yMusic is a classical contemporary chamber group with unique instrumentation that I first heard of by looking up Rob Moose, who is both the violinist for yMusic and the violinist for pop acts like Miley Cyrus and Phoebe Bridgers. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform (and premiere some of) their original compositions at Carnegie Hall in 2023 and I had a great time. I have a long history with classical music and I was a violinist for a long time (I hope to say I will be one again as soon) and this is the kind of music that I would have loved to think I would play one day when I was a teenager and had a semblance of a thought of being an adult violinist.

Surprising because I thought I was listening to more pop music lately.

I got Apple Music classical recently. absolutely love it. If youā€™re reading this and havenā€™t taken the classical-pill yet, you have to give it a try. It has all the calming space out lock in effects of ambient musicā€” but if you care to really tune into the music itself itā€™s astonishing how beautiful it can be. Growing up, I thought it was music for the diaperprolesā€” babies & senior citizens. I was so wrong. Such grace, such clarity, such overwhelming force, such tenderness, such vehement, electrifying ENERGY all expressed completely wordlessly. By a means that surpasses words. Wordcelsisters, we never stood a chanceā€¦ Iā€™ve been on a huge Russians kick currently. Prokofiev, Rachmoninov, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Tvhaikovsky. Some pieces that Iā€™ve really been enjoying recently, in no particular order: Schumannā€™s piano concerto in A minor performed by Marta Argerich. Rossiniā€™s overture from la gazza ladra Prokofievā€˜s dance of the knights from Romeo & Juliet Stravinskyā€™s rite of spring Vladikir Ashkenazyā€™s rendition of Chopinā€™s 15th nocturne Iā€™m also convinced that ā€œSmile Sessionsā€ is the best pop album ever made. If anyone can provide any evidence to the contrary Iā€™d be delighted. But in the meantime, Iā€™ll continue listening to ā€The Teenage Symphony to Godā€ front to back ad infinitum
