I cannot thank you enough for these recommendations. Love classical music but don't venture much outside Bach these days. I miss going to see concerts dearly. Glad you love Yuja too, feel like she gets so much bizarre hate from the Classical Is Honorable and Proud crowd.
Totally agreed. There's a youth club thing for my local orchestra but it's full of a) people who just want video game/movie scores or b) people who want to be pretentious about how Classical is the Only Music and Hip Hop needs to Die. It sucks. I wish more of us loved classical music alongside other genres. It's just good music!
Love Adorno but his opinions on music (and specifically jazz) are uuuhhhhhhh Not Good.
Also agree. I think a lot of it comes down to repetitions of leitmotifs and instrumentation building on itself. Classical music proper (even for leitmotif heavy composers like Wagner) has a lot less "oh remember this sound!" Likewise, it's also OK with having quiet moments, whereas soundtracks are always Loud.
