*Classical Composers: The Best

[pilchardman]

Appeals to the petit-bourgseoise.

Not what I meant. I'm not a snob: I'll happily listen to Classic FM if I'm in the mood.

 

[montevideo]

as much as schoenberg. Posh kids only music?

monty's got a photo of himself using a powertool on the web if you like...he posted it up himself....working man etc

 

[pilchardman]

I've got a sneaking regard for Ernst Busch, the official 'liar' for East Germany - is this classical?

Yeah the term Classical only really applies to a very short era in orchestral music. Most of what's recommended on this thread isn't strictly "classical". Which is why I said "for want of a better term" further up the thread. But, yeah, Busch counts.

Do you like Copeland?

 

[butchersapron]

I don't think anyone is are they?

Or was that a public service job?

 

[pilchardman]

Ooh. That was "atonal my arse" a minute ago.

I like Schoenberg. Does that make me posh?

 

[ernestolynch]

FFS - all I want is some education in classical music...you nerks have to end up arguing about makhno's pants and that.

by classical i mean fiddles and cellos and trombones and that.

wanna know some wolfe tones just ask - diff thread tho

 

[pilchardman]

Is what?

Is this all getting a bit disjointed? I sometimes get that, so it might just be me...

I might, but sly could've been better (crap stallone joke over) - don't know because i've not heard anything by him, or even of him...

i was once offered a job by steve martland to be his assistant.

 

[butchersapron]

John Cage - bit of space to think and that...

 

[butchersapron]

Didn't he use to be on factory for a bit?

it was, but i changed it cos it sounded like i was having a go at you rather they our upwardly mobile petit-bourgesoise social climber.

 

[pilchardman]

Well, there's the ting. Classical music ended with Beethoven. After that you're into "Modern" (Wagner etc).

Petit bourgeoise? I don't hold that in the disdain you seem to.

But it doesn't describe me.

expand.............if you dare.............(got that pic of you using a 'power tool' labelled 'genuine northern working class man' handy - like you showed me last week?)

okay i have been educated some. still though you know what i and the hoi-polloi mean, do you?

 

[pilchardman]

Fanfare For The Common Man. You'll gave heard it, it's played all over. He was an American socialist, but his work has been appropriated by others.

I only mention him because he reminds me of Bosch.

 

[pilchardman]

You don't need the "the" if you use "hoi"...

 

[butchersapron]

Yep, know it very well - mainly from sport stuff (which you'll not like).

Got Busch and his stalinst shit playing now - and i think it's great..

 

[ernestolynch]

this is what we are up against..........

soggy biscuits and that

 

[pilchardman]

Might watch it more if they play Copeland. I thought it was all Eye of The Tiger...

 

[ernestolynch]

i knew i should have done this thread in general - too many brainiacs here...

 

[pilchardman]

Ernie. What have you downloaded so far? And what have you liked/not liked?

despite the thick veneer, bloated caricature & political shadow-boxing you are from the petit-bourgesoise. And despite the education, job & ever fragrant.. it's something you can't quite manage to lose. Just a thought like.

 

[butchersapron]

Philip Glass?

They wish...
