      It is definitely the most terrifying thing anyone could conduct. If you did it strictly, you're conducting a hemiola for like half of the fucking song, man. I'd rather conduct all of Rite of Spring than have to do this one.

    • @andrewhcit
      @andrewhcit 8 лет назад +15

      My orchestra just read the piece for the first time last night (we're performing it soon). Our conductor doesn't switch to 2 until the last two measures of that passage, which is actually a little awkward for us string players who since we ARE playing in 2 for most of it. Thing is, you're conducting a hemiola no matter what, whether you conduct that passage in 2 or 3.

    I just listened to an interview with Marin Aslop on "France Culture". She does more than just talk about music, she makes a connection between music and social issues in each era. For her, the music reflects our difficulties. That's why contemporary music sometimes seems "rough". But for her it's inevitable. She thinks that the so-called "contemporary" music will undergo a renewal, because it will accompany the difficulties of our world. I hope I do not distort his words. For me, it's a great lady!

    This is one of the best videos of a symphonic ensemble, period. For one, the audio recording is flawless, despite the absurd complexity of the score. And the camera editing always highlights each of the sections and solo instruments at their best moment! The piece itself is a whirlwind of emotions, beginning with a feeling of happiness and admiration and rapidly escalating to flashes of utter chaos and deep terror, exactly as the title implies - being a passenger in a sports car with a daredevil driver. My love for all this is endless. Brilliant performers and stellar conductor.

    It's astonishing to me that some people are actually blaming the trumpet fluff on Marin's conducting. I've seen various great orchestras play difficult music, and on those similarly rare occasions someone messed up (generally the brass) it wasn't the conductor. It was the player. I've had my _own_ music conducted and recorded and heard the process, and again - mistakes whilst the players refine their understanding of the piece. Musicians don't emerge into the world fully-formed able to play everything on demand, they might have rehearsed this for an hour or so that afternoon or the previous day, and so mistakes happen.

      @Josef OConnor That's the point - the score is chucked with hemiolas in at random points in the score - the beginning is like a 4:3 polyrhythm in the winds, synths and brass, and then there's other points in the score where the rhythms collide over each other. So in summary, the whole score could be considered a hemiola of itself with hemiolas beyond that!

    Adams music may be pretty boring and hard to play as a musician (speaking as an oboist) but it is still very interesting when it comes to its composition and structure, more so than Glass in my opinion
