Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

About half of what the lesser goldfinch sings is mimicked. I have a large audience who visit me every day and we jam.

Thanks for your patience with me and for your musical intelligence ...

i understand your point about Scriabin...It is an acquired taste , most people are not  born loving Scriabin...

I have finished playing around with my new cartridge for today so I have turned to Tatiana Nikolayeva. I am listening to her play Beethoven sonatas, some of which I know pretty well. I am listening to her play #18, The Hunt. I know this piece quite well. I have an album of Artur Rubinstein playing it on his 90th birthday. He approaches it like childplay and plays it with a kind of childish glee. I have never heard anyone I liked as much playing the piece, but I think Nikolayeva has a style as unique and enjoyable as Rubinstein. I needed to get away from Scriabin, whom I don't know well and understand, to a composer I do know, in order to judge her playing. I am coming to your opinion that she is one of the greats of the 20th century.

I enjoyed the Villa Scriabin performances very much. You are starting to make me rethink my opposition to streaming, suggesting these recordings that are not obtainable on physical media! ;o) 

At worst we can listen to them on youtube...

music matter more than sound and youtube is not perfect but listenable...I prefer youtube than paying for streaming and buying a streamer...

And what exist on cd if i love it i can purchase it or reach to it...

It is impossible to hear the 200 songs of Peter Deunov on a cd or with streaming, it does not exist but on youtube,  not only a great musician but a spiritual seer and a real one ...

I own 22 albums  of Stephan Micus 

He play all instruments in all of his albums, makes all the voices...

He composed  songs  in a language he created himself ...

This is the first song of the "garden of mirrors" : "earth"

A genius rooted in the earth in the age of uprooting  ...
