Prokofiev did such a good job of conveying cold aristocratic arrogance in the main theme of the Dance of the Knights, and quiet interpersonal discovery and growing feelings in the middle section. And the way the main theme comes back in slowly as a crescendo gradually picking up all former instruments at 4:40 is perfect for the overbearing nature of the Montagues and Capulets that intrude upon the quiet personal feelings of Romeo and Juliet.

That is because of the strong contrast of the high violins and deep bass horns im combination with the heavy drum sounds and the thunderous cymbals. Even the most ambitious guitarists can only visualize their emotions in the range their instrument can play. That is why some metal bands combine classical music and instruments with modern elements and styles.

@Igor_servant_of_Philemon 5 жыл бұрын

Also most modern bands don't really take the time it needs to create the right mood and build an Athmosphere. Therefore mostly the emotional ranges of the songs are minimal. A good example for a band taking its time to bring emotion across would be the german gothic band "subway to sally". On their CDs they are rather mediocre because of the record label wants the songs to be rather short to be more profitable, but if you see them life, they play lutes, bagpipes, violins etc and stretch the song to be twice as long as the studio version. Here is an example to one of their songs about a child that grows up in solitude without friends or a living family. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLd6jNp7sMjWnJs.html

Actually, John Williams kind of had to rip off a lot of classical music for the Star Wars soundtrack. George Lucas originally chose some specific classical songs for the soundtrack (I don’t remember which) because of Kubrick’s 2001, but later on he decided to have Williams compose it because he really liked the Jaws soundtrack. However, as the scenes were made with the classical soundtrack in mind, Williams had to compose similar sounding songs for the soundtrack.

If you look at documentaries or interviews with Valery Gergiev you find out that he is absolutelly normal person with passionate love for classical music, extreme lover. And that is probably what makes him being and acting "weird" or "crazy" when conducting. Maybe the music makes him to be hundreds of other personalities. And I believe it is okay. It´s him, specific for him, and he is Gergiev. Greates and even more great than greatest conductors world have now. No matter if he combs his hair before a concert or conducts with a toothpick in his mouth....It is simply him.

@basho4306 5 жыл бұрын

I was so surprised and the luckiest person on earth when I realised that I was once in a concert with him as a conductor😊obviously it was great. FUN FACT: He was so enthusiastic (it was partly a piano concert and partly the 5th symphony of Beethoven) that you heard him breathing and jumping on the wooden floor all the time. (Wasn't annoying. And to be fair ... I was right in front of him)
