I've studied music for most of my life and I'm also a multi instrumentalist. (Flute/Oboe/Clarinet/ Trumpet and Cornett) I consider myself a 'clever' little duck when it comes to music in general. But confronted with this score and knowing that this composer had all of it in his head, and then put pen to paper and created this astonishing work of musical art just clearly demonstrates to me how insignificant I am compared to such intelligence. And also the expertise of the musicians who can play it. I'm constantly amazed at what my fellow man is capable of.
8:15 is the prettiest, most delicate, contrasting, heart-warming phrase I have ever heard. Magnificently beautiful musicianship here. Gives me chills every single time.
Although Janacek was born in 1854, which makes him contemporary with Elgar and Mahler, there is no question that he belongs in the 20th century. Much of his most significant music was composed in his last decade. This is the first time I have seen the score of Taras Bulba, and the appearance of it - double #'s and double b's everywhere - is more formidable than its sound.
nice to see and hear that the oboe plays the correct notes in measure 10. Many (nearly all) conductors these days perform from a new edition which has changed that bar and distorted the melody to something which Janacek never wrote. Ondrej Lenard is someone we can all respect.
What about those measure? I don't know what you are asking? My point about m.10 is simply that now there are more recordings being made with wrong notes in the melody which Janacek never wrote, and that is important for people to begin to notice.
+musicophage rex ...Thanks for taking the trouble to reveal the score. The listener learns so much about a composer when the notes and dynamics are laid bare, and it fascinated me to see how economically Janáček achieved his characteristic effects.
George Saliba Not particularly. I think Janacek is one of the most instantly recognisable composers I can think of, and most of his output has clear fingerprints and echoes of his other works. All those insistent ostinati, that you can hear in all of the works that I am aware of. In fact, if anything, the end sounds more like the Sinfonietta to me.
jshaers96 Couldn't agree more. He worked relentlessly on new musical paradigms that reflected his personality, away from the trends of his contemporaries. And you're right, the brass part does sound more like the Sinfonietta, I think it's the strings part that reminded me of the Glagolitic Mass.
Taras (Yul Brynner), Andres (Tony Curtis), Ostap (Perry Lopez)..in the 1962 film epic, that is. Try as I might, I can't get them out of my head. Great score by Franz Waxman. But I digress; Janacek's "Taras" is a world unto itself. LR
Second movement from 11:11-13:11. Melts me. I do not know what struck Janáček's brain at the moment he wrote this down, but it sticks in my soul. Makes me think of the wide, bright blue, Ukrainian skies my ancestors died smiling looking up at.
Après une longue matinée sur les quotidiens politiques, une tasse de thé à la main, ma baie vitrée donnant sur la mer avec les beaux sons de ce mélange en arrière-plan, cette rhapsodie est juste une parfaite conjonction !

un des rares poèmes symphoniques que j'ai adoré dès la première écoute. Tellement simple et original à la fois. Chacun des tableau relate parfaitement chacune des ambiances de mort dans des contextes totalement différents. La mort d'Ostap représente vraiment les vainqueurs qui jouent avec les vaincus comme un chat avec une souris pour bien leur en faire baver avant le massacre final. Et enfin Taras Bulba qui meurt au bûcher emporté sur par la conviction mystique que l'Ukraine zaporète est orthodoxe, donc russe. Vladimir serait-il également fan de ce chef d'oeuvre ?
Janáček is such an underrated composer. He deserves so many more performances. Bravo!

A sensational excitement in Music.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
The ending gives me goosebumps every time.
From the first notes an absolute masterpiece.
Janacek's Taras Bulba is one of those funny, guilty-pleasure pieces, where I have to own a copy of every recording I can find.
8:15 is the prettiest, most delicate, contrasting, heart-warming phrase I have ever heard. Magnificently beautiful musicianship here. Gives me chills every single time.
Yes...it's a strange unanticipated respite....Brilliant!

As usual, Janacek=Masterpiece...thank you!
thankyou - and just great to have the score to follow
Thank you for the score !!!

What about measure 110? 210?
What about those measure? I don't know what you are asking? My point about m.10 is simply that now there are more recordings being made with wrong notes in the melody which Janacek never wrote, and that is important for people to begin to notice.
Thank you!
Good Night Vienna
The Cunning Little Vixen and Synphonietta, also Great.

The segment starting at 17:48 is absolutely breathtaking.
A bit reminiscent of his Glagolitic Mass (especially the Intrada), don't you think?

Queeee curioso que no ejecutara música 😮
19:48 to 24:25. Exhilarating, beautiful, heart-racing, like film music.
Yes, totally heroïc....and then too that interlude at 21:10...the Mastery!
An oddly jolly and upbeat piece for something that appeared in 1918.
I'm in love with the jazzy #9's and Moravian cadences (13ths) during the finale!!
love this music
Such an underrated piece
Not really.
Огромное спасибо.Это же надо,так понять Гоголя.
И в чём же это понимание заключается, позвольте вас спросить?
Это весело, я собирался спросить его тоже !
