The Best Live Recordings on Youtube
Thanks @schubert Takes me a bit more time to work through the classical recommendations, but I'll have a listen. No doubt that there's a huge amount of worthy, top notch music in that genre. And as you can tell, I'm unfairly biased against it. As a poor white guy from farm country in Kansas, I just have an anti-elitism, anti-upper class trigger. No good letting such biases get in the way of appreciating music though. Thanks for sharing. |
@cal3713 You are entirely correct: the notion that classical music is a somehow a superior genre is to the large part class related, Classical music and opera have always been associated with the upper classes, while blues, jazz and their derivatives .have their roots associated with an underclass (slavery). Folk, bluegrass and Country have ties with the working class. I don’t see any objective basis for this assertion whatsoever - good music is good music, period. Pure transcendent magic can be found in all genres, as your YouTube playlist amply demonstrates. |
@pesky_wabbit In large part due to your help! Thanks. Perhaps there's not much more YouTube experience to tap on Audiogon, but hopefully we can get some more people weighing in this week. Please send in some more suggestions folks! http://youtube.com/user/cal3713 |
