cochise Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Talking about J.S. Bach here's a true classical classic. Thank you Nikred....it's been a long time since I have listened to it. Isn't Bach the master of all western classical composers? He had a rival in Beethoven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a rival in Beethoven. My dad has a huge collection of western classical music. Growing as kid I heard lots of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and many other artists. I don't really have one favorite over another but there are some pieces that I will always cherish Bach's Air is one of them. Here is another one by Liszt. g20IziNMq2U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wicket Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Isn't Bach the master of all western classical composers? He had a rival in Beethoven. Debatable; I'd consider some of Mozart's works to be equally comparable. Have you heard his 41st Symphony, particularly the Solti conducted recordings of the finale? And while Wagner was stylistically very different and certainly nowhere as consistent as those three, I consider some of Wagner's very best stuff to be up there with Beethoven and Bach's. But I'm biased; the overture to Der Fliegende Hollander is one of my very favourite pieces of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cochise Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wagner! Yes indeed! But nowhere near Bach and Beethoven...by my estimation...he was so grand...not sublime. Humility was lacking in his music.

Mr. Wicket Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Thank you cochise; it's been a while since I listened to the Moonlight Sonata. Here is "Jupiter", one of my very favourites. noAPeUlOjfc&feature=related prJ83R0Ev_8&feature=related UdpNf_1VXwg&feature=related yRUlzJn8UeU&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wicket Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wagner! Yes indeed! But nowhere near Bach and Beethoven...by my estimation...he was so grand...not sublime. Yup. But he could pull off 'grand' like nobody else. The Flying Dutchman, some of Lohengrin and certain bits of the Ring cycle are truly amazing pieces to listen to. Not as calm as Bach, not as seamlessly written and sublime as Mozart or Beethoven, but still genius. (Of course, there's a lot he composed that I'm not as fond of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wicket Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 BTW; one of the greatest live performances I've ever witnessed was the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing the overture to the Flying Dutchman. No vocals/opera; just a performance from the orchestra that would make anyone sit up and go "holy ****". (Unfortunately I think some of Wagner's work suffers from too much overplaying... the Ride of the Valkyries is an amazing piece but the number of movies/other situations where it's used out of context as background music seems to have hurt the reputation of that piece. The same for Rossini's Barber of Seville overture...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
