Linda obra contemporânea. Quanta alegria rítmica e homenagens a Boulez, Bartók e Ligeti, dentre outros mestres. Parabéns Pintscher e o talentosíssimo grupo instrumental.

a wonderfully exhilarating composition beautifully performed - a discovery for me

[@AntoniGrzybpiano]

Arunas! It took me two years, but I've just discovered this. :-)

[@nuneyeremyan9657]

the best composition and very good performans!!!!!

[@sonicsnap1173]

Very interesting work. Fantastic conductor and orchestra. Thanks for sharing this marvellous moment of music!

[@diabolusin]

Magnifique ! Merci à vous tous…

[@ShoyuTao]

Superb playing and conducting but then that is always to be expected from Ensemble intercontemporain and Mathias Pintscher!

[@amandonos637]

EXCELENTE !!!

[@PalumboComposer]

fantastic piece

[@TempodiPiano]

Splendide, comme les autres travaux de cet auteur.

[@lonchaneyfanch9568]

Entièrement d'accord Nicolas !

[@TempodiPiano]

@@lonchaneyfanch9568 Tu es donc sur TH-cam? Voilà des années que nous ne nous sommes pas parlés!
Je dirais que Bertrand est en quelque chose le Mozart de ce style de Ligeti, très précis.

[@lonchaneyfanch9568]

@@TempodiPiano Bonsoir Nicolas, eh oui, Fanch ou François, c'est comme tu veux ! Je suis parfois sur TH-cam, notamment sous les vidéos de notre ami commun, Christophe Nicault ! (Un autre Christophe est possible) Oui, Bertrand est un véritable héritier de Ligeti, et son art est d'une haute précision, comme tu dis. Je l'ai découvert il y a deux semaines, et je suis assez sidéré par une telle maîtrise et un tel foisonnement d'idées chez un aussi jeune compositeur.

This is absolutely genius

[@eliechemaly6038]

Meme si en terme d'innovation, les nvx stockhausen, boulez ou xenakis sont pas encore la.. Mais faut saluer quand meme la beaute de ces nouvelles oeuvres puissantes et vraiment super bien ecrites. Merci..

[@machida5114]

so good ...

[@christophegeoffroy4281]

Still here

[@francescoborghetti2784]

Wonderful

[@galas062]

it is about time you guys post his music....nice!

[@omerberkman539]

Great music depicting human life as is.

[@purba999]

super

[@MrInterestingthings]

I think from hearing pintscher work and his conduction of this ensemble he was just in Miami last year he is one of the most known composer conductors around. Still young perhaps our Boulez . Just there are so many well trained,resourceful composers now. Have their ever been 20 Beethoven's living at the same time.Eotvos,chin,Norman ,Missy,Haas,lachenmann,saariaaho,beat furer,the guy who wrote Play is fabulous. their are too many greats to even name now!

[@BetonBrutContemporary]

Do you mean Andrew Norman? Ah yes, a cool and good guy

[@kuang-licheng402]

very good

[@sergeibabayan366]

Genius!

+++ conductor & music

[@cherfr6]

A peculiar exercise.

[@arunaszizys5225]

maybe a kind of spiralling downward freefall into the primordial insanity underlying the superficial structures of personality

[@MegaCirse]

Il y a infiniment plus que des bizarreries au sein de cette architecture sonore biscornue et rebelle.. Comme une âme naïve non encore déflorée¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@marie-francehily8336]

Waou !!

[@MegaCirse]

Cosmic? Gorgeous? These echoes of darkness which inhabit us and which we deny, reminiscences of time immemorial where Lilith - before Eve - consoled Adam, voice of the splendid Nature that the proud bipeds despise unjustly, lyrical lament of organs abandoned in ruined chapels. The unfolding of these melodies delivers us a moment from our chains and delights the soul by propelling it into dionysiac dens resplendent with chaos where the devils laugh at the sour Reason who goes grumbling 💖

Poesie et musique

[@jppitman1]

There is a lot of contemporary music which frankly anymore is hopeless and useless. I saw a 2009 piece on TH-cam the other day which consisted of Bleeps, Dwops and Blorps most of the time and funny sounds. That stuff was done 50 years ago and is no longer "new" and is, therefore, no longer interesting. To me it`s just stupid. THIS Scales selection by M. Bertrand, however, is fantastic!! It says something. It communicates a valid idea and really puts the musicians to the test. I loved it! I must check into John Martin`s suggestion below.
