thank you for sharing this wonderful suite from Mr. Glazunov. several years ago, I decided to make a transcription for string orchestra in order to performe the piece in my hometown. And fortunately we did my director and fellow musicians were thrilled and excited, that was a delightful evening. It's extraordinary how the composer put the voices in a very fashioned way so every single voice can be heard and not sound too much crowded. And the style of each movement differe from old suite forms (dance like forms). specially the scherzo II. then the absolutely brilliant theme and variations ending with the fantastic 'Alla Pollaca'. and such a beautiful 'Waltz' at the end. GRACIAS MAESTRO GLAZUNOV. you are a gift to the heart. and a cherished son of the music. And thankyou again Bartje. listening and watching this score remainded me how lucky we are to be musicians. we hear the sound of the world so differently from others.. PD. if you want the parts for string orchestra version just send me you e mail adress.
@@insight827 Hello, in response to your question, NO my orchestration is based on a series of videos uploaded on youtube by Hyup string orchestra, from Korea conducted by JH. Lee 11 years ago, I first discovered this piece through these videos, I loveded them and decided to write a transcription for our orchestra, just watching the video and makeing sure the notes were not alterated, and watching where the cello was doubled by the contrabass, that by the way are pretty much the same as the cello part with some differences. here are the links if your interested on knowing this vesion: INTRODUCTION & FUGE.- ruclips.net/video/C_ufVyWeIgw/видео.html SCHERZO.- ruclips.net/video/JNeIB7Z33mI/видео.html ORIENTALE.- ruclips.net/video/RpcXRMjsR9c/видео.html TEMA.

Beautiful piece of this composer only known most of the time by his violin concerto. The two string quartets of his elder Borodin must surely have inspired him (see passages in harmonics of the 1st quartet in particular and the beginning of the second quartet) Many thanks to Théodore Servin for the precious timing and to Bartje Bartmans for uploading. Magnifique pièce de ce compositeur seulement connu la plupart du temps par son concerto pour violon. Les deux quatuors à cordes de son aîné Borodine ont dû sûrement l'inspirer ( Cf. les passages en harmoniques du 1er quatuor notamment et le début du deuxième quatuor) Un grand merci à Théodore Servin pour le minutage si précieux et à Bartje Bartmans pour la mise en ligne.
if you want to know more about glazunov and his remarkable abilities (including having a perfect ear, and being able to play a symphony that he's just heard at the piano), check out shostakovich's biography/autobiography/extended interview "Testimony", where shostakovich reminisces at length about glazunov. he was an alcoholic who drank during lessons, and yet maintained his amazing memory. and an interesting character all around.
@@qwertyuiop-ke7fs I'm not a communist. Neither was stalin, for that matter. Also, Testimony takes quotes from previous interviews verbatim, and the sole "proof" of it's authenticity is a handful of signatures which only appear on the least controversial pages. I'm not saying Shostakovich wasn't critical of stalin's russia, I think that is fairly clear. I'm just saying that testimony is perhaps not the insight we thought it was.
This time crying because I will never compose something this amazing. Now I've spent 4 years studying tonal harmony at university and I am even more in awe of these composers than I was before starting. What skill! We're lucky this genus shared the planet with us. Particularly love how playful the scherzo is :)
Gorgeous. I never hear anything by Glazunov without thinking, "I really must listen to that again!" Many thanks for the upload and for the very revealing and carefully synchronised transcription are due to you, Mr Bartmans.
Tremendously helpful to have this lovely work available with the score. I am preparing my part for an amateur play-through, and this is invaluable. Many thanks!
Belle prise de son et mix.. belle interprétation beau vibrato sur la fin mais au début j aurai préféré pas de vibrato.... Bravo et merci pour le partage.. merci beaucoup.one luv
The waltz has an interesting vibe to it, with the little intro and outro. Both are very dialogue-esque. Perhaps a whimsical Russian version of Weber's Invitation to the Dance? Where 2 partners meet each other, dance, and depart on good terms.
Too diverse? The main purposes of having separate mvts is to be diverse, create different sounds, and, to put it bluntly, for the composer to show off. In essence, most works with seperate mvts will have vastly different soundscapes. Especially the later and later you get in music as there is more and more content to cause inspiration.

The Fugue is very interesting. Glazunov is a genius.

The two string quartets of his elder Borodin must surely have inspired him (see passages in harmonics of the 1st quartet in particular and the beginning of the second quartet) Many thanks to Théodore Servin for the precious timing and to Bartje Bartmans

@KNIAZIGOR It was my pleasure! These quartets by Glazunov are really amazing, especially this one.
if you want to know more about glazunov and his remarkable abilities (including having a perfect ear, and being able to play a symphony that he's just heard at the piano), check out shostakovich's biography/autobiography/extended interview "Testimony", where shostakovich reminisces at length about glazunov. he was an alcoholic who drank during lessons, and yet maintained his amazing memory. and an interesting character all around.
testimony's authenticity is dubious, although much can be found online about Shostakovich's views on glazunov
@@insight827 I think there's a recurring pattern that all things critical of Communism are dubious to Communists.
@@qwertyuiop-ke7fs I'm not a communist. Neither was stalin, for that matter.

@@insight827 I suppose if only a real leader had gotten to try real Communism, things would have turned out better for Shostakovich.
@@qwertyuiop-ke7fs Well yes, perhaps only because it's difficult to be as sociopathic a leader as stalin without trying.
Bellissima musica, grazie per aver reso pubblico questo spartito e questa esecuzione....

So glad I listened to all of that, I loved that last piece
What an amazing valse!
Certainly as beautiful as his string quartets.

Tears in my eyes, that I have not heard of this work before!
this piece is such a gem

Continues the mood of Borodin's first quartet. Wonderful.
The waltz has an interesting vibe to it, with the little intro and outro. Both are very dialogue-esque. Perhaps a whimsical Russian version of Weber's Invitation to the Dance? Where 2 partners meet each other, dance, and depart on good terms.
amazing piece!
This is briliant! ❤️
E' un quartetto composto come suite ma come tale secondo me doveva essere numerato.
Interessante e mostra la notevole bravura compositiva di Glazunov.
From 12:37... I'm just speechless.
0:07
7:31
12:35
16:53
28:28
This is great stuff.
The very beginning pulled me out of Glazunov and into Mozart 41 XD
nice thanks
Is it Beethoven i'm hearing in the Scherzo? Love it.
Lots of charming music, but perhaps too diverse to work as a whole. Or is that perhaps the nature of a suite?
Too diverse? The main purposes of having separate mvts is to be diverse, create different sounds, and, to put it bluntly, for the composer to show off.
In essence, most works with seperate mvts will have vastly different soundscapes. Especially the later and later you get in music as there is more and more content to cause inspiration.
That's why it's called 'suite', yeah
❤
特別喜歡浪漫樂派,國民樂派,印象樂派的音樂,因為常常可以聽到好聽的旋律! 但這首錄音好像有點雜音!?
Гоё байнаа
sure there isn't a horn in this recording?
NickB seriously. I’m binging string quartets right now and this sounds off by a couple instruments???
