Sorry for the somewhat low quality of the recording, but this is literally the only one available!
- Elgar’s Cocai(g)ne;
- Lyapounov’s Hashish;
- Scriabin’s Poem of Ecstasy;
- Glière’s The Red Poppy.
Someone has to continue this honourable list and turn more dope into beautiful music.
Johann Strauss jr. got to the op number of 420.
Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture
Dvorák's The Watergoblin
Saint-Saëns' Phaeton
Tchaikovsky's The Tempest
Janácek's Taras Bulba
Franck's Le Chasseur Maudit
Respighi's Roman Festivals
Strauss' Death and Transfiguration
Sibelius' En Saga
Mendelssohn 'Scotch' Symphony
Beethoven's Fifth
What about the greatest of them all, Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique, written on Opium.
Whenever I hear a piece from Lyapunov that I haven't heard yet, I am stunned as to why he isn't immensely famous.
I know what you mean! I think he was a victim of the generation he was in. After Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, but before Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and Shostakovitch. Sort of the same problem Glazunov had.
Absolutely spot on. You are so right.
Such a prominent composer is so little know in musical world. Thank's for introducing this piece and another compositions of him.
Has a motifs similar to Sherezade - Rimsky Korsakov. I can see the influence. But very good poem.
A nice colorful piece, in bad need of a state-of-the art recording. These old Svetlanov recordings tend to sound rather thin and brassy. The performance is good and
exciting though. Thanks for posting such precious repertoire !
Qué tesoro más hermoso de Música! No puede estar relegada al olvido!!
Gracias por difundir!
His 12 transcendental etudes are well worth listening to. He must have been a formidable pianist.
Como é possível que só agora nos cheguem obras deste compositor ? Merece maior divulgação sem dúvida.
Wow, thanks for posting! Only heard it once, on the radio!
No problem!
Fantastic. Mysterious and exotic like a tale out of 1001 nights.
This musician (1859-1924) was protected by Mili Balakirev, they were both from Nizhny Novgorod. He, therefore, took part in the "Group of Five". He was a virtuoso pianist as his protector. He emigrated to Paris after the Revolution, where he created a music school, but suddenly died shortly after a heart attack. He is buried in Batignolles Cemetery in this city. (Thanks Wikipédia)
lmh92, /He emigrated to Paris after the Revolution/
The revolution was in 1917 but he went to Paris in 1923. and he has never said that he emigrated from Russia. in 1924 he died.
@@sovietclassic5301 I think if you look closely, you'll find that 1923 is in fact after 1917
@@willcwhite , yes, I know. so what? Now is "after revolution" as well
Very similar to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. At around 8:35.
+Timothy Chan It's usual for great composers (and especially when russian) to refer to others :)
+Timothy Chan Yeah! It sounds like the Algerian theme stolen from one of Francisco Salvador Daniel books about Algerian music, and which Rimsky-Korsakov had used it in the 3rd movment of his Sheherazad.
Don't you mean Polovtsian Dances -Borodin?
Wow!... I was working while listening to this and thought I was hearing Glinka!...
Thanks for posting! I only knew this from a 2-piano score I found on imslp which did me little good (even with some good hashish! ;-)
+Eurisko Lontano lol
A marvelous and careful manipulation of materials inflamed by temperate spirits ... There are very few moments when the intensity of what is presented here is imposed at this point !
Exactly what was needed to brighten up a dull day. Beautiful piece full of colour.
I enjoyed listening to this work as had never heard of the composer before.
Thanks
I sampled this dopeness
Here's a piece you literally can "get high" listening to, though I think ol' Lyapunov would have been more pleased if the listener had taken a good hit of hash off a hookah before indulging.
Wonderful music :-)
This is indeed an enjoyable, "fun" work on first hearing, but I think it might wear out its' welcome after a while, even as R-K's "Scheherazade" did for me long ago. Lyapunov has some nice counterpoint here, and of course his wonderful orchestration.
Grazie mille!
Expecting some illegal drugs, was disappointed.
The drugs were probably legal when this was composed. LOL
@@bobfrog4836 hhhhhhhhhhhh😂😂
Delightful Orientalism.
Ouverture suave. Brillante jeu de lames aiguisées
Enchantement du rêve ensoleillé,
Un peu sortilèges
C'est très subtil, et excellence
I LOVE music.
Can someone tell me what's the story of this poem Hashish ? It sounds like a love story, with epic moments, for sure... but I'm curious about the legend it's according to. Thanks.
Hello! Thank you very much. I really need the notes (score) of "Hashish". Do you have it in electronic form? Thanks!
good music is good for the heart and the soul,that is it's reason.
Bert Allen, Suite Marihuana, op. 1 - housed at the Fleisher Collection in Philadelphia (he was gonna write some more but then he got high)
Were does one find a copy of the poem that inspired this piece? I can't find it anywhere on the net.
Excellent music, who is painting background?
beautiful!
Does anyone know what painting that is?
Can anyone identify the painting?
Probably one of Frederick Arthur Bridgeman's paintings of an Algerian Garden.
Do you have a list ??
ilong for my water - pipe now,,
Dommage que la prise de son dans les fff soit cacophonique. Cette partition ne manque pas d'intérêt et contient de belles choses...

He wasn't - and still isn't - famous because he came too late.

, there were hundredns of good Russian composers. but only several of them are known on the west. look up vid "top 30 Russian composers", I am sure you have never heard about 4/5 of them
f1f1s Don't forget Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy
I guess I get the idea of the piece but it's horrible to me, nonetheless
