The last movement of the B7 is something that put the symphony as a symphony together and it is not a good idea in my view to look at the last movement as a self-contained piece of music. The fist movement might be self-contained – it is a wonderful ...

The 4th movement of Beethoven's was playing on the radio the other day and my ears perked up. I almost didn't recognize it at all. I was quite surprised to find out that it was performed by my humble local Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal and the ch...

...forces numbering 1000 happened only once -- at the premier, where 1039 were reported, including the conductor, Mahler himself.
The title Symphony of a Thousand was given by the promoter of that concert, so they pretty much had to gather the 100...

for me, in answer to your first question.His violin-concerto, I have with Rainer, and various piano concertos do not give this notion of going nowhere. It is the 1st movement of the 4th symphony with C. Kleiber (I can’t listen past it, I get so a...

I believe a year or so was announced that Riccardo Muti will lead the CSO. I have no specific love of hate to Riccardo Muti but as long he is not Daniel Barenboim who in my view destroyed CSO I very enthusiastic about Riccardo Muti. Today WGBH broadc...

Yep, but Gorecki has to do with it. Unicon implied that Symphony No.3 has the “sorrows that Jews well faced in death camps” but reading about the 3rg Symphony I see no mentioning of the death camps in the program:

Symphony No.3 has nothing with the death camps, middle part refer to II war. It say about sorrow of a single man in Polish mouintans. This opinion about death camps in Gorecki Symphony No.3 comes from Staalhoj and Palmer movies where is pla...

No 4th of July would be complete without some martial music, including the oft-adopted-by-the-military JP Sousa.
I actually like band music, and I have some very interesting old dubs of JP Sousa's music conducted during Souza's lifetime by Edw...

This past weekend I was able to have an extended listen to the revised Melchiades amplifers. My previous listening session left something to be desired with midbass punch and dynamics. Had I not have heard mini me it may not have been noticeable. ...

Interesting that if to leave aside the “tragic” context of the Tchaikovsky’s Six then I would say that I like the Tchaikovsky’s Fifth more then any other his symphonies. Sure it too much Slavic but it was kind of first Tchaikovsky’s “real” symp...

Klausner, of cause what you write is perfectly valid in wider sense but since you posted it at audio forum I kind of trying to detect into what you saying an audio angle. In your first post you complained about the sub-adequate quality of sound the S...

Beinum recorded the Bruckner 8 in 1955 twice, in April and In June. My comment above goes for June recording.
There is something else I would like to add in context to Beinum 55 vs. Lubeck’s Wand.
The Lubeck’s Wand to me is still the ultim...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A few days back Simon

Nope is it now what extraterrestrials would love but rather we would be able to offer to them to demonstrate what our Earth Classical Music (let say Western music) is all about.
