It's funny how the Christian aspects of Messiaen's musical language can be so unapparent until another composer tries to make a Christmas piece and it comes out sounding exactly like him in parts
This is terrific stuff but I would never guess it was about Christmas, but, I am Jewish, so I am not qualified to make any kind of judgement about little baby Yeshua.
it feels weird to listen to schonheit without knowing what anything sounds like and relistening to it after watching this score video probably 20 or 30 times and suddenly knowing what everything sounds like tbh
For years I'd sit and listen to this stuff for hours. Now it bores me. I'd much rather listen to Milhaud, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Martinu, Hindemith, etc etc
This piece is even melodic... in an really ordinary way - Sciarrino's forms are really transparent even classic, his music has a very clear construction. try again and try to go beyond first minute...
in realtà è vero: ci vuole un sacco di talento, il fatto che tu non lo capisca non ha nessuna importanza. è un problema tuo, non grave: si vive benissimo lo stesso. ma sarebbe meglio capire quando è meglio evitare di dire la prima cazzata qualunquista che ci viene in mente
Original, unique instrumentation, performed well, but overlong. Realize that a work like this may not be performed for another 50 years. The publisher gains nothing.
cringe. Until the piano comes in, it is mostly silence or at most a single lame ass tone anywhere you click onto the video progress bar. Lazy and low effort writing for 4+ minutes The rest is pretty good
Des sons de cloches qui me font penser a Grisey ou Olivier Greif... et plein d'autres choses ! Ces pièces sont très riches, et tellement bien écrites pour l'instrument. J'adore !!
Yes.....this is quite a treat.....I thought, too, that I discerned echoes of Arensky's "Morceaux" Op 30, 36 & 56, and "Characteristic Pieces.' BRAVO from Mexico City!
