Шнитке - гений! Такой же, как Гоголь, посланник Космоса всем нам и миру. Как жаль, что оба они ушли рано - каждый в своём веке... И какое великое счастье, что и Гоголь и Шнитке остаются с нами в своих бессмертных, потрясающих произведениях!
I have not seen Schnittke's Ninth Symphony anywhere here..I am very curious and have wanted to listen for a long time,please when you can upload ❤🙏 also Passacaglia for orchestra,string quartet N4,Opera "History of Dr. Johann Faust"..Unfortunately, not much is uploaded on You Tube, by this genius composer :/
Потрясающе!!! Можно бесконечно расслушивать каждую нотку, как рассматриваешь каждый штришок в огромной картине, как перечитываешь каждую строчку любимой книги
because Google are literal criminals, too rich to jail or arrest by our thug police and prosecutors and AGs. Most "ads" on YT these days are...in-house GOOGLE / YT ads! (Meaning they are NOT getting paid for any of these ads they're drowning us with, to HARASS us to upgrade to ad-free RU-vid "RED".) It's actually SUPER-criminal in many ways. (EX: ads that are twice as loud as the video are literally assault, b/c they SMASH the ears of anyone using headphones. And Google can fix this in seconds but the INTENT is to smash your ears and harass harass harass until you UPGRADE, b/c Google's brass are such poor billionaires they need to bleed every cent they can out of us.) (EX: I was listening to a Velvet Underground album on YT and they illegally and deliberate put an ad TEN SECONDS BEFORE each song ends. Of course their software could've put those ads in the SILENCE between songs, but the goal is to harass harass harass.) EVEN GOOGLE'S OWN STAFF WALKED OUT IN A HUGE PROTEST LAST YEAR, saying Google's brass had gone FULL-NAZI (!) and were committing war crimes and human rights crimes by helping China and AMerikkka COVER UP false arrests and other nazism! IF ENOUGH OF US RAISE HELL, these criminals will stop.

@Lorenzo Donadei you're half right. EX: in POP music they have dynamics: you can hear the Beatles WHISPER and then SCREAM. Of course, they use compression, so the whisper and the scream are the SAME VOLUME (but radically different in tone and "dynamics"). I love classical music, but i can't listen to it in my car etc etc, b/c of how the quiets are too quiet and the louds too loud..
@Hope Not Hate Spy yeah I suppose Ravel's orchestration is impressive, but simply to play devil's advocate, isn't the main flaw in pop music its repetitiveness and unoriginality? Sure Bolero has plenty of nuance, but personally I think that it is much more "vapid" than a lot of pop music by these two standards. Plus jeez, fifteen minutes is far too long to repeat a single melody, even if it were the most captivating melody of all time (which it certainly is not).
@Hope Not Hate Spy Alright I listened to all 15 minutes of Bolero without killing myself, and I did my best to appreciate it. The melody is quite original and even stirring at points, but at other points it seems like Ravel didn't know where to go next and he just meanders. Sometimes I like meandering music! But this melody isn't really hauntingly peaceful, (like the meandering melodies of pavane pour une infante defunte or the lark ascending, for example) nor is it anxious, nor eery; it's just kind of there. It's like it tries to be almost playful at times and then serious at other times and I don't think that it does a good job reckoning between those two extremes. The beginning repeats too many times for my liking. I understand it's supposed to build with subtle texture changes, but you could easily skip any one of the solos from the beginning and it wouldn't be missed; none of them really add anything, they just take up time. The ending is really pretty cool and climactic, but it too can seem a bit overdramatic and drawn out for a melody we've already heard a hundred times. Overall, I guess I am being pretty pessimistic, I just think that there are better pieces that actually have emotional substance in addition to cool orchestration.
The Polish youth symphony orchestra "Akademia Filmu i Telewizji" just reseantly uploaded this version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zMHLYdATN7E.html And they do it really good.
I tend to hope that in offering modern twists to music, that the composer will also offer a listening experience that can be revisited by those of us who are mere mortal listeners. I have heard pieces I didn't want to revisit. I plan on revisiting this one.
Listen to what Gino Vanelli has to say about Ravel. To get right to it go to 3:00 minutes. Pretty high praise. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jC9t6o444IY.html
For this Man to write music the way he did back then,is real life Musical magic in its purest form! To connect with it now so deeply,is bible in itself...………….
This was extremely helpful in learning about Maurice ravel's orchestral pieces! It's rather difficult to try to find a bunch of them in one place. Thank you very much!
I came back to this as a s'more full of knowledge, a s'more who freaking LOVES Maurice Ravel, a s'more who didn't realized they had already seen this video. And somehow I managed to find a piece I had never heard before and am now obsessed.
A better indictment against all forms of music, however original, could not be written. Any Calvinist or Islamic fundamentalist prime loathing of music itself going on in your cabeza?
THX a lot for the nice picture-editing ;) But this is by far NOT the best performance...- the TRULY VERY BEST one, is the 'Original' One from 1980 of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Rozhdestvensky !!! But nowadays it's very hard to come by. Also a fantastic performance is by 'Duo Krachkovsky', you can find here at youtube !!
What I hear in the 5th movement is this- "They say in England, a fish said two words in such a strange language that three years since, scientists have still made nothing of it." "I too read of two cows who came to a shope asking for them selves a pound of tea." "And all is from the imaginings of people that the human brain is actually located in the head!! (Hehehehehe!!!) That is not so... for it is brought by winds from the coast of the Caspian Sea." "Tomorrow, at seven o'clock, will occure the strangest of occurrences: the Earth will land on the Moon. Even the famous chemist, Willington, writes of it."
Alfred Schnittke (Oh! I didn't realize it was your writting! I'm sorry for being so harsh. I though that it perhaps came from an official translation because it was so poetic and nicely written, I had no idea it was your own)!
Oh, you got it right. It is not my translation, it is an old translation of "Memories of a Madman", and I took the parts that included the few russian words that I do understand.
