The andante has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Amazing and deserves to be much more widely heard.
Listen to the first movement of Kallinikov Symphony no.1
WOW. That andante was absolutely SUBLIME. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of post-romanticism of this sort, but I can't deny how brilliant Atterberg was as a melodist and contrapuntist. Truly stunning.
Agreed. The Andante from 10:20 onwards had me traumatized. A beauty out of this world. Unspeakable.
Couldn't agree more!
@@dionbaillargeon4899 so true!
This symphony is truly amazing
Tout simplement immense... L'andante à 10:10 est un des plus grands morceaux de la musique. Sublime
What a fantastic Symphony !!!! The Andante is beautiful, melancholic, colorful, and cinematic; the short Scherzo and the Finale are playful and colorful. Atterberg may have influenced film composers, for he was a great Romantic melodist and orchestral colorist.
0:50 such a wonderful melody, one of my favourite from this marvelous symphonic masterpiece.
5:46 what a beautiful Andante
I used to listen to this and sit in my living room to watch my plants grow, they were healthy plants! I think my plants liked Atterberg's music too !
Did not expect a comment like this after hearing the first minute of the piece.
@@aramkhachaturian8043 Voua avez raison, c'est parce que je suis un musicien français qui aime les boutades¯\_(ツ)_/¯ J'aime cette oeuvre, admirablement illustrée par l'image de ce couple mélancolique..
@@MegaCirse Oui je suis dcr que ce oeuvre tres beau !
Love how you think 🤔
😏@@itsmz827
Couldn't resist another comment...I think the second movement of this symphony must be the most beautiful single movement ever written.
I can't disagree with you there. It makes me cry.
It's certainly beautiful, but it didn't get to me quite like the slow movement of K.A.'s 6th, whose conclusion is breathtaking.
@@teacoffee42 It is utterly stunning, almost like a whole symphony in itself. I have all the Atterberg symphonies on disc but funnily enough I like the 3rd movement of the 2nd symphony best. I love its tension, development and beautiful, soaring climax.
@@teacoffee42 You are so right! Atterberg is incredibly underrated - his symphonies should be playing everywhere! A friend introduced me to them and it was a revelation.
@@teacoffee42 Agree totally with you there. Incredible....
Wow, this has so much melody...!
Wonderful symphony!!!!
Loved this symphony, very interesting to hear it, thank you.
This heroic performance is splendid
Such beautiful, melodic, symphonic music. 1918?! Better late than never, right? Of course right! Thanks for sharing!
That moment that begins at 10:12 in the andante, what is this type of magic
Great symphony, depth and humor... can't deny, the strings/triangle at 19:43 sound like a P.D.Q. Bach touch...
Nice picture as well.
7:52
As its name suggests, this symphony is rather short (20 min.). It is written in a neoromantic style with features peculiar to the composer. It starts in an ardent way, which resolves quickly on melodies played by the English horn and the flute, but a rather cheerful climate remains. At 5.41, a quite different mood and a much slower tempo prevails. The mood is rather mysterious. A splendid andante follows at 10.39. At 12.51, timbals introduce a scherzo-like music. At 15:40 the music becomes lighter, with flutes followed by a English horn, then expressivity is deveoped. At 18:00 the tone becomes more severe, then accelerates in a final long crescendo.
There is no english horn in this piece, only one oboe...
It is actually exactly 20 minutes long because Atterberg and his composer friend had a bet against eachother regarding who could write an exactly 20 minutes long piece, upon Atterberg succeded but his friend didnt.
@@1234monne That is true: Sibelius stopped composing after that bet.
brilliant
No dislikes... That's how I like it.
I had just previously heard Eduard Tubin's 6th Symphony - what a difference! Atterberg's 4th is an antidotal "breath of fresh air"; even though it was composed in the time of WW1, it exudes optimism, unlike Tubin's depiction of doom. It's in the spirit of Sibelius (the "Karelia Suite"), and calls to mind his style, while not copying it. Of Atterberg"s even-numbered symphonies - the only ones I've heard so far - this one is the most beautiful. (The coda, however, seemed somehow awkwardly "tacked on").
+ronald b woodall 'Atterberg's 4th is an antidotal "breath of fresh air"; even though it was composed in the time of WW2...' Is WW2 a typo? It was written in 1918, which was World War 1.
+Channel Fogg Thanks for calling my attention to the error. It was a slip of the mind, or the hand - not sure which.
Stunningly beautiful piece, with wonderful Sibelian (and Mahlerian) influence and lyricism (especially that second movement).
Phil Taylor Please!!! it's Atterberg. why do you make comparisons. He is original in his own right!
My comparisons are valid and are actually a compliment to this great music (originality included). Phil Taylor says "Please" denied!
Phil Taylor Ever heard York Bowen's two symphonies?
No, but I just checked out his Symphony No.1. - liked the first movement, which was charming and delightful, but didn't like the second two - too nondescript and light, lacking gravitas/strong melody. Doesn't grab me like Atterberg, not a patch! I'll give Symphony 2 a try though.
dont know what your tastes are. Where do you Live? Howabout Anthiels Simphonies?
Nice
Danke
good piece
merveilleuse musique douce pleine de poésie
Una hermosa sinfonía de un compositor casi ignoto. Un hermoso movimiento andante, con resonancias de Sibelius (contemporáneo de Atterberg), se ve flanqueado por tres movimientos de clara influencia rusa: pienso en el grupo de los cinco con Borodin, Mussorski y Rimski...
The Finale-Rondo is marked Allegro molto.
Does anyone know the name of this picture/painting?
There is something about it that I like a lot.
The name of the painting is "Nordic Summer Evening" by Richard Bergh.
thank you very much
I'm just guessing, but it looks a lot like Maxfield Parrish. Certainly it's in his style.
+James McKain I followed your consideration of Parrish by looking up his work, having never seen them previously. I love his artwork! Thank you for sharing your thought!
The place is Ekholmsnäs at Lidingö East of central Stockholm, Sweden.
Are you just adding random pictures to the video.....? The atmospheres are completely different!
k
Yeah :/
