Distel32 Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Anyone else here appreciate old classical records? Prefer Rachmaninoff #2 or #3? and who's a better pianist van cliburn or van cliburn? I know I'm a nerd, but I acknowledge good music Quote
fleblebleb Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Classical music and Chinese water torture definitely go hand in hand, methinks. Can't abide the one, can't abide the other. Quote

I'd have to say glen gould. Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 i mean there's a hell of a lot of good pianists right? and could i really tell the diff between gould or ax or cliburn in terms of technical expertise? maybe, but it is true that all the gould ive heard blows me away, except he plays bach way too fast, so i end up being blown away by his technicality instead of bach's music. hmmm. there was a french guy i heard playing some chopin pieces once, some of his slow moody stuff, and the french guy wasn't that good technically, but there was something about the way he played that affected me more than any technical pianist ever has. sorry i dont have his name, but shit he ripped it up man. erik satie is pretty interesting as a composer and pianist....
