Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony
by Room 508

When I was young and foolish I bought the Haitink box set of Tchaikovsky's symphonies because it was cheap and complete, and it fed me a moderate, Western European Tchaikovsky. Older, bolder, emerging as if from a deep sleep, I sought out Mravisnky's Leningrad Philharmonic recordings from the 1960s and they blew my tiny mind. Not only does he take the great 5th and 6th symphonies at speed, but with a sense of acceleration, maintaining meticulous articulation and phrasing even as the tension is being ratcheted up (something he, and no one else, also achieves in the third movement death march of Shostakovich's 8th symphony). In Tchaikovsky's 6th, Mravisnky brings out the delicacy in the second movement's unsettling, lurching waltz, and the nervous energy of the third movement's march, before downloading the devastation of the final movement all over your face. There are two recordings, an earlier mono and a later stereo recreation, and I'd probably pick [pens down, please]

Hi folks, it feels so nice to be part of this group. I go to university and have a master degree on business but that couldn't help me from being a music freak completely. I'm into post-punk, progressive rock, new wave, classical, art rock mostly but i only have my post-punk, new wave archive scrobbled. I love being part of music when i'm listening.. Music should be taken serious..

My favorite artists are Wire, Simple Minds, Sparks, Magazine, Marquis de Sade, The Stranglers, Minutemen, Swell Maps, The Pop Group, Psychedelic Furs, The Pretenders, MX-80 Sound, Television Personalities, Televison,The Flying Lizards, Brian Eno, John Cale, Lou Reed, Peter Hammill etc...

Cheers..

Welcome from me too. I have many questions, including: are you a man or a woo-man? Where are you from?

what's up everyone
the very first thing i'm gonna do here is drop some bombs; i used to be a part of this group some time ago under the nick of gouji (*GASPS*). i think i could've gotten in without applying but chopping block is just so exhilarating.

anyways, a while back i re-discovered my love for black metal and i think it shows in my charts. sadly that kind of stuff seems to be very underrepresented in this group.

Most black metal is pretty terrible, but when it's good it's usually really fucking good. Looking forward to the new Velvet Cacoon and Blut aus Nord albums?

Hey, I'm Greg. I'm a senior in high school from Baltimore, Maryland. Favorite artists are probably The Replacements, The Meat Puppets, and Guided By Voices, and a lot of post-punk, though I listen to a fair amount of jazz too.

oh word

Yeah man, one of the weirdest kids shows I remember from the mid-90s, although I didn't pick up on all the innuendos and such when I watched it then.
