The influence of Ravel is clear, but this was less than 20 years after Ravel composed his two piano concertos.

山田耕筰は西洋に留学し、西洋音階を身に付け、西洋音階に基づく様々な楽曲を書いたが、結局は日本的な四七抜き音階に美を見出だしました。 私はどちらかと言えば、彼の日本的な四七抜き音階の歌曲の方が好きです。「鐘が鳴ります」等は無駄を削ぎ落とし切った枯山水のような美しさを感じる。 これは、まだ西洋の音階の中を五里霧中でさ迷っている段階での曲。美しくはありますが個性は感じません。

As a transplant to Florida and resident for the last 35 years, this piece somehow conveys the natural landscapes of Florida in a way impossible with just words. When you get out into what are considered the scary wilds of Florida, even with all the mosquitos, snakes and alligators, it really is spectacularly and uniquely beautiful. He probably never experienced one, but it would have been interesting to hear Delius' musical interpretation of a hurricane. It would have ruined the mood of this piece, but, having been through a few, I wish I could point those who ask me about what they are like to something akin to this, so they could get the "feel" of those storms.

This music is a heart-on-sleeve expression of pure joy. My wife and I had the incredible good fortune to hear a live performance of this, in Prague at the National Theatre, during a brief holiday weekend trip. It was the final piece in a program of all-Czech music and it remains one of the highlight musical experiences of our lives. From its deliberate, almost pensive beginning through progressive rising waves of sound, it ended in an enormous, victorious coda that practically blew out the back wall of the theatre. To put yourself in the right mood, it's worth keeping in mind that Martinu composed this just after the end of World War One and the founding of the new nation of Czechoslovakia.

NOW THIS IS WHAT UNDERRATED STANDS FOR

Ease of pastiche quotient seems a valuable guide in any artisitc medium

20:10-22:20 says it all- rises to the top !

14:30 sounds like the Angel Dance in The Nutcracker

3:31 3:39 4:22

I discovered him only recently through my classical music radio station, and I'm so glad I did .

Great music!❤🔥

Anybody know where one can find the words?

The choral harmonies owe a lot to VW's 'Dona Nobis Pacem' and 'Sancta Civitas' yet the orchestral harmonies are distinctly Britten. It has always seemed to me to be a 'truncated' work with not very good words [let's be honest] but Op.14 can be effective live. Here, unfortunately, Hickox seems to never quite get the gist and Martyn Hill makes vibrato into advanced wobble.

A great performance of a great symphony. To me, the fourth movement depicts the return of the arctic convoy.

excelentes piezas musicales. se me asemejan a los paisajes de la Huasteca

Bellísima y emocionante música.

David howell is a narcissist lmao, he wants to act like hes more superior to the people that feel this music so he puts the victims down. Npd classic lil bitch ill fking bear your ass

_If they're not stopped..._

Gênio

Leningrad is Shostakovich's hometown, which represents yours in the form of music as far as it is not abadoned.

A preocu preocupação com a guerra em Villa Lobos é ainda atual.Composta antes da 2a. e nós antes da 3a. Nada como admirar um compositor brasileiro que fez fama internacional.

9:38

Good job he did not render the mosquitos in detail...

what is making that sound on 15:28?

I feel some Shoatakovich, Prokofiev, Ravel and Gershwin in it. Mix of modern dissonant harmony, jazzy improvised subject and Japanese melody. Interesting!

Keep them US southern classics coming!!!

It's possible that the faster stringed movements along with one of the Strauss brothers fast stringed movements were used in the Barnum circuses in earlier times!!

epic finale

Wojciech Kilar y el encanto misterioso y solitario de su música.

Long live England, my homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤

Great symphony. I also like his first very much. Thanks to youtube, i have come to know many of the other Russian composers that you do not hear about. Kalinnikov, Symphony #1-2 Miasovsky, many symphonies. #6, 22 Popov Weinberg Symphony #21

II. THE MENAGERIE, UNCAGED This is a freewheeling, through-composed fantasy on all the major ideas from the first movement. All the animals are now unleashed and rampage in chaotic, violent abandon. New animals appear - elephants, horses, cows, dogs, lions and more birds, with some added grunting and rooting. The materials are all predominantly fast and frenetic, rushing to a virtuosic finale for soloist and orchestra. (The work is dedicated to my good friend, Gillian Moore MBE). James MacMillan

I. THE MENAGERIE, CAGED The book is opened. Moussorgsky’s ‘Promenade’ from Pictures at an Exhibition provides the model here for this recurring refrain. Ode to a cro-magnon hyena. Duetting melodic lines on organ, violas and cellos are accompanied by laughing trumpets, lolloping trombones, howling clarinets, and little ticking rhythmic figures on percussion and horns. A page is turned. The refrain material is now presented on the woodwinds. Reptiles and Big Fish (in a small pond). Large, slithering and lumbering melodies are presented on the organ pedals, tuba and double basses, which lead to an ungainly waltz, doused in watery textures. Her Serene and Ubiquitous Majesty, Queen Bee. A buzzing organ solo emerges from the depths, interrupted by violent and shrill interjections, before a grotesque Scottish reel winds its way through various fluttering textures. The section ends regally and serenely. Another page is turned. The refrain material is now carried by the strings. The red-handed, no-surrender, howler monkey. A military strain is overlaid by a jabbering organ, tootling flutes and cackling trumpets and clarinets. Horns blare out an obsessive two note motif. Uncle Tom Cat and his chickens. Sleek, surreptitious, prowling clarinets and nervous strings and woodwind predominate in this section. Yet another page is turned. This time the refrain is presented on percussion, harp and electric piano. Scottish Patriots. A discarded fanfare for the opening of the new Scottish Parliament receives appropriate transformations on trombones, accompanied by bagpipe-like drones and snuffling on the organ. Later it is accompanied by a vamping piano and jazz-like pizzicato bass. The Reverend Cuckoo and his Parroting Chorus. A high clarinet represents the obsessive cuckoo and the other woodwind instruments parrot their eager responses. The organ accompanies this with a hymn. Jackass Hackass. This is a moto perpetuo movement, where the organ rushes and flies virtuosically, accompanied by a bodhran (a celtic drum) and braying hee-haws on strings and brass. A couple of noisy typewriters improvise a fast jig over a vamping piano and bass. The book is closed. A coda for the solo organ, and a tentative dreamy final chord.

Shostakovich's music is something premium, I say so facetiously. Though the man himself had the soul of an Angel. There is a reason Stalin persecuted this guy, though there is also a reason that Stalin allowed him, the only artist in the entire soviet union with free creative license, to live. I say these things, as someone whose ancestors fought for the U.S. during wwI and wwII. We were a historically a conservative family, though supported abolition. Naturally we supported also U.S. strength, however, I grew up listening to Shostakovich. It is unfortunate, that the only symphony of his that I can handle, is the Leningrad, the 7th Symphony. His other works are inspirational, but one would take care to keep them in context. Stalin was obviously giving the devil room to set himself up with Shostakovich, who had the soul of an Angel. I will not speak on Stalin, save to say he was both a great and terrible man, there are no words for such things.

Nearly a decade ago, when I first began college. My parents took me to Best Buy, and I got this box set of a 5 Disc Ultimate Classical Music Relaxation. One of the pieces was this one. It brings memories of picking up my sister from her job in Downtown. Looking out the window into the city while this was being played, late at night. It is interesting, because I think about this piece of music, every so often for about a decade. Now, I'm listening to it, late at night, while lying in bed. It's almost like being in love.

Beecham died in March 1961.

I can hear how this work, and probably others of his, influenced his much more popular "The Planets".

Marsz, marsz Dąbrowski, Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski!

The music is very intimidating for a guy with the name (Sus)lov

What does these comment’s exactly mean Marxist influence?

Kalnins is a remarkable talent. Thanks so much for posting this.

This is so fresh and adventurous; Khachaturian's approach was unique so that he could afford, unlike the majority of modern composers, to bring to us a richness of compliant melodies and rhythms (that could have been composed in the 19th century as well) and still be so modern and new in his forms, his effects, his almost rhapsodic structure.

quiero hacer notar que mata nacio el 5 de septiembre y el compositor aleman Bruckner el 4 de septiembre, ambos de signo virgo, que se dice de bruckner era el cientifico de la musica clásica. Escuchen las sinfonias de mata y bruckner y vean sus profundidades.

This and the Sinfonia Rustica were the first works of Panufnik that I heard. Later I met Andrzej and his wife on vaious occasions - a true gentlemean - and a composer of beautiful music.The interpretaion on this recording is very similar in tempo and balance as own Panufnik's own.recording.

The movie Thelma brings here....and i hear. Bernhard hermann.... Vertigo...in some parts ....since i heard opening by mr.glass....i like her Music....masterpiece....in all way.....thank you

The composer's greatest work. Incredible performance.

Sublime

I have this recorded on tape at home. I have been listening to it during the 1990's when visiting Florida. I listened to it last night. Enjoyed and remembered this music.

So glad to have dicovered McTee. Circuits and Timepiece and other shorter musics . Now I'm hearing thisit's rhythms ,minimalist repetitive grooves are definitely her thing .with a definite lively almost discorock feel The third movements new timbres and combinations held me first to last stopped french horn harmonics or just high notes? !

Achei minha primeira sinfonia perfeita de cabo a rabo, simplesmente genial!
