*OH YEAH, BY THE WAY, SOME PERSONAL COMMENTS:* 1) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone! Thank you very much for staying with me even up to this point, now that my schedule is actually very busy because of work. I really do appreciate it, ladies and gentlemen. Now, I hope you have an idea what I'm gonna upload the entire tribute. ;) 2) You might ask, out of all pieces that you can put up on Christmas, why this? Sorry, I was just thinking about following a "The Nightmare before Christmas" reference. :P 3) Sorry as well if some parts of the video don't match the audio -- the only available sheet music of the piece that I can find on the Internet is actually missing some parts. The recording also seems to skip some parts as well. Sigh. 4) The 6/8 "dance" part reminds me of something Ginastera might have written down. 5) Any random comments, suggestions, opinions, questions, or video requests? Feel more than free to leave a comment or give me a PM. :D
The harmony is breathtaking! Compared to his contemporaries, he uses such simple themes almost romantically, but it is simply amazing what effect this work has.
Wow,a favorite film of mine,but nver knew Bernard Hermann was the composer! I always like the Day the Earth Stood Still..but never knew he also composed Macsabre Concerto!
Wow this is great! Bernard Herrmann was one of the best TVGF and movie soundtrack composers of all time in my book! i loved his work with the Twilight Zone, and I had no idea he had written serious piano work as well! Thank you YOuTube!
I have seen this concerto in the context of the movie, and your summery doesn't even begin to cover why this is The Concerto of Death. Don't get me wrong. This is a great concerto to just listen to. But when placed in the context of seeing it unfold on the screen, it is a masterpiece. Especially those final cords, starting at 9:26, played alone, with the room and fire, and no escape. And that final line in the movie that "it was better this way" that he die like that. Bernard Herman at his best, in an otherwise pedestrian movie.
It is so fantastic to have this isolated from film Wonder if you heard my out of print French lP .i thought it ok .i am more severe critic now .a better version effort My Chabrol cd. I love so much of Bernard music thru the year s Agin thanks for POSt
This piano concerto reminds me very much in form and style of the Villa-Lobos piano concertos. However, Hermann's harmonies are more daring and better balanced than Villa-Lobos'.
thenameisgsarci So? That's not her name now. I see no reason to use her birth name instead of her real name, Sara Davis Buechner. It's actually quite disrespectful to do so.
@Chris Ray I have covered his Sinfonietta for String Orchestra before, but I can recommend you his theme song for North by Northwest. God, that one's so very beautiful.
I've known about Herrmann since I was a Junior High School kid in the late 70's (after seeing Psycho) and that's when I bought my first record of his work. The Taxi Driver Sountrack was the 3rd Herrmann record I purchased. I'm not sure how anyone who calls themselves a Film lover would not know the the work of one of the greatest film composers. Short answer: NO.
@@vittoriostoraro I got to know him after seeing Taxi Driver for the first time this year, his music amazed me, any recommendations to other of his works?

Fantastique partition....Merci,.❤
Bernard herrmann GENIUS
Stefano Ripari so agree; I just love his film scores like The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Vertigo.
@@martinlieberman8678 SONO ECCEZIONALI SOUNDTRACK FAHRENHEIT 451 - OBSESSION - PSYCO - GARDEN OF EVIL - 5 FINGERS ....👍
Amazing ! Thank you ! It sounds like the Rautavaara's piano concerto that's amazing !
You're welcome, friend. :D
One of Stephen Sondheim's favorite pieces

Oh, OK. About that one, I was actually on mobile data when I uploaded the video and put the description, so my Internet is quite limited.
Nah, it's fine, I know what you mean.
The movie's quite good. Brilliantly directed.
Glad you like the concerto the film may not be a masterpiece but I wish you classify it as fairly good
the last three acords remebers the estructure of Rachaninoff preludio in c minor sharp.
Love the tune at 1:08!
Magnificent!
You can definitely hear some relations to Vertigo Suite
Yes, it is the tritone in the chord.
It is so fantastic to have this isolated from film

Shame this short piece is interrupted TWICE! by commercials.

Just want to point out that the pianist's name is Sara Davis Buechner.
Yes, true, but she was actually born as David Buechner.

Perhaps, you have a good point, but let me make the edits later, I just got home from work and I just can't wait to go to bed. Sorry. :/
OK, done. :)
Laird Cregar finishes the the concerto in a burning inferno in the end of Hangover Square (1941)!
Please reload the link of sheet music, I can't download the score.
I gotta see this movie!
It is in youtube. The actor playing the main role died soon afterwards, due to the diet he undertook to get slimmer.
"declamanto": creative italian
Marco Zuccarato dove? a 1:10 è scritto giusto
1:39
definitely getting ginastera vibes
The section starting right around 4:50 is so so good. Basically progressive metal, 70 years early.
Ever be willing do Corigliano "Circus Maximus"? Lots of people would appreciate it, for sure
If I have the score for it, then maybe.
Where is the rest of the score?
Is that an autograph score by Hermann?
Very Rautavaara-ian.
Was thinking the same thing! Reminds me of his Symphony 8 and the Harp Concerto.
let the master rest in peace.......herrann hast written 20 years before !!!!!! such a nerd!!!!
the american kapustin

Thanks! ^_^
The score freezes up periodically.
Sorry about that. :(
I have an answer about that on the comment I pinned, though.
I love american notation...
Done by pen,ignoring classical rules
Which classical rules are ignored? [Classical music is usually also done by pen; It's merely the wellknown music that gets typeset/published]
The RCA performance is better.
Any details on the performers of that performance?

@@thenameisgsarci I was in record retail in the 70s when this series was released. We had them in constant rotation on the store turntable.

The orchestra got out while the gettin' was good. I guess the smell of cheese was overpowering.
