Symphony No 1 in g minor by Vasily Kalinnikov (1866-1901) 2. Movement "Andante commodamente" National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine Theodore Kuchar, conductor Kiev, 02.-06.XI.1994
Just beautiful. Such a tragedy Kalinnikov died so young. Both Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov admired his music. This whole symphony deserves to be better known, so come on, youth orchestras of the world, put it into your concert programmes and let's spread the word...! Thank you very much for posting both of these fine pieces. All good wishes.
Actually this is the first piece I played with a youth orchestra, back in 1975. Even Toscanini championed it, back in the early part of the XXth century. Gorgeous work, but if it hasn't caught on by now, odds are pretty good it never will. A shame.
@@ben_joven it’s rather difficult to explain human emotion reflected in music, along with the general “happy and sad” narrative reflected in major/minor chords. I think realistically it’s to do with the tension and release in the note movement from the minor 4 chord to the tonic. And that emotional release of that major resolution being comparable to a warm comforting hug when you’re sad or something like that. I like to think of a lot of “comforting” images when there are movements in fourths in music, but this one particularly has an emotional complexity bridging happiness and sadness for me. The beautiful orchestration Kalinnikov used in this as well contributes to those emotions for me. Sorry for the long-winded and arbitrary response lol
F***. I just followed the link from a website to this composer, and then I realized that I was born at the same town in Russia with this guy, and I know almost nothing about him :D
I listen to this exquisite melody every day, never tire of it. It summons up so many emotions, I´m sure not alone in this. But strangely very few people, given the fact that no one has left a comment for 7 years, seem to know it. I should be better aware of the generation of Tchaikovsky, this composition leaves me in tears.
Incredible! Just amazing.How is this composer so overlooked? You can imagine this under a sweeping epic movie. At 1:58 the transition is magnificent. 19th century Russia, you did it again!
It's quite weird/interesting to me why this song interrests me so much. When looking into it, the reasons are silly, but when looking deeper into the meaning, it makes sense. And when summarised, everything boils down to the humble meaning of "It just tickles my fancy". Kalinnikov is a name I will give the effort of remembering.
unchallenged at its time. this sounds like sherman bros. 1950ies filmscore. beginning and end sound like a james horner or james newton howard score from 1980ies+. kalinnikov was so ahead of his time in 1895. i am amazed
Technically speaking, A sharp major would be the relative major of f double sharp minor, not g minor. But it's all moot anyway, since, as was pointed out by another commenter, these remote keys are never used.
i chose this movement to be the first piece of music i play to my daughter who's born yesterday.
Beautiful.
yeah great your daughter's gonna be sad
@@vromj looking at your videos i get, that this masterpiece makes you sad. ;)
I really think Kalinnikov is one of the most underrated composers ever. This piece is full of beauty and emotion.
died way too young :/
Moves the soul with beauty, himility and hope for the future of our troubled world.
6:27-6:31 that kind of blended transition from winds to strings is impeccable.
they were playing this movement in the radio two hours ago - I had to look it up to find the information about it. JUST WONDERFUL
Прекрасная музыка Василия Калинникова проникает в душу ,создавая образ России, загадочной и притягательной, нежной и пленительной,..
Это же надо так суметь при помощи звуков передать природу, дух, тревогу, мощь, волю, силу, простор, даже непобедимость моей Родины! Слушаю и плачу.
Зто под силу классному дирижеру;) яКоторьій зто записал.
Поверьте мне,как музьіканту. Дирижер может опоганить самую прекрасную музьіку !)

I just discovered Kalinnokov and am blown away by his genius. This movement alone is unreal in modernism and beauty
This is beautiful

6:15 - vi, II7, iv, I ... Best use of the minor 4 chord in all of music
I like adding the 6th to IVm then transitioning to I
Supposedly, one of the 'saddest chord progressions' of all time, but how can it be 'sad' when it ends in Major?

@@stephenirvine7445you explained it brilliantly
6:15 has me in tears
This is so beautiful, so many feelings rising in my heart. I just love everything that Kalinnikov has composed... He was perfect... ♥
This is beautiful
My favorite slow movement in a symphony!
Thanks very much for posting this peace. Such a short life fool of poverty and struggles and such a music!
So beautiful - one of my favorite pieces.

Indeed. Same.
I am with you. I am sure that many others are as well. Be well.
If I got on stage to conduct this, I would likely break down in tears and drop the beat.
Gorgeous!
Mesmerizingly beautiful
So uplifting and ethereal. Totally fell in love with this ... Thank you for posting ...
Merci, c'est génial ! 👍😃
Great performance by the Ukraine symphony! You should hear the the finale!
Es maravillosa esta pieza ! Debería tener mas escuchadas !
Just the most beautiful song and the NSO Ukraine performs it so wonderfully... it's my favorite.
Used in the production of a Sherlock Holmes computer game - Sherlock Holmes Nemesis.
This piece was used as a soundtrack in a movie "Aquarium" by a book of Victor Suvorov.
hypnotizing with beauty!!!
This conposer wrote beautifully and should be better known.
Really a great composer

If this isn't playing at my funeral, I'm not dying
Captivating
Truly sublime.
Indeed
Rich and introspective.
мечта
легкая, как облако, и чистая мечта
Like the twilight of a dream.
Thanks for the upload!

Beautiful work from a minor Russian master!
this was in one of the sherlock holmes games
Lovely♡
Sherlock Holmes Nemesis
Memoreis
I think John Barry was influenced by this, for the film, "They Might Be Giants".
best part 6:15
It is, isn't it? Other worldly somehow.
Takes me to another world
That Quentin Miller sample
Love it! Underrated? Just a bit...
это какоето чуто необъятное...
I prefer svtlanov in this movement. Most spiritual russian mood.
Music to get my aux privileges revoked
6:16
Spot quiz: What is the relative major of G minor?
A# major.
Bb major. A# major is never used because it would have three double sharps in the key signature.

как будто себя кудато сносишь в кактое прошлое...
