The entire symphony is one of the most beautiful in all classical music. George Balanchine's choreography setting of this music makes Symphony in C one of the most beautiful in all ballet.
This is a very enjoyable and beautifully composed symphony. It is a shame that Bizet hid it away. I guess that he was anxious because the symphony was not sufficiently innovative for the times in which he lived. The influences of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn are quite obvious, but yet, there is much in the way of originality and beauty in this symphony. So, it's not a ground-breaking moment in the history of music, but all the same, it is worthy to be described as a "masterpiece".
Sinfonia dall'indubbio sapore neoclassico, di scuola. Anche se Bizet,come Gounod, non si cimentò nella produzione di musica strettamente strumentale,questa composizione è piacevole e ottimamente orchestrata. Ottima la direzione di Haitink e la prestazione dei Concertgebouw. Un encomio a Bartje per lo splendido post.
Não seria por conta de um foco maior em compositores alemães/austríacos e franceses, enquanto que aqueles de outras nacionalidades tendem a ser ignoradas. Ópera é outra história, mas em se tratando de música instrumental, vejo um foco enorme nos dois aqui no Brasil
I just heard this on the classical radio station for the first time today, and the host said that this was never played publicly during his lifetime..... That is sad, considering this is an underrated masterpiece such incredible music!
Found in a dresser Drawer 1920s? Many people believe the 3d movement is better than Mozart and than Beethoven symphonys It's only an opinion. Ballerina use this for exercises. I wrote it. John 3 Bible is textbook Reincarnation. Jesus Christ My Second Coming Happy Easter Sunday. 🎉🎉🎉
I was 15 years old when I first played this symphony. I was still in high school, but invited to play with the local university orchestra. I played 4th horn. To this day, I vividly recall playing the brief 4th horn solo in the Andante-Adagio movement (at 12:44). I don't know if it's just because I was so young when I learned this piece (and keenly aware of that fact, being surrounded by people who were years older than me). But what stands out to me about this symphony is how perfectly it captures the innocent and youthfully exuberant outlook on life we all have at that age. I'm a bit older now. But whenever I want to recapture that feeling, I turn to this piece (especially the slow movement).
Had the pleasure of playing this on trumpet in concert with the Riverside Orchestra in NYC. My favorite part is the second movement Adaggio particularly the oboe solo and listening to the strings at 13:48 forward. I love the sound of a full symphony orchestra. What's remarkable is that Bizet wrote this as an assignment as a 17-year old student. Amazing!
Wow, this work is unbelievable! Bizet was just oozing with talent. The trio at 23:14 reminds me so much of something "Scottish" that Mendelssohn could have written, only it is not Mendelssohn but clearly Bizet. Both composers were genius tunesmiths and wrote such wonderful uplifting music. And unfortunately died very young...
ho vissuto 47 anni senza aver potuto godere di questo spettacolo supremo solo per colpa della mia ignoranza e del mondo moderno che dimentica i grandi compositori. Grazie Georges!
Isn't it, just. I seem to remember when I played it with the ABS Sinfonia in the 1980s, our conductor said Bizet nearly relegated it to the fire. It was saved and rediscovered well after his death. I've not had the real inclination to research this, though I'm happy to be proven wrong.
@@rossini9mozart10 If you're going to talk about Mendelssohn, arguably the greatest musical prodigy to ever live(considering how his early music is still widely played and known today, unlike Mozart's early works), you should mention his String Symphonies, he wrote his first in C major when he was only 12. And his last string symphony, number twelve, was completed when he was just 14. And his Rondo Capriccioso for piano, Opus 14, still a very popular piece, was written when he was just 15. Shortly after that he composed the Octet in Eb major when he was only sixteen years old, then the Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was just 17, all of which were very novel works. Finally, his Hebrides Overture, a piece which even Wagner praised, was written when he was the ripe old age of 22.
Ab Broer it is a sign of the times. Bizet had no smartphones, tablets, iPods or social media. Or the other distractions of today. Disclaimer: the opinions voiced here are mine and mine alone, they do not represent any of my colleagues. Boom shakkalaka done. So, It is my personal belief that smartphones are a killer of imagination. But that is only my personal idea. Other people will disagree with me. I make a point daily of spending some time morning and night without my phone. Every night before I eat and I'm at home, I look at my phone one last time and then I do the unthinkable: I turn my phone off and spend the whole of the rest of the evening without my phone and all of its dings, pings and things. Then, the morning after, I wait one hour before turning it back on the following morning unless having reason to be out of the house in that time. What does this have to do with the subject at hand? Well, I see a link in that it gives me time for my brain for it to breath and get some air out of the blockade of phones and social media that we seem to live in in these days. The link that I think that that has to music making and my own music making (I am a baroque violinist btw) is that it gives my brain room too breath and therefore be used for its greatest purpose: imagination, which helps my music making. And I have found that my routine with my phone does directly help that. Being a musician does not just depend on how or how much you study or practice, while those two are undoubtedly crucial, but also the environment to which you subject yourself to and what you fill your head with. That is why I believe Bizet was able to write this creation of genius when he was 17. Again, the opinions voiced here are mine and mine alone. They do not represent any of my colleagues.
It's really delightful, but very Classical and Haydnesque in style. It's as if Beethoven never even existed. Nevertheless it's full of engaging melodies and joie de vivre. It's Gallic Classicism in full form, and I love it!
Watching Aristocats. On the piano has a sheet of music. On the cover it has this gentleman’s last name. So here I am enjoying his music😀 I love classical music.
I read somewhere that this was a music school assignment and he really wasn't interested in doing it. Supposedly, he took one of his instructors symphonies, thought up a new theme and followed the variations that his instructor had used to complete his "homework". He got a passing grade and discarded the work because he thought it was uninteresting and uninspired.
@@tannhauser7584 It's very derivative, is all. It's like one of myriads of passable symphonies that Mozart wrote. It is a somewhat enjoyable listen for me, just not memorable. I guess I shouldn't have said "pretty boring"; Bizet said it best himself: "unintresting and uninspired".
I saw the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra perform this at a Promenade Concert under Louis Fremaux. Undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable concerts that I have attended, as it also included some Ravel and Saint-Saens 3rd Symphony.
David Galvin it really does. If Mozart had lived into the 19th century this is likely what his music would have sounded like. Clear and classical style, but with more of a sensuous, exotic style like Bizet.
I don't know why but at 4:46, this reminds some Dragon Quest music. I find this moment so pure and so magic, Bizet has done a wonderful job with this piece!
To me, if Saint-Seans was the French Beethoven(as was once said by Charles Gounod I believe), then Bizet was surely the French Mozart. It's too bad he died at such a young age, I enjoy most of his music.
Gounod didn't live long enough to witness the emergence of Debussy and Ravel, so we can forgive him for trying to find France's 'Beethoven' among his contemporaries.
@@craigresnianky6909 Someone asked Berlioz why Saint-Saens always sounded like someone else. Berlioz replied: "Because he lacks inexperience." But besides this early work, Carmen, the Arlesienne Suite and The Pearl Fishers, I can't think of anything else of Bizet's that has stuck.
I have both the last Beecham/ORTF and this recording on LP (French HMV and Philips respectively), both very good performances, but between 1959 and 1979 analog tape and record cutting really improved.
I love this young and beautiful symphony. I love this performance by Philips stars. One thing! I have both an LP record and a CD of this and know that they don't repeat the theme exposition part of the 1st movement. But this one does.
Cette symphonie composée à 17 ans à peine est un chef d'oeuvre..., même s'il l'avait composée 30 ans plus tard. Ah quand les étudiants font des exercices de cours dont le résultat dépasse de loin le niveau de leur maître.
Too bad that this symphony has recently started to be neglected again. I never see it on programs these days. That was certainly different in the 80's.
This is a youth symphony of Bizet, who saved it without great illusion, but he was wrong: we like his symphony, influenced fo course by haydn, Mozart (not so much), and the Beethoven of the first manner. The art of orchestration of Bizet begins to be sensitive here.
J'pense que Richard Wagner a également écrit une symphonie assez charmante et négligée dans la même tonalité, possible en même temps que Bizet (probablement plus tôt), de toute façon, avant qu'il ne soit pris dans toutes ces affectation merdique-nordique!. (pardon my school boy French).
And in 1947, George Balanchine choreographed a ballet to this score for the Paris Opera Ballet titled "Le Palais de Cristal." Subsequently taken into the repertoire of the New York City Ballet and renamed "Symphony in C," it is one of Balanchine's masterpieces: ruclips.net/video/Fn1ZVGp0plc/видео.html
Love the energy. Bizet said something like music is a noble pursuit but a terrible way to make a living. Alas! He was subject to pitfalls making a living at it. But persisted. I think it killed him.
for sure, in overall flavour I agree. I think the case of the Bernstein (who made a splendid recording of the Bizet) is a little more deliberate, which in no way diminishes how charismatic the 2nd subject of the Overture is!
+Ben Legebeke I think you have it backwards and might be missing the point: the quote was Bizet's made about Berlioz(that is Bizet said about Berlioz, ...) not the other way around, at least the way I'm reading it. It says, Bizet's quote regarding Hector Berlioz, ...
I understand Bizet's comment. Berlioz was a genius who's orchestrations are instinctive rather than learned and polished. Berlioz succeeds by sheer force of vision and will, not because he was a precocious composer with all the skills at the ready to provide the effects he wanted whenever he wanted them.

@buddy smith amazing. As is the final movements of symphony 25, 27, 29, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40 & 41. Glad you enjoy quality music bro..

Bizet was only just gone seventeen when he wrote this masterpiece
Amazing that he just wrote it for the heck of it as a compositional student exercise - and it only took a month...
I just heard this on the classical radio station for the first time today, and the host said that this was never played publicly during his lifetime..... That is sad, considering this is an underrated masterpiece such incredible music!
Thank goodness it was discovered when it was.
Tragic he didn't live to gain recognition.

Its interesting that it appears to be written for valveless horn in 1855
I was also 15. I was so excited about this piece.
How beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience.
And Bizet was only 17 when he wrote it.

Awwww, that second movement... melts my heart.
Beautiful....and with luscious notes of Schubert & Mendelssohn !
Just one word: genius.
Owes a lot to Schubert. I think Schubert would have loved this. A prodigy’s work!
The final movement is very busy and bustling. But it is a fine symphony, and it deserves more performances than it often gets.....
The lightest,. most delicate performance I have heard of this amazingly precocious symphony.
Fantastic piece of Romantic repertory. I'm amazed anew every time I hear this young boy's phenomenal richesse of melody and orchestration.
Bartje, you are providing a great service to the world.

"music to relieve depression, fear and grief" 💙❤️💗 yes it does! Thank you-
why i love bizet: he gives the oboe the role to deliver the vibes
A perfect gem. Wish he had written more instrumental music, but having only lived 37 years will curtail one's output.
Fantastica sinfonia ! Grazie Bizet e grazie Haitink e orchestra. grazie anche della pubblicazione. ❤

Haitink conducting marvellously this fabulous score!!!
Wonderful!
C'est la musique d'un tempérament et d'une belle âme
I adore the descending notes towards the end of the 2nd movement, before the allegro : at about 20 minutes 'in'.
Perfect !
Sounds like an early Beethoven symphony, I've always liked this piece
It's too light and--well--French for Beethoven
ps will I'll give you too french.. .but not too light
There is also a great influence of Haydn, but the influence of Beethoven is obvious.
Cough. Bizet literally said that Mozart and Beethoven made him feel to deeply so I wouldnt be surprised if ps was right
It's really delightful, but very Classical and Haydnesque in style. It's as if Beethoven never even existed.

Always loved this quaint little Symphony. A student's exercise no less! Just wonderful!
And, from the perspective of a professional orchestral musician (violin/viola) the last movement for the first violins is FIENDISHLY difficult.

Just wondering if Bizet took a theme from the first movement of Saint-Saens' symphony in A major or if the similarities are incidental?
27:09 compare with Bernstein's Candide Overture. No coincidence I suspect.
von Reznick's Donna Diana Overture and Prokoviev's Classical Symphony also come to mind at times when hearing Bizet's symphony.
for sure, in overall flavour I agree.
I think the case of the Bernstein (who made a splendid recording of the Bizet) is a little more deliberate, which in no way diminishes how charismatic the 2nd subject of the Overture is!
