Czech Philharmonic Orchestra - Most successful classical philharmonic orchestra
In Classical Billboard Chart, among the album of philharmonic orchestra made, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is top-ranked. The secret was, they are not stuck in the self-esteem. They made christmas album for communication with ordinary people, and it seems to success. They are selling their album very much.
There is an old saying, "A rolling stone gathers no moss".
In classical music history, there were many trends. But they didn't stay in some point and some conception. It is time to develop a new kind of classical music, like as "Contemporary Classical Music".
That was just my suggestion!
*Closing all the bloggings...
It is very important to have their own explanation. I've learned and read many books, classical music scores, theories and classical music history until now. But at some point, I tried to have my own feeling and explanation. If you have your own point, just keep going. If you are wrong, just accept that. Now you learned one more.
This is my first and final request. Please don't just accept the other's opinion about music. You can think about Why? What is enable to do that?
If you are keeping this attitude, you will have your good explanation someday.
Someday I will go to music school. I will try to this, too. If you are interested in this blog, you and I become friend now. Let's meet someday!
What is the Good music?
Classical music is the most excellent genre in history and there is no argument about that. But, it is not popular to younger generation these days. As I anticipate, after 50 years, the classical music will be a antique even if that is worthy once upon a time. Young people don't like to spend money to buy a ochestra or opera ticket nowadays. Even they don't like spend any money to buy a music. If so, how can we keep the value of classical music as a current, active art?
A great player in classical music never made in a day. It takes much more time to play a classical music. However, hook song can be made with no speciallity because that song is comprised with some melody line and with little kind of musical instrument.
So, accesibility is the main point, in my opinion. All kind of technology tries to simplifying. Music is not an exception. If so, do the classical music have to compromise to popularity? I think not. But for continue the value of classical music, we need to change the perception regarding classical music is the best.
Psy's Gangnam style hits 1,846,501,859 until now. How about the hits of classical music?
I have many friend who is major in classical music such as piano, composing, violin and etc. But the problem is, they regard the classical music is absolutely best, so they don't like listen to the other genres such as Jazz and Blues. They told me Classical music professor teaches them usually.In some part, that is true. It takes huge amount of time and it is not accessible to reach some point without special music talent. But this trend and perception makes classical music as "their's"
Who will buy the ticket? Who will buy the recordings?
My older sister majored in Jazz Piano in top-ranked university in Korea, and she practices classical music. She doesn't think Jazz is the only best music but her play skill is excellent. Openness is the key.

Kun-Woo Paik Beethoven Piano Sonata No.17 3mov
Kun-Woo Paik Beethoven Piano Sonata No.17 3. movement
Recently, I introduced about Crossover music. There was a specific reason.
Have you heard of Absolute music before?
If so, you are interested in classical music very much.
Absolute music is a kind of music that was a main stream in 18th century. We can say about 18th music with three people - Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.
Those three great composers had a concept about music should be performed in distinctive way. Moderation and temperation is really important matter in this concept.
There's no one who can darely say Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven was not much a good artist. But this Absolute music concept is not regarded as a fundamental concept.
Critics of music judges music as a relative one. Some music can be estimated to some critics as a best thing but not to everyone.
I like classical music is the best, but I don't like Hip-hop. Even I don't want to call Hip-hop as a music. But Hip-hop can be the best genre of music to somebody.
But I want to say that when a music reaches a peak point(the highest level), it is no doubt to say that some music performed absolutely perfect.
So, I want to recommend today, Kun-Woo Paik Beethoven Piano Sonata No.17 3mov because many critics compliments this performance as "absolutely great".

Crossover music
I will talk about Crossover music in this post.
I like classical music very much because classical music is like ground where we can build up the buildings. These days, many kind of music have been occured such as Jazz, Rock, Blues, Electronica, Pops, Metals and etc. Have you wondered about the origin of music at least once in your life?
The true value of classical music is in "record". There have been numerous kind of music in history, but most of them don't have any material. But in case of classical music, there is a score, written material about what is music and definition. Because of those firm, solid basis, we could listen to various kind of music.
Among them, I want to deal with Crossover music today.
According to Wikipedia, Crossover is a term applied to musical works or performers appearing on two or more of the record charts which track differing musical tastes, or genres.[1] If the second chart combines genres, such as a "Hot 100" list, the work is not acrossover.

Individual genre of music has a clear definition. So, we can devide or decide that is certain kind of music when we are listening music. We can't judge definitely when the music is very similar genre in some cases, such as Acid Jazz and Blues.
But we can devide which is Rock and Jazz.

The clear definition is, Crossover music is a genre of mixture more than two kind of music. Why is so important?
Just think about the Jazz. Usually, when we think about Jazz, it is not so energetic and powerful. Normal perception could be a medium tempo but sometimes fast, and somewhat boring. But in case of Crossover Jazz, this is different.
I want to recommend Casiopea's "Domino line" today.
I wish you can feel the difference and love this crossover music.
And my comment is, the motive of classical music is used in this crossover music!
If you can find any classical motives, please make a comment!
Yeol Eum Son - Rising Korean Classical music artist.
This is the movie when she got the silver medal in International Tchaikovsky Competition. She have clear note tone and this advantage is seeing well in the fastest part in the music. From the 180 tempo, her advantage is maximized.
I saw her performance first in the Suwon philharmonic ochestra's regular performance in 2012. She played with Suwon philharmonic at that time, so I could see her in Korea.
She is living in Germany mainly, so it is not easy to see her in korea even if she is Korean.
With the great Maestro Myung Whun Chung, she played Bartok Piano Concerto No3. I want to praise of her ensemble skill. With Maestro Chung and Korea's best ochestra, Seoul philharmonic, she did not make any mistake at this moment. I want to point out the classical pianist's weak point, suitable to play solo, but Yeol Eum is good at Ensemble as well.
Finally I want to recommend Chopin piano concerto No.2 F minor. She expressed stream of emotion unbelievably at this performance. Have fun with Yeol Eum!^^

About Juilliard School
Juilliard School, the most valuable classic school to the Korean. I want to introduce today regarding Juilliard School.
If you can get admission to join this school, your future is all prepared regardless of you are undergraduate or quit the school. I was the one who really thought about for entering that school(but I didn't try yet).
In the US, that school is always top 10-ranked classic school, but not always the highest ranked. But for the Korean, this school is regarded as a best classic school because the greates conductor, Maestro Myung-Whun Chung graduate this school. Furthermore, his two old sisters Myung-Wha and Kyung-Wha graduate this school, too.According to some interviews, students of this school practice more than 10 hours in a day. And they are called all genius. Talent don't tell the success, but what if talented people practices a lot?
This school is located in Manhattan in New York City, so the tuition and living cost is so expensive. If you are talented and rich person, it's not bad to try to get admission of this school. For the unrich people, Germany is good to consider. Tuitions free!
I want to enter Juilliard school after I become a flight attendant and get some money. See you in Juilliard, later!
