Lutosławski - Livre pour Orchestre (Audio + Full Score)

- Livre pour Orchestre is organised into four ‘chapters’ separated by three interludes (short melodic fragments ‘ad libitum’ and not conducted). Lutoslawski has said that the music of these interludes is deliberately insignificant, serving merely as points of relaxation for the audience. Each interlude lasts about twenty seconds; the first is scored for three clarinets, the second for two clarinets and harp, and the third for harp and piano.
In the first chapter, the strings predominate with plaintive, questioning glissandi framing an episode for brass and percussion. Chapter 2 is more dynamic: it begins with the glittering sounds of plucked strings and pitched percussion, followed by longer and more loquacious contributions from wind and brass. Chapter 3 incorporates aspects of both the preceding chapters.
Only gradually does one realise that the third interlude, far from being insignificant, is growing into something much larger - into the final chapter, which emerges as the interlude isntruments (harp and piano) begin to attract those sonorities which began the second chapter. There is a slow release of energy, with the main orchestra gradually taking over and the texture fanning outwards. The individual blocks get shorter and more active, until the whole texture is whipped up into a pulsating, brief scherzo just before the climax. But the climax does not have the last say: while it is still going on, a door is opening on to a new world. Perhaps this lyrical coda for two flutes, accompanied by a strung chorale, is Lutoslawski’s ‘unanswered question’. (John Casken)

In my humble opinion this is Lutosławski's masterpiece and a very great piece indeed.
Agree. One of the seminal works from the 1960s.
This is an astonishing masterpiece, but if you haven’t heard the Third Symphony, I would highly recommend it. I’m not sure one piece is better than the other.
@@rowanbelt3612 The third symphony is undoubtedly a symphonic masterpiece of XX century (as Messiaen's Turangalîla) but personally I appreciate his fourth symphony even more... and also enjoy more I symphony to the concerto for orchestra... but this is only my preference...
Vraiment excellent, une composition remarquable que je découvre ! Une des chefs-œuvres de Lutoslawski 👌
13:22 is one of the most passionate and ecstatic moments in contemporary music.
I chanced upon this score as a college music student in the late 1970s, drawn among other things to the extraordinary calligraphy. The same music library also happened to have the Jan Krenz recording (It was unusual for them to have a rare Muza LP from Poland-still the best, I think). I found “Livre” devastating upon first listen, and I still do. This is one of the great works. Extraordinary. In the fourth “chapter”, the three great silences at the climax pack more intensity into the atmosphere than any other work I can think of.
Not every one knows that Lutosławski wanted the piece to bear the titile of a symphony, that should be than the third, but a pure case did forbid it. The concert programmes for the world premiere, with intended previous title Livre pour orchestre, were already in the print, so humble Lutosławski accepted the fate. The story only shows how important this piece was for the composer, indeed a symphonic masterpiece of last centure. I highly recommend the 1969 recording of the piece with the Warsaw Philharmonic and Jan Krenz as conductor.
I think the composer’s initial smaller-scale intentions for this piece express themselves in the indescribable chamber-music quality that pervades the piece. I think it has something to do with the interaction of instrument families, where material is kept separate between families but united within each one. At any rate, I like to say that Lutoslawski wrote 5, not 4 symphonies for this reason. :)
@Juliusz M - THANK YOU! I've been searching for that specific 1969 recording of this piece for 40 years and finally have access to it again thanks to you.

Lutosławski himself held Krenz in high esteem for his own musical interpretations.
Insanely unique usage of strings and percussion creates such an amazing texture which gives me goosebumps for 21 minutes straight.

Those microtones are so clear-
Beautifully eerie piece.
Thank you very much for the score. It is a masterpiece.
¡¡Gracias por subirla!!
Fantastic, thank you!
Very intresting piece!
This wonderful score is indeed a turnpoint in Lutoslawski's utcome. His basic technique is perfect; he had quite innovative ideas, among others about putting some order in the so-callesd 'stocchastic' approach, which are no longer experimental but fully assimilated, expressed and integrated. There is some kaind of Apollinian overarching order ruling all these complex musical moments, which make it an absolute pmaasterwork, just like the stone on top of a cathedral ceining where all the gigantic forces running all along the pillars reach a miraulous equilibrium. This language will have further autstanding elaborations, like for instance the outstanding cello concerto written for Rostropovich, but the very source is here. This is indeed a "Contemporary Classical" !!! :-)
I should add that the scrolling score is obviously quite intersting, but footnotes are difficult to read, which does not help in understanding the peculiar way how the composer makes use of random prtocess while keeping an absolute control on the whole rendeering and its strict coherence.
Beautifully worded comment!!
Omg thank you!!!

Please do his Third Symphony!
I attended a very early performance of this work at Finney Chapel in Oberlin (my hometown), with the Conservatory orchestra conducted by Robert Baustian. I think this was in the Spring of 1972, but it might have been as late as the Fall of 1973. Either way, I think it might pre-date the work's official US premiere. The conductor had some odd (and incorrect) ideas about how to convey the function of the interludes. When I asked the composer about this, years later, he looked pained. Still, the music made a much stronger impression on me at the time than did my first hearing of the Brahms first Piano Concerto, the other work on that program.

Wow! 😁
This is from tomekkobialka's channel, not jleightcap.
Corrected now. Think it's not been up for a while...
Well played! Whose recording is this?
I believe this is from the 2 CD EMI set of Lutoslawski works conducted by the great composer, himself
The beginning sounds like music from the TV series "Dark".
LPO was composed in 1965-68.

I believe he taught higher mathematics as well as composition at the university of Texas ? I do hear Verez and Bartok in this one
