Great music. Great recordings. Visualized.
Rachmaninoff: Symphony No.2 in E minor, Op.27 (Litton)
It is no secret that Rachmaninoff was a great admirer of Tchaikovsky, and the latter's influence is evident in several respects. Both composers are indeed reputated for their great melodic inspiration, masterful use of color, all in the service of powerful emotional expression. That is not to say that Rachmaninoff's music was a mere emulation of Tchaikovsky. Rachmaninoff incorporated his own unique musical language into the great traditional forms, exactly like Dvořák before him.
As far as musical form is concerned, Rachmaninoff's second symphony offers several fascinating points of comparison with Tchaikovsky's own symphonies.

Sibelius: The Bard, Op.64 (Sakari)
Просмотров 8275 месяцев назад
The Bard is notable for being one of the shortest, as well as one of the most evocative of all Sibelius' tone poems. The striking atmosphere of this piece is achieved with elegiac harp solos on top of a rather minimalist orchestration, showcasing Sibelius' mastery of orchestral color and mood. Petri Sakari and his Icelandic forces deliver one of the finest recordings of this elusive work. The f...
Ravel: La Valse, M.72 (Ozawa)
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Ravel prefaces the score of La Valse as such: "Swirling clouds give glimpses of couples of waltzers. The clouds gradually dissipate: we can see an immense hall populated by a whirling crowd. The scene gradually lights up. The light from the chandeliers shines in the fortissimo. An imperial court, circa 1855." The narrative proposed by Ravel in this piece is divided into four parts. Part 1 - "Th...
Franck: Le Chasseur Maudit, FWV 44 (Roth)
Просмотров 9377 месяцев назад
Inspired by Bürger's ballade "Der wilde Jäger", Le Chasseur Maudit (The Accursed Huntsman) tells the story of a Count who sets off on a hunt on a Sunday morning. As peasants are trying to dissuade him from pursuing his expedition, the Count does all sorts of blasphemy: he tramples on a wheat field, slaughters a flock of sheep and curses in a chapel. A sinister voice then arises from the woods a...

Schumann: Symphonic Etudes, Op.13 (Suzuki)
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the sleeper to end all sleepers. Japanese pianist Hironao Suzuki is pretty much a no-name outside his country, as the couple of recordings he made are only distributed in Japan by their local label Triton/Octavia Records. This is the perfect demonstration that great artistry has nothing to do with international reputation. Performances of Schumann's Symphonic Etude...
Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor, Op.22 (Kantorow)
Просмотров 8 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Father and son team up for what has to be the most theatrical and dazzling performance of Saint-Saëns' infamous piano concerto in G minor. The originality of this work mainly lies in its unusual structure: it's basically a giant accelerando, which starts with an organ-like prelude à la Bach, and ends with a blistering tarantella. Both pianist and conductor operate on the same wavelength in unde...
Bach: Fantasy and Fugue in A minor, BWV 904 (Ólafsson)
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.9 месяцев назад
00:00 Intro 00:13 Fantasy 04:08 Fugue Ólafsson's somewhat wayward interpretations and concept albums granted him the nickname of "Iceland's Glenn Gould". Besides the obvious marketing attempt behind this sobriquet, only time will tell if this is true or not. It is certainly true that DG's superstar has lots of personality, and the ensuing artistic results ranged from plain uninteresting ("From ...

Mendelssohn: Symphony No.3 in A minor, Op.56, "Scottish" (Blomstedt)
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Mendelssohn's third symphony is without a doubt one of the most visionary and influential works of the entire 19th century. Having worked on it for over a decade, it is by far the composer's most accomplished symphony, and the last published during his lifetime. The symphony famously takes its roots from a trip that Mendelsshon made to Scotland during his early twenties. The sight of the ruins ...

Will we see swan lake or sleeping beauty in the future?
The best answer I can give you is I don't know. Besides the time and effort it would require, it depends on the availability/existence of MIDI files, which is never guaranteed, especially for such long pieces.
Wow that finale 😮
I can say im learning this piece for one year, well since this vidéo was uploaded. I took my time but its such a complexe piece, every part need a lot of work. Like 15% left to learn. Was one the best thing ever create for me. Thx for the video, colors and rythm are very clear.
Cool format
28:50 what we are all here for...
Hi! This is a bit of a late comment, but is there a download for this midi file? Thanks!
This is great, thank you for your work! How are you making these? Do you create a midi file for every piece you upload?
Yes, you need a MIDI file synced with the performance, that's how you create the visualization.
Is there any chance that you'll create prokofiev sonata 1? I love your channel and appreciate your hard work!
If you send me the MIDI file, maybe.
@@EppurMusic can't find any 🙁
17:33 bach was ahead of his time.
Here because of gawx
This is Bach's most sublime fugue. (In my opinion)
Great recording pick for this final remaining set of late Brahms pieces, Hough is wonderful. Can't wait to see what your next project will be as you wrap this one up!
Very impressive work on these sets!
14:00 Baby, Daddy, Mommy, Kiss
You need to use the sustaining pedal
17:00 Nobody talks about how beautiful this passage is. It's so simple, yet so expressive. A truly Brahmsian melody.
20:15 What a ride towards the end! Absolutely top-tier performance.
Late piano Brahms is always based.
I feel like Brahms is an anti climactic composer
I too feel and also sometimes Brahms fades out the piece with simple endings but compare him with chopin Or Rachmaninoff, where finales, codas and endings are great
@@umanathshetty7232 or how literally every phrase ends
@@blacksky492 He's not anti-climactic. Brahms had such a strong feeling for form and structural integrity that his climaxes tend to be more subdued and intellectual, and less overtly emotional. You can't listen to Brahms the same way you listen to Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Tchaikovsky... They're just different musical personalities, all great in their own way.
With the release of this video, I'm proud to announce that I've completed all four sets of Brahms late piano pieces, Op.116 through 119, all presented in stunning modern performances!
I can't thank you enough
That's awesome! You did an amazing work. You think you could make a synthesia on the Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata? I don't see it anywhere, And it would help me so much to analyse it better with synthesia! Thank so much for your job till here, I hope you think about that sugestion ❤️
BEST piano roll chanel hands down. Uses good recordings + matching midi, amazing
One of my favorite Brahms piece, thanks for upload :D
Hough is an amazing pianist! I remember of his performance of Hummel Concerto No.2 It's so beautiful, but Ky6000 video has been deleted, I hope some synthesia channel can upload it again in the future. Antway, thank you for this video!!
Ky6000's video of Hummel 2 is still uploaded, you can check the channel and search for it, or just scroll through the uploads
@@composerjalen he re-uploaded it like, 4 days ago. Thank you!
Top 10 concertos of all time
Anyone else hear the g naturals at 5:44 and 5:47?
Thanks, Lovely! How long did it take to make this one?
Probably around 20 hours of work, I'm not sure. I don't really track these things (maybe I should?)
@@EppurMusicYeah it would be intressting to know!:)
5:58 Beautiful
Remind me Daphnis and Chloe
8:28 is absolutely heavenly, and so delicately played!
Nice Introduction by the Harp.
Great job on this tricky piece, and such a great performance! More Ravel is always a welcome addition to your uploads 🙏
Just a few remarks regarding the harp part: 1/ Harmonics are shown in their real pitch, i.e. one octave above the string that is actually being played. This is the reason why you'll notice some overlapping notes, something which I normally always take the time to fix. 2/ The piece contains several 3-note glissandos, and they look absolutely horrid in Synthesia because a ton of notes are being played in a very short time. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could have done about it. 3/ At the climax of the piece, the harpist is asked to play glissandos ad libitum (6:55). Needless to say that what you're seeing in the video is a gross approximation of what the player is actually doing. These are the kind of difficulties you're likely to encounter with Ravel's music.
ive never heard this work before, thanks for uploading (I saw the upload just as I was about to sleep lol)
Let's gooooo! tysm for this video
A much appreciated Ravel jumpscare
In terms of what impresses me as useful and beautiful, this is the best music visualization technique I have ever seen. It is so nice to see the notes coming in the scrolling section before they are played, the color coding of different instruments is ingenious, and the mapping of everything onto a piano keyboard, collisions be damned, works very well for me. If there is a downside, it is that one’s attention may be distracted from the exquisite playing of the music by Kantorow and the orchestra, one of the best interpretations I have heard. Bravo!
Thanks for your kind comment! Glad you enjoyed it.
WoW, so expressive
30:01 wth is that lol
A gunshot.
I liked the little progression in the 2nd mvt that he also used in Danse Macabre, at 15:40-15:45 and also, the incredible wash of harmony at 17:50-18:00 reminds me of debussy/ravel, which makes sense because Saint-Saens was a strong influence on both!
NO WAY HES PLAYIMG THOSE LAST CHORDS he using his feet fr
YOU DID THE ENTIRE SYMPHONY??????? That is actually amazing work!
Hey there! I do know that you do not take personal requests, but if you really had the idea of making a video, I’d wanna see Wagner/liszt-cziffra tannhauser overture 🥲🥲 would be so great if this actually happens :)
YESS OMG
I just wanted to tell you that I love the content on your channel. Thank you so much ❤
How am I supposed to memorise this?
Scales
This symphony has some of the craziest motivic and thematic transformations in the entire literature.
Man I honestly just can’t imagine how many months of work it takes to come up with such complex uploads 🫡 respect
