I waited a long time before I could publish this video that was recorded and edited a year ago. It is, undoubtedly, one of the indisputable masterpieces of the contemporary repertoire for piano. From the first to the last note, nothing is missing, nothing left, the perfection of a master in his maturity. A style carved for years, unmistakable from the first notes.
This is a work commissioned by the pianist Emanuele Arciuli, a set of variations on a classic of jazz (Round Midnight by Thelomius Monk) wrapped in a framework of ironic quotes from well known classics and memories of distant melodies. The suggestive titles of the movements make reference to Shakespeare and to Debussy and one can imagine a magnificent emotional moment just before the return of the main theme, with an intelligent combination of the keyboard and the string of the instrument. A work that will last, with the echoes of the majestic bells in the cadence of the work. What a great homage to one of the masters of jazz piano ...
And what beautiful memories of my work with the great pianist Laura Solano, the first time I worked on these pieces and the moment when she left her shyness aside shouting the twelve midnight bells ...

He esperado mucho tiempo antes de poder publicar este vídeo que estaba grabado y editado desde hace un año. Es, sin lugar a dudas, una de las indiscutibles obras maestras del piano actual. Desde la primera a la última nota, nada falta, nada sobra, la perfección de un maestro en su madurez. Un estilo labrado durante años, inconfundible desde las primeras notas.
Obra encargada por el pianista Emanuele Arciuli, se trata de unas variaciones sobre un clásico del jazz (Round Midnight de Thelomius Monk) envueltas en un entramado de irónicas citas de grandes clásicos y de recuerdos de melodías lejanas. Los sugerente títulos de sus respectivos movimientos hacen referencia a Shakespeare y a Debussy y en ellos se intuyen grandes momentos emocionales antes de la vuelta al tema principal con una maestra combinación del teclado y el cordaje del instrumento. Una obra que perdurará, con el eco de las campanas que gritan majestuosas en la cadencia de la obra. Qué gran homenaje a uno de los grandes del piano del jazz…
Y qué formidables recuerdos de mi trabajo con la gran pianista Laura Solano, la primera vez que trabajé la obra y el momento en el que dejó la timidez a un lado para lanzar al aire las doce campanadas de la medianoche…

How Crumb was able to compose such sensitive, heart-wrenching music on a single piano (in fact, this piece has percussion and includes a harp!)! I shudder at the first music and focused on my inner self. It's such a fantastic, dreamy, cold piece, perfect music!
Yes...I truly find a masterpiece in every moment of this piece. The more time passes, the more important and profound his piano music sounds to me. Many thanks for commenting...

Many thanks. I add it to the description
Lindíssimo!! Tanta harmonia, misticismo e doçura.... Obrigado!!
❤❤❤
Beautiful, creepy, unsettling, sensitive, and exciting- all things a performance of a George Crumb work should be! Well done!
Abby Lackey many thanks for such kind words. More Crumb to come soon
I like the Tristan and Golliwog's Cakewalk references. I heard some Strauss and Gershwin in there too.
good ear...some of the quotes are not so obvious...
I kind of heard that, some paul mc cartney too.
Brilliant performance!!!
Many thanks
I can't believe he quoted Monk's "Round Midnight."
In fact this was the starting point. It was intended to be a small piece around Monk’s classic. Then it developed to a whole set…
Me encanta la música de piano siempre quise tocar uno y dedicarme a ello en mi colegio avia un órgano y aveces me escabullia al lugar solo para tocarlo pero nunca eh tenido uno y al ver este vídeo me da esperanza de conseguir uno algún día y dedicarme a esto me encanta!
Ojalá lo consigas…mucha suerte…
@@RicardoDescalzo gracias encerio :)
Today I discovered your "Digital Concerthall" subsequent another discovery I made a few days ago:
the composer Moritz Eggert. I watched you performing "Jerusalem" from the cycle "Hämmerklavier"
It seems that you don't make recordings in collaboration with respectively in dependency on major (or smaller) labels.
You are a free artist. Maybe no labels are interested in the music you play.
The WWW is full of junk and much worse things but you also can find pearls.
In your case it is a celestial bliss to have TH-cam.
What you are doing is an example of a new form of music transmission besides live concerts or sound storage mediums or Streaming.
Very, very precious!!! What you offer is a breathtaking repertoire of contemporary piano music in perfect interpretations.
I'm deeply impressed.
Dear Mr. Klinger: I received your warm message with most delight. Your words give sense to the enormous efforts of my video project. I truly appreciate it. I wish we can meet in the future and thank you for your comments. More repertory will come soon, and Mr. Eggert's music will be amongst the first to issue...
bravo!
Gracias Manuel. Un abrazo
it reminds me of artie shaw, benny goodman, the big band era, elegant, very melodic and classy…so necessary in these days of uncertainty.
Yes...it's music full of flavours...thanks for your comments...
Bravo !!!!
many thanks Yuri
Wonderful performance
many thanks
Absolutely brilliant
happy you liked it
Found this looking up Pizzicato. Had know idea what Eine Kleine Mitternachtmusik meant but found this at midnight!
I hope you enjoyed it…
I did. Very interesting. Never knew about the pizzicato before 😊. I watched a few of your other videos as well. 👍👍
@@zackpeterson718 so grateful…
Wonderful performance, and a beautifully photographed and produced video.
Andrew Rudin thanks!! 🙏♥️
too late thanks for this comment...sorry
Increíble interpretación!
mil gracias Alberto
Merveilleux que la musique nous élève vers les cieux
Beautiful…😊
Wonderful reprise of 'Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk
many thanks...
Yes yes
Thank you for sharing these works with such incredible skill and integrity!
Many thanks, Jeff. I appreciate it a lot
Dear Mr Descalzo, A few days ago I discovered your channel, and I am greatly enjoying your performances. I congratulate you on your artistic gifts and thank you for sharing them with us. Please accept my very best wishes.
Dear Caspar. Many thanks for writing here. I'm so happy you are anjoying the content I publish. In few days I will begin uploading content again. Hopefully you continue interested in it. All the best
@@RicardoDescalzo I should also pay a handsome compliment to those who are responsible for making the video. Well done! Please realize that in these dark days, when we find ourselves in the grip of a nasty virus, all of you make an important contribution to our spiritual welfare. Where would we be without music?
@@casparwintermans9492 Many thanks for your beautiful words. We are very grateful. We try in each work to transmit the beauty hidden in each musical note and in each beam of light. We need art to survive. Thank you for understanding our sensitivity.
Orlando is in charge (alone) of all the technical aspects of the recordings. We are a very small team...
Thanks very much for posting this extraordinary interpretation of Crumbs great piece!
He is one of finest poets among contemporary composers and You feel this poetry extremely well. Chain of miniatures which offers you some metaphysical experience. And these combinations of quotes are magical: connection between Debussy, Strauss, Wagner and Gershwin so accurate on so many levels: flow of rich harmonic ideas, presented in a clear way, children's happiness and fun (Debussy-Strauss) immediately transformed to sensuous love theme's (Wagner-Gershwin). Like echoes from wonderland, from deep past...
That's really fantastic! Thanks once more!
Dear Mateusz. Many thanks for such wonderful comments. Yes, this collection of pieces is superb. Everything is so well crafted. And so poetic. I'm so happy to share these same feelings and passions. I hope you like my new Crumb recently posted. All the best.
Fantástica apresentação. Parabéns Ricardo Descalzo!!!
Muchas gracias Marcello. Un abrazo

I’m happy about it...
@@RicardoDescalzo and the piece is really awesome. I really like your videos!
Many thanks. There are many more to come soon. Stay connected...
Creo que es el primer o segundo comentario que escribo en TH-cam, pero la merece. Bravo por todo! Es cierto que la pieza es una obra maestra, pero tu interpretación es genial. Muchísimas gracias por este regalo.
Muchas gracias Sylvio por unas palabras tan sentidas y sinceras. Un abrazo
Of course I don’t like every piece you present, but I highly appreciate your work to spread the music of our time!
and I do appreciate your words...sorry two years later...
@@personalricardo7418 No problem.
Keep the good work up.
Ps: Even Monks Round Midnight found its way into the piece...;-))
yes indeed..
The first movement is round midnight by Thelonious Monk.
Yes, it reappears again at the end of the work. It’s a set of variations on that theme…
@@RicardoDescalzo ok like jazz standards.
I admit I did'nt seen the entire video.
@@christophegeoffroy4281yes, but in another style…
Your commitment and attention to detail make this a compelling experience, but ... I confess I don't "get" it, especially not the contorted Cake Walk in the middle (Clair de Lune might have made more "sense" in the context ...) ... My failing no doubt. Thanks for all your work on this. Good to have heard it. I feel somehow enlightened ...
great to read your message. I hope you find some inspiration in it. Cake walk I suppose comes as a big contrast and as a parody not to have all the material in the same mood
Crumb always found aoutstanding synthesis in quite simple but efcicient tols, sometimes wu=ith stylistic disruptions or u quotations. Here, unusual ways to get piano sounds altrerante with traditional playing, which are seliberately more conventional and couls be heard as an lighly ironic iimitation of romtntic or impressions style, including more modrn stylistic features (minimalism and repetitve music, which must be herd with a rather ironic ear). The composer"s genius (and secret) is to make an homogeneous sore with that quite scsttered material.
Beautifully said. I appreciate your insights about Crumb's music. I find also that he has connected with something true of our time and that is why so many people from so many different interests like his music...
Thank you for this absolutely wonderful performance and technically incredible recording! How was it done? There are no microphones to be seen in the video, yet the sound is so detailed and present! And please do more Crumb...
Dea Ivan. Many thanks for your note. It has been recorded with two Rode K2 mics. They don't appear this time in the recording. I don't remember why we decided that, but they are around two meters from the piano. The hall is huge and very resonant. In short there will come another Crumb piece. Stay tuned...
Wow, bravo! I've never seen extended techniques for the piano performed with such mastery, not to mention your expressive playing on the keys. Subscribed.
Many thanks for your beautiful words. So happy you liked it that much…
based Crumb
tristan and isolde in this time....

Till Eulenspiegel quotes :)
