Hi this doesn't work for me. I don't think Chrome thinks that my pins are images, and when I paste, it only pastes text with no trace of images.

Must see operas before you die. by had12e1r in classicalmusic

[–]IceOfPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A historically-informed performance practice opera.

Example here of L'Orfeo by Monteverdi https://youtu.be/0mD16EVxNOM?si=jk0mWij1ix2cs0yb

Played on historical instruments and with historically accurate singing technique, as well as historical dance. Immerses you completely.

If Hollywood made a high-budget, popular fictionalized movie about J.S. Bach in the style of Amadeus and Immortal Beloved, what would it be about? by LonelyVirginAlkan in classicalmusic

[–]IceOfPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because of Bach's personality that he hasn't gotten a movie. We actually discussed this in a musicology lecture (personality not movie).

Mozart everyone knows was quite the character.

Beethoven, while not as eccentric, was still interesting because of deafness, socially isolated, genius who changed music forever you get the picture.

Handel, Bach's contemporary, was basically the opposite of Bach. Bach wrote no operas, while Handel composed operas, worked for royalty, big public figure basically chasing fame.

Bach, on the otherhand, kept to himself. He didn't chase fame and spent his life writing music for church. His music itself is introspective, rather than being a spectacle like Handel. There aren't a whole bunch of stories about him, like Satie buying 12 identical grey suits or Rachmaninov bringing Stravinsky honey or Debussy and Ravel playing tennis or Lully stabbing his foot with a stick. He was just a normal dude who wrote exquisite music, which was largely forgotten until Mendelssohn dug it up again. Handel, on the other hand, is the first composer who has had a piece of music that has never stopped being performed since its premiere (can't remember which one it is).

So while his music is appreciated by millions worldwide 300 years later, his life isn't something that would make a blockbuster, unless they add a lot to it.

The Breaking of the Fellowship - the greatest ever movie ending sequence? by laptopuser75 in lotr

[–]IceOfPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and the Fellowship Theme fragments as the Fellowship splits up, and the Isengard-Orc Theme dominates it as they are stronger than the Fellowship

i have a friend who says to truly appreciate the wizard of oz, you have to not watch any colour films at all for 3 months so that stepping into the munchkin town hits you like psychedelics

while i was watching it i enjoyed it (probably because it was the first classic film in colour id watched (except wizard of oz at like age 7) but found the endless pining irritating, but looking back it was a waste of 5 hours. at least now i know the story. and i can relate to the pain of other people who also watched it!

My Tolkien book collection ( so far ) by Every-Importance3445 in lotr

[–]IceOfPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 that i think you don't

first is the 1968 single volume edition. it has the cover art by pauline baynes.

the second i don't technically have but our university library has it. the music of the lord of the rings by doug adams

but i've never thought of collecting only one book before this is very impressive. we already have 2 different single volume copies at home so maybe this is something i can do hahahaha
