These two piano concertos Adolph Wikund.... Well if they aren't two if the best , most Romantic, I'll eat my Hat !! It is a criminal felony that these concertos are not being performed by big name Orchestras and big name performers world wide. I would good $$$ to hear and see these concertos performed live. Magnificent. Can some one point this out to Yuja or Lang, or Martha? Get there attention and these become overnight sensations after a Century has gone by. I come away singing the themes. What better test ! So hard to sing atonal music. You know?
В России хорошо знают творчество Грига и Сибелиуса , а вот со ШВЕДСКИМИ композиторами явный пробел , поэтому очень хорошо , что вы своими записями знакомите нас с их творчеством , зто расширяет наш кругозор , картина становится более полной .
It seems that the portrait shows not Hermann Bischoff the composer, but Hermann Bischoff (1903-1969), a member of Jehova's Witnesses from Munich, who was jailed by the Nazis during the 1930s and 1940s.
My feeling comes back from time to time that I already heard this otherwordly-beautiful music sometime about 50-or-so years ago in the cinema. It may have been a film about Pushkin's life, I guess, or was it the huge-great Russian film about Tsaikovski's life? Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing it and for the joy.
It is important to remember that Reynaldo Hahn belonged (especially through his mother Helena Maria Echenagusia) to the high society of Caracas. Hahn was greatly influenced by his mother, who maintained ties of friendship with many famous Venezuelan musicians such as José Angel Montero, creator of the opera "Virginia." The Hahn family also had a friendship with the great Venezuelan pianist Teresa Carreño, known throughout the world. Venezuelan academic music had a very important development, parallel to popular music from the colony until the mid-19th century, when the European waltz and the popular waltz experienced a happy union at the hands of composers of piano music such as: Ramón Delgado Palacios , Federico Vollmer and Salvador Llamozas... Reynaldo Hahn music was influenced by all of them.
I understand the Bruckner references mentioned. I enjoy this symphony more than most of Bruckner. Thank You about telling us about his other 2 Symphonies and Violin Concerto. I've never heard or heard if this composer. This is an amazing find. Big ,Bold, Romanticism. Expansive.
If Florence was a white Autrian/German/Russian/..? dude she would be praised as one of the best and probably a pioneer of modernism, just like we do to Mahler ... but no.....
Why not have a bit of fun and enjoy this unusual and somewhat humourous clever light work. An ideal programme filler. He wrote six, so where are the other five?.
Since the 2nd Piano Concerto (for both hands) has been recorded, I have emended the title and description of this work to reflect its position as the 1st of the 2 concertos, although I can't edit the title card of the video itself.
Sounds very Bruchian, I have a cassette recording of his 3rd violin concerto which I recorded off a library lp, back in the day some libraries had a full and comprehensive collection of classical music lps of which I used to take full advantage!
They never taught us about her in college music school...this woman is a genius! I hear elements of Dvorak in this. this whole symphony tells a story that know no one has to know what it is about ...it just is, and beautifully, masterfully. It is called high level art, something extremely lacking in our American Culture today, as the sound of of the cash register drowns it out. Keeping in mind, America's school budgets for music programs are always the first to be cut. You will never see a weed growing in a football stadium.
My great grandmother's maiden name was Bischoff [var. Bischof, Beskov], b. 1860, possibly in Bischofsheim, near Frankfurt and Darmstadt. She married my great grandfather, a prosperous German-American businessman in California, and of course she moved to California. Maybe a family connection here. My family always said the Bischoffs were of Russian origin on the male line of descent, and the name does sound Russian.
Oh my god, this is one of the best symphonys i ever heard!!!! An special place in my heart together with: the 5th of Dvorak and the 1st of Kalinnikov!!!
I listened first time today this beautiful concerto. I am long time searching any trace of Tansman concerto for alto and orchestra, but in vain. Any idea?
How about around 21:40? Otherwise, you may be right but at least it's a lot more enjoyable than a lot of others around his time or later so I keep returning to it. for pleasure.
A surprise, after listening to a number of her other works. This is in a brilliant style and expression, I love it. Not that the others are un-enjoyable or bad at all...
To me, it's a testament to the quality of the writing that it has this calm spirit, a stillness that does not need bold statements, and yet never gets dull due to too much or too little drama or sentimentality. It just continues modestly on its way -- very balanced, humble and un-egotistical, inoffensive and yet effective. I think that's the best kind of music. The style seems to take deliberate and respectful influence from Dvorjak's New World Symphony, and yet the gentle drama sounds like early silent film music (Maybe she wrote that too, I don't know.) I wonder if anyone else wrote anything similar to this.
