One of the biggest mysteries of season 2 for me is how Aziraphale can listen to Shostakovich's 5th finale like this:

Cause let me tell you, in the last 20 or so years I've listened to this symphony many times, I've even played it (among the 2nd violins group). And every time when I hear this music, I feel like this:

Because Shostakovich's music in general and this one in particular is all about suffering, death and horror (under the mask of false joy occasionally). It's very heavy metal, actually. So, my question is: Aziraphale, WTF? :D

Maybe people/beings with no soviet background tainting their minds couldn't understand this layer of meaning (although I don't think that it's true. I think that shit is universal, it doesn't matter if you live in a totalitarism or authoritarism or democracy). But! Aziraphale has the similar experience to Shostakovich, hasn't he? The Heaven as we see it in the series is pretty much a totalitarian (or at least authoritarian) state.

Maybe the interpretation on Aziraphale's record was so wrong that the finale genuinely sounded like a joyful march of happy and united soviet people? It happens, even to good conductors. But how could he not recognise the horrors lurking under the surface, hiding in all the dissonants and in the beating of the drums and in the hysterical violins' ostinato anyway? It bugs me every time I rewatch episode 1 🙈

(If you want to listen to this symphony, I highly recommend to find the record conducted by Yevgeny Mravinsky. Then you'll get what I'm trying to say here)

#of course it's not a Clue #but it's the Choice (actor's or director's) #and if this scene and the choice of music in it is as important as we all think then Aziraphale's reaction is also important #and deliberate #good omens season 2 #aziraphale #dmitri shostakovitch

What's the longest song you've listened to?

okay so i think the longest piece of music ive ever listened to in one sitting is the opera Salome by Richard Strauss, lasting 1 hour and 39 mins. (performed by Georg Solti [cond.] w/ Weiner Philharmoniker)

salome is great music wise and the plot is quite unhinged if i do say so myself. also the final minutes of the ending is quite something.

other contenders include:

Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" (1h31m) (Leonard Bernstein [cond.] w/ New York Philharmonic)

J. S. Bach - The Art Of Fugue (1h22m) (Joanna MacGregor [pfte.])

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" (1h12m) (Yevgeny Mravinsky [cond.] w/ Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra)

also as a side note, i have had Kaikhosru Sorabji's Sequentia Cyclica ex Dies Iræ (performed by Johnathan Powell) sitting in my Spotify playlist for the longest time. i have been meaning to listen to it for a while now.

the problem is that its 8 hours and 23 minutes long.

it would take up my whole day to listen to it.

Hi!! Do u have any recs for someone who knows practically nothing abt classical music? I've been studying music theory and I feel it's a good genre to learn from :)

sure thing! however, i just want to talk about two things beforehand.

first, classical music differs from other genres of music in that the recording matters. this is because different performers have different interpretations of the music, among other reasons. for this purpose, i have provided my recommendations for recordings with the pieces ill be listing, however i strongly encourage you to find what you like the most.

the second thing i want to talk about is basically me getting into semantics. there are a few different eras of classical music, and they are all stylistically different. the main eras are the baroque era (~1600-1750), the classical era (~1750-1830), the romantic era (~1830-1920), and post-romantic/contemporary classical (~1920-present). i just want to point this out because the stylistic contrast between these eras is quite pronounced, and will help explain some things.

and with my ramblings out of the way, here are my recs!

Baroque:

Antonio Vivaldi - La Folia (Op. 1 No. 12) (Il Giardino Armonico [ensemble])

Johann Sebastian Bach - The Art Of Fugue (BWV 1080) (Joanna MacGregor [pfte.])

Classical

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" (Op. 55) (Herbert von Karajan [cond.] w/ Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra)

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Die Große Fuge (Op. 133) (Takács Quartet [str.qt.]) *

Romantic

Ferrucio Busoni - Piano Concerto in C Major (Op. 39) (Marc-André Hamelin [pfte.], Osmo Vänskä [cond.] w/ Lahti Symphony Orchestra) * ***

Franz Liszt - Totentanz (S. 126i) (Steven Mayer [pfte.], Tamás Vásáry [cond.] w/ London Symphony Orchestra)

Moritz Moszkowski - Piano Concerto in E Major (Op. 59) (Markus Pawlik [pfte.], Antoni Wit [cond.] w/ Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra)

Post-Romantic/Contemporary Classical

Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (Leonard Bernstein [cond.] w/ New York Philharmonic Orchestra) * **

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5 (Op. 47) (Yevgeny Mravinsky [cond.] w/ Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra) **

Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 9 (Op. 117) (Fitzwilliam Quartet [str.qt.]

Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No. 1 (Gidon Kremer [vln.], Tatiana Grindenko [vln.], Heinrich Schiff [cond.] w/ Chamber Orchestra of Europe) *

Alberto Ginastera - Piano Sonata No. 1 (Terence Judd [pfte.]) *

Maurice Ravel - Introduction and Allegro, for Harp, Flute, Clarinet, and String Quartet (Skaila Kanga [hrp.], Academy of St. Martin in the fields)

* - this piece is fuckin SPICY. you have been warned.

** - if you're interesting in music history you should look up the backgrounds surrounding these ones

*** - the recording quality is shit

so yeah. i prefer more modern music so i put quite a few more modern works on the list than most people would.

anyways, happy listening!

DIA 19 DE MAIO : DMITRI CHOSTAKOVITCH EM DOSE DUPLA NA GULBENKIAN : foi ontem o penúltimo concerto da temporada Gulbenkian com um programa aliciante que continha duas obras chave de Dmitri Chostakovitch . Abriu com o o Concerto para Violoncelo e Orquestra n.º 1 em Mi bemol maior, op. 107 que desde a sua estreia, em 1959, conquistou um lugar cimeiro no repertório . É considerado o seu melhor concerto para violoncelo por causa da maneira como combina ideias musicais poderosas com uma extraordinária escrita virtuosa para o instrumento que demonstram amplamente a confiança do compositor na arte do lendário Mstislav Rostropovich, para quem o trabalho foi escrito. A estreia foi a 4 de outubro de 1959 em Leningrado com Rostropovich no violoncelo e a Filarmónica de Leningrado conduzida por Yevgeny Mravinsky. Ontem coube a Marco Pereira, solista da Orquestra Gulbenkian e antigo primeiro violoncelo da Orquestra Metropolitana o desafio da sua interpretação . O jovem solista teve uma prestação notável e sóbria de uma obra que me fascina . . Ao longo do concerto , uma trompa s desempenha o papel do alter ego do solista, muitas vezes envolvendo-se em diálogos extensos enquanto a orquestra “descansa”. Poucos concertos na história do instrumento tem uma uma expressão tão poderosa.. Depois do intervalo o maestro Hannu Lintu futuro director musical da Gulbenkian regressou para dirigir a ., Sinfonia n.º 11, em Sol menor, op. 103, (O ano de 1905) .Estreada em 1957, a 11ª é uma das mais ricas e poderosas sinfonias de Shostakovich. É também uma dos mais abertamente políticas.. « It is a colossal orchestral tapestry that depicts stultifying oppression and horrific violence, before closing in the defiant jubilation of resistance. »As canções russas estão incorporadas seu tecido de uma forma que lembra o uso de música popular por Mahler, o que surge de forma incomparável pela beleza da textura e pela subtileza na gravação de Mariss Jansons com a Orquestra da Filadélfia - mas a beleza impecável não é a primeira qualidade que se deseja na 11ª de Shostakovich: deve gerar uma resposta emotiva quase visceral como a de Evgeny Mravinsky com Filarmônica de Leningrado. Na gravação de 1967 (Praga). É uma performance de ferocidade desenfreada e compaixão avassaladora..Quanto a Lintu fez ontem uma leitura apaixonada e competente da obra viajando do Adágio a passo de caracol ao triunfo final com grande cometimento das suas forças .Foi tempo de consolo ….

The image of Ulanova – gentle, fragile and wise – was given to me in my early youth and is rooted in my heart and memory forever.  Each encounter with Ulanova and her art, each memory of her, is always a great thrill and happiness.  With thanks to her and gratitude to Fate for having given her to us.

The outstanding conductor and Shostakovich interpreter Mariss Jansons has died at the age of 77 in St. Petersburg, according to a family friend. The cause of death was acute heart failure. He was born in Latvia on 14 January 1943.

Mariss Jansons was a graduate of the Leningrad State Conservatory, a student of Yevgeny Mravinsky. In 2005 he received a Grammy Award for his interpretation of Shostakovich's 13th Symphony.
