Qui connait Albert ROUSSEL? quelle merveille ! Un condensé de DE !BUSSY Ravel Fauré et les prémisses de Stravinsky !!! Mon Dieu que cette musique est belle !
Une symphonie représentative de la deuxième période de Roussel. A l'impressionnisme concret fait place un pointillisme abstrait. Il n'empêche que le deuxième mouvement m'a toujours fait penser à une promenade en vélo sur la digue avec un moment d'arrêt pour contempler l'océan. Mais c'est personnel. C'est ma symphonie préférée des quatre.
I ride my bike on the sea wall. I run over a fragment of sea shell. My tire goes flat. I do not know how to change a tire. I toss the bike into the sea. It was a cheap piece of crap, anyway. I walk home and get drunk.
Where Debussy gets inspiration perhaps from looking out at the sea, Roussel's inspiration seems to come from experiencing the physical nature of the sea.

Tolles Stück. Erinnert mich in einigen Einzelheiten an Debussys "Nocturnes", ist aber dennoch sehr eigenständig. Roussel wird viel zu wenig gespielt....
This is a neglected masterpiece, somewhat ahead of its time and after Roussel had shaken off his Debussy influences. There remain elements of Ravel's use of woodwind but this beautifully balanced symphony seems to look ahead to some of the 'angst' works of the 1930s which appeared in Britain, the USA, some Nordic states and Switzerland during WW2. Roussel was mainly an abstract composer in his mature years (too few of them) and his musical career followed service in the French navy, mainly in French Indo-China and other exotic places. Though over service age in WW1, he volunteered as an ambulance driver. After resigning from the navy and settling with his wife in his home area on the Franco-Belgian border, Roussel became a noted conservatoire lecturer and counted Varese, Honegger, Satie and Martinu among his pupils. Despite sources such as Brittanica describing Roussel as "an impressionist composer" he was not except in early commissions for stage and his abstract legacy may be heard most in Honegger and Martinu. His later years were attenuated by poor health but family and friends suggested 'downsizing' his fertile ideas towards chamber and piano music, which could perhaps be revised for orchestra when his health improved. In this sense there is a parallel with Charles Ives who was in a similar predicament an ocean and there is a possibility (W Mellers) that the men corresponded via Carl Ruggles and his wife, who were painters and Carl put music second. It is known that American art exhibitions were held in Paris and Brussels between the world wars. Unfortunately Roussel's health continued to decline and he died in 1937 just after his 68th birthday. Great works of his final decade include his only string quartet and a rather deep string trio.
David Hurwitz mentioned this as an unjustly neglected work in the repertoire. He sure nailed it. Beautiful and interesting.
Une oeuvre magnétique, aussi étrange que mystérieuse. Merci.
Qui connait Albert ROUSSEL? quelle merveille ! Un condensé de DE !BUSSY Ravel Fauré et les prémisses de Stravinsky !!! Mon Dieu que cette musique est belle !
Les prémisses de Stravinsky en 1919 ? Le Sacre du printemps date de 1913.
Quelle oeuvre magnifique ! et quelle interprétation admirable !
Thank you very much for the score. It is a wonderful composition,
This is typically the key score in which Roussel broke totally off a certain level of Debussyst influence to write in a typical style of his own

Superbe description.

This is an outstanding piece of music.
Debussy looks at the water. Roussel becomes one with fish.

Sie haben Recht. Seine Sinfonien sind wunderschön.

Martinu has some context for me now.
Oh, wow! 12:25
Those who ask, do not know. Those who know, do not ask. Yes.
That's all you know.
What a spooky way to start
It has a quite serene coda in last movement. Beautiful. Roussel is unpredictable and that is exactly what I like about his music.
@@bartjebartmans Unpredictability is only a good thing if it's also appealing.
@@darrylschultz6479 Indeed.
I like it.

Symphony by Paul Dukas.
Can you not read the title?
@@GJYYNGII Can't you listen to Paul Dukas' symphony ?
@@JoelLeBras This isn't Dukas though. What's your point?
@@GJYYNGII Please listen to Dukas' one and you'll my "point".
@@JoelLeBras I have listened to his symphony before, yet I still don't see what your point is.
