![Scriabin - Piano Concerto in F sharp minor, op. 20 (Vladimir Ashkenazy/Maazel) [Complete]](/img/n.gif)
If someone wants to know - this piece she wrote after her sister's daughter died. The impact of the tragic event is particularly strong in the second part (Grave [In memoriam]) - With this second part composer begins work on the Piano Concerto. The first theme - the melody of the Latvian folk song "Kam, liepiņa tu nolūzi" - sounds like a mourning procession. (2nd part 14:44)
During the Soviet years, the Piano Concerto received harsh criticism from the Composers' Union for failing to comply with the prevailing setting of conflict-free theory.
But now it is definitely one of the grandest piano concerts in the history of Latvian music. I really love it!
Thanks to Classic 92.9 FM discovered this piece late yesterday. Like so many others I can't believe I didn't discover this piece and composer earlier. Garuta paints a picture here so vivid, so serious and emotional it reaches your soul in a way few composers achieve. The reflective stanzas are painted like no other. The piano at its very best. Fabulous ! A very personal experience.
way good. In fact, one of the great 20th-century piano concertos
Beautiful. I wish I had known about her years ago.
(00:00) 1- Lento pesante. Allegro sostenuto
(14:44) 2- Grave
(23:10) 3- Maestoso. Allegretto scherzando
This is the best piano concerto I've heard in years, and I'd never heard of Lucija Garuta before! This would have to be one of the finest piano concertos ever written. 10/10!
If you want, you should try Eckhardt Gramatte's Piano Concerto No. 1,that is my best concerto I have listened! :)
Waarom altijd Rach 3 en al die Mozarts? Het muziekonderwijs en de muziekindustrie beroven ons van veel moois. Schande!
@@arlettehellemans2117 De muziekindustrie produceert juist al die CD-opnames van relatief onbekend werk. Neem alle niet-standaardrepertoire dat bij labels als Hyperion, Naxos en Chandos verschijnt. En van veel niet alledaagse componisten is er in het land van herkomst al veel opgenomen. Kijk eens hoeveel werken van Christian Sinding (om maar een onterecht ondergewaardeerde componist met een omvangrijk oeuvre te noemen) er in de jaren 60 en 70 in Noorwegen op plaat zijn gezet. Idem met het werk van Bror Beckman en Wilhelm Peterson-Berger in Zweden. Als LP-verzamelaar is het verbazingwekkend om te zien wat er al voor het digitale tijdperk allemaal is verschenen. Zelfs op destijds wereldwijd toonaangevende labels als Melodiya uit de USSR kom je vergeten werk van nota bene Britse componisten als York Bowen en Ernest Walker tegen. De invloed van de muziekindustrie zie ik dus eerder als positief.
Onderwijs? Is afhankelijk van de docent. M'n pianoleraar van de muziekschool, met wie ik nu 25 jaar later nog steeds bevriend ben, is zelf CD-verzamelaar en bekend met talloze componisten buiten het standaardrepertoire.
Als je iemand de schuld wil geven, leg de schuld dan bij de repertoirecommissies van beroepsorkesten en programmeurs van concertzalen en radiozenders.
Ben het verder wel met je eens maar vraag me af of dit specifieke pianoconcert zo bijzonder is. Het 2e deel is qua akkoordenprogressie bijvoorbeeld erg langdradig, er zit in een enkele Chopin-Mazurka zoals de opus 59 nummer 1, die 3 minuten duurt o.i.d., meer avontuurlijks aan ideeën dan in dat hele langzame deel van dit concert. De melodieën zijn vergeetbaar en anders dan bijvoorbeeld met Reger's pianoconcert dat een beetje met hetzelfde probleem kampt, wordt er ook niet heel veel bijzonders met het aanwezige materiaal gedaan.
Vergelijk het ook met 'tweede garnituur' componisten uit een vroeger tijdperk. De pianoconcerten van Xaver Scharwenka, maar bijvoorbeeld ook dat van de nóg minder bekende Zweedse componiste en pianiste Laura Netzel, steken hier met kop en schouders bovenuit en zelfs die zijn geen onderdeel van het standaardrepertoire (hoewel die van Scharwenka dat in zijn tijd wél waren).
@@arlettehellemans2117 Waarom niet dan zeggen 'altijd' Bach, en Beethoven, en Chopin, en Liszt, en Mendelssohn (en niet Fanni M.!), Schumann, en Brahms, en Grieg, en Tschaikovsky, en Bartók, en Schostakovits, en veel anderen? Want je bent vauit Nederland, en er is geen publiek meer voor meer dan alleen (misschien) Rach 3 en Mozart, daarom. Die muziekindustrie in andere landen doet zelfs meer dan al die boven, maar welke publiek, en wanneer zou concertos ook van F. Ries, Scharwenka, Röntgen, Bortkiewicz, L. Garruta of Ami Beach in Nederland beluisteren? Meeste Nederlanders hebben ook veel minder affiniteit voor muziek dan veel andere mensen, sorry.
Slow movement is sublime, especially for 4k video gamers like me... I could very much imagine the best wide mountain scenery. Thank you for letting me know this must-hear piece.
An astounding piece saturated with excitement and heartfelt romance.
Décidément superbe concerto, à réécouter, car il le mérite.... Le thème du mouvement lent ("grave") est prenant. Cette compositrice lettone mériterait une plus grande place... Son inventivité est un enchantement "romantique" sans mièvrerie.... Passée par Paris, élève de Dukas. Solide formation...
This powerful and constantly changing concerto holds your attention every minute. And a great show of piano virtuosity it is. Thanks for introducing me to Lucija Garuta. I'll keep looking for her music. Why, in hell's name, has no one ever drawn my attention to this composer?
All I can say is "Wow!" What a fantastic concerto! And played with great feeling and power by Ms. Circene. I wish someday to see a live performance of this concerto on TH-cam.
A piano concerto I would listen to many times when I am looking for relaxing and inspiring beautiful music. I just purchased 2 CDs of this concerto. I wish more music by Lucija was available on CD.
In spite of its sometimes dark character, this is wonderful, at places charming, memorable, unduly unknown music.
Один из прекраснейших концертов в истории фортепианного искусства!
The orchestra is the Latvian National Opera Orchestra.
I quite agree with other posts, a really wonderful concerto. Come on Classic FM, how about introducing your listeners to all these lesser known composers.
Being played this morning on ABC Classic (10/03/2019) by Greta Bradman
Spectacular, incredible, wonderful, marvelous. I am sure there are other appropriate words.
Thank you so much for sharing! I was looking for this concert for a while. It's one of the best pieces in Latvian music, but I wouldn't have expected it to be known outside of Latvia.
What a gorgeous masterpiece ❤️
It's incredible! I've never heard about her. Just learned she wrote the cantata "God, Thy earth's on fire!" - and its premier was in 1944 in a church in Latvia, and it was recorded - - with the sound of distant bombing at the background -- and the recording was eventually found although long thought lost! I wonder if this recording is available.
She has been called the female Rachmaninoff,by Russians-- not too bad.
Very underated, wish she wrote more, and that more has been recorded.
Thanks for this posting!!!
It is not a praise to a very gifted woman to automatically refer to a male, when talking about her talent.
People not do it with malice or contempt...It is an automatism.... in the heads of many people is a compliment...it is so because music is another world dominated by males...
@@pilouetmissiou It is me a you who choose whose art we relate to. In music, literature, visual art.
It may be influenced by Rachmaninov but it lacks his melodic inspiration.
@@Nogah100 Turgid nonsense. Although she was a skilled composer, this is nowhere near as good as Rachmaninoff even though it's similar in style. This concerto sounds nice but has a lot of forgettable tunes in it. Especially the 2nd movement is just dull compared to what Rachmaninoff would come up with.
It's therefore not only a compliment but a gross overstatement. In reality she should be considered at the level of someone like Kabalevsky or Glazunov at best. Probably closer to even 3rd tier like Cesar Cui or Paul Pabst (and the Paul Pabst piano concerto has more memorable tunes in it than this).
Also, since skill at composition is a function of intelligence, and men and women, although their average IQs are indistinguishable, differ in terms of variability of IQ, among men there's more retards AND more geniuses, whereas IQ distribution among females is more centred around the average, e.g. with a smaller standard deviation.
The higher number of per capita geniuses among men mean that they will inevitably have among them the greatest composers, just like they also have among them the largest number of drug addicts and other scum (which unlike musical talent is a function of low intelligence).
It's just a fact of life that in extremely small genius-dominated professions, from composition to theoretical physics to analytical philosphers, males will dominate the field as long as they're judged on their merit alone.
Very impressive and very well orchestrated ! Thank you very much for the video!
Unbelievably moving! What a gem that you have uncovered, you god of music you! Thanks! Merci infiniment !
Ce concerto est une merveille !
Another Home Run from CollectionCB2! Definitely in the Must Hear category! Thank you.
beautifull lyric piece, full of feeling, should be interesting to have another performances with diffrent pianists if exist...
I adore it. Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely fantastic. So glad I found this today.
HERMOSO CONCIERTO, DESCONOCÍA A ESTA BRILLANTE COMPOSITORA, OJALÁ LOS MÚSICOS ACTUALES LA INTERPRETARAN , ES UNA PENA CUANTOS MÚSICOS Y PRINCIPALMENTE MUJERES NOS SEAN DESCONOCIDOS !!!
My lord this concerto is absolutely gorgeous. A most definite "must ". Thanks so much for sharing.
Amazing! Can't believe I just discovered this!
Haven't heard of it before. It is a gem!!! Thanks for posting.
This is great, can't believe I've never heard it before!
imrlyboredful I think you'll find it's the case with everyone,that with all the pieces they think are great,there woz a time before they heard it,and a time after they heard it.Wodja think,people are born with an awareness of their favourite music or sumfing??
@@darrylschultz9311 I put a like on your comment, but on reflection, I would think you are wrong. The point is not to declare to be surprise not to know his favourite music, but rather to be surprise this music is not so well known in spite of its quality, hence the difficulty to discover it before.
@@eldrake35 Yes I see your point-at first glance without thinking too deeply,it seemed to me he thought he should've somehow sensed it was great before he'd discovered it.
There's tons of stuff none of have heard. Look at how many resources and networks it takes to get performers to perform awork .How Uchida got DG to record Schonberg concerto I'll never know since so few(even professional trained scholarly the 3 or 4recordings we have before her are enough) want to hear it .
@@MrInterestingthings Looks like a listener who has heard a lot and "been around". Just one of those less known but remarkable pieces that can happen at any time during a perusal of the repertoire of the world. This work led me to the tone poems of another Eastern composer, Heino Eller.
I really enjoyed this. Yes !
Thank you for putting this recording available.
Lovely concerto by Lucija Garuta, and played with a powerful performance, elegance, and skilful, by Ms Circene..
wonderful
Este concerto para piano é algo sublime
Lovely concerto.
Joining in on the "Wow!" experience.
Another must hear that I totaly agree with.
I did liked this piano concerto ' s 1ST MOVT.. Wish more people would compose like that. After all like Mahler said: " Music is about the heart, and not about the notes" When composers start "intellectualizing" and trying to explain their music it usually means IT WILL BE MUSIC THAT WONT BE PLEASING TO THE HEART OF ITS LISTENERS , AND IT MIGHT EVEN HURT THEIR EARS AT THAT. MODERN COMPOSERS THAT COMPOSE ,WHAT LEO BROUWER CALLS "MUSICA QUE NO ES BONITA" ( MUSIC THAT IS NOT PRETTY)ARE NOT REALIZING THAT THEY SOUND LIKE A CHEF WHO MIGHT SAY: "THE FOOD I COOK DOESNT TASTE GOOD". WHO WILL EAT HIS FOOD THOUGH? YET MODERNIST COMPOSERS WHO PREFER NOISE OR DISSONANCES ARE ADAMANT YOU HEAR THEIR MUSIC. AND SNOBBY INTELLECTUALS CALL IT GOOD. WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SENSES YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THEY WERE PROGRAMMED IN BY GOD AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE REACTS THE SAME. THAT IS WHY EVERYONE LOVES THE ADAGIO FROM THE ARANJUEZ CONCERTO BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO THE CLANGY, DISSONANT AND UGLY MUSIC OF THE 20TH CENTURY. SEE THE SAME 20TH CENTURY THAT BROUGHT US THE USSR BASED ON MARX AND GOD IS DEAD BROUGHT US UGLY MUSIC AND UGLY PAINTINGS. WHAT HURT THEY BROUGHT DOWN UPON TO THEIR CHILDREN, AND GRAND CHILDREN. WHAT DISERVICE THEY DID TO THE WORLD....AH AND YES THEY DID INTELLECTUALIZED IT, RIGHT?
There are hundreds or thousand harmonic compositions in 20th and 21th century, (also mine) - but unfortunately: we are too late in history. You can
discover if you really want...
@@hansglangrieger2188 MR. Langrieger these times of so much bad taste will pass as well. JUST REMEMBER WHAT SAINT TERESA DE AVILA SAID: " EVERYTHING IS PASSING, ONLY GOD REMAINS".
I WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS SO EVERYTHING I SAY MUST BE CORRECT.
Hate to break it to you. I'm not an intellectual, just your average Joe. But I really like both this concerto and dissonant music. There's no need to explain it, I just do.
You need to seek some help for your anger.
Woah, woah, calm down.
Easy to fall in love with this music.It really has a lot of soul and ight. It sounds nothing like Rachmaninoff it has to much French influence in it for that like Franck with some Korngold in it .Very much like old film music :the German kind not he EnglishorRussian inspired kind from the1940's.
incroyable!!! very professional composer !!
Talented composer.
nice
Original et intéressant...
14:00 to end - such a fantastic ending! Totally unexpected!
Maravillosa música, no tiene nada que envidiarle a Rachmaninoff o autor masculino alguno♥
1- Lento pesante. Allegro sostenuto (0:00 - 14:42)
2- Grave (14:43 - 23:09)
3- Maestoso. Allegretto scherzando (23:10 - 35:12)
I was wondering if the Second Movement (14:44) is based on a hymn or traditional melody? Thank you for making this available!!
rare piece
Hi everyone!
Does anyone know where could I find the notes for this piece?
est-ce que j'entends plein de fausses notes de la part du/de la pianiste?
The Russians and Soviets knew how to make music.
She was a Latvian composer, not a Russian one. The Soviets did not appreciate her piano concerto.
A few of these tunes could have fitted into some of Puccini's operas
This is a mildly interesting and enjoyable concerto that lacks the last bit of inspiration, melodic interest, or originality. I became impatient with it, and even somewhat bored. It goes through all the motions of a virtuosic "showpiece", but left me unmoved; even its big climax was more labored than impressive.
I hate to say this but I find nothing here markedly memorable or remarkable. While her themes are dramatic, they are a bit too "generic" to be taken seriously. Even her piano writing though pianistic and virtuosic, doesn't really introduce anything new that we could call "trail blazing" nor looking forward to the 20th century as her motifs are still pretty much late romantic in the Anton Rubinstein and Arensky vein. The same can be said of her melodic and harmonic progressions short of becoming predictable.
In contrast, I've listened to Bortkiewiez's Bb minor piano concerto countless times and his themes never die nor get old on me though his piano writing may not be as that of Tchaikowsky's, yet the wide musical spectrum is well covered, at least for me.
To be fair to Garuta, I did try to wait and listen for great moments in this work though I honestly couldn't help getting unimpressed with the opening bars of the 1st movement. And though I wish she could redeem herself in the 2nd movement, it just didn't happen. And the last movement? I just couldn't go any further. In my opinion, the entire work lacks that coherence and excitement in story telling present in the works of Prokofieff and Glazunov and even Rachmaninoff. At this point I could even say that the Yellow River Piano Concerto far more fetches my interest and attention.
Perhaps for purposes of posterity and music history archives, Garuta deserves a place there.
TUBEROBOTTO, YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS NOT GOOD MUSIC OR IS EXCELLENT WELL COMPOSED MUSIC AND IT IS VERY CLEAR ON LISTENING THAT THIS PIANO CONCERTO IS CLEARLY EXCELLENT WELL COMPOSED MUSIC THAT IS ERY SATISFYING TO ALL PEOPLE IN VARIOUS WAYS. SO IF YOU CAN NOT GIVE PROPER CONSTRUCTIVE TRUE REPLIES, PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER TO PUT REPLIES ON YOU TUBE. I AM SORRY BUT I AM NOT BEING RUDE, BUT SPEAKING WHAT OBVIOUSLY IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
I agree with you. A lot of music from this period is thematic but not memorable. I feel as if they were trying to submit a movie score. It runs over itself. although I find Borkewitz dull as toast. Give me Moszkowski as the best underrated composrr
peter buckley Actually, you are being rude.
Andrew Petersen If you add the right things to it,toast can actually be quite yummy.P'raps try a little strawberry jam and cream,or even a teensy bit of vegemite.My personal preference on freshly buttered toast lately is some sardines with tomato,and a small sprinkle of salt and pepper.Jeez,now yer makin' me hungry.
tuberobotto I am so amused at how pretentious you are about this wonderful concerto. My hope is that it is rediscovered and becomes a regular staple of the concert repertoire.
nice
