Pura degustación. Este es el rollo que transmite madre Razz con la primera edición del Grand Tour Estrella Damm, una paseo en moto por el viejo continente haciendo repostaje y comprando souvenirs en las grandes mentes musicales de cada país. Todo empieza el Jueves 18 con Bélgica, y con mucha tela porque durante 7 horacas [...]
Violinist Keats Dieffenbach, tasked with introducing Sunday night's concert, called the theme of Ensemble ACJW's program "composers reworking old materials." We have a word for that in modern pop parlance: remixes. True, it's gone by a variety of names throughout music history: parody mass, cover song, remix, arrangement. Yet these compositions were not just reworkings of old materials. The transcriptions, parlor song quotations, and even a Girl Talk-esque mashup of 18th century symphonies seemed to represent a variety of compositional exercises - or better yet, compositional games - that each composer fancifully undertook. There was, therefore, a certain unity to [...]
"We weren't sure if we should say anything about applauding in between pieces," admitted singer Gabriel Kahane during Saturday's latest installment of the Kaufman Center's Ecstatic Music Festival. "We hate the downtown thing," added pianist Timo Andres, perhaps referring to the self-consciously artsy practice of holding all applause until the very end of a concert. The audience laughed at their light banter and proceeded to applaud after every piece for the rest of the night. In a room set up for classical music, Kahane and Andres presented a program of songs and piano works that was enjoyably loose and carefree, [...]

Jethro Tull : Bouree [ purchase ] One approach to this week's theme is to find traditional songs. I've done that already, and I will again later this week. But most classical music is also in the public domain. And that brings me to Bach. I would say that Bach perfected the art of the fugue. If you've ever sung a round, you have an idea what this is. In a fugue, one instrument starts the melody, and the next starts it later, and then the next, and so on. The [...]

J.S. Bach published his collected Partitas in 1731. He was 46 years old and had been the cantor at Leipzig's Thomaskirche for eight years. He had already composed two of the most important choral works; the St. Matthew and St. John passions. Bach probably attached significance to keyboard works by publishing them as his Opus #1, and they've come to be appreciated as the pinnacle of a form that was soon to fall out of fashion, in favor of other frameworks such as the sonata. In late August ECM New Series put out a live recording of the [...]
Andrew W.K. fucking loves him some Bach. The Post-Rockist is a rabid supporter of public radio, and it's not just because it provides us an excuse to ponder the imponderable, like whether or not Carl Kasell could take Garrison Keillor in a cage match. NPR's music coverage has been slagged off in the past for catering [...]
Rather than the usual aural assault, this morning I decided to tune my radio to 89.9 FM (WKCR here in NYC), who are celebrating the life of Johann Sebastian Bach all week during their annual "Bach Fest." And it hit me: this man may single-handedly be responsible for heavy metal, having composed the blackest of [...]
Kidnapped Friday's Child If you were to open a music box, expecting to find a ballerina spinning to Mozart or Bach, but instead found the Beach Boys, tripping and playing the entirety of Pet Sounds, then that would be what The Rollo Treadway sounds like—but darker. Their first album, The Rollo Treadway, switches it up between the American West Coast '60s sound of the Beach Boys and the English Psychedelic '60s sound of the Strawberry Alarm Clock. In this case, however, the overuse of layered harmonies and intricate compositions comes [...]
was das zerpflücken "klassischer" musikwerke betrifft, bin ich zwiegespalten. nach längerem kopfinternem hin und her habe ich mich nun doch entschieden, hier das eine oder andere stück - oder: den einen oder anderen ausschnitt - der geneigten leser- und hörerschaft vorzustellen. (eben habe ich versucht, kurz biographisch zu begründen, weshalb mir gerade bach und seine musik so am herzen liegen. aber es wurde schwülstig und verquast, also habe ich es lieber gelöscht.) das folgende stück ist der johannes-passion entnommen, dem bachschen werk, mit dem ich aufgrund von abituriellen gegebenheiten am besten vertraut bin und das mir [...]
