Review of "Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 'Pastoral.'” Also, Stucky: Silent Sprint. Manfred Honeck, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Reference Recordings FR-7475SACD

Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, at least five of which (Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9) are probably the best known and most popular. But if I had to guess further, I’d say that today’s average non-classical music listener might only know the first four notes of the Fifth and the finale of the Ninth (oh, yeah, they’d say, that’s from Die-Hard). Yet thanks in part to Disney’s Fantasia, they might also recognize most any part of the Sixth. Which brings us to a dilemma faced by any conductor undertaking a new recording of the “Pastoral”: how to make it different enough to distinguish it from the 800 other recordings currently available and make it worthwhile enough for potential buyers to consider adding it to their music library.

Todays rip: 29/01/2021

Sable's Stickerbush

Season 6 Featured on: siivagunner's highest quality rips: volume

Ripped by eva twin

Alright, I can't help it - I promised I was going to move on from MAGFest, but it has positively infested my mind. Everyone's sets at Chipspace were absolutely incredible, and I believe I've raved enough about them for a lifetime with Mother, Father, TechnoMan alone. Yet there was something quite magical about eva twin's set in particular. She was not only playing her own rips - she was PERFORMING them.

(link to the Twitch VOD of the Chipspace sets)

With a bass in hand and a setlist of rips ready to go, eva twin's 20-minute set of hand-picked rips was one of the most transcendant experiences I've ever had with the SiIvaGunner channel. Maybe it was just a bunch of colliding factors exclusive to my own experience - the live-chat experience, the brand new pair of headphones with an emphasized bass, and the fact that I've only through this blog discovered just how rich of a track record eva twin has with chill, atmospheric yet feel-good rips such as Blessing the Dire, Dire Rains and Mii Favorite Things. Both of these were covered here on the blog before being featured on the Chipspace set, and eva twin was one of the first rippers that I was made aware of having read the blog to begin with, even way back in June and July. I can't help but feel a little touched to think that I may have, through this blog and the word I spread on here, influenced eva twin to chose those two rips in particular for her set. Be that the case or not, I feel obligated to return the favor by covering a third rip from this set - Sable's Stickerbush.

Out of all the rips from the set - at least, the ones I haven't covered yet - I think Sable's Stickerbush mainly just sticks out because I hadn't ever heard it. Sable is a game that sits firmly in my backlog of "it looks interesting I guess"-kinds of games, and with less than 10K views on its YouTube upload Sable's Stickerbush was bound to be a rip I forgot about quite quickly. Yet the absolute vibe captured through using what's perhaps the oldest yet most effective trick in the book - Stickerbush Symphony of Stickerbrush State of Mind (and so many more) fame. Yet paired with the instrumentation and hauntingly beautiful vocals of Sable's Glider theme, it somehow manages to play second fiddle in terms of melody in a way it typically really doesn't do in rips - despite never having heard it before, Glider by Japanese Breakfast captured my imagination right away upon hearing it.

I'll no longer get to have the experience of hearing Glider for the first time within the Sable game itself, yet I can't find it in me to be mad whatsoever when the experience I had listening to Sable's Stickerbush for the first time was just as magical. Even without eva twin's bass performance from Chipspace, the rip stands as an absolutely magical combination of two pitch-perfect sources, a true expression of love toward Sable and its small yet devoted fanbase. And, of course, nothing but another feather in eva twin's cap of excellent sound.

no one writes character studies like you,, the wylan one was insane (i still think about it every day) but the jesper one??????? it's ridiculously hard to pick a favorite line when everything is pure POETRY so here are three lines that will haunt me forever:

This was his inheritance: a magic, that had lost its wonder. A blessing, that had lost its holiness.

A return address for all his regrets. A post box for all his guilt.

He wasn’t a knight, he was – little rabbit, his mother’s voice echoed. Prey, running fast but never fast enough.

i really don't know how you keep writing these banger fics but i hope you keep writing them 💞

aksdkdfkdsk hi anon!! thank you so much! the jesper and wylan fics are very much in conversation with each other -- i don't think i could have written the jesper one without having written the wylan one. for example, this part about jesper, and how he feels like a lie, like an impostor:

He tried to reach for it, deep down, but felt only the ticking of the cogs from the shop, metal trapped behind glass. A clockwork heart, for a clockwork prince. For a clockwork lie. Jesper had never been good with the living, either: he couldn’t make petals bloom like his mother did. He could only wound, bullet loaded into another barrel, regret loaded into another guilt.

i wrote that to echo this part about wylan:

Ten, counting meant Wylan could make his kruge last a little longer in the Barrel. It meant he could measure how long he had left with Jesper. Ten more heartbeats before Wylan would have to go below deck again, his own eyes the gold of a stranger’s but his own heart still the dull driftwood splintered at its edges, rotting at its core. Not a real boy, just a puppet trying not to drown.

and i definitely wrote the line about jesper's inheritance to mirror wylan's own inheritance, because i really wanted to explore what that meant for jesper -- which ties in to the letters because the contrast between colm's unanswered letters to jesper vs. jan van eck's unanswered letters to wylan will always haunt me too :)

anyway, i've written so much of wylan's POV that i needed to give jesper some love too, and i'm really so glad you liked how it turned out 💙

#asks #anon #thank you for this it always makes me #very happy to know which lines hit most #and thank you for giving me a chance to ramble about jesper aksdkfd #i need some time to recover after writing this one #but rest assured there are more character studies coming #they seem to be the only thing i'm capable of writing these days #fic: symphony no. 6 #six of crows #jesper fahey #wesper

Liveblogging my listen of beethoven 6 for next semester of uni

#beethoven #ludwig van beethoven #beethoven symphony no. 6 'pastoral'

[lotrmusical]

What are your top 3 symphonies?

1. tchaik 6, 2. tchaik 6, 3. tchaik 6 --

in all seriousness my top 3 apart from that are probably 1. dvořák 9 (obvious), 2. shostakovich 7 (first symphony i heard performed live and it hooked itself into my brain), aaand 3... probably sibelius 2 at the moment tbh (symphonybracket introduced me to this one and i keep going back to it, the second movement in particular makes me lose my mind)

#obligatory disclaimer my Symphony Appreciation Skills are amateur-level! i don't know a lot i'm just here for fun! #(for 'fun' read 'unwarrantedly strong opinions') #i do really really like mahler 2 as well. it's my nemesis in the bracket at the min but if we lose i won't be able to be too mad abt it #on account of mahler 2 being really very good #aand uh shoutout to schubert 5 as well for something more classical-flavoured. it's not on this list bc it doesnt explode my brain but i #listen to it fairly often. cozy :)) #also hello thanks for asking!!! what are your favourites!!! sorry we're obliged to be mortal enemies in the tchaik 6 vs mahler 2 battle! #ask #recapitulation #gay belligerence

[recapitulation]

i love it when someone has their own special little symphony they want to talk abt always . this has nothing to do with me or mahler 2 btw

#actually im not joking im reading tam's tchaik 6 essay rn hi tam <3 #also i've been texting pj my old horn prof abt prokofiev 5 #also also dear person who submitted prokofiev 7 i see u i now understand i need to listen to more proko symphonies

[reese-has-gone-insane]

Reviews of The Apples in Stereo’s “Her Wallpaper Reverie” and Music Tapes’ “1st Imaginary Symphony For Nomad”, Reno Gazette Journal, 6 August 1999

transcript:

The Apples in Stereo “Her Wallpaper Reverie” (EP) SpinArt Records ***1/2

Music Tapes “1st Imaginary Symphony For Nomad” Merge Records ***

Here are the latest two releases from the Elephant 6 Collective, an inventive loosely tied troupe of musicians who are re-writing the rules of psychedelic pop. These two records are good examples of how far these groups are pushing the envelope instead of just revisiting Lucy in the Sky for some quick bucks.

The Apples in Stereo contribute more brilliant pop, although it’s a departure from their previous work. It’s like a microcosmic version of the Beatles’ “White Album.” Songs like “The Shiney Sea” and “Strawberryfire” are slower and more deliberate than the band’s peppier work, and the album is strewn with odd electronic blips and bloops linking the songs (to be fair, most of these are irritating). Still, fans of the Apples’ hook-happy tunes will love “Ruby,” “Questions and Answers” and the great tune “Y2K,” which perfectly encapsulates the stupidity of millennial fear.

The Music Tapes features members of Neutral Milk Hotel, the most brilliant Elephant 6 group. But, the Tapes’ debut is very different from the Hotel’s skewered folk-pop: “Nomad” is kind of like those odd cassette tapes children make when they have big imaginations but limited talent, and I mean that in a good way. It’s a fun, challenging record to dive into, with great pop songs like “Aliens” and “What the Single Made the Needle Sing” sharing space with odd skits, surface noise, narration and even strategically placed dead silence. It’s not the easiest listen in the world, but it is certainly distinctive and creative.

AO3 is down so I'll leave my comment here: your Jesper character study is a work of the saints. Lines like "He ended up liking the bright colors, wearing his grief on his sleeve and calling it fashion." and "A mirror, broken before he could ever see himself." and "To feel the quiver of its music and understand, at last, what worship meant."

You write the Crows with so much haunting tenderness and kind understanding -- it's safe to say your writing changed me and it's inspirational and I'll forever be thinking about it. Thank you.

aksdksdfkdsfkssdkdsk anon i'm. i just read this and needed to go scream for a bit. thank you so much, i really am glad you liked the fic 💛 i just thought of the jurda petals and bright colors and jesper and thought oh, he's grown up around so many colors and now he calls it fashion -- this fic was truly a trip to write, and in all of it, i only deleted one scene: a conversation between jesper and colm. here it is, just for you :)

"It might take years for the tree to blossom," Jesper frowned. Colm only shrugged, weary, but never too weary for him. "We tried for years to have a child." He reached out, his hand moving to cup Jesper's cheek, stopping just before fear became touch. "You were worth every wait." Jesper felt his chest fill, with more than just breath. Hollow spaces he didn't know he still carried. "You never told me." "I couldn't speak to you like your Ma could," Colm turned his hat around in his hand. An act lost in translation. "I didn't know how." "I didn't need you to be her," Jesper shook his head. How much time had they wasted? How much more did they have to lose? "Da," he swallowed down all his regret, all his bitterness. His mother had given him a blessing as his inheritance, but hadn't his father gifted him a birthright too? This heirloom of sacrifice, Kaelish seas traded for Zemeni skies, traded for Kerch colors. "Da," Jesper said. "I needed you." No, that wasn't quite right. "I wanted you," he could still hear his father sing requiem, Kaelish words he'd never understand, "I wanted you to come home, too."

#asks #anon #fic: symphony no. 6 #six of crows #jesper fahey #this was deeply very kind of you to send #thank you 💕 #i just have a lot of feelings about the crows #and i'm really glad those feelings resonate with you too!
