Music genius clearly runs in the family

Great performance and great conducting as well!

Bravooooo00000

Wonderful symphonic concert ❤

Fascinated by this

Why is there so many dorks in the comments? "Wow so beautiful❤" Wth no not beautiful im here cuz my shitty school is making me learn this

I didn’t listen to this version in full, a professional recording does this piece justice. Genuinely one of Prokofiev’s coolest experimental pieces. Loved it. Very soundtracky

Just wonderful! I wanted to be a timpanist in Junior High School...alas, the school traded the tympani for a bunch of string instruments. In my dreams I was Nikolaus... I also enjoyed the expressions from other orchestra members while you performed.

Nice drum

Nice bass & drum

Bro why did they clap there??? 1:27

Whomsoever clapped at 1:23, shame.

When i first heard about the existence of this solo piece in a short documentation about it on TH-cam, I was hyped. But it has huge flaws (the piece, not this particular performance, although either the microphone quality or my speakers arent ideal for the bass). Firstly, its way too experimental, maybe useful for a horror film, but not a joy to listen to. Sometimes i thought that somebody made a mistake until that weird note repeated multiple times. But mostly, when a piece of music demands that everything has to stand still for several minutes (!) while the Soloist prepares his mallets and other tools (with help from others!), it is just poor orchestration.

HOLY SHIT THERE IS A BASS DRUM CONCERTO. WTF

Impressive!

Drum horn combo is my favourite..

Somebody wrote a drum concerto!

34:22

One person, on a set of 5 = 32, 29, 26, 23 and 20 inches in diameter. Two mallets per hand rolling on 4 different drums, the constant tuning, glissando rolls, and dramatic movements between drums is amazing. It certainly makes the orchestra so much more dramatic, especially the loud passages.

LOL I saw drums and Prokofiev and I was like "WTH!".

Clapin' ass... SMH

Ну и херня

What is the name of this instrument?

gogogoggogoogog

ummmm

come 0n

ok?

wow

I've never seen, or heard, anything quite like this but I like it. It demonstrates how flexible a bass drum can be.

I think it's ingenious. 👍👍

Sounds like movie soundtrack and very tense maybe background for Hitchcock type suspense. Reminds me of Holst Mars that opens the Planets. problem I see is no break in the tension. Yes music can have tension but not relaxing to have almost constant tension with almost no break. Kind of need stress with alternating quiet parts. Too stressful in today's world with high stress did NOT like partially destroying the bass drum. Was that intentional? Imagine a violinist destroying a Stradivarius violin! Terrible end but guess in recording we would not see that. Music does not have to relax but make statements and I heard no relief from stress at all. Guess if I buy the saxophone concerto I would get this but might shut off CD and not play it very much. Even Rite of Spring still wild today but it does have some tension relief in it. I do like his violin concerto. I like percussion concerto better on marimba or xylophone since they have different notes. Not really my thing but is music just no much needed relief until it ends

I get both Frank Zappa and Basil Poledouris vibes! I love it.

I think it's good. It's always important to deviate from the norm sometimes and think outside the box. This has fantastic tension. Music is an emotional extension and it's okay to use discordance to express things like panic and anxiety and confusion. Like this is what raw fear sounds like in orchestra form. This is what beating your fists bloody on the door with righteous furry sounds like. Those are real feeling people have and it's interesting to hear someone put sound to it.

dear niko,pls complety music song pagebluk artis of alib ba ta....this song is beautiful..but not complet maybe you want to colabrated

reminded me of princess monoke soundtrack

extremely musical.

What was he doing with his life when he made this piece?

Very inspiring, this dude is a dark lord of the drum. Im shocked at how amazing this was.

why

You know what... I like it

9:00, the bass drum said I am painful

THIS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY PROJEST THX

This is not music.

I just don’t get it, sorry. Too experimental

Wtf was that

I dont get why people hate on this so much, its sperimental, have you ever seen a bass drum as protagonist? No. And like musically speaking its a niece piece

interesting

Crammed full of gimmicks and 20 minutes too long. The willful destruction of the instrument at the conclusion is utterly ridiculous.
