This started randomly playing while i was taking a shower and I could recognize Adès' style quite rapidly. Not every composer can distinguish themselves like that.
Surprised at all the negative takes on this concerto. I find that it captures the surreal aspect that Ades does so well. To me it feels fresh and contemporary while also keeping the past in mind.
Stumbled on this by accident: as it happens I saw an unfavourable discussion about it on Facebook the other month. It's actually worse than I expected. Shallow postmodern pastiche. Phps the only surprise being that it's suggestive of recent BBC soundtracks.
Interesting comment. The 21st century piano concerto is having a hard time indeed. I was only hoping to find more lyrical beauty in the 2nd movement. Which other pieces of Adès do you recommend listening to?
Ades has more academic and musical plaudits than Beethoven, Mozart and Mahler combined. Unfortunately, this concerto sounds like someone trying to be modern, but being unable to escape the figures and harmonies of the romantic piano concerto!
@@Rickriquinho Haha. Then you have not yet had the pleasure of "discovering" the modernist/postmodernist UTTER nonsense made by certain Danish "composers"! Honestly, I personally like to use such "nonsense" as an anti-example + maybe an inspiration to create something of personal value.
Explain why you don't like this piece. Oh, and don't say stuff like "Because it sounds bad", everyone's tastes differ. I would just like to know why you don't like it.
Hey man, just because you dont like this piece, doesnt mean "modernism" is terrible as a whole Say I profoundly hate Boulez, Stockhausen, Xenakis and their bs gangs, but I wouldnt say all of 20th century stuff are bad Maybe this piece aint for you. Check out his In Seven Days. Give it a try

Great music. Powerful and accessible at the same time.
something that Ades achieves so well 'organised chaos'

way to turn a transparent humble brag into a compliment!
Awesome!!!

Romantic or not, it still evokes novel colors and textures, juxtapositions, tensions, delightful sensations. It works for me.
romantic in what sense exactly? care to elaborate?
The ending is pretty good
Me I like this bro
Intrygujący koncert, zwłaszcza druga część, kompozytor o szerokiej wyobraźni.
I got rythm

Ades seems to have taken a huge step backwards in his musical language.
I agree

On the contrary, he tries to make good music and only succeeds in making modernist nonsense.
Yes, academic pastiche. Boring.

Modernism is always the same gibberish.

@@cgcomposer_ You have been brainwashed...
@@Rickriquinho why would you be upset by people enjoying music that you don't
@@josephalvarez5315 You, amateurs, are very funny because you have a naive view of things.
