This is a real composer who is able to use and develop his interesting musical material. Rare these days especially considering the music is now 70 years old.
Jolivet è uno dei migliori compositori del '900. Molti pensano sia un autore minore, ma non è così. Genio assoluto
Une oeuvre absolument exceptionnelle dans l'interprétation pleine de vigueur et d'énergie de la créatrice, Lucette Descaves; Celle-ci a beaucoup popularisé l'oeuvre en la jouant partout dans le monde.
I'm listening to this work for the first time. It's brilliant as any other Jolivet's work! I can't stop saying that I'm full of admiration for this composer.
adoro questo concerto...lo trovo un pezzo assolutamente geniale
Thank you for the perfect realization of this concerto! Unlike another performance on RUclips, the piano sound is featured and orchestra is in the background. In this piece, the piano is the instrument that pulls meaning into this dense orchestration, commenting thematically on what the orchestra plays. When the piano is only one of the instrumental forces, it is a mess of ideas and conflicting themes. The pianist must be excellent (like Lucette) with a dominant sound to pull this piece off. When the piano sound dominates the other instruments, there is a lovely balance of primitivism and expressionistic aspects of this piece that becomes just competing noise if the piano doesn't get highlighted. Yes, it is dense, but there are absolutely gorgeous melodies that pass through the texture of this concerto. To allow the instrumentalists to blast the primitivistic themes and unusual instrumentation is to make noise not music. In my teens (written in 51), I was blown away by this piece in a recording by Philippe Entremont. Why isn't this concerto played more?
I've been listening to this work eight or ten times. It's always a pure delight. But in my opinion, when it comes to concertos, Jolivet's masterworks are the Concerto for Ondes Martenot and the second Concerto for Cello. But he actually did a lot of concertos, all of which are fantastic (for flute, trumpet, violin and so on!)
Magnifique première version avec Lucette Descaves, ne pas oublier la version la plus extraordinnaire de Philippe Entremont qui remue la terre, et fait bouger le sol, un ouragan de force 10 comme André Jolivet qui reste un des plus grand compositeur du 20 ième siècle.
Ne pas oublier ses deux sonates également.
c'est vrai: la version de Entremont est absolument enivrante
Magnifique!
damn, Jolivet is THE coolest
YES
"Un concerto pour piano qui finit au violon" litterally translated, it means "A piano concerto which ends up at the violin". This is the title of a newspaper the day after the world premiere of Jolivet's piano concerto in Strasbourg. In French "le violon" doesn't merely mean 'violin' but it also means (in slang) "the police". In fact, the performance provoked such a violent reaction from the audience, that the police had to come to calm people down and several people had to spend their night at the 'violon', the police station! I incredibly love this piece, its uncontrolled violence, its explosion of ideas. It's like a river which arrives and destroys everything it meets on its path!
thank you!
It is hardly believable that the evening of the creation the scandal was such that the police had to intervene. The structure of this concerto is quite classical. The rythms are quite clear, well marked. The orchestra includes percussions which create a bridge with the piano. The influence of Bartok is clearly audible, both in the energid outer sections and in the mystery of the central one. This concerto should be a classical of the repertoire of the mid XXth century and should be played more often.
Et le jour de la création Boulez a même reçu un coup de parapluie sur la tête de la part de l'épouse de Jolivet !
Believe it or not, this piece has a stronger influence from Varése than from Bartok. It sounds to your ears like Bartók because it shares with him the inspiration from folk music, but these two composers developed their style quite indipendently... Listen for example Jolivet's early work Mana for piano or Cinq Encantations for flute alone
@@dariocaporuscio8701 Yes you are right but the most advanced findings of Varese are a bit hold back in order to better firmly merge modern music and a rather traditional form in three movements. From that piint of view; and alos for rhythmic writing, the influence of Bartok is obvious
@@dariocaporuscio8701 I am going to tell you a funny story. In France, "violon" (violin) is a popular expression for "police station".or even jail. The day of the première, the disorders were so great that the police had to intervene . So, a journal published a paper ' Un concerto pour piano qui se termine au violon"; a piano concerto which ends at violin". In the polie sy tation, Jolivet was quietly explaining th rhythmic writing to young listeners and music students
@Gérard Begni thanks for the reply, this is very interesting. I read that later he played the piece again in a different context and the reaction of the public was quite different. I wonder what the young french student that started those disorder didn't like about the piece, and if Boulez was part of them. Boulez was very much influenced by the very early Jolivet, but later denied his influence and criticized the more "spiritualistic" interest in Jolivet's music
Genius. Love the clarinet part at 18:37.
it's a saxophone
@@marioargonne11 Here is the score! ruclips.net/video/2pFS2ZGiVgg/видео.html
@@adigozelov-enjoyer sorry, I thought you were speaking about an other moment (20'53") where the sax plays!
@@marioargonne11 Oh, I love that part too!
@@adigozelov-enjoyer it's actually à masterwork !
Cubistic just like Picasso!
rare piece
musica eccelsa
Okay, this percussive, energetic, brilliant concerto packs a punch, but after the initial exhilaration wears off, there's not much left. It doesn't have the same effect on repeated hearing, but just becomes tiresome. I used to enjoy Jolivet's music for its' audacity, but now it's annoying. Try Prokofiev's 2nd or 3rd Concerto for true masterpieces in the same idiom.
seems closer to Bartok's concertos to me especially Bartok 1
You’re just jealous
