I wasn't aware of Yakuza, out of the names you mentioned. I just listened to their records Way of the Dead and Samsara. The vocals are very energetic, hardcore punk-ish. Wasn't expecting the jazzy undertones as well. Great sense of melody at times. I also enjoy the playful, esoteric aesthetic, even if it might seem ridiculous to some. It's akin to the cliché gnosticism in J-RPGs in a sense. Definitely an interesting group.

The thing with Fado is that it falls more into the school of folkloric/traditional music than that of regular popular music, making it rather difficult to give recommendations in the regular commercial LP format. Amália Rodrigues is pretty much the most well known Fado artist of the recorded era, so that's a good starting point. Carlos do Carmo, Francisco José, Manuel Fernandes, Alfredo Marceneiro and António Rocha are other relevant names you might want to take a look at. I don't really recomend listening to modern Fado, as it seems to have become, like most folkloric music, more about a fetishized object of historical interest than about the actual artistic expression. There are still some beautiful old-fashioned Fado clubs in Portugal, though.

Listening to the music being performed live in a concert room with good acoustics is definitely preferable. I never gave much thought to Brahms' 2nd besides it sounding pretty and apollonian until I watched Alexander Liebreich conduct the piece live here in my local Symphonic Orchestra.

And yes, of course, I'm familiar with Yuja Wang, she's one of the most celebrated pianists of this generation (I'm a bit envious that you got to see her live twice, not going to lie). She's very flashy, as you have put it. I think she excels in pieces that demand virtuosic playing, but I personally prefer more lyrical musicians, such as Helene Grimaud. Her multiple recordings of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major are simply delightful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRTWLQ4nI6Q&ab_channel=pri038

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll definitely look up these bands and give them a try. I'm mostly a classical guy nowadays, so my taste in popular music needs some updating.

The labels you applied to Sinistro's music have got me wondering how it'd work out, as someone that listens to Fado and Portuguese music in general quite frequently.

This last band you linked, Endon, also surprised me, although in a different way, as I thought Noisecore was pretty much a dead genre. You're probably familiar with the japanese band Melt-Banana, their music is very nostalgic to me.

I'll also try and recommend some stuff you might not have listened to that might fit your taste. I'll try and have some diversity:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ytDenklb1E&ab_channel=EmilyBront%C3%AB (Honegger's 2nd Symphony - A very compact work of sorts, Karajan gives the orchestra a very clear sound in this rendition)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPu45WI60Gc&ab_channel=IrinaAleksandrova (One of my favourite pieces of traditional guitar music from my country interpreted by a rather unknown, although very impressive russian guitar player)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrWQndgX1QU&ab_channel=symbolkid (Bill Evans Trio - Emily. I'm not sure if this piece has been recorded other times. I've personally only listened to it through this YouTube video, but I think it achieves a perfect balance of harmony and rhytim that is very rare in Jazz.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6SP3oy8nZE&ab_channel=RosemaryVentura (Paulinho Nogueira - Moça Triste da Chuva. I'm not versed in music theory, so I won't be able to give it a coherent explanation, but the guitar phrasing and the string orchestra in this recording just fill me with a profound sense of longing. Very lovely, romantic piece)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J48cbIJAmrY&ab_channel=angelalangellotti (Coil - Ostia, I'm not even sure if this is good music, it's simply very aesthetically coherent. I know you're into avant-garde music, so you'll probably find something of value in it)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_dty1BEiAk&ab_channel=FightMalcovich (Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity, Very epic, pretentious [in a good way] metal piece. The crescendo is as cheesy as it is glorious.)

Is there any reason as to why you left Stravinsky out of your select prefered 'neoclassical' composers? Since he is by far the most popular out of the composers associated with the term.

(I discovered a lot of cool metal shit to listen to through your profile, by the way.)

Happy birthday man!

If you feel like cursing a dead person clearly you're the psycho here.

i gotta say, your post-rock preferences are pretty good. personally, i'd scratch god is and astronaut, but other than that - it's marvelous, especially gy!be

Eh, I can't binge watch anything anymore, I legit rather go sit down in peace and listen to albums for hours lol.

Well the thing with music, there's so much unique stuff waiting for you in every genre, it's like when I'm watching an Anime (since I pretty much check out things that I was already watching or what caught my eye) during those 24 mins watching the episodes, I know the thought may be rude but I legit think, "I can be listening to a new Metal album or an album in my PTL rn" lol.

Heh heh, no problem, I don't really care that much about Anime these days, I'm all about listening to albums when I have free time :p
