Very interesting - but why does TH-cam give me this when my search was for Clarke's 'Poem' for string quartet??

based Rautavaara

A bit impressionistic and Debussy like with the writing and harmonies but very original!

William Walton at his most metal! Loved seeing the full orchestral score alongside the video of this performance. Great job!

Wow man! This is amazingly written!! You just own harmony and formal/narrative-structural balance

This must be one of the most EXTRA pieces I ever heard. It’s sad that it probably will never be performed in my country. It’s not that sad that I can just travel to Britain. But seriously, what the hell qas this allelluia?? I never heard something like it before! Its not really like the endings of mahlers 2nd and 8th, it has this incredible drive and energy and you fell like you’re on a vortex of joy and exultation, moving at an uncontrollable speed towards heaven

Praise Ye the God of BRAAASS!!! He didn’t wast an opportunity

I've been at 3 performances of this work since 1960. This is one of the best BUT once again the last finale is too fast---why must you rush which overlooks some brass accents which are conducted way too rapidly. Oh well, must wait for the next to see if finally someone gets this correct.

This is the best performance I've heard since Eugene Ormandy's with Philadelphia Orchestra back about 1962. Many conductors tend to direct this work way too fast, but this rendition is on target. This work came out in 1938 and cause a stir since it is more like "Choral Drama" set to orchestra...magnificent. Walton also wrote the coronation march for Queen Elizebeth.

Wow!

Wow William Walton was great.

Only just learnt the news, and came straight here - to one of his iconic live recordings, in my opinion. R.I.P. Sir Andrew Davis (2nd February, 1944- 20th April, 2024).

I don't understand most of 20th century music. It seems like these composers have their fair share of nice and beautiful works, but I simply don't get how this is considered good at all. Sure, it may check out on terms of music theory, but listenability and a sense of "coherence" is important, at least for me personally, in music. Yes, there are some parts of this concerto I really like, like the second movement, but overall, without several listens, it's hard for me to comprehend this piece. Random I think is the best word to describe this piece, and many other pieces including Debussy cello sonata. Avant-garde doesn't resonate with me.

Pitchy

What I still don't understand is why the piece is in B minor and he choosed the adagio to be in Bb minor which it's obvious that it's would be easier to play it in Bm instead because of the open strings of the strings instruments. Probably the colour of Bbm is the one who got him to this.

Any Israelite descendants singing this song at the end...?! #Broken 😭😭😭

I just love the whole thing! The adagio enters so abruptly that it always catches me.

Wonderful ❤

Both Melissa Wagner and Chris Rouse got Pulitzers for their Alessi Trombone concerti . The rollickingfrenziedScherzo was set up well by the 1st mov.and its return make sense.I have the score for Wagner's and I 'm studying the orchestration for this now . The opening is really foreboding interesting dark,sinister music after 6 minutes all the weaving voices really set a suspenseful scene !

bravo!

Barber really touches a feeling that is indescribable. Something that I think we've all felt. It feels like some sort of out of body experience where you are connected with everything around you. Able to see the world and life in all of its melancholic beauty. Very introspective. He was a really wonderful composer and one of my absolute favorites.

good

Fantastic performance of a great piece, and totally agree about the electrifying trombone work.

What a pity the original video of this recording at the 1994 BBC Proms has been taken down. Fortunately I downloaded it before it disappeared. Probably the most thrilling live performance ever!

A fine piece of music. Mr. Rouse "gets" the trombone, understands what it's really capable of, in a way you don't often hear. In particular, it has the vocal quality of an operatic baritone mourning with raw pain in the first movement, raging at Death in the second, and mourning with more acceptance of finality in the third. Really, the only negative criticism I'd offer is that some passages in the middle of the second movement sound a little too much like "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". Also, the final theme sounds a bit "Broadway" - but it's a Bernstein quote, so of course it does.

17:53 this argument of 4 ducks in the park over a piece of bread after such an apocalypse just before seems so comical and surreal, and that the solo duck is the one who wins by only protesting a little longer before returning to the water HAHAHAHAHAHA

Those camera shots and high notes with Kira's ear in the foreground are EWI gold.

As Bernstein put it-“Absolute Beauty”

This is awesome

Woww. What a gem! ❤

MUST WATCH

when you steal a piece from yourself

really scary jump scare at 0:34 want to warn everyone of really scary jump scare oh no I meant to type 0:33 its too late now?

A monumental work.

The Adagio is so beautiful ❤️

I love the opening of the Passacaglia, whose theme is introduced in what sounds like a canon, with each voice entering a 1/2 step higher.

Best snare drum part of all time in a Symphony!

Definitely a masterpiece, so beautiful. Thank you so very much

I like all finnish works that I have heard. If I have a chance, I want to go Finland to study composition though my nation is very far from europe(I live in RoK).

Just a bad piece of "music"

I'm in love with Ben Johnston's musical world.

a world hit!

Easily one of the most underrated concerti in the cello repertoire.

second piece is so beautiful!

Hey Adam, just found your channel!

26:02

well played everything!

Can you share this score with me? This is a wonderful piece of music. Thanks a lot.

This is not music
