Here is another gem, completely beyond
ABM's musical capabilities and imagination:

https://youtu.be/4LCQUS1Yun0?t=216

At the end of the day, ABM was a perfect
soulless pianistic machine. Nothing more,
nothing less, and nothing else. No emotion,
no imagination, everything in the score, and
nothing beyond the score.

This is a ridiculous recommendation. There is

There is also near consensus the May 1969 Helsinki

Do you really believe this was a rec? I think he was trying to mock you...

Sometimes Dan, your situational awareness is lacking "Does anyone imagine blablabla..." this really justifies Melmoth's mockery ;D

Michelangeli is still untopped in
-Schumann PC (with Scherchen),
-Mozart PC 20 (early recording with Giulini - though I wouldn't want to own it, since it doesn't satisfy for many reasons, but it's still the best I heard)
-Mozart PC 13 Giulini (wouldn't want to own either)
-Bach-Busoni Chaconne (Fuck Pletnev, Fuck Osetinskaya, Fuck Grimaud, fuck whatever else you had posted, they all pale in comparison - but fuck this version in general, I prefer Bach's played by Szeryng)
-and he also is not topped in some Brahms stuff I think (but I would have to relisten).
-and, I almost forgot it, he is also not topped in KV 493; I think in some parts lack a bit of fire , but it's still the best I heard.

In his other repertoire I am not really interested... but from I heard he seems to be among the top there as well. Not my favorite pianist anymore though - will depend on my reevaluation of his Brahms.

I'm only interested in Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schoenberg and Webern for the most part I guess...

Pletnev sucks with Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. Maybe he is good with Rachmaninov or Scarlatti or Debussy, I don't fucking care, because they all fucking suck.

I wish everyone a good sleep!

Before I finally go to sleep, I have to correct myself again, having thought about it a bit more: I rate Webern much higher than Schumann! And for now I will continue to listen to him, I appreciate some of his stuff really much. Just not sure if I
consider him as good as Schoenberg and my other favorites... time will tell.

I don't like Schumann's musical personality at all... I have similar feelings with Tchaikovsky and Mahler and also Rachmaninov.

Matter of taste

-Schumann PC (with Scherchen),

Probably, though I like others as much, if not better.

-Mozart PC 20 (early recording with Giulini - though
I wouldn't want to own it, since it doesn't satisfy for
many reasons, but it's still the best I heard)

Picky, picky. Plenty of other choices.

-Mozart PC 13 Giulini (wouldn't want to own either)

The work does not interest me at all.
I only listen to K.453 and higher.

-Bach-Busoni Chaconne (Fuck Pletnev, Fuck Osetinskaya,
Fuck Grimaud, fuck whatever else you had posted, they
all pale in comparison - but fuck this version in general,

I enjoy different readings for different
reasons. ABM's is way too monumental
(for lack of a better term) for my current
ears. As you know I change ears twice a
year!

I prefer Bach's played by Szeryng)

Different kettle of fish.

-and he also is not topped in some Brahms
stuff I think (but I would have to relisten).

The Paganini Variations are good, the Ballades
op. 10 are way too siff for my taste.

-and, I almost forgot it, he is also not topped in
KV 493; I think in some parts lack a bit of fire,
but it's still the best I heard.

Not a work I am interested in. KV 478 is a
different matter.

In his other repertoire I am not really interested...
but from I heard he seems to be among the top
there as well. Not my favorite pianist anymore
though - will depend on my reevaluation of his
Brahms.

Please send us a postcard when you are done.

I'm only interested in Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,
Brahms, Schoenberg and Webern for the most

Hhmmm..... Austro-Germanic music and nothing
else? This kind of diet is not healthy. You really
need to start listening to French, Italian, Spanish
and Latin American music.

Pletnev sucks with Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven

they all fucking suck.

Many pianists would kill in order to suck half as
much as Pletnev.

Osetinskaya? ;) Of the ones I heard, nobody comes close (Schumann PC). Late Michelangeli with Celibidache is also very bad imo.

Picky, picky. Plenty of other choices.

Not really, only Schnabel and E. Fischer come to mind (KV 466). I especially despise the style of YES (thanks Arie Vardi) or the like... it's just nothing.

The work does not interest me at all.
I only listen to K.453 and higher.

It doesn't interest me much as well, it doesn't hold up against Mozart's later works, but I would still prefer it over anything Chopin ever wrote.

I enjoy different readings for different
reasons. ABM's is way too monumental
(for lack of a better term) for my current
ears. As you know I change ears twice a
year!

I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that it does sound monumental, it doesn't fit with my understanding of Bach's original score which I think is of more intimate character - this is precisely the reason, why I don't like Busoni's
transcription; but compared to the original, the transcription seems of monumental character, and imo Pletnev doesn't do justice to this and it just doesn't really work.

BWV 582 otoh seems to be of monumental character, and Zhukov's transcription does seem to serve this idea (imo).

The Paganini Variations are good, the Ballades
op. 10 are way too siff for my taste.

I think you are right about this, I remember this similary. But I don't care too much for the Paganini Variations...

Not a work I am interested in. KV 478 is a
different matter.

I agree and the only version is Schnabel's. I am not too interested in KV 493 as well, but Michelangeli's account is still the best I heard.

Hhmmm..... Austro-Germanic music and nothing
else? This kind of diet is not healthy. You really
need to start listening to French, Italian, Spanish
and Latin American music.

I have listened to enough other music, I have wasted enough time with shitty music. Austro-German music resonates the most with me (Thomas Mann was talking about "Innerlichkeit" in regards to Austro-German music, maybe it's this)... I really can't
explain why.

Debussy is too watery, as Szymanowski said about Debussy: it feels like you are under water or something when you listen to his music (sth along these lines). Etc etc... I just don't like the other composers as much.

Many pianists would kill in order to suck half as
much as Pletnev.

I'd like to have his technique, but he just doesn't do justice to the scores of the Austro-Germanic repertoire imo. I also really despise how he very often only barely touches the keys in long passages (like in Bach Partita 6 or Mozart KV 491 etc.), it's
crazy technique, but it really sucks to listen to - he does it too often and for too long imo,

I agree, much better than Michelangeli and the others. In the end, Michelangeli is no more one of my favorite pianists.

For now my favorite pianists are: Schnabel, Rubinstein, Richter, Gilels, Neuhaus, Cziffra, Horowitz, probably Sokolov and Volodos as well. (depends a lot on the repertoire - I respect Sofronitsky highly, but I just don't like the music much that he

recorded, and his Mozart and Beethoven hmmm, not so good... certainly no Schnabel). I also still need to listen to more pianists in Schoenberg and Webern.

Oh and Gelber because of his Brahms PC 1.

I don't know, maybe. Others would maybe value in the quantity of "reference" recordings when thinking about favorite pianists, I don't.

He doesn't need to explain, he can enjoy Arrau all he likes, just as you can enjoy Pletnev all you like (although I'd probably rather have the technique of pletnev)...

And I think I shouldn't have mentioned Ryumina with Argerich... thinking about it, her Kreisleriana probably would be easily beat by others if I compared again.

Argerich is the only female pianist I can think of that would come into consideration when deciding for a record outside of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms-repertoire.

I don't really like her in Mozart, except maybe with Szymon Goldberg in 503 - maybe I should relisten. But no, thinking about it, Michelangeli (even though the orchestra is not really good) is much better in 503.

Dan, I don't understand how once you could recommend me YES in 466 if your reference is Schnabel...

Pretty sure it's the record I have in mind, I have listened to it about 1-2 years ago... and I think it is not good. I'm gonna feel stupid if I'm wrong, but I was immediately reminded. Maybe I should hear the piano ;D

It is not worth listening to after one has heard Schnabel. Too often you really are an idiot.

Really surprising since LvB PCs 1 and 2 are
staples of her repertoire. Her recordings of
the two are among the finest, arguably the
best post-Schnabel performanced of these
works. I prefer the earlier recordings with
the London Sinfonietta to the later ones
with Abbado, Ozawa or Sinopoli.

I liked her in LvB PC2 actually a few years ago, but never _really_. You might be right about this though, that she is the best post Schnabel in these two... I'm trying to think of another one....

I just don't listen to LvB PCs much tbh... I only like 4 and maybe 3. I should relisten to 2 with Schnabel probably, but 1 and 5 are not to my taste. And I'm also not sure if I would rate them as high as Bach's, Mozart's or Brahms'. I think not.

yes 5 is way too much. And 3 I really haven't heard it in a quite a while... but I think it's still better than the others probably (would have to relisten to 2). But like I said, not too interested. I think Beethoven is better with Symphonies, quartets,

Maybe it is because I have never saturated my listening with LvBs pcs is still he reason I find them relatively fresh. Saint Saens' concertos are fun, but not on the same level as LvBs. Many works of LvBs period, and especially LvBs, were miracles of
their time, whereby many people were lucky to have even heard them once. I just happen to think that something happens when you know them backwards. This applies to a lot of music, and why I try and encompass a much wider repertoire of interest.

I wouldn't doubt that they both have good readings in no.2, but I would doubt they come close to young Sokolov's (that I know from you).

Thanks for your time in linking the stuff etc, but it's not just the pianists, it's the repertoire that I am not interested in.

I'm interested in Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schoenberg - still undecided about Schubert and Webern. Remember: Austro-Germanic Repertoire. Baruch Hashem ;D

In economics, that's called diminishing marginal utility. The more you have of something, the less each additional unit is valued. Of course, everyone's rate of diminishing utility is different.

No. This has nothing whatsoever to do with economics, and has nothing to do with music as a possession. I can possess as much music as time will allow, as is the case for nearly all here. I am referring to the "quality" of a resource being undervalued as
a result of saturation or over-indulgence. Economics will never account for the quality of anything, except in terms of "more things are better or not better than less things".

In physics, energy copes with my meaning much better. It comes down to a question of entropy, and the usefulness of energy. Entropy has nothing to do with simply an amount of something, but much more to do with availability, usefulness, and the quality
of that energy.

I think many do actually, if not in particular theory, and maybe it is better put another way. I enjoy a wide variety of music, mostly very late 19th century up to the present, Bach being a standout exception, especially his cantatas. I wear easily of a
piece if I over-saturate on it. There are a few exceptions, as there always is. I think LvB was a great composer, one of the greatest, for form especially, and was particularly of his time, and in his late works for more than that. But form and greatness
doesn't necessarily transfer to listening pleasure especially if overindulged. I even tire at times of Sibelius. Music is precious, and for me this means limiting my exposure, even to pieces I greatly love.

Hence I travel widely in the music repertoire, in order to keep the music I treasure much fresher. I need the wow factor a lot more than maybe many others.

No. You have described the principle of diminishing marginal utility perfectly. There can more than one way of looking at things, both of which are right.

I don't know physics well. But I know it is an attempt to describe physical phenomena. Economics tries to describe human behavior, specifically choice.

There is no reason for us to be arguing about this.

economists. ;-)

Physics appears to be so far

Seems to be the case for some physicsts as well... remember: Einstein running to Hilbert ;)

Also: Hilbert about the Mathematical Institute after the Nazis came to power:

About a year later, Hilbert attended a banquet and was seated next to the new Minister of Education, Bernhard Rust. Rust asked whether "the Mathematical Institute really suffered so much because of the departure of the Jews". Hilbert replied, "Suffered?
It doesn't exist any longer, does it!"

It's an older science? It's an easier subject? Physicists are deluded into thinking they are more successful than economists because the understand economics less than economists understand phsysics? I could go on.

Economists understand economics? Untrue. They always make wrong predictions ;)

It seems they don't have any clue what they are doing (compared to Marx ;) ), after crises they offer 1000 different explanations of why something has happened... This alone shows that are completely clueless, because if 1 of these 1000 different
explanations was right in the first place, there wouldn't be a need for 1000 different explanations ;D

Don't bother, just check this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

Most amazing applied physics and engineering
project in history. From back of the envelope
computations to a perfectly working system
in less than 4 years.

Even if it is what you say, it could just be easier to bring of than some miraculous economic event. I will say that I suspect that most physicists, most of the time, are open to new developments in the field, which I'm not sure I can say about many
economists. When the chairman of the Federal Reserve can says, in 2022, that we don't understand a lot about inflation, when in fact, we understand everything about it, and have for more than 50 years is disheartening.

Known as Oak Ridge, Tn, enrichment facility. The first bomb was Trinity, and was friendly. Oppenheimer and General Groves. Makes a good read.
