Tengo 80, esta version la escuché por primera vez a mis 17 años, una tarde cuando mi hermano puso en su winco el LP que acababa de comprar y me dijo - escuchá . Y yo me enamoré para siempre, no sólo de Beethoven sino de la musica clasica. Por eso amo esta versión: ella fue la puerta que me abrió paso a ese mundo infinito. Gracias Dios mio por la música❤❤❤❤
Thank you for telling me about the shows you watch on TV. My wife and I watch PBS and will only watch British programming. The stories are great and the actors rotate their perfomances, and play different parts. Their versatility is incredible; they are better than ALL American actors. Thank you to England for enriching our lives.
Nom de Dieu. Cette pièce m'a été présentée il y a plus de 60 ans par un merveilleux proffesseur de musique. M. Béchard à l'école Jean-Raimbault de Drummondville en secondaire 2. M.Béchard nous a raconté cette histoire merveillleuse entre de pauvres villageois et des soldats russes. C'est pour moi maintenet un souvenir de ce très compétant passionné professeur de musique.
I love the story that the very-first time this symphony was performed publicly was for a charity event in 1813 for Austrian soldiers wounded fighting Napoleon and that it was an immediate hit -and that the soldiers and audience called for an encore of the Allegretto (13:37), instantly loving it the very first time they heard it. Which was the same reaction I suspect tens of millions of listeners if not more, in the 200 + years have had since then, the first time they heard it.
This is overwhelmingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing it here. I'd love to be able to read and maybe translate the lyrics. If somebody reads this and is able to share the texts, it would be ever so beautiful!
I am so grateful for your comment. Here is the link of the first song, you can see the translate. Enjoy. lyricstranslate.com/en/donskaya-balada-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F-%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B0-don-river-ballad.html
When I first heard this version in the 1980's I knew immediately that I didn't care to listen to other versions. This is a Masterpiece of Programme music by Glazunov. I listen to it only during the Christmas season as impressions of the Holidays are really powerful in many of it's passages throughout. I LOVE THIS MUSIC!
beautiful music, an eternal gem that will inspire generations forever, it sure gives me goosebumps and recollections of a girlfriend long gone, bless her soul
This is one of Borodins finest compositions, just the name alone sends shivers down my spine. As I listen I see in my mind the millions of square miles of empty land that has existed since time immemorial. I have tears in my eyes right now, tears of emotion that humanity can produce such a genius. I am English and for me Vaughan Williams composed emotional music like this about a very different landscape, his Fantasia on Thomas Tallis and the Lark Ascending affects me is the exact same way. Despite our MANY FAULTS humanity has managed to produce genius’s like this that transcend our SINS and let us experience the beauty that is OUR MOTHER EARTH.
You might also love Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe as well! For me it’s the pinnacle of human creativity and experience, I always break into tears while listening to it
@@Smin-f3h I completely agree, a WONDERFUL piece. This music does not need to be blasted out at high volume, sometimes I wait for everyone at home to go to bed and the house is quiet. Then I sit in a comfortable chair, turn the lights very low and play these pieces at a very low volume. The music will overwhelm you and take you to another place, how fortunate are we that we that such brilliant minds have evolved that can produce such beauty. Best wishes.
It was moving for me to read your words. I share everything you said. Borodin's music, as well as the music of soooo many other greats will last forever, even beyond the grave. I just imagine my soul sailing through the universe listening to The New World Symphony, Scherazade, everything by Tchaikosky, and so many others. I imagine the universe alive with this music. Talk about crying! Sail on, my friend.
@@Smin-f3h Oh yes, Ravel is also on my list of GENIUSES. I recently watched a documentary about Aaron Copland, another of my favorites, he talked about a visit to France where he met Ravel, can you imagine two such brilliant men talking about their music.
Hummel ,l’un de mes compositeurs préférés dans la catégorie ´petits maîtres ´´. En particulier ce concerto et les op 89 . Shelley et Hough deux virtuoses qui ont tiré de l’oubli ces chefs-d’œuvre.
