it is an interesting composition . A very sympatic dialogue between two solists in the third movement .. yes, I like this work ❤
My friend Gordon Thomas has just written a novel based on Ethel Smyth's life, which has drawn me to listening to her music. This is a terrific piece with great melodies and excellent orchestration and deserves to be played, widely known and enjoyed.
Ethel Smyth was for me an unknown composer until I discovered her through the YT advertising. The combination of a horn and a violin solo with the orchestra attracted me, reminding me of the chamber music of Brahms ( trio for horn, violin and piano). I was not deceived. The writing is quite classical, especially for a piece written in 1927, but the dialog betwwen the soloists and the orchesra is inventive, full of surprises and appealing details. This is an intersting composition.
Can I recommend you check out her wonderful opera The Wreckers? Very dramatic and thrilling.
@@foveauxbear This work by her is better, I think, than her more famous The Wreckers. Both works merit a listen though.
Belle interprétation de ce double concerto néoclassique avec le son soyeux du violon solo et le ton doux du cor solo ainsi que les sonorités colorées des autres instruments. Le maestro intelligent dirige l'orchestre parfaitement formé à un tempo bien formulé avec une dynamique soigneusement contrôlée. Vraiment admirable 🧙♀🧚💖
So subtle, so unknown.Thanks
I'm so glad to have discovered this woman, and the her work is ever so worthy of equal consideration as any.... Her one and only published string quartet is an endless source of delight...Thank You!!....
some nice passages of music Smyth needs to be heard more - so sad these composers were neglected (women and men)
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses neoklassischen Doppelkonzerts mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und mildem Ton des Solohorns sowie farbenreichen Töne anderer Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!
Magnificent!
This has got humour! A nice composition, thank you!
Such sensitive instrumentation, intelligent and well thought through.
I first heard of Ethel Smyth recently, while reading Bruno Walter, A World Elsewhere, by Erik Ryding and Rebecca Pechefsky. Bruno
Walter was a big fan, and premiered some of her works.
My intro to ethyl smyths work was march of the women. its one of my favorite songs now
beautiful piece of music. strange that i never heard of it before
Great sounding of the horn chords
Lovely. A great find for me. Thank you for the upload.
She and Amy Beach (aka Mrs. H.H.A. Beach) and Florence Price were the pioneers of female composers who worked actively during a time when there were ZERO women in symphony orchestras, zero female music directors, VERY few female instrumental virtuosos - and what few there were, were pretty well in last place as classical music was not known to be a woman's 'thing'... Women at that time were destined to teach instrumental music lessons, rear children, tend the garden, and keep the home for their husband. Thankfully, a few women dared to compose - knowing that their output was not going to ever be recognized in their lifetimes.
This piece features in the UK 2022 Proms season (Prom 14) at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Mentioned in the video but not in the description: the violinist is Saschko Gawriloff
Beautifull concierto.
Amazing
❤
Always loved this piece. Thanks for posting!
I wish I could perform this with a horn player. WOW!
Were are you from?
Interesting, there is a touch of the Brahms Violin Concerto in it but quite a work of its own individuality. Probably the only works of similar conservative style were some of SIbelius' works. Unfortunately, its conservatism probably worked against it being considered a great work at the time.
But the recurrence of motives in a cyclical fashion and their ongoing variation seems informed by SIbelius with a few bits of the harmonic language of Debussy (a whole tone scale pops up here or there and harmonized). I like this work very much - the orchestration for the choice of solo instruments she chose must have been a challenge - which she pulls off wonderfully. An excellent work that needs to be heard and relieve hearers of the repetition of overplayed (though worthwhile) works.
Sadly I have to disagree with almost everything you say. I cannot hear the composition styles of Brahms, Sibelius or Debussy in any of this music.
What I can hear is..................Smyth!
A fascinating choice of solo instruments that works very well indeed.
Does anyone else hear bits of Star Wars in this? I wonder if this influenced John Williams.
Davvero in gamba come donna e come compositrice. Non ha scritto sinfonie o un concerto per pianoforte ma non ha importanza; la sua musicaera sicuramente all'altezza degli altri musicisti (uomini per esempio)e onestamente non capisco la nomenclatura musicale di qeul tempo l'avesse disprezzata così tanto. Ma è facile a capirlo lei faceva parte di quel gruppo di donne che volevano i diritti allargati anche a loro; i tabù in Inghilterra a quei tempi erano durissimi nei confronti di chi professava contro alle logiche del potere.
Comunque la storia ormai è questa e non si può cambiare, così è andata, anzi debbo scrivere che la Smyth per le sue idee libertarie fu messa in prigione per due mesi circa.
Infatti la sua appartenenza alle "suffragette", così erano chiamate le donne del movimento, la condannò. Ma le sue risorse musicali, dopo la prigione, tornarono meglio di prima tanto che anche il direttore d'orchestra Beecham fu conquistato dalla sua nusica. Grande e radiosa, è un esempio per tutti gli artisti a venire.

Yes, he is great!
