What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Ref the debate Dausgaard vs Stupel I'm listening and comparing these:




That is the only Stupel CD I own. I bought it last year on Johan's recommendation. This will be its maiden voyage.

Edit: Can't compare the Second symphonies. Two different versions.


Sarge

That's correct. But you can compare which version of the Second you find more cogent or satisfying... Both have their strong points.

Langgggaaard has too many g's and a's in his name, so I'll listen to this instead:

You guys may continue with your second- and third-rate composers...

Throw Koechlin in for the fourth-raters . . . .

; )

[Florestan]

You guys may continue with your second- and third-rate composers...

To be a first-class third-rate composer is no small achievement, though.

Exactly.

Langgaard
Symphony № 2, Vårbrud (Awakening of Spring), BVN 53 Original version (1912-14)
Inger Dam-Jensen, soprano
Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra
Dausgaard

The first movement is magnificent, I love all the brassy fanfare bits . . . it's like the spirit of Siegfried in the fresh air of the North, before it stewed in that Southern funk ; )

[Sergeant Rock]

Well, the dorks are out on parade today, aren't they?

Isn't is nice to have a place where we dorks can congregate without being ridiculed?

At the beginning I hear Til Eulenspiegel's Danish cousin too (Stupel bringing out the Strauss allusion more forcefully than Dausgaard).

Sarge

[karlhenning]

And I hope, Sarge, that the Lento religioso quasi adagio was retained intact in the revision! Beautiful.

Like Sara, I'll still working on schemata for the cycle . . . I am still at only the ruedimentary (arf! arf!) stage where I know that the youthful works are guileless in their exultation of talent, and at some point later some degree of jaded cynicism set in.  Not all the humor in the oeuvre can be bitter, though, meseems.

INNDEEEED! This assault on our interests has highly damaged by equilibrium - I am going to my room to sulk.

No.13 is... a lot more dramatic than I remembered, which makes the main theme incessantly returning all the stranger. The particularly dramatic parts, underpinned by organ triggered the most perculiar moment for me. They are very memorable, expertly done - so much so that my mind had retained them, but misattributed them somewhere in the region of Tchaikovsky. I am now unsure whether they really do recall something from that composer's work, or whether I simply misplaced the thematic material in my mental catalogue -_-
