    Dynamic composition with uplifting emotional expression at times the listener feels tense. An elaborate virtuosity performance.

      I'm not surprised, what a challenge. I hope it all went well. But you must have learnt so much playing this. I've played timpani in 3 public performances and it's an amazing composition.

    An undeniable masterpiece by the much underrated and under performed Martinu. You can really feel the anguish in his heart from what was happening all around him and especially in his beloved Czechoslavakia. Do i detect the DSCH motive at the end of the slow movement?
    This should be heard much more along with his fine symphonies, the Frescos and the Parables.

      Yes, DSCH.

      @@egon4593 Coincidence, surely? Is there any evidence that Shostakovich used the motif before his Eighth Symphony of 1943?

    A first for me that, I've never given much attention to Matinu, really really enjoyed this double concerto really involving and profound. Thank you

    Really, one of the best classical pieces reacting to the havoc of war, comparable to works by Shostakovich.

    It's a powerful work, but it is rough. Some strong negative emotions.

      Makes sense, considering the circumstances under which this work was written.

    Who's the pianist? I have a Conifer recording with the same conductor, different orchestra (Brno), Jiri Skovajsa piano, same-length first movement (6:31) (though otherwise different)

      Orchestra Sinfonica Radio Praga
      Conductor: Sir Charles Mackerras
      Soloists: Josef Růžička (piano),
      Jan Bouse (timpani)

    What an absolutely fantastic composition. Give the score to Beyonce and ask her to follow it !!!!!! She's supposed to be a "musician" earning more money than Martinu ever did. How sad is that? The writing here is sublime. What a score!

    Well I think that the timpani deserves more space in this piece. I expected double concerto where both solo instruments actually do something

    • @hawleyparish4787
      @hawleyparish4787 2 года назад +1

      The word “double” in the title refers to the two string orchestras. The piano and timpani, though often (as in this case) wrongly described as “soloists”, are in fact part of the ensemble.

    • @SimonPiano42

      As Hawley said, it's a double concerto for double string orchestra, not for piano and timpani. Piano and timpani are just an added or significant part of the instrumentation.
      If you want a modern concerto where both piano (two of them) and percussion are "concerto parts", try Kapustin's Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion, which is amazing.
