Stravinsky's "Requiem Canticles" and Shostakovitch 's 15th symphony seems both to be composed from beyond at their conclusion with "irreal" percussion ...
Très beau piano je ne connaissais pas ce musicien, le chef très élégants avec des gestes justes très bel ensemble très bon moment. J'aime beaucoup ce concerto.
The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College is a performance hall located in the Hudson Valley hamlet of Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. No need to mention this as at least 98 % of the savvy audience of that continent know this....
Atmospheric piece by the African American conductor William Grant Still depicting a slaves journey to freedom through the Dismal Swamp. BTW I have frequently paddled my canoe through the Dismal Swamp. It is not as "dismal" as the title suggests! Lovely music and place.
It is sad that this composer's output is so small. I believe she destroyed some of her own manuscripts which is a great pity. Pupil of Shostakovich, (who proposed to her) she displays an amazing creativity in her superb writing. Her music justly deserves far more performances today than it actually gets.
I never thought I'd hear this performed live. Notoriously difficult, gives the pianist lots of challenges though probably not as much as the Rach 3 which is played by everyone and their grandmother. I first got familiar with this concerto via Lewenthal's recording many years ago. I think Lewenthal was more responsible than anyone for bringing this gem to the consciousness of the public, pretty much forgotten before that recording. Still waiting to hear live performances of many "forgotten" concertos like the Brull Concerto No 2 in C, The Saint-Saens No 1 in D and the Reinecke No 1 in F# minor among many. Pianist Evren Ozel delivers an admirable performance. Fine pianist. I hope he becomes the next Michael Ponti or Frank Cooper and brings more of these forgotten masterpieces to the concert halls, although the costs these days of putting on such a piano concerto performance runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in many cases. I know because I've priced out my own Piano Concerto No 2 in C Minor (here on RU-vid in case anyone is curious) for a public performance and have gotten estimates on the low end of $100K and on the high end of $250K and that was 10 years ago. Must have doubled by now. It really helps to have a pianist like Mr. Ozel who knows the concerto already and can be invited to an established orchestra to play it in one of their subscription concerts. That greatly cuts down on the cost. Keep up the good work, Evren. You're extremely talented.
Thank you. Excellent performance. It was written at the biginning of Tansman's escape from Paris in Nizza. Dedicated to Polish fighter's against German invasion. Drammatic moments are often heard as well as strenght will to be victorious in some march.
COMPOSICION PROFUNDAMENTE SENTIMENTAL Y ESPIRITUAL, DEDICADA A SU MADRE, YA FALLECIDA, AÑOS ATRAS, SU MADRE LE PLATICABA QUE TENIA EL SUEÑO DE QUE ALGUNO DE SUS HIJOS LE DESCRIBIERA EL MUNDO MAS ALLA DE LA SIERRA DONDE PASO TODA SU VIDA, QUE OTRO HIJO PINTARA ESE MEXICO DESCONOCIDO Y OTRO QUE LE PLATICARA COMO ERAN LAS PERSONAS QUE HABITABAN ESA TIERRA DESCONOCIDAS PARA ELLA, Y SE LE CUMPLIO.
