    90% of this ng would run crying to their mothers after a rehearsal with Toscanini ;D

    It's actually funny that people's feelings are hurt by the truth...

    Today: Men who identify as women are hurt when you tell them that they aren't women... Crazy times...

    What I respect about Jews (judging from my experience) is that they don't seem to be hurt that easily - generally speaking. Non-Jews probably wouldn't last a day in the shoes of a Jew.

    Nietzsche:

    "The whole problem of the Jews exists only in nation states, for here their energy and higher intelligence, their accumulated capital of spirit and will, gathered from generation to generation through a long schooling in suffering, must become so
    preponderant as to arouse mass envy and hatred. In almost all contemporary nations, therefore – in direct proportion to the degree to which they act up nationalistically – the literary obscenity of leading the Jews to slaughter as scapegoats of every
    conceivable public and internal misfortune is spreading."

    Listen to the Münchner Philharmoniker and Celibidache for piano! piano!

    Just to avoid any misunderstanding:

    I do not like his attitude with the orchestra, nor the the music in the end - but, I can see his passion and honesty, and I value things like this. He seems to have an idea in his head and wants to get it across.

    To make good music means to work, it is a struggle, frustration is humane. If I as a musician would value the music of Toscanini, then I would bear this. He should be free to express himself, and he was not in any way completely out of line as far as I
    can tell (besides being too loud). Sure there are nicer ways to speak to people, but trying to make it into a law that one should always treat musicians with a soft voice and cuddle them as a conductor is just pure bullshit - and that's what we mostly
    have today.

    What we miss today are "visionaries", and it is normal for an artist to become frustated when things don't work out as they have them in their heads. This is part of art. One can't just eradicate this from the realm of art, because of political-
    correctness and tell artists to behave in a certain way. Now I am not saying everything is allowed obviously... but the Toscanini video is not too shocking to me...

    Nope. We do not miss visionaries at all.
    We just ignore them and disparage them.

    One needs to look no farther than this ng,
    e.g. seeing how most of this audience
    treated HJ Lim, Kyuhee Park Or Tomomi
    Nishimoto.

    I would also never describe Toscanini as
    a "visionary". He was a pedantic military
    band conductor, a strict literalist driven
    by a metronome, utterly incapable of
    the slightest trace of expression.

    Case closed.

    Says the one who loves Celibidache... Do you ignore and disparage him too?

    I think what I mean with visionaries were people with their own vision about works. (I should have never used this term, as it is meaningless the way I used it.)

    I think calling Celibidache (even Pletnev though I don't like him) a visionary would be appropriate. So I again don't get where you are going...

    Yes, I agree with your description about his music. And I should have not used "visionary" in this context.

    What I was more on about is, that music is not just about fun, dan - and I would love some more strictness in teaching back ;) You really need to grow up one day. And this is precisely why we don't need more of HJ Lim type pianists.

    I should have not said that "you really need to grow up one day". You are grown up enough... but hmmm... nevermind. We just view things differently in this regard. You are too much against any kind of intellectual approach (as in thinking too much about)
    to music is what I mean i think...

    To make things sound naturally, there has to be thought put into it... Celibidache's approach (even though I don't agree with his philosophy etc) is intellectual... He deeply thought about the score and what to do with it. They worked their asses off to
    make it sound the way it does. And the thing is, you know this. Yet you ignore it, when saying such nonsense as "we need no visionaries", while loving Celibidache (who is nearer to Furtwängler-Richter-style than HJ Lim is to Richter-Furtwängler-style
    imo). Richter, Furtwängler and Celibidache are completely different from each other, but HJ Lim "does not deserve to be named among them". Sokolov "does have more right". Anyway, enjoy HJ Lim ;) I just don't understand it. And usually I enjoy your recs.

    This is completely disgusting, and proves
    my points exactly. Sviatoslav Richter plays
    a WTC that sounds from beginning to end
    as a collection of short funeral marches,
    and people call him a genius for this (I
    did this too when I was younger, which
    indeed proves I grew up). HJ Lim plays
    a WTC that is full of imaginatio, color,
    touch, texture and expression, and
    pompous gasbags like you, Herman,
    Melmoth and others disparage her.

    You proved my points exactly.

    Dan, no reason to be picky about the word I used, it is very easy to see what point I was making here.

    Yeah right... just like the antisemites on this ng think they are fine the way they are...

    Dan, you are pretty much insane for wanting or having wanted a mandatory vaccination (maybe you should move to China?) amongst other stuff.

    I think that you have some serious mental issues (but this seems to be the norm on this ng), but I acknowledge that you ahve a funny and charming side.

    But I can't deal with your idiocy anymore tbh ;D

    My dear brainwashed friend, calm down for a second and just try to understand where I am coming from ;D

    Let me disparage her, just like you disparage other pianists. I don't like her palying, that doesn't make me disgusting, but if you think it does, that's fine.

    What makes you disgusting is that you want to force people to get vaccinated... think about that for a second, will ya? You are pretty much fucked in your head for wanting things like this.

    There is no reason (in the context of covid) to vaccinate children (and even many adults). It's fucking insane that a paranoid guy like you wants to decide about the vaccination of other people's children... how about you let the parents decide for
    themselves what's best for their children in regards to covid?

    You are fucking insane. And in hindsight I am not sure anymore if you are in any way charming or funny or just completely fucked in the head.

    The only thing that adds up is that you are unable to admit that you are paranoid about covid (and other stuff) and that the policies you promoted were inhumane. You can't even engage rationally in this discussion.

    You are a brainfucked imbecile.

    I should add: That in general it's unreasonable to expect paranoid guys (like you) to be receptive for reason (as in: realizing how paranoid they are). Similarly to how you can't reason with the antisemites on this board. But it's worth a try nonetheless
    - I think it is humane to do so. Nevertheless, in the end, one has to look reality in the eye: You can't be reasoned with.
