Perfecto. Todo es arte. El alma se desahoga. Bienvenidos, sonidos modernos. Desde Chile. ❤❤👍
Another completely underrated genius from the Soviet scene of the 1920ties.
First time hearing the name. First listen to this obviously worthwhile composition. So far so good. Now to wikipedia to look him up.
Pretty long winded apologia insistent upon the fact that he did not compose using tone rows. Can the musicologists discern if he used tone rows? Seems to go beyond free atonality.
Просто восторг. Почему я не слышал раньше?
потому что такие как Хренников и Коваль уничтожали все прогрессивное. Бездари и твари боялись талантов. У нас и рок-музыка дохлая из-за этого...
@@fairly75это так.
можда ниси имао уши?
Great Music and the comments provide even more history - it would be great to know more. But information is scarce
very good
Блаженство, нашел в дебрях слиток золота!
Grande.
Great!

musique de souffrance, 5 opéras et 7 symphonies de perdus, mais finalement à quoi bon
So sad that Stalin threw him in the Gulag and that he emerged a defeated man, and that much of his work was stolen by the KGB, never to be found. A great loss.
I thought he had "simply" been thrown into jail for "hooliganism", i.e. technically not a "political crime".
@@michgent1976 Not quite. After the success of "Zavod" in 1927, his music was eventually banned. In 1932 he wrote to Stalin, requesting to be allowed to leave the country; he never received a reply. In 1937 he was arrested under article 58--counter revolutionary activities--and sentenced to 8 years in the Gulag. Miaskovsky and Gliere got him out after one year, but he never again wrote avant-garde music. A suitcase containing his best works, including apparently 5 operas and 7 symphonies was at some point stolen by the NKVD and has never been found. Wikipedia has quite a bit. Also "Absolute Pitch," a Russian program on music (in Russian): ruclips.net/video/KSuWZVA6OkU/видео.html , starting at 10:00.
@@tonyrothman Hi Tony, thanks for your reply. I took a look at the wikipedia page about him, and one the one hand it says that he was convicted as per article 58, but on the other hand that he was not convicted as a political. I find this a bit contradictory (quoting wikipedia): "After this, Mosolov traveled voluntarily to the Turkmen and Uzbek republics to collect folk songs as a form of rehabilitation. His attempts were unsuccessful, and he was arrested on November 4, 1937, for alleged counter-revolutionary activities under Article 58, Paragraph 10 of the Soviet criminal code and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag.[9][14] He served in the prison from December 23, 1937, until August 25, 1938. Glière and Myaskovsky had sent a letter to Mikhail Kalinin, the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, arguing for Mosolov's release citing his turn towards realism, his "outstanding creative ability," and the fact that neither teacher had seen in Mosolov any anti-Soviet disposition. On July 15, 1938, Mosolov's sentence was commuted to a five-year exile-he could not live in Moscow, Leningrad, or Kiev until 1942.[15] His quick release, having only served eight months of his eight-year sentence, was possible because he had been imprisoned not on political charges but on an overblown accusation of "hooliganism" brought by Mosolov's enemies in the Composers' Union."
@@tonyrothman Thus to continue, I am not really sure about what to make of this. Of course, as you noted, he was condemned as one of the many "anti-Soviet formalists" (or similar), but on the other, his release is not in line with how things used to work back then, Glière and Myaskovsky notwithstanding.
@@tonyrothman Also thanks for the link. I didn't really hear anything that specifically indicates the accusations leveled against him, but of course there is no doubt that he was very much out of favour after the 20s (like the avantgardisty in general), and that his situation deteriorated dramatically until his arrest.
