Songs! Still! Really!

 

No idea what this is. I mean, I know what it sounds like, and I like it, but I don't know near enough to know what it really is. Sigune von Osten sure has an impressive resume, but her profile on record seems to be scant indded. Why that is, I have no idea. I also don't have enough of a base knowledge to know how well she's interpreting this stuff. Her Cage does compare favorably to Cathy Berberian's, although of course, it's doesn't (it can't) ahve the real-time mindfuck quality that Berberian brought full on.

Tell you what, though - if I ser her walking around, I'm a=gonna follow her for a while. Seems like where she goes, things follow.

A very personal reading of Brahms' Third. Lenny seems to caress and linger over every phrase. I suppose you could say that in doing so Bernstein loses the forest for all the trees -- but I love it. It's old-school -- like Lenny's saying, "I know this isn't 'by the book,' but I've earned the right to offer up this music my way."

Act 2

Found this for 2 euro, had to try but i lost it.

 

At this moment in time (understanding) this piece is to complex for me.

Also: pretentieus, over the top, not to digest, singing is unintelligible. Mannn, i wanted to like this but i didn't.

Maybe time will learn. maybe not.....

 

Pretentieus doesn't mean good in any way...

One might not normally associate the word "beautiful" with Schoenberg's music, but I think his Op.16 is beautiful.

I've been grooving to Radu Lupu's Schubert lately -- but Pollini's is superb as well. :tup:tup:tup
