Chausson is a composer I've yet to reconcile with for myself. My first introduction to him was through his piano works, which I found uninspiring though pleasant, but some years later I gave my ear to his choral works and found them excellent. I'm still not sold on all of his works, but this symphony is certainly a strong champion of his obvious skill and inspiration, even if composition came with some difficulty to him, in his own words. It is an unusual work in it's structure, one that fools the listener into thinking they're in for a heroic finale but instead going into a much more subdued and charming fugal feel.
One aspect of this Symphony I love is the lush harmonic language; it seems some film composers would have found it highly attractive ! Bartje, another great post !
@@hectorbarrionuevo6034 I agree with you. This symphony sounds like a textbook romantic piece, It has a lot of influences but does not have a distinctive style. These work have been an inspiration for many film music composer, that's for sure! :)
Wow. I took this comment lightly at first. And quite foolishly, consequently. INCREDIBLE. And to be so "relatively unknown" as a composer... heart-wrenchingly sorrowful. The brass-work aesthetically rivals Sibelius; the strings, ethereal. I... am truly humbled by this work of art.
I'm always looking for a good excuse to listen to the Chausson symphony again, and seeing it pop up in my subscription feed this morning is as good a reason as any! Love this piece!!
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und fein komponierten Sinfonie mit gut phrasierten doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!
Amédée-Ernest Chausson (1855 - 1899) was a French Romantic composer who died just as his career was beginning to flourish. Born in Paris into an affluent bourgeois family, Ernest Chausson was the sole surviving child of a building contractor who had made his fortune assisting Baron Haussmann in the redevelopment of Paris in the 1850s. To please his father, Chausson studied law and was appointed a barrister for the Court of Appeals, but had little or no interest in the profession. He frequented the Paris salons, where he met celebrities such as Henri Fantin-Latour, Odilon Redon, and Vincent d'Indy. Before deciding on a musical career, he dabbled in writing and drawing. In 1879, at the age of 24, he began attending the composition classes of Jules Massenet at the Paris Conservatoire; Massenet came to regard him as "an exceptional person and a true artist". Chausson had already composed some piano pieces and songs. Nevertheless, the earliest manuscripts that have been preserved are those corrected by Massenet. At the Conservatoire, Chausson also studied with César Franck, with whom he formed a close friendship that lasted until Franck's death in 1890. Chausson interrupted his studies in 1881, after a failed attempt to win the Prix de Rome. During 1882 and 1883, Chausson, who enjoyed travel, visited Bayreuth to hear the operas of Richard Wagner. On the first of these journeys, Chausson went with d'Indy for the premiere of Wagner's Parsifal, and on the second trip he went with his new spouse Jeanne Escudier (1862-1936), with whom he was to have five children. From 1886 until his death in 1899, Chausson was secretary of the Société Nationale de Musique. In his own home (22 Boulevard de Courcelles, near Parc Monceau), he received a great many eminent artists, including the composers Henri Duparc, Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy, and Isaac Albéniz, the poet Stéphane Mallarmé, the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev, and the Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Chausson also assembled an important collection of paintings. (Source Wikipedia)
WHAT A SCORE!!!!!
Todo un poema de sinfonía, grande Chausson.
A really good composer who deserves more recognition !

This orchestration starts out so beautiful.... wow!

"it seems some film composers would have found it highly attractive"
Why?
Hello, the evocative quality of some passages, the dramatic passages, and the harmony, at times, reminded me of some film music ...

high quality writing and compositional technique, great discovery!
That slow movement is wonderful!

thank you for introducing me to a new piece!

Me too. Not an ideal interpretation, bit listless at times, slow movement excellent though.
Ein Meisterwerk!
A very very great piece
21:24 The opening of the finale is undefeated.
