This piece just brings me to my knees. Incredibly melodic but Ginastera constantly twists and turns from your expectations in all the right ways. Also what a creative use of the harp, I can never view the instrument the same after hearing this
So wonderful to hear (and see!) this magnificent Concerto! When I was in graduate school I met Maestro Ginestera. He came to our regular weekly around-the-table seminar and since I was the only one there who knew any Spanish, I clumsily translated what I could for him. So glad to meet him again in this wonderful music!
The Minnesota Orchestra has performed this work twice and I never was able to get to a live performance--darn it! But I really do love this work and would love to hear more of Ginestera any time!
Cette musique se déplie comme un livre d'images plein d'étoiles, où viennent filer les oiseaux, tourner les farandoles, claquer les crécelles et danser les sorciers 🧙♂
I accompanied this years ago... Quite a demanding piano part - orchestral reduction. But it was fun. Nice memories though - on my over-stressed/nervous friend who played this on her graduation concert.
i had had a recording of zabaleta playing this. loved it. years ago, i saw and heard nancy allen in recital and asked her about this recording. the only thing i remember her saying about it after i mentioned i wanted to find this recording was that the experience of recording this was dreadful for her. does not diminish the recording, however. magnificent
@@dzordzszs popol vuh and the second piano concerto are my personal favorites but also his operas I think while maybe less “fun” are much more interesting and impactful, this is a great work no doubt about it, I just think that it’s proof that ginastera’s work was consistently awesome
Not all of the time but definitely some of the time I hear suggestions of Bernstein. The Ginastera purists will claim it is all Ginastera and that Bernstein is copying.
Not really, theres a lot of harp extended technique and the harp is pretty much the soul of it, considering it seems to create paralels between the harp and the guitar, thing that would not work as well with the piano.
EVEN with headphones, one can see how SO many passages are just unnecessary due to the obvious lack of volume in the Harp. Interesting figures are obliterated by "too loud" accompaniment. GOOD lesson in how to and how NOT to write for the harp :)
yeah there are definitely accompaignment parts where you dont hear the harp clearly.. but thats not a problem at all. Why should the harp only play in the piano sections and stop when the orchestra goes to forte?
00:01 I - Allegro guisto
08:41 II - Molto moderato
16:24 III - Liberamente capriccioso (cadenza), 20:24 - Vivace
Thank you for posting so much fine music.
I love how the harp is so aggressive and biting, and not just angelic. It really shows the haunting side of the instrument

at 3:36 is a rare occassion to hear trumpet playing all the notes correctly.
OMG yes
💀💀💀
I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THIS PIECE FOR 25 YEARS AND THIS DIDN'T CHANGE THAT!
I love the sudden transition from the cadenza to the vivace, and the vivace is incredible!
The Minnesota Orchestra has performed this work twice and I never was able to get to a live performance--darn it! But I really do love this work and would love to hear more of Ginestera any time!
Holy shit someone did it THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!
Dzięki kanałowi Cmaj7 poznaję wiele ciekawej współczesnej muzyki tzw.poważnej jak twórczość Alberta Ginastera w doskonałym wykonaniu
It is a unique work that can feel both Greek and Latin American colors. Ginastera is always great!
Wow finally some Ginastera I like! Really love the tonal colours in this :)
check out his 2nd cello concerto and 2nd piano concerto! mindblowing works

This is stole my breath. I’m dead. Help me please.
No, no....Don't worry! Just STAY that way....It'll feel better as you ACCEPT it more....Cheers!
Beautiful, and that's the first time I've said that about Ginastera.
What about "Estancia" or Danza de la moza donosa"?
second part was completely unnecessary
@@sneddypie it really was
@@mr.clasher-clashofclansboo7286not really
Wow, that was unexpected! Hope to see more Ginastera, like his "Variaciones Concertantes" for example ;)
Dont know if you’re still around on youtube but i uploaded it :)
Really love Ginastera's tonal work. Thank you for posting.
Wooooah, amazing upload, thank you !
The orchestration at 4:48 is godly
6:10 too
So Beautiful ! ! ! Thank you for posting !
This is brilliant! Great work.
Your channel never fails to amaze me.
Pentameron yeah subscribed 🖐🏼
Yay! A score with the piece! I’ve literally been searching for this for more than a week lol
What a masterpiece!
I accompanied this years ago... Quite a demanding piano part - orchestral reduction. But it was fun. Nice memories though - on my over-stressed/nervous friend who played this on her graduation concert.
That is amazing! I wish to play this one day 🥺
This is excellent! Thank you! ✌🏼
I was thinking for a moment that I was hearing a successor of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
i had had a recording of zabaleta playing this. loved it. years ago, i saw and heard nancy allen in recital and asked her about this recording. the only thing i remember her saying about it after i mentioned i wanted to find this recording was that the experience of recording this was dreadful for her. does not diminish the recording, however. magnificent
Amazing. I'd really appreciate it if you could post more Ginastera.
Brilliant.
❤❤ De mis favoritas de Ginastera
Ginastera es un genio. Lamentablemente no muy reconocido en su propio país.
Que lastima!
The harp is an underrated instrument . . not of the same genre but Dorothy Ashby has a good jazz album with the harp which I suggest people check out
Sounds like John Williams took some influence from the first and last movements for his chase/action scenes in Star Wars Episode 2.
Masterpiece
20:25 Boo!!
Also recommend you a harp concerto by Reinhold Glieré, which is completely different style
Thanks for the recommendation! :D
There's some Stravinsky in the ending.
RDVMusic There is some Falla in every single note xD
Iván Casado Well i know Stravinsky much more than Falla so I don't know
The firebird
RDVMusic take a look at Falla's concerto pour clavecin and 5 instruments
Iván Casado Okay, thanks
Best thing Ginastera ever wrote
Not even close imo
@@zgart Then what is/are the best in your opinion?

Cool!!!!

Lately your post have been great! Could you do more pieces for clarinet too!?
lo mejor ¡......escrito para arpa ¡¡
Excelente orquestrador!
13:14 nice sonority 👍
The advertisements really made it uncomfortable.
Sounds like the music that plays on Columbo when the murder is being committed. I likes it
Do you have any vocal music by Ginastera in stock? :)))
What genre is this piece?
20th century orchestral music
trap
I'm pretty sure Motoi Sakuraba, Ramin Djawadi, and Yoko Shimomura were all inspired by this piece.
Good piece for the harp repertoire, but doesn’t the concept work better if it’s a piano concerto?
Not really, theres a lot of harp extended technique and the harp is pretty much the soul of it, considering it seems to create paralels between the harp and the guitar, thing that would not work as well with the piano.

@@nobleamani64 No, i just checked interesting parts
@@아아나난-d3l ok thanks. I’ve been trying to figure out the form
3:02 The tambourine part is played wrong. (Brazilian tambourine is soooo hard so I don't blame the percussionist.)
too bad you can hardly hear the harp.....
EVEN with headphones, one can see how SO many passages are just unnecessary due to the obvious lack of volume in the Harp. Interesting figures are obliterated by "too loud" accompaniment. GOOD lesson in how to and how NOT to write for the harp :)
yeah there are definitely accompaignment parts where you dont hear the harp clearly.. but thats not a problem at all. Why should the harp only play in the piano sections and stop when the orchestra goes to forte?
Yes, because there is only one fixed way to write for harp. And all concertos MUST let the soloist shine AT ALL TIMES
yes, it is great concerto, but the orchestration is overwhelming for the harp.
Its also something to note: the harp sounds louder in other recordings, it depends on acoustics
