Post Subject: The same music?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/23/2009

I do not think it has anything do with “Large Scale Works” but rather with a normal apathy play of BSO. I put a clip, it is a regular 44/16 – anybody can play it on PS - with a fragment of today BSO play and a fragment of how it might be. This fragment is my absolutely the most favorite part of Beethoven IX. It is not about the difference in tempos, both of tempos are fine. The BSO, the first fragment, they render notes but each next phase is the same as the previous one, pitch and amplitude are a different but the intend of expressionism is always the same – the homogeneous blending. The second fragment is like a different music. The sound divided upon zillion layers and each layer fights but at the same time complements each other. Each instrumental section has own very distinctive voice and they deliver the punches then at very right time and in very diverse fashion, enriching the whole musical palette with each strike. There is no single boring note in the second fragment and each note pumps up drama in own way, the orchestra is almost like a boiling soup, where bubbles of musical metaphors are popping up and exploding…. It is even hard to think about the first and second fragments as the same music. Ah, I forget to mention that the first fragment was played by the Orchestra that has the most highly played musicians in Unites States.
