It's a pleasure to have a glimpse into that world of Darmstadt, to hear both of them speak in such an exquisite german with their own personal accents (especially Maderna is wonderful to hear... To catch a sample of his venetian accent after he stumbled on a difficult number is priceless), to look at the immense culture that was being created in that period... Even aknowledging how the Darmstadt movement was a kind of cultural cul-de-sac, and feeling almost compelled to smile at the utter seriousness with which they use what inevitably comes off as a sort of jargon of the avantgarde, one cannot but marvel at the amazing richness, the culture and the intelligence of those composers. This is an extremely precious document, and I thank you for your upload, as well as the plethora of other precious shards of music history on your channel!
@@coreylapinas1000 I've seen the same comment at least a few times, though I'm not about to search for all of them. But for one example here you are saying the same thing under his flute concerto: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UnQeG1WMjrE.html I disagree with it but didn't even say 'it's not true'. I said it's a weird bit of negativity to spray across videos of his music if you have so much disdain for him. And it's ultimately a vague and subjective take with nothing precise enough to prove or disprove. But even if you think it's true, it's a weird crusade. There are many composers I dislike on musical grounds but I don't go to their videos and repeat the same attack under even one, let alone more, of their videos.
@@coreylapinas1000 You summarised Carter's music as someone else's with a major element missing. That obviously comes across as disdain for his entire life's work. I'm merely pointing out that your repeated comments on a RU-vid video are strange, not denigrating your life's work - how is that possibly more disdainful than your comments? That seems a rather hypocritical response.
the metronome piece is a glorious work of zappaesque humor belonging in music. its a a biting resemblance of the audiences applause phase fading out to the last claqueurs slowing handclaps, which makes it really funny and absurd :D
What a great RU-vid channel is this! And by the way, after years of devotion to Durey and his music, I didn't know this performance of the Op. 7! Very refreshing and interesting!
The original 2 piano/percussion/chorus version of "Etude pour Espace" was performed once only, on 22 April 1947, in New York. One of Varese's biographers noted that a recording was made of the performance, presumably on amateur-cut 78rpm records. There is certainly evidence here of the sound of records being played - some surface noise, and spots where the record is flipped over. It also seems impossible that this could have been "faked" in any way - with obvious recording glitches/distortion baked into the mix. So. . . Can you provide any info on your source for the audio here? (Thanks)
@@fiandrhi i don’t think you would speak like that in front of me, would you ? So easy to insult people comfortably hidden behind your screen… You even are not able to speak my language poor little thing.
The percussions here were awesome. I had high expectations for the Berliners playing Jonchaies and I must say they exceeded them. Wonderful performance.
Wonderful rendition of a wonderful piece. I love Nono's music with all my heart, but my focus has always been his first and last period, therefore I don't know his middle pieces as well as the other ones. Glad to have listened to this masterpiece!
