    Nikolai Myaskovsky was regarded as the Father of the Soviet Symphony and he was respected as such by all younger composers, including his young “genius” friend Sergei Prokofiev. His Symphony No. 22 or “Symphony-Ballad” was composed in the first months of combat far away in Tblisi: It swings between moments of melancholy, sadness and heroism.
    Nikolai Myaskovsky era considerado como el Padre de la Sinfonía Soviética y era respetado como tal por compositores más jóvenes incluido su joven amigo genio Sergei Prokofiev. Su Sinfonía No. 22 o “Balada-Sinfonía” fue compuesta en los primeros meses de combate pero lejos en Tiblisi: Ésta pasa entre momentos de melancolía, tristeza y heroísmo.

      Reminds me of a certain American composer from the 1950's whose music had no continuity -- the music just rolls along making just making sounds and going from nowhere to some other nowhere!!! Same here! It has no heart or brain!

    Ecouter Nikolai Myaskovsky c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, prélude à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Dans le courant du fleuve des notes qui nous traverse, le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers impalpable. Couleurs, composition, rythme, constituent un langage qui donne véritablement voix à l'exaltation !

    Myaskovsky's music is never less than accomplished and tuneful. This symphony is positively radiant, full of great tunes and Prokofievian (?) lyricism. Hard to imagine it was written during the horrors of WW2. I find no fault with the performance and recording. Thanks for the post !

      That's not true. He was older dan his best friend Prokofiev, but they studied together and simultaneously. And Prokofiev was more daring and original, but Myaskovsky has a great sincerity.

They are two movements of the 19th symphony, Op. 46, rearranged for strings (the original symphony is written for brasses only). If you like Myaskovsky's music, you will love'em!!! A hug fom Italy

    What a life he had! Wounded veteran of World War I and of the Red Army, the very army which killed his father. His most inspired war symphony is the sixth, because he was very much part of that first world war. Let's not forget that most Russian composers in 1941 were completely cut off from the events of World War II. Their war symphonies are thus abstractions in the sense that they didn't know; they could only imagine.

      It was written in 1941 and first time played in 1942 after Operation Barbarossa, its probably the first symphonic response to The Great Patriotic War, released before 7th Symphony by Shostakovich so Red Square 1945 Victory Parade picture fits nice in my opinion but even better whould be a photo from the 1941 October Revolution Parade when troops went straight into battle from the Red Square.

      @Senatedefender 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ​@@chrisconnor8086, I've looked at it again and again saw very little relation to the music: maybe there is only on the surface level, and demonstrates superficial understanding of the music.
      This music is not of war actions or parades but rather it's sorrow and reflexion of an individual, the depths of his feelings, and much, much more.
      Parades, also - but I doubt that in descriptive, poster sense.
      Most of the symphony is lyrical and even pastoral in tone, da hell?!
      I'm complaining mostly because this pic may easily confuse or distract newcame listeners.

    This would have been a masterpiece if it weren't for the ending. It feels tacked on, because it was expected of music to be defiant and bombastic as a sign that the war would end in victory. But it doesn't feel as an organic development of what came before.
    Shostakovich managed to have that kind of ending in his 7th ending by preparing it much better. The entire Finale of that Symphony builds to it.
    This symphony here however did not. I expected a quiet, solemn but hopeful ending.

    • @gjs9441
      @gjs9441 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apart from that awful Shostakovich 7th I agree with you, but all depends on the perfomance. This one is incredibly dull. Svetlanov's rendition has much more tension.
