A deep emotion grew into my soul , and it was the time of supreme bliss . 🍎 From effulgent Tokyo in profound Japan Which national are you watching this video ？
From a quiet corner of the English countryside where the May blossom is blooming prolifically this year. May blossom is to me what cherry blossom is to the the Japanese. Thank you for liking my favourite English composer.
Un jeu très juste, des cordes parfaitement "à la note", ce qui est rare et le cas contraire rend parfois les partitions de RVW inaudibles; l' Alto est difficile à jouer, ici il est très proprement joué, donc avec clarté authenticité et profondeur. Je ne saurais parler techniquement de la partition, cependant, dans cette restitution présente, l' esprit de RVW me semble pertinent et juste; L' alto est extrêmement bien enregistré, une matière sonore ample et généreuse qui donne le contrepoint à cette partition déjà si contemporaine, donc qui ne peut s' écouter à mon sens qu' avec un instrument de grande qualité et un instrumentiste précis comme un horloger. l' altiste nous offre aussi un jeu chaud et délicat. les parti- pris de l' ensemble sont peut être, pour d' autres oreilles que les miennes, discutables..., il y a là un recul que je ne possède pas ici, mais tout est à mon sens très cohérent, justifiable et élégant. C' est ici un rare exemple de cette aisance technique de l' alto.
The violin cadenza in the last movement is very reminiscent of "The Lark Ascending." Here are some very approximate tempos: 1. Prelude, half = 48 2. Scherzo, half = 120 (yes I know 7/4 isn't divisible into half notes, but that's the tempo) 3. Alla Sarabanda, Lento ma non troppo, quarter = 46 4. Burlesca, Allegro moderato quarter = 84, poco piu mosso quarter = 124, Andante quarter = 64, Presto quarter = 144, Andante quarter = 80.
+Lisa Truman the middle line is middle C. the alto clef is also known as a "moveable C" clef, since it exists in multiple versions all on different lines. Cello and trombone also use this type of clef, though it indicates the 4th line as being middle C (called a "tenor clef").
The Phantasy Quintet was written in 1912 not 1935. Twenty three years is a big margin. In your place I'd want to take this down and upload a corrected version.
ROTPETER Thanks for your kind remarks. Your comment is unfair since, if my suggestion had been taken up the corrected version would still be there for you to enjoy.
Isn't it just sad how a perfectly justified comment evokes name-calling and so on these days? Would you say the same things into his face? And this is just classical music, where you expect at least reasonably educated people...
Hello Nikos, I would suggest perhaps the Andante (Landscape or 1st movement) of Pavel Hass' string quartet No. 2 and the Andante molto sostenuto of Erwin Schulhoff' string quartet No. 1. I find them both amazing and bewitching.
Colin what is the villa clef called in the Fantasy Quintet? What is its significance? I can read music both treble and bass clefs but I am unfamiliar with the middle clef.
it's an Alto, or c-clef. it has middle c at the middle line. I learned to read it when I did music theory and now I use the knowledge for playing viola :) I also play violin and piano so I know all the clefs used here
+Lisa Truman The alto clef? Technically, no. But in practice, it is likely to be the case. Why? Because other instruments that play in this range either have such a limited compass that they don't need a way to reduce the use of ledger lines OR because the instrument is a transposing instrument and Middle C is already moved by using a standard treble clef and instructing the player (reader) to play x number of notes lower. Clear as mud?
So a clef and staff was created that catered to the range of a particular instrument or family of instruments. Middle C is a convention particular to the treble/bass clef nomenclature. For instance the different ranges of clarinets, saxaphones, flute/piccolo, and double reeded instruments. I speak of woodwinds as I am somewhat familiar with them as I am the piano and handbells. It would seem that this clef would be irrevelant to either piano or handbells. I am little familiar with either brass or stringed instruents as far as how the music is writtten for them.
Most composers have their "signatures"; Vaughn Williams is no different. But when you write music as beautifully evocative as his why change? I think this particular work has some elements of Ravel's influence, however, which is gorgeous.
Vaughan Williams' 'fingerprint' is instantly recognisable and this, as it does with other composers, distinguishes him from those others. That said, he was very experimental (as +Chris Keech states, try the 4th Symphony or, indeed, the 9th) and showcased many instruments, in a solo vein (harmonica and tuba spring to mind), which would not, ordinarily, find a place in the concert repertoire. To my ears, his symphonies are amongst the most varied and challenging of any composer and are always provoking - a good thing, no? Yes, RVW is recognisable and that's the beauty, only his music has his unmistakable signature. The "sound the same" argument could be thrown at Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart or Rachmaninov - would we seriously consider these composers to be derivative or any the less noteworthy (please pardon the pun!)? Another British composer who had an unmistakable fingerprint? John Barry. Yes, his music is written for a different audience but, like RVW, he found his 'signature' and, in so doing, made his mark on the musical world.... as did RVW.
I've loved this man's works for the last 42 years, and it only gets better. This is magnificent.
These melodic and harmonic ideas are totally Vaughn Willams, just thank heavens he took orchestration lessons from Ravel, the orchestration master.
Thank you for NO ADVERTS! I can listen in peace without wading through some noisy ad! Thank you!
unfortunately, I had an intrusive commercial between each movement. but the music is sublume!

Undeniably charming. One of my favorite chamber works. Thank you for posting this gem.
another masterpiece from this grand composer underrated by those modernist in the Boulez camp
+vincent stuart
I heard that Boulez has at last admitted that there will never be a time when the post-boy wends his way up the street while whistling tone-rows from Schoenberg's greatest hits.
Indeed sir You speak the truth!!!!!!

Boulez was a great admirer of Vaughan Williams. He planned on doing a complete cycle of the symphonies but died recording only three.
Thank you for such a beautiful concert and excellent sound quality. made my day.
Thanks very much for uploading this piece. Its charm is undeniable, especially in the burlesque.
I really enjoy this! My schoolmates and I are rehearsing the second part of this quintet these days and we are going to give the performance tomorrow. I hope more Chinese can get to know about the composer and this music!
It was published in 1912. But thanks for uploading, I didn't have this one.
I love this entire quintet but my favorite part is 11:51 - 12:51!
Agreed
I do like that part, but I will have to say that my favorite part is all of it ;)
I love the Sarabanda so much!
+Bernd Wang οh yes my friend
Another masterpiece by the great master!
Exceptionally useful for rehearsal in advance of playing with friends - many thanks!
11:51- my favourite bit. Burlesca itself also has to be my favourite!

This is actually the Maggini Quartet recording, with Garfield Jackson. Not the Endellion. Just FYI.

Gotcha! It makes lots of sense. So now, what notes are the lines and spaces? Is it a "splice" between the bass and treble clefs?
+Lisa Truman the middle line is middle C.

Cello and trombone also use this type of clef, though it indicates the 4th line as being middle C (called a "tenor clef").
aha! Thank you for your response. So if I have this correct - from the top line down on the lines the notes are G, E, C, A, F? All around middle C.

Does anyone know where the opening Cello solo in the final movement ends?
Is the Burlesca quoting Cornysh's 'Ah Robin', does anyone know?
wow.
This is not the Endellion Quartet , but the Maggini Quartet with Garfield Jackson, right ?
Wait, so Britten has the Phantasy Quartet, Vaughan Williams has the Phantasy Quintet...
Anyone up for writing the Phantasy Sextet?
Eugene Goossens wrote a Phantasy Sextet
@@EmilianoManna Ooh, I missed that one.
Phantasy Septet then?
@@klop4228 Mel Bonis wrote a Septuor-Fantaisie... close enough
@@EmilianoManna If we're counting it, then we need a Phantasy Octet.
Now I think about it, I don't know of a Phantasy Trio or Duet either.
Can anyone recommend some lesser known works (chamber or orchestral) with similar dreamy harmony as the first movement?
hello. Try Delius, Bax and specially Olivier Maessien - the "Quatour pour la fin du temps". Warning - not an easy work but a masterpiece .
Hello Nikos, I would suggest perhaps the Andante (Landscape or 1st movement) of Pavel Hass' string quartet No. 2 and the Andante molto sostenuto of Erwin Schulhoff' string quartet No. 1. I find them both amazing and bewitching.
Medtner's 3rd violin sonata and quintet.
Fauré 2nd piano quintet and piano trio
Have a taste of Paul Hindemith's Trauermusik.

It is 2 violins, 2 violas and 1 'cello.
