Quote from: Madiel on Today at 11:49:43 PMYour use of words is arbitrary. And yet somehow you want me to care how you use them.

Quote from: foxandpeng on Today at 11:26:43 AMI like Helvi Leiviska's Symphony #1 very much indeed, as with her #2. Very worthwhile, particularly after enough listens to generate familiarity. Thumbs up from me, anyhoo.Good to know that you like the Leiviska as well Danny.

Sir Hubert Parry
Symphony 1
London Philharmonic
Matthias Bamert
Outside of my regular listening arc, but always enjoyable to revisit Parry's symphonies. They are monuments to their time, in some respects, but I do like them and they form part of the rich heritage of music from these fair islands, so why not? Working with no phone to hand, so good old YouTube for the choons.
Quote from: Spotted Horses on Today at 11:48:29 AMI haven't read it, but I think I may have read a review of it.
Quote from: AnotherSpin on Today at 11:03:52 PMAre the recordings of Mahler's 9th Symphony really different? The record companies executives will say yes, critics will readily confirm. The other question is, how many of these versions do you need at any given moment of time? And there is only this moment.
You and I look at the ability to choose in different ways. Ultimately, it all comes down to the ability to distinguish between what is desired and what is necessary.
Quote from: Madiel on Today at 09:03:20 PMMozart: Missa longa in C major, K.262/246a
There are only 2 volumes so far but this is supposed to become a complete set of Mozart's masses. I'm a total novice to this music, but I'm finding this performance very appealing - nice energy, a good scale sounding neither thin nor overly grand. I'd be interested to know if others have heard this album (or volume 2) and what they thought.
Quote from: Madiel on Today at 01:20:59 PMI reject the claims of total subjectivity just as much as I would reject claims of objectivity.
No, it is not totally subjective. Opinions about art are not random. They do not sit on a bell curve.
Treating any one review as gospel truth is an error. Treating the collective wisdom of reviews as worthless is just the opposite error.
And one that makes me wonder why people are on the forum, frankly. Here we are, constantly sharing mini-reviews, and every now and then someone seems to declare that sharing opinions is utterly valueless, which would make what they are reading AND POSTING an exercise in futility.
I care what other people write about music and performances. That's why I read it.
