"real" classical music?
what is that?
here's some stuff that i like alot:
performers:
steffan schleiermacher is a beautiful pianist who also benefits from working with great recording engineers. for the past few months, he has been my favorite pianist. the only recording of his that i have heard that i did not like is his terry riley keyboard studies.
mauirizio pollini. can't help myself.
garth knox--used to play viola with the arditti quartet. his solo recordings are out of this world.
elaine radigue---astonishing tape/synth music. dunno where you'd classify her.
pierre henry--musique concrete....la ville is just great.
pieces:
j.s. bach: goldberg variations (a particular weakness for glenn gould), sonatas and partitas for cello
john cage: sonatas for prepared piano (armejian and schleiermacher performances), for marcel duchamp...
morton subotnik: silver apples of the moon
stockhausen: klavierstucke i-xi
