Gdy słucham Karłowicza czuję Polskę, ale nie tylko Polskę. Czuję naszą wielką, wspaniałą Słowiańszczyznę. Moje wielkie Imperium i jego wielką kulturę gdzie w jednym rzędzie stoją Czajkowski, Karłowicz i Smetana. To jest nasze, uduchowione, nasze słowiańskie. I to jest nasza słowiańska muzyka wyrażająca tęsknoty naszego słowiańskiego narodu.
I've been looking for this piece for decades.... AND FINALLY!!!
Sadly you will most likely never hear this anywhere but here. But you are among good company. Remarkable music.
He is played quite often by Polish orchestras. He is also a patron of the Philharmonic in Szczecin (North-West Poland).
@@antonlavrovsky Thank you. Hearing this - as it were - from a Russian is quite a treat. Spasibo!
An unjustly ignored work - outstanding and original orchestration. Thanks for posting,
Like many Polish composers, he is known there, but not abroad. Not every country does a good job to promote its artists abroad.
J'ai cliqué sur tant de vidéos liées, à travers tant de paysages insolites, incroyables et étranges.. Je me sens comme dans un compartiment sur un chemin de fer, à admirer une succession de scènes folles jamais vues auparavant, des musiques importantes et étranges à travers la fenêtre du wagon.. il y a tant de choses à explorer, tellement d'endroits où se poser puis rester dans les ambiances proposées. Cet arrêt en particulier est brillant
Movement I: Andante; Allegro: 0:00
Movement II: Andante non troppo: 14:42
Movement III: Vivace; Molto meno mosso; Tempo I: 26:25
Movement IV: Allegro maestoso; Allegro ben moderato: 31:34
thanks !!!!!!
I usually scroll down to see if some helpful soul has done what you’ve done, so thanks Gustav!
Astounding music. I had never heard of this composer. The contrast from dark to light and the deeply melodic statements one minute Mahler , next Rimsky and Strauss. Fascinating sound . I am deeply moved and plan on hearing more.
My wife and I heard this symphony live last night (March 15th, 2019) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; performed by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. It plays again tonight. I had never heard of this amazing composer before. The standing ovation the audience gave at the end went forever. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing piece with the rest of us. it was like hearing Mahler, Elgar, Tchaikowski, and even Bernstein (3rd movement) all at once.
Bravo to the CPO for taking a step out of the well worn rut of 'mainstream' concert music. I hope they continue in that vein because there is so much good music that hardly ever gets an airing in public.
Jorge--It is amazing that you got the chance to hear this symphony live. Truly a once-in-a-a-lifetime experience. He is a forgotten gem, a master of the late Romantic orchestra.
Way to go, CPO!
So much yes. Tell CPO more of this. Of all the pieces I found because I found KuhlauDilfeng2 channel, this one makes me happiest.
The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra has a channel and this performance referenced is up. What OP says about applause going on forever is 1,000% true, and every bit of it deserved.
Great performance.
Muzyka Karłowicza wprowadza w inny wymiar. Widział ogrom przestrzeni i tkwiące tam piękno. Romantyzm płynący z jego muzyki odwodzi nas od współczesnego rozpędzonego świata. Genialny kompozytor.
One of the greatest endings in all of symphonic literature.
Wonderful music, great composer! What a huge loss for mankind as he died very young
so grateful to TH-cam for reminding me of these wonderful symphonies on the edge of the main symphonic repertoire. they will never be heard in concerts so recordings such as these are invaluable.
+keith thomas Am grateful too - so many wonderful finds that I would never have come across.
Karlowitz was killed by an avalanche in the Tatras mountains while he was still young (1876-1909). So, we have a few scores from him. They exhibit a postromantic character without track of expressionism - expressionism is not his character; the postromantism prevails definitely, especially in orchestration and in the mood of themes and cells, as well as in harmony. Keeping the sense of proportions, he could have been some kind of Polish Mahler, without expressionist features. This symphony is gorgeous, extremely beautiful. . He also wrote a splendid concerto for violin, some tone poems and lighter but excellent music as a serenade for strings. The Polish music stands firmly in the XXth century with composers such as Szymanowski; Lutoslawski, Penderecki and some others. It is a pity that a gifted composer in postromantic style was killed so young. This "rebirth symphony" is an outstanding masterwork in that style. It is his larger and most ambitious work by the discipline and the invention that a symphony demands. It is also his longest score, to my knowledge. This symphony is full of splendid idaes, it is indeed an awesome composition.
Karlowitz has most times metaphysical titles like "rebirth". This sound a bit Mahlerian and a bit Scriabinian. It would be interesting to find a study about the metaphysical vision of the author.. I could never find it. This is obviously linked to the spiritualist movement which prevailed in the mind of many intellectals at that time. I imagine that Karlowicz had a precise viion in mind. We lose something in understanding this symphony when we do not have this metaphysical key. When hearing this music, like in the cases of Mahler and Scriabin, we have the obscure feeling that it vehicles a hidden message.
NOTE; A simple proof of the ignorance about Karlowitz: it is impossible to get any score of him on IMSLP, which is full of scores of composers without any interest.
gracues per la información.un descobriment
Your comments are always a pleasure to read Gerard!
Here's a little bit (English abstract at the end) on Karłowicz: www.teoriamuzyki-pismo.amuz.krakow.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/teoriamuzyki10_2017_leszek_polony.pdf
Nice informations, thank you. But what do you mean by "without any interest"?
It's an old tradition: new/refreshing Polish art movements tended to turn to Tatra landscape and Tatra (Górale) culture (and Szymanowski is a model example). Bohdan Mazurek (a sound engineer and a composer, one of the hosts in the Polish Radio Experimental Studio) was also very keen on the Tatra climbing and was close to death few times during it. Tatra Mountains are actually rather dangerous :D
Вот прожила 63 года, закончила белорусскую консерваторию а не знала что по соседству был такой гениальный симфонист
Нарадзіўся у Вішнёва (цяпер Смаргонскі раён). Яго бацька Ян Карловіч сябраваў з Францішкам Багушэвічам, Федароўскім.
Я не надта разбіраюся ў музыцы, але пішуць штоесць сімфоніі на аснове беларускіх народных песень
@@Osobenny спасибо
This was one magnificent surprise.
The scope is vast, texture is gorgeous, & the themes are captivating.
Thank you for presenting this hidden gem.
Beautiful. I found Polish Composer Karlowitz tonight in my studies of Orchestration.
Thank you @Gerard Begni for sharing insight on the composer and his life
Unbelivably - I am polish, I am musician - and I didn't know it ! That's great , melodic peace. It's not so heavy as Szymanowski's pieces from similar time.
Heard the violin concerto a while ago, but missed this. Absolutely wonderful.
So much wonderful music to discover, so little time.
SO MUCH THANKS TO THIS CHANNEL: I have discovered so many obscure composers who wrote music so wonderful that they deserve wider recognition, such as this one, and now I'm telling others. Love this piece, love the channel
Em época de efervescente dodecafonismo, êste e outros destacados autores produziram maravilhas que vale a pena ouvir. Agradecer esta e outras postagens deste magnífico canal nunca chega a ser bastante.
Majestic, Great , inspired, romantic, marvellous up and down, energic, imperial, full of surprises. Again Karlowicz is pleasing me that much .I already used his composition to illustrate one of my poems. I shall have the privilegie to attend this Symphony- at the Great Councert Hall - Sala Minas Gerais - to be Performed by our marvellous Philarmonic Orchestra of Minas Gerais State, Belo Horizonte, Brazil , on the 8 of june 2017 - Congratulations to Fabio Mechetti , for the choice and to the Conductor Wagner Polistchuk .Great Poland !Richard Garrell, Belo Horizonte, Brazil -7th june 2017
Yeah, Poland is a sort of greatness but most Poles never knew it :P
Dziękuję!
This is too good to be real
Mr. Karłowicz bows his hat :D
There are so many outstanding works coming into being in the past several years. Why were they forgotten in the past? Why never played by our symphonies and artists?
Symphonies need to be able to pay their bills. They can attract some audience by playing the well-known repetoire. They can get grants and attract attention with doing premieres of new works.
It's very difficult to sell 100 year old pieces by unfamiliar composers.
That's why TH-cam is great to help people find pieces like this.
Isn't it a pity how ignorance affects supply & demand?
This symphony is magnificent in all criteria!!
wspaniały polski kompozytor, rewelacyjna muzyka.
I think all symphonic compositions like this from around 1900 are amazing, maybe even the best. Elgar, Bax, Karlowicz, Bloch... it all just seems so much more fantastic than the composers a century their senior.
True-up until the middle of the 19th century a lot o' the music was rather predictable to the late 20th/early 21st century ears,then it gradually became more interesting coz it was less predictable and more unusual-while there was still enough undiscovered ways of comin' up with beauty. So you had the best of both worlds just in that little window of the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries.But by about the middle of the 20th century all the genuinely beautiful and moving ways of stringing a bunch of notes together had been pretty much exhausted,and so compositions generally became more and more weird and incomprehensible,just coz all the appealing ideas were already in some earlier masterpiece. So novelty has been elevated to a level beyond its true value in warming the cockles of the human heart-soon it'll be all that's left to strive for. But that's the way of everything-things ain't limitless,including beautiful ideas in music. All the beauteous ways of combining sound have now been pretty much sucked dry-but not completely, coz even during the last 50-70 years an occasional gem containing new ideas WHICH ARE ALSO GENUINELY MOVIN' & BEAUTIFUL, will emerge from the forest of stuff rivetting not for any great tear-jerking qualities,but for their ability to perplex to the max(and this is often taken to be a sign of incredible genius,with people falling over each other to be the one to laud its extraordinary vision and profundity the loudest-before heading to their stereo to put on Elgar's Symphony No.1 or Rachyboy's Piano Concerto No. 3!).
@@darrylschultz9311 There are plenty of pieces from the middle of the 20th century and later that are neither weird or incomprehensible! Try Kurt Atterberg and Dag Wiren from Sweden, Heino Eller and Eduard Tubin from Estonia, Grace Williams from Wales, Olivier Messiaen, Jacques Ibert, Arthur Honegger and many others from France, Einojuhani Rautavaara from Finland...
Do not forget Nielsen, Mahler, R. Strauss, Holst, Sibelius...
Happy to come across this as I go down another youtube symphony rabbithole
Fantastic symphony ! Sit back with a glass of wine & let the music flow over you !
Robert Anderson Certainly a better idea than sitting back with some music and letting a glass of wine flow over you!
Das nenne ich MUSIK!! MUSIK vom schönsten vom schönsten!! Diese sollte in jedem Laden, in jedem Restaurant laufen überall auf der Welt. Rund um die Uhr. so wie man überall mit dem POP mist zugedröhnt wird sollte man jetzt genau überall diese musik anhören damit sich die junge Generation an die wahren Musikkünstler des frühen 20.jht. sinngemäss erinnern!!!!!
could you pls write in English ? I would like t know your comments !
your language is spoken by barely 10% of the world population, you can use the online translation (translate.google.com/)
here is a translation: That's what I call MUSIC !! MUSIC from the most beautiful to the most beautiful !! This should run in any store, in any restaurant anywhere in the world. Around the clock. just as you are alluded to the POP crap, you should listen to this music right now, so that the young generation can look forward to the true musicians of the early 20th century. recall meaningfully !!!!!
Ich teile die Meinung, Bravo!
Heavenly!
Indeed a great
masterpiece.
Wonderful new symphonies....but I must admit that I had never heard one of them...until now.
Beautiful. A magnificent symphony!
An absolute masterpiece!
Thanks. I surely enjoyed this little known yet well written symphony.
Another fantastic discovery. A 'world symphony' in the tradition of Mahler and Scriabin.
As always great music and orchestration from this composer
Altro splendido pezzo.
Inspiring! Bravo!
Grande obra de mais um grande compositor infelizmente fora da mídia.
... eine wunderbare kraft- und charaktervolle nationalromantische Symphonie - schade dass die "polnische Stimme" von M.Karlowicz im internationalen Konzertbetrieb nicht öfter zu hören ist - es wäre lohnend - das gilt für sein gesamtes Oeuvre! - Den Postern in TH-cam sei herzlich gedankt!
Erland Schneck-Holze -- Ich bin damit einverstanden...True, a rare, exquisite vintage echo of The Golden Schwäbisch Age! (Tut mir Leid...Ich meinte 'Schuldaufdeckungsangst…..Ebenmäißgkeitsentzückung- Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz!)
Herzlich, Mexikaner Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän !
Nice work. Every now and again I'm back on it!
I really love the passage starting at 22:45, it is just soo beautiful.
What a great loss to musical world it was to lose such a great genius at such a young age in an accident. Judged by small collection of his works, had he had lived to maturity, he would have easily surpassed Wagner+Mahler+Strauss three of them combined, in the mastery of colorful large orchestral composition.
Perhaps you are grasping when you thro in Wagner. Yrs ago, people would hail Meyerbeer as Wagner's master. Listen to them today: Meyerbeer is weak, lacks full vitality, & you call tell who the true genius is... Mahler spent too much time conducting: If only he had written more---then we could judge his true worth. As was written about Hesiod: if only all his poetry was written like this, he would have surpassed Homer. If only.....
No, I was lumping three copy-cat composers with ambitions for large orchestra composition; Strauss being the best of them. Wagner borrowed heavily from Berlioz (without giving credit). I have seen parody cartoons of Wagner plagiarizing "Le corsaire"; just to name one.

Just little replay buttons for me :)
An awesome high-intensity work which also offers easy listening as well.
This is wonderful!
Wonderful dear. Amazing post. Many thanks for to share this dear Fantastic
thank you!
I am absolutely speechless... It is just 06:20, and my jaw is still on the floor. This is incredibly beautiful!.. Reminds me of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Francesca da Rimini’, Scriabin’s Symphonic Poem in d moll, and Langgaards’s 1st Symphony.
f1f1s Not to mention Guiseppe Martucci's Symphony No. 1, 1st movement!
Was that a cough in the background?
Thank you! 😃❤
Great FINAL!!! :) :) :)
Builds wonderfully.
Great piece! It reminds me a lot of Elgar mixed with Tchaikovsky. Such a shame he wasn't able to write more works!
I do not feel any influence from Tchaikovski in that work. It would be interesting to kow if he knew about Gustav Mahler, who did not compose so much in 1902 - and also about Scriabin.
I agree. Some of those burgeoning melodies have a Tchaikovskian soariness...? Soarnicity? They soar!
@@gerardbegni2806 Part of the first movement does remind me of Tchaikovsky 6
Fantastic!
Excelente, bravo.
Brilliant!
Great music :) Where did you pick the picture from? Is it a painting?
Young Poland Style, thats is,when i heard this song i fell like guy who born im cpuntry with not independ,guy who fell inside sadnsess despracion,lose,but who still dont give up
la fin du 1er mouvement : magnifique
love this post romantic period in music ,so different ,certain charm about it.
ochen velikolepniy!!! spasiba
Świetne. utwór, wykonanie... Mało gra się Karłowicza. Dlaczego?
@@majmx Bo Beethoven jest lepiej znany i na pewno się sprzeda. Polecam poematy symfoniczne Karłowicza, Koncert skrzypcowy oraz innych polskich kompozytorów, np. Zygmunta Noskowskiego.
I knew there had to be Polish composers that I didn't know
You would be surprised, how many of them were excellent, yet no one knows them. People focus on Chopin, maybe sometimes on Paderewski, Wieniawski,Gorecki, Szymanowski, Penderecki, but the others? Unknown to the public, even in Poland.
Composición de música interesante.

That's a really great work! Thank you @KuhlauDilfeng2! Do you know also the name of the paint??
KuhlauDilfeng2, good taste always!!!
This is world music. Many thanks for posting it. It is not important but does anybody know who's painting is that above?
That artwork is really cool where is it from?
I felt a fleeting shadow of Richard Straus's "death and transfiguration" atmosphere.

DAMN! this shit is wonderful. why aren't we hearing more of this fella's work? his melodic's are wonderful, stately, imperial (in a nice way) makes me wanna take off my toupee and have another vodka-tonic
+spactick this music is great--and i'll have one with you--
Why do you feel it's ok to use a word that contributes nothing but in fact detracts from otherwise intelligent comments?
Lewis, you´re fucking pedantic and prim. See?: I can judge too. Do you like it? No? Live and let live, please.
because they do !!!
I love this symphony too. But you should probably take off your toupee anyway :).
What is this picture intended for? A skull in the center of a desolate place is not a pleasant sight. It seems it has something to do with this beautiful enjoyable music.
It finally dawned on me that it is the title of the symphony, 'Rebirth'.
The music and the company are inspired.
Notice the distinctive skull -- center of painting .Someone thought the music pictured death in this symphony .
Helt fantastiskt! Skrev han några fler symfonier?

Nice
You have to get deep into a list of well-known composers of the period to find a greater orchestrator than Karlowicz.
What about the cover-background man? Is it a painting, is it a bird, a stone, is it alive? Maybe you could give the name of the painter? thanx anyway.. Hope u ll post more info...

Pierwsza klasa.
Does anybody know the name of the painting?
the illustration reminds me of a recurring theme in the novel Ender's Game....
It reminds me of Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini or Manfred Symphony
34:20 and 35:39 sounds like anthem
Good Sir, if it is at all possible can you provide me with a link to the background image that you have used in this video? I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
see he is a saggitarrius ,he has to be good. I,m proud to be one

Tyvärr inte, E-moll-symfonin var den enda han hann fullborda innan sin för tidiga död.

oo
Karlowicz was born in the North-West of what today is Belarus, but was considered Lithuania in his time. He was well aware of this mixed indentity of the country, and was inspired by local music, notably in his Lithuanian rhapsody (1906). Pity that he is forgotten in the country of his birth even more than elsewhere. In his music he definitely anticipated the endless series of terrible catastrophies awaiting this poor land - two world wars and Soviet occupation that, in fact, is lasting until now. Sad greeting from (fascist) Belarus, or, rather, for Karlowicz, from Eastern Lithuania
Карлович был поляком. Вы наверное мечтаете о Речи Посполитой?? Мечтаете быть крепостными крестьянами у польских помещиков???
What a loss. What he would have gone on to write would have been magnificent.
A great ending. Hard-won, I'm sure.
6:21 it's not a symphony without audience coughing
looks like tchaikovsky's 5th sym.
32:52
Please stop comparing lesser-known composers to more well-known ones. i.e. "It sounds like Tchaikovsky married Wagner and they had a love child which was raised by Mahler." It's insulting to all parties involved. Art is not created in a vacuum and indeed he was no doubt influenced by others, but his music sounds like Karlowicz. Let's just leave it at that and try to appreciate the music without trying to force it into a classification that doesn't suit it. Let's open our minds not force new things into old patterns.
THANK YOU!!
I agree to a point, but the world is full of comparisons. Everything is compared to other things constantly. That's how we learn and live. It's normal and natural.
I'd call it Romantic- almost Elgarian in places...
That finish tho
