FAN-TAS-TIC!!! I must say my ignorance impedes me from understanding the text, but as far as text-aside-music, this is AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hardcore and genuinely disquieting. Evidently Shostakovich thought very highly of Ustvolskaya's work.
I want this to be played at my burial
Amazing! This needed a score video, badly!
I only found out about her music this year but every piece I hear from her is a creative discovery. Amazing work
When the господи part started I'm not gonna lie I almost cried of laughter.
I got freaked out! I wasn't expecting a vocal bit in this piece.
Snappy little tune. I can't get it out of my head. Now I'll be whistling this all day.
"The lady with the hammer" indeed.
Thank you for explaining that this symphony is by Ustvolskaya, otherwise I might have assumed that it was by Bamm-Bamm of The Flintstones.
🔥🔥🔥
As someone said about Olivier Messiaen, G.I. Ustvolskaya does not *com*pose; she *juxta*poses.
Very true! I've never heard this saying before but you could apply it to many composers; Messiaen most easily but I'd go as far as adding Bruckner to the list...

Бедный рояль!
he's so real for that though

I wont say that this is bad, because i dont know enough about Atonal music...I have to ask, what is the point of Atonal? Maybe if i knew more about it i could appreciate it better
Scherschen the great conductor and advocate of new music said "all u need to do is listen."The problem is that you have come to Ustvolskaya with prejudices and hard grained assumptions about SOUND and music. Batok said if u don't know what us happening in my music u don't know what is happening in Beethoven. That says it all! You're used to following da melody. That's good for NikiMinaj and ToriAmos if u have a sense for irony and sociology. But if u learn about musical tools and technique u will see from da score here and then finally you will hear the Eroica and his op.106 like u never have before.
Just look into what the piece is trying to capture. If unsatisfied it is what it is.
What helped me gain an appreciation for atonal music was listening to the music that led to it. The early 20th century tends to be the tipping point between tonality and “atonality”, and listening to the gradual process makes everything much more understandable. I also think playing some atonal music really helps you understand it
Also, I recommend George Crumb’s music as a good entry point for more tone-color-focused music
On top of all of what's been mentioned so far, it's important to remember that atonality is more of a blanket term rather than a specific thing. There are many music styles that can be seen as atonal, including some that are very pleasant to the "common ear". It's therefore important to be specific when you ask about the point of atonality within the context of the piece that you comment on (and that might lead you to the answer as well!)
I hope this is an ironic title. The vocals were interesting...but unintentionally comical. Death of Tsar Boris and all. Some interesting sonorities and timbres. A bit ham-fisted for me.
I dont think Ustvolskaya meant for an ironic title...
Her idea of bliss then is somewhat infernal. Ayuh, gospodi! The dour hammering doesn't seem much removed from the world of her Dies Irae. The hammer comes out again there and the constant stiff architecture of her sound gives her music a 'one note' composer. It works as a performance piece because it's atmospheric @@JosephOzielComposer
