As a brass player and a composer of a number of brass pieces, I'm crushed, Garrett

Anyway, as I recover from that shocking revelation, I really hate hearing an accordion in any serious Classical piece

Try the half dozen or so songs Duparc orchestrated. Very tasty.

And don't miss Canteloube's "Songs of the Auvergne"

I like RebLem's Mahler 2nd & Moussorgsky & to that I'd add the finale of Sibelius' 2nd, the opening of Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra and the finale of Respighi's Pines of Rome.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mLF6T8ZFL._SL500_AA300_.jpg This is excellent Rachmaninoff, standing up well next to Ormandy & Reiner. I would agree with that as a general statement about Previn, for I have his Telarc recording of Rach #2 (uncut version) and along with Ormandy's (cuts) I lo...

From the 1920's to today: Schoenberg

johnQpublic

I just can't buy into the premise that unless you create a decent body of work you can't be among the great even if your talent is great. I remember a fellow composition student who composed every day but produced only one work by the end of the school year. When I heard a performance of it, I was k...

Tchaikovsky - Festival Overture on the Danish National Anthem (Simon/Chandos)
Shostakovich - String Quartet #12 (Eder/Naxos)
Gubaidulina - Concordanza (Lazarev/Vox)

Well, if that's (the Russian Requiem excerpt) typical of Auerbach, then I can safely pass on more of her. She makes Shostakovich seem highly modern and original.

I can imagine poor dulcinea now shaking her head and mumbling "WTF?"

johnQpublic

Well, not exactly. You're supposed to be attending to the sounds that are there, not making (intentionally) sounds yourself. There was a documentary film on Cage that I used excerpts in class from time to time. When an audience member in the film asked Cage what would he think if somone farted duri...
