(western) classical music discussion

It's nice. I'm not sure exactly why Smalin felt the need to create a new version, but it's okay.
Also, I just noticed for the first time, some elements of the early part resemble this Philip Glass piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5uVEMzPR-U
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
![[Image: harmlesskitchen.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/yxR97P23/harmlesskitchen.png) I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad. 
Just listened to Berg's violin concerto properly for the first time. I didn't stick with it the first time. It's better than I remembered it. Maybe I was initially put off by the slow, depressing pace of it.
When googling Prokofiev vs Berg I came across this article. The author mentions Bax quite a bit, a relatively unknown composer as having similar strengths as Prokofiev. I've bought a lot of music by Bax and went through a long phase of listening only to his stuff, but haven't listened to it in a few years. I should probably revisit it. These ones stand out for me: 
Quite possible, not every performance of the concerto is created equal. There are performances of some of my favorite things that I don't enjoy...

Thanks for that Alex.
Clearly, if a time machine was built, I think we know the first thing that would need to be rescued from the past. :-) RE: (western) classical music discussion

Radiophonic experts and their complicated equipment? Nooo, we don't need those guys anymore
 I must say though, I find the practise of putting water-filled flower pots on top of expensive electronics questionable. The BBC filming or not

But it's history! I could play with one of those things for years and more. :-)

But as the smart BBC man says, with the newfangled Moog "synthesizer", we don't need any Radiophonic experts with complicated equipment. All we need is this monster and a metric tonne of patch caples

It's always the same problem with people who hail new technology, they don't take into account the human aspect of it. Yes, you could have a Moog (sorry, mogue) instead of a room full of instruments. But then you have a room full of one instrument that sounds like a Moog rather than a room full of infinitely more expressive instruments that sound better. Would be pretty fun to play with though! |
