In my humble opinion, one of the greatest orchestral works of the 20th century. It's vividly colourful, as well as challenging (but rewarding) to listen to.
This is one of finest virtuoso masterpieces for orchestra, and requests extraordinary instrumental and conducting technique...Gardner' s rendition is brilliant, clear, with high excitement and most impressive orchestral colour..surely best one I've ever heard !!
First heard this nearly half a century ago as a teenager huddled over a transistor radio in my grandmother's kitchen. It's been one of my favourite pieces ever since and this performance is as good as any I've had the privilege to hear. Many thanks for posting.
I have played it in an other orchestra a couple of months ago and still keep listening to this exact performance afterwards, such outstanding quality, gives me goosebumps everytime. As well as I always keep thinking that such a music could be only composed by somebody who survived WWII in eastern Europe... just listen to the trompets in 3rd movement..
I took this work for granted for many years, preferring not only Lutoslawski's earlier First Symphony but also the later masterpieces (Livre, Third Symphony, etc.). But suddenlyI have a new appreciation for it. What a masterpiece, and a crowd-pleaser. And what an anchor from which to approach all other works of this great, great composer.
I. Intrada. Allegro maestoso 0:18 II. Capriccio Notturno e Arioso. Vivace 7:25 III. Passacaglia, Toccata e Corale. Andante con moto -- Allegro giusto 13:37
Yes, but it is composed of three subsections; passacaglia / toccata / corale. It must be noted that Lutoslawski perfectly knows how to create seamless movements with diffierent subsections. This can be observed in his entire work.
This concerto for orchestra could bear the influence of Bartok's one. Lutoslawski understood that danger. He had to make something new. The score is firmly articulated and fully original. The conductor takes care of any detail. This is a great rendition. A conductor should have the idea to interpret the two pieces in the same concert.
one of my early ( teen years) exposures to orchestral music was a vinyl LP with Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra on one side and Lutoslawski's on the other. I can not think of a better place to begin with these two great voices.
There are many traces leading to Bartók: folk melodies as base material, special orchestral effects using brass in some sections and percussion as well, rhythmic richness, mix of modal, tonal and more sharp harmony, and wild contrasts in orchestral texture. But nevertheless it's highly original work indeed. True masterpiece of Lutoslawski's first period.
Many composers have written a "Concerto for Orchestra" to show off their skill at orchestration and/or to highlight the sections of a virtuoso ensemble such as this, but Lutoslawski's, I believe, stands with Bartok's as the finest, most representative, and most effective of the genre; and this performance of it, needless to say, does it full justice.
This really is one of the great orchestral works of the 20th century, set apart from, not dwarfed by, that of Bela Bartok. May it become an enduring piece in the symphonic musical canon, and hold a place as standard repertoire for many orchestras.
listen Dvorak 3rnd Movement of Symphony nr. 7 and 4th movement of Symhopny nr. 8 + his symphonic poems namely Vodník and Polednice + overture "Karneval" from the same composer + Symphony for Orchestra from Lutoslawsky, and - in my opinion - you will experience the best what was written in the genre of "concerto for the orchestra" ;-)
Some timpanists really buy into the whole ego thing of "I'm LEADING the orchestra." So they rush and damn the rest if they don't follow. Ensemble in this performance across the board isn't super hot especially in mvmt 2. C'mon Gardner! Work them.
Достаточно предсказуемые ходы! Как студенческая работа, хорошо! Но, для современного композитора хотелось бы новаторства и интересных поворотов, как в гармонии так и в форме! Исполнение хорошее!
How can you possibly hope to compare the two? Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra was a 'Good-bye'. Lutoslawski's was a 'Hello' Your value judgment sounds American. Tell me I'm incorrect!
@@sethoflagos2880 how can you (seemingly) condemn comparison, then go ahead & compare (especially in such an absolutely reductionist manner)? your value judgement sounds sentimental...
@@jwc3o2 Because a 62-year-old man writing his final masterpiece is older than a 37-year-old writing his first? Not clear on why you think that this may be a subjective ('sentimental') point of view rather than a simple numerical fact.
@@sethoflagos2880 gotcha but i still find the hello/goodbye ascriptions emotional/subjective over numerical/objective &, no matter how you look at it, comparative (with which there's nothing inherently wrong) after as much as stating "the two" can't be compared (without there even have been a specified - only assumed - comparison work).

Ce compositeur est sans conteste l'un des plus virtuoses du 20ème siècle. Merci encore.

This work is such pure genius I have to revisit it again to know there is good in this world.
Absolutely beautiful piece
Fills me with the wonder of music

There are many secions of his work that is a homage to Bartok's Concerto.

I agree. I would even say. That in the genre of "concerto for orchestra" the Lutoslawsky's the best!
this is slower than some other recorded version, Gardner and all the orchestra members becomes Lutoslawski! This is the best version.
Lutosławski aimed to put the fun back into playing for the musicians. I look at these musician and I think he has succeeded.
indeed, it is clear Gardner understands Lutoslawski's intent, and the Orchestral could not agree more
favorite concerte pour orchestre
thank you for the music and channel..always very nice...:)
Arcydzieło totalne, pogromca
Yes, one hears the influence of Bartok but only an influence. This is a totally individual work which certainly stands on its own!!
Principal Flute is magnificent!!
Awesome!
Ive Heard this today live in NFM Wrocław, such a wonder!!
Great job
Lutoslawski Koncert!!!

Superb ! a natural successor to Bartok !
Indeed, or Stravinsky.
What an underrated genius.
i discovered lutoslawski due to covid19! 🌝
Good old Lutoslawski !
Is that me or the sound mixing is wrong?... I mean, strings, woodwinds and brass have both channels flipped...
It's mono.
@@nightjaronthegate It's not mono
Wonderful to see all the interplay in a live performance.The 2ndmov feels like a political statement about power&groups.
1964/5? Caird Hall, Dundee, Scottish National Orch., and a youthful Colin Davis. This work made such an impression!
listen Dvorak 3rnd Movement of Symphony nr. 7 and 4th movement of Symhopny nr. 8 + his symphonic poems namely Vodník and Polednice + overture "Karneval" from the same composer + Symphony for Orchestra from Lutoslawsky, and - in my opinion - you will experience the best what was written in the genre of "concerto for the orchestra" ;-)
ZDF Magazin Royal!
So ist es! 😉
Try Lutoslawski's later music, the Cello Concerto, 3rd Symphony, Piano Concerto, 4th Symphony. Yummy!
I love this music for more than 30 years.
A pity that at the beginning the timpanist rushes so much! The rest is just great.

Is that really an Eb flute?!? They haven't been manufactured for 40 years! The only flute I don't own

Ed Gardner - he's a haughty culturalist.
Head Gardener - he's a horticulturalist (in case anyone thought I was serious).

Ein bisschen komplizierte Leistung dieses anspruchsvollen Konzertes.
Ich habe den Kommentar jetzt dreimal gelesen: was genau meinen Sie damit?
Konduktor look like for prezidents pUTIN assistent pESKOV :)
Глупость! Как равнять врача с психбольным.
😂😂😂
ale gniecie
Niczym dobre skuńsko zza winkla
It is very hard to write great music. This is an interesting, skillful piece but Bartok has him beat by a mile.
Note it is Luto's early style, not that unically original as the later one :D
How can you possibly hope to compare the two?
Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra was a 'Good-bye'.
Lutoslawski's was a 'Hello'
