stockhausen is such garbage that putting him in the OP kills the thread lol
What the fuck was his problem?
What's the opinion about Arrau here? I cannot grasp the concept of listening to Chopin's Nocturnes being not played by Arrau.
Too based for this world
Stockhausen/Maderna/Boulez
I don't know about anyone else, but he's one of my go-to pianists for Romantic repertoire.
Mozart

he's a bit overrated but music from the 7 days is so great
It has been said that Brahms' social manners were often characterized by a certain dryness. This was not the "Unknown" Brahms. Vienna knew his method of surrounding himself with a protective wall of stiffness as a defense against certain types of people, against the obtrusiveness of oily bombast, moist flattery, or honeyed impertinence. It is not unknown that those annoying bores, those sensationalists who were out for a good anecdote and those tactless intruders into private lives got little better than dryness. When the sluices of their eloquence were open and the flood threatened to engulf him, dryness was no protection. This is why he was often forced to resort to rudeness. Even so, his victims may have tacitly agreed to nickname what had befallen them "Brahmsian dryness"; and it may be assumed that each one rejoiced at the other's misfortune, but thought that he himself had been done wrong.
Dryness or rudeness, one thing is certain: Brahms did not want to express high esteem in this manner.
Contemporaries found various ways to annoy him. A musician or a music lover might intend to display his own great understanding, good judgment of music, and acquaintance with "some" of Brahms' music. Hence he dared say he had observed that Brahms' First Piano Sonata was very similar to Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata. No wonder that Brahms, in his straightforward manner, spoke out: "Das bemerkt ja schon jeder Esel." ("Every jackass notices that!").
A visitor meant to be complimentary when he said: "You are one of the greatest living composers." How Brahms hated this "one of." Who does not see that it means, "There are a few greater than you, and several of equivalent rank?"
What a bitch Brahms was
there's not a single noteworthy piece composed in this century and it's fascinating

If Mahler’s music were food, it would be tomato ice cream topped with anchovies and chocolate and chili peppers sprinkled with dry rub and served up on burnt pumpernickel.
i fucking love the allemande from French Suite no 2 so much i feel like im communicating with the divine intellect whenever i listen to it.
it mesmerizes me more than any other bach keyboard piece yet it isnt relatively contrapuntal like nearly all the rest of bach keyboard works i love excluding many of the goldberg variations
