Good to see some classical vinyls explored!!

I enjoyed this discussion so much! Please make more videos together! Northern New Jersey loves you :)

This was fantastic. Found some new music to check out!

My favourite KZread video! Thank you

Great video!

Love it...Wagner the Led Zep of classical music!!! Spot on. Wagner wrote some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful music. Really enjoyed this talk/format

Really enjoy your classical music discussions, along with Sounds Strange. Great to see you collab with Mazzy. Colin Stetson's Reimagining of Gorecki's Sym No.3 is one to try. I actually enjoy it more than the Zinman.

Also symphony No. 4 by Henryk Górecki is worth attention, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it!

I had to listen in installments because of the length but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope they will do another classical episode soon.

The best 4 corners yet. Well done to all. Great interactions, perspectives and information. Thanks!!!

Excellent, glad to see people getting into orchestral music 🎶

"32 Short Films About Glenn Gould" is an excellent film. The actor who portrays Gould is Colm Feore.

I really enjoyed this! Thanks guys!

Really enjoyed this quad input. Hope y’all can do this again. You have given me so many LP’s to take a look at.

Love this video! Do more!

A wonderful discussion, lively, sincere, with a wonderful sense of humor! Michael, it's great that you showed the vinyl of Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony! And there is no doubt that Andre Previn's LSO recording on EMI is one of the best. Stunning with its monumentality and at the same time sincerity, human lyricism music! Each, though rare, meeting with a live performance of this symphony in concerts is always a joy and special excitement! Of the recordings, I would like to note the interpretations of Nikolai Golovanov and Evgeny Svetlanov. They absolutely somehow especially felt the lyrics of Rachmaninoff!

Awesome.......!!!!!! Thank you......!!!!!

Thinking of what I would choose: 1. Janos Starker - Bach unaccompanied Cello 2. Du Pre - Elgar cello concerto 3. Scheherazade -Reiner/CSO 4. Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances / Vocalise Dallas Orchestra 5. Tchaikovsky Symphony 4-6 box set Maravinsky

This is so cool. Love the side note info tidbits. Starker walking off a performance because he wasn't allowed to have his ciggy!

I have an original pressing of "Corroborree" and the 3-channel SACD. The SACD is a system destroyer; bass and dynamics are off the charts. There is some audible tape overload at the climax but it hardly matters...it's an amazing recording.

The Antill "Corroboree" is extraordinary. According to the notes, Everest recorded it on an Ampex 300, using 1/2" tape. The cover is one of Alex Steinweiss' iconic designs.

Great info 🙏

Enjoyable video even though only one person (Michael from Phoenix) is the true classical music expert. As a long term Classical Music Lover myself I second most of what he said and the historical context he brings to the pieces he's sharing is absolutely top-notch ... very few people do that. Good work Michael. As of the other guest it's also quite interesting to see their choices as explorer of this vast genre. I will research some of the picks on the usual streaming services .. some of those vinyls cost a fortune or they are impossible to get. Thanks for sharing.

I'm learning quite a bit about classical music 🎶! I'm trying to learn more about it so I'll know how ask for certain music! Classical music has a language all its own, that's what makes it so enticing to me!

Valued clip thank you

That's a Richard Avedon portrait of Stravinsky on the cover of the Columbia "Rite of Spring."

Opera highlights - Reader’s Digests opera

A friend of mine critiqued the Met's most recent production of Boris Gudunov in five words: "Too brown. Too many men." I think she nailed it. Made me want to immediately listen to "Der Rosenkavalier" to kind of right the balance.

Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky...i don't think i have any objection to the performance but the photo is notable in that the photographer is Richard Avedon and just look at his tie. it must have been prohibitively expensive. the reflection of the windows in his glasses seems to be an industrial building or warehouse with skylights. i usually buy a copy when the cover is in great condition. my favorite Stravinsky ballet is Petrushka especially by Pierre Boulez on Columbia. and that Boulez was a Stravinsky expert, i found that his Firebird and Rite were top-notch. my first Rite was bought when i decided to self educate in classical recorded music was von Karajan on DG. not spacially accurate but you could pressurize a room with it much the same as you can with Skinny Puppy's The Process. BRAVO on this YT, i like the mix of opinions and knowledge assembled here. i only want to voice my objection to vaping on screen in view of the lack of need for such a distraction. ...hifitommy

Please listen to the third symphony of Gorecki as soon as possible! Believe me,you will not be disappointed.

I think the Goreckin recording is much later...late 80s or 90s

I'd recommend listening to The Rite of Spring in its original piano-four-hands version. As good as the orchestrated is, the piano version is a knockout. I have a rare vinyl issue performed by Ron and Rosslyn Farren-Price. The Australian pressing is only fair, but the performance and recording are incredible. MOVE MS 3017

I love classical music as much as rock or jazz . The classical records usually cost less and especially the second hand ones . A number of years ago the CBC Radio Canada went digital and got rid of an extremely large record collection that was started in the 1950s. All these records were dumped in the landfill before the public got wind of it . I love Holst, Wagner , Beethoven, Bach ,Schoenberg, Elgar ,Tchaikovsky, Aram Khachaturian . I don't like Mozart and it takes too long to explain why.

Tripped over this great video after a link posted recently by Mazzy. Some fine recommendations on show, a few of which I own. I enjoyed the discussion very much. Bloody long though! Last year I did my own video of 'Classical Music for Rock Lovers', picking out some wonderful compositions that might appeal to the adventurous rock fan. I'd been wrestling with the idea for a long while, until I thought I better get on with it. It's here, with appropriate rock music references! kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYuj09ODc7jFo5s.html

But the first was Glinka...with his great pieces.

Upper Left - clueless exclusivity audiophile Upper Right broken record that got traded in for cds Lower left - genuine joy Lower Right - deep diving curious

Arvo Part and his people suffered much under communism, and his faith in Christ, not Zen Buddhism nor anything like from those from other minimalists , is what's behind his great , and for the most part much better, music...

When I started my audiophile career? What?

Kinf of interesting but...... one guy is more interested in illustrations than classical music and another guy - the host - seems to be just starting to enjoy good music and the other guy,, who seems to be the best informed, can be seem squirming next to his Oppo screen trying to make a legitimate contribution wea re all waiting for. The German guest forces himself to remain pleasant and courteous while he is hardly called upon to say anothing adn could say a great deal.. C- One good thing about this presentation is that no one is weariing a baseball hat......for a change.

Since today's young generation is more open that the much stiffer older folks used to be, is time now to bring some class (as in classical) back into the culture. Breadmaker, we need more videos like this from you too...but please Maslow (and the others, plus the token, clueless German ) time to move on from your more of the same, "progressive", black light, color , comments (sort of like "the kettle..".). But the way, there are also tons of great 20th Century classical music from Europe that never, ever gets played by radio stations, or orchestras in the US, apart from the same old samo; besides the music from the American Alex North is 7 times better than whatever music from Ligetti is on that "2001" movie, sans the Hollyweird hype (couldn't think of Beethoven , Schubert or any of the great masters of music ,ever calling that "music". More like it what conductor Michael Tilson Thomas referred as 20th Century 'noise")...Praying to God that in these times of the China virus, the cold ( Breadmaker will blame it on an ALlergy though) that guy who sneezed right on camera has , goes away...

Is this sarcasm ''God'', ''China Virus'' ?

“Token clueless German”??? What kinds of BS comment is that? Your comment sounds very elitist and you seem to think of yourself very highly. “The China virus”? I think you mean, “COVID 19”. Calling it the China virus makes it seem like you’re more concerned about the political optics rather than the affects on the human race. Trump much?
