    I love Poulenc. He is the only composer whose music makes me laugh (I mean this in the best possible way, his jokes are much funnier than Haydn's) and he can also make me immensely sad. This concerto has the best of him I think.

      I completely agree. The changes in direction are a tad giddying at times but it makes for a rollercoaster of a piece which absolutely hits a prime sweet spot so far as my taste is concerned. You should try it set to Liam Scarlett's ballet, Asphodel Meadows, which takes it to yet another level.

    Having visited Bali multiple times over the past 35 years I can hear so much Gamelan influence here in the first movement. Love how he marries that with western music. A most beautiful piece. Inspired.

    • @treesny
      @treesny 4 года назад +11

      Gamelan was also an influence in Hindemith's great Sonata for Two Pianos, and also in several works by Benjamin Britten, notably The Prince of the Pagodas (ballet) and Death in Venice (opera). Poulenc's ability to absorb many different kinds of music and make something uniquely his out of all the influences was extraordinary.

    • @peter-andrepliassov4489
      @peter-andrepliassov4489 10 месяцев назад

      Another good example of western composers being influenced by gamelan is the piece "Pagodes" by Debussy.

  • @timcollins5349
    @timcollins5349 Год назад +6

    I truly love the context Poulenc reveals here in his obvious experience with the history of piano repertoire and his ability to find a contemporary response to the place of France in the world of classical music in 1932. Whilst being still stylistically conservative there is endless personal wit, grace, style and fun in this work. He was right in sensing he was entering the period of greatness and self awareness in the composing of this work. So smashing to hear the composer with lifelong friend/ colleague together in this recording. A true delight!

    As with some other Poulenc's pieces, this one shows his reverence and irreverence (sort of his "Saint" and "sinner" duel personality). I love that about him. Another trait is his use of short phrases and strong, frequent cadences. That sometimes bothers me but, heck, I love his music. As always, thanks for the upload. I'm so grateful for your hard work.

    This is wonderful It's fascinating to hear the echoes of Mozart; and I also hear direct quotes of his (later) sextet for piano & winds, or rather, the sextet feels like a translation or variation of this piece for the smaller ensemble. There are not just direct quotes of motifs, but also the sequences of harmonies and tempi are similar. I would love to see a direct comparison. Thank you for posting both!

    • @treesny
      @treesny Год назад +2

      The dates of composition usually given for the two pieces are actually somewhat misleading. The Concerto for Two Pianos was written in 1932; the original version of the Sextet dates from 1931-32 (and was premiered 1n 1933). However, Poulenc was not happy with the Sextet, and in 1939 revised it, though apparently the overhaul was a matter of form and organization, not of the actual musical content; 1939 is the date usually assigned to the piece. So the two works were actually conceived contemporaneously, and it's not surprising that they bear a family resemblance.

      It is exactly people like you who Poulenc is mocking and poking fun at ! Hahaha those who naïvely , arrogantly think they know it all. Congrats Poulenc! Job well done! Gets right under the purist mule's skins!!! 😂😂😂😂 With love and peace 🕊️❤😜

    Viene quasi da pensare che la perfezione d'eloquio raggiunta da Mozart nella sua breve vita, finisse per dare sui nervi a molti fra neoclassici e simili!...
    Non è certo questo il caso di Poulenc, il quale invece non esita a porre nel mezzo di tanti apporti eterogenei, molte personali note sensibili... In tanti non esiterebbero a parlare di animuccia sentimentale... Quest'animuccia però, bisognerebbe riflettere, ebbe il coraggio di porsi impertinentemente di fronte alla magniloquenza di Wagner e dei post-romantici...
    Io trovo una certa sincerità d'espressione, rara nel panorama neoclassico, magari rannicchiata sorridente fra le pieghe di una graffiante ironia demistificatoria...
    Forse il salisburghese (e non genericamente il suo tempo) rappresentavano quest'ancora di salvezza per Poulenc?!?...
    Molte grazie e molti complimenti per aver postata questa pregevole edizione di questa bella e sorridente opera!

    末樂章的最後一個樂段之前的鋼琴旋律非常浪漫,但緊接著的最後樂段卻變得離譜,難道不能用相同曲風完成?可能想換成另一種表現手法或有其他什麼用意
