| I have been wondering about something lately. Many decades ago I discovered the recordings of Isao Tomita and his pretty "special" electronic interpretations of classical works. For me it was a fascinating gateway into composers like Debussy, Mussorgski and others. But I honestly have no idea how those recordings are viewed TODAY, especially in the classical world. Do younger classical musicians even know his work anymore? And if they do, how are those synth adaptations generally perceived today? Some seem to love the imagination and sometimes pretty crazy sound design behind them, while others see them as almost blasphemous reinterpretations of classical music. I’m genuinely curious where the general feeling stands today... [link] [comments] |
