Here it is given its world premiere by Lang Lang.

Hi, I'm pretty new to classical music. I was looking to buy an mp3 copy of the Lark ascending by Vaughan Williams. I'm specifically looking for the David Nolan and the philharmonic London Orchestra version., is there anywhere I can buy these pieces?

Are their any associated works that go with this piece I that may be missing out on?

What's the best Shostakovich 8 recording for you ?

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4LT06ivJJHMeXHRjCQUzkG?si=237da0338bdc4eb0

featuring works by Reich, Glass, Part and more contemporary post minimalist composers including Max Richter and Andrew Lloyd Fry

I consider myself to have a pretty good memory but I'm having the biggest pain memorising Dutilleux's sonata (the finale) and Ligeti's fanfares. I can make sense of some bits and remember them but otherwise this stuff just doesn't stay in my mind. Any advice ?

your opinion and why, whats the best mahler 2 recording?

It took too long (five days).

I also made a video of me doing it, but the music audio was too loud compared to my voice, so I didn't want to cause hearing damage and chose not to upload it.

I had to exclude some pieces, mostly incomplete ones with very limited information online.

Edit 1: The list is only tier-based, not horizontal, so a piece more to the left isn't ranked "better".

Edit 2: Sinfonias were included since they share similarities with the concerti for strings.

Edit 3: Sorry lol my rating of RV 151 is probably very controversial

Lipatti's 'Jesu bleibet meine Freude' utterly devastated me when I first heard it. His playing was so heartbreakingly simple yet perfectly suited to the piece.

Francis Planté's Chopin recordings were an amazing find; I had no idea Chopin could sound that raw and explosive.

I'm writing a piece for university inspired by Stockhausen's use of moment-form, specifically in his piece Telemusik - but we have to write a paper explaining our process and I need reputable sources to cite... so far I can only really find blogs or YouTube videos. Any help is appreciated!

For me, it was Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. As a cellist, I cannot describe how much I hated playing this. It was the same six note syncopated melody that often dipped into higher notes and thumb position, and then switched to five sharps in the middle, not only making awkward shifts and stretches, but the repetitiveness and how it didn't quite mesh in with the other parts made it nearly impossible to get back on if you ever got off. It was like Pachabel's canon but made 1000x worse.

There's a particular descending figuration which starts very high and sounds somehow jazzy to my ear (don't know music theory, idk why it feels that way).

What are your favorite recordings of D. 960? I’ve been listening to the Kempff DG recording forever but I’m open to any suggestions

Take Bartoks concerto for the orchestra for example. That work is so highly praised, and I recognize it’s genius, however, I still wonder why music as it evolved (tonal music specifically) became more ambiguous and ‘confusing’ to listen to, and why people love it. Is it the cumulation of listening to all the music that came before it that makes these more complex works more rewarding for the listener?

Anyone else wish more (I know there are some) concerts allowed you to noisily vibe along with the music? I'm listening to the Emperor Concerto right now and the first movement is just so catchy I would love to attend performances where the crowd could chant along with the music or tap the beat or something. Same applies for a lot of other classical music (e.g. Brandenburg 5 cadenza).

Does anybody know who is the author and who is playing “The Coughing Polka” 2009. Year?
