Je commente souvent les vidéos, ce n'est pas une blague. Après avoir écouté cela avec des écouteurs au lit, j'ai eu ma première nuit de sommeil décente depuis des semaines. Tellement de stress s'est accumulé dans mon esprit que j'ai eu du mal à fonctionner dans les routines quotidiennes. Cela m'a évité plusieurs visites chez un psychothérapeute 🦹♀
The more I listen to it, the worse it sounds. Like a bad smell in the carpet that doesn't go away but just irks your nose more and more until you finally have to burn the entire house down.
@@carlhopkinson its because you are brainwashed by utter garbage called pop and rap. You tonal fans have no place to give an opinion on a wonderful masterpiece like this. There is lots of things portrayed in this piece, and although I would love to go over it, it wouldn't do you any good being the low class, nonexistent music critic you are.
Some months ago, my ear wasn't really mature for hearing this kind of stuff. Now, I'm glad I have regret to this video, and hear the beautiful and complex harmonies that this composer used. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful! First heard these pieces performed by pianist Regis Benoit with Orion recording label but I can't find this anywhere. That recording also had a set of variations on Liszt's Nuages Gris by Paul Tourok (sp?). Hauntingly beautiful if you can find it.
Adore Szymanowski’s music. I’m wondering if folks on this channel can help me track down a most amazing recording of Karol Szymanowski’s Metopes by a pianist named Regis Benoit. Also featured on this recording is the piano music of Paul Turok. There is a piece by Turok on this recording that consists of variations on a theme of Liszt ‘s Nuages Gris. Absolutely amazing piano performance if you can find it.
How does one even begin to compose something like this with such complexity... I mean, can they hear this in their head or does it come out through experimentation?
Likely at the piano, and after studying intensely into theory. After that, a general idea of the sounds can occasionally appear in the head... all Szymanowski needed to do was test his chordal ideas and structures at the piano. Instead of thinking about each pattern with the exact notes or chords he wanted in mind, he probably thought of them as rhythms or textures, or "trills" and "rolls" and "runs" and "droplets"... in the same manner that atonalists isolate harmony from music (of course, harmony is not gone in his work).
Without TH-cam I might never have heard this. I am glad to have done so though I am not sure if time listening to it is deservedly taken away from further listening to Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Handel, Wagner, Britten, etc... But it is a "voice" worth hearing.
Szymanowski is one of Poland's most important composers, and is considered by some to be *the* greatest after Chopin. His work is a veritable treasure trove that definitely deserves to be explored. His first violin concerto seems to be one of his most widely recorded and performed works (the Naxos recording by Kulka is beautiful, as is Benedetti's recording), and is an outstanding example of the music he wrote during his impressionist period, alongside Symphony no. 3, Metopes, Masques (also for solo piano) and Mythes (for violin and piano). Piotr Anderszewski is a big champion of his music, and his recordings of the solo piano pieces are excellent.

The more I listen to it, the more I like it ...! This is really the kind of music that deserves to be understood in depth.

@@carlhopkinson what a stupid comment !!!!
I am anything but synaesthetic, but this is perhaps the music that, above all, comes closest to stimulating my senses beyond the ear.

You should really try Szymanowski's Violin Concertos. They're probably the best I ever heard (with the exception of Alban Berg's)
The point is not only the harmonies by themselves, but also if not chiefly the way how they are linked, interrogating the notion of tonality.
Bravo, Mr. Roscoe on this performance! I could easily get used to listening to this when wanting buoyancy in life. Amazing piece.
Szczęście, to możliwość słuchania genialnych dzieł muzycznych naszego wielkiego rodaka Karola Szymanowskiego ❤️
Like impressionist version of scriabin. The messing around of light and dark. Not a piece id study but stunning to listen to
Maravilhoso é ouvir música nova que para mim é,

This is beautiful
Wow very complex music. Must be incredibly difficult to play. Nice performance.
It’s brutal haha
And not just for the technical but the integrative aspect especially
oh god, it’s a finger twister! The results of practicing a little harder would be amazing though.
Adore Szymanowski’s music.

maybe as an LP, here www.offtherecord.ie/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16534
Musique éminemment poétique et subtile. ❤
To valerieheinder: Political? What on earth do you mean?
@richardvolpe7664 oups...mon ordi se joue de moi. Merci infiniment.
This work feels almost in a manner of late Debussy and late Scriabin
Absolutely true
Reminds "Verse la flamme" by Scriabin
譜面が芸術的で美しすぎる！
浮彫石板も目で楽しみますが、譜面そのものにも描かれてるのかもしれません。
音楽への探究と、このテンポ感から生まれるピアノの技巧の可能性と過不足ないところが、凄い。

Sorabji allegedly did all of his composing away from the piano, and yet he is somehow my favorite composer. It's hard for me to comprehend that.
Just how scientist invent new formulas
Lovely upload. Just check the timings in the description. :)
+Piano Telope Oops! Didn't realise I forgot to add them!
Same year as Scriabin's death. I suggest he stuck around and haunted Karol Szymanowski.
.Agree...esp with the 10th sonata.
@@122112guru Yes it has a very similar atomsphere
I think that AS has remained in the ether to haunt many of us.😉

Yeah, appreciation of music is a zero-sum game where time taken to listen to Szymanowski is subtracted from Mozart-enjoying hours
This is way better than the music of the aforementioned composers.
I think your time would be better spent listening to this instead of Handel and Britten
@@punkpoetry Not really, Schoenberg saved me time listening to counterpoint.
The Island of sirens is like Ravel's Ondine on steroids (difficulty speaking)
The first non-Russian to be influenced by Scriabin probably.
to be consumed with some Čiurlionis
Have not heard of this artist before! I am in love with his paintings now
Čuirlionis was also a composer!

This is just incompetant.
Nice and interesting for 1 minute but 12 minutes is really to much
shush
No I’m sorry I’m a Pianist and thinks this piece is full of random notes put together
