György Ligeti - Chamber Concerto for 13 instrumentalists (1969-1970, audio+score) 

Ligeti never ceases to amaze me with his incredible musical imagination.

One of the true hilights in western music. Ligeti is a great narrator of our world.

空間や方角を感じるような金管の響きの後に絶え間ないチェンバロの重音連打　次々とアイデアを繰り出してくるリゲティの作曲法は私も親近感を覚える

13:40 fascinating polyrhythm!

05:02 rip headphone users

I think this is the best thing Ligeti wrote

음악 끌고가는 힘이 진짜 장난아님 이 곡 너무 재밌네

the best moment in music history.

Through the miracle of youtube we get to see uploads like this and see the score along with the music, thank you for this!

Saw Boulez conduct this piece in Edinburgh. Marvelous!

Masterpiece ♥️

Masterpiece!

第一楽章の摩擦を感じる度数が違い擦り合うような繰り返しのフレーズ、そして第一楽章の後半の多声部分の複雑さはすごい

Masterpiece.

Thank you for the score.

This concerto is a choke point between the masterworks of his so-called "first manner" (among which the concerto for cello and that for flute and oboe) and the further compositor's evolution. Some "breaking" features could be found within these previous works.

This is fantastic. Great video, I really appreciate it!

The section from 9:20 to 10:30 was hugely influential to Frank Zappa, so much of his more 'difficult' music is directly based on these rhythmic structures.

Bless you for this :)

Great piece!

materiale prezioso. Grazie di condividere

that third movement had me on my knees🧎🏾‍♂️

Please, keep on uploading contents !

Liggeti with advertising to stop your apreciation, wow moments

the polyrhythms

Nice profile picture man.

Awesome

Interestingly, the score looks very complex but the sound effect could be written-out in a much simpler way, with barlines through the whole tecture.

Secondo il mio orecchio due brani che mettono pace tra gusto tradizionale e totale libertà dalle regole com positive sono: Schubert /Berio RENDERING Hendrix /pat methney THIRD STONE FROME THE SUN

I always wonder how accurate to the score performances of micropolyphonic works are. The fact that it's hard to tell is kind of the point, but the fine distinctions it asks of the players seem to verge on the impossible, and I wonder if they really do pull it off anyway.

3:22 to 3:29 that is one freaky violin sound! I'm sure it has a name and all decent violinists know about it, but to me it sounded like an electronic musician was twisting a cutoff knob on the recording.

How can you put an advert in the middle of this. Absolutely ridiculous!

息の長い音の使い方が上手い

13:03 I wonder why the marking for the conductor only mentions thumb, index finger, ring finger and Little finger (->"whole Hand), or in other words, why did he leave out "thumb + index finger + Middle finger" while specifying "thumb + index finger + ring finger" without the middle finger? Not that it would have changed anything About the Music or have any other significance to the piece, but is there a reason for that?

I love how the instrumentation specifies that you can use either a harpsichord or a Hammond organ, and either a piano or a celesta. In each case giving you a choice between two completely different instruments. I wonder how this will sound on Hammond organ and celesta?

Is it true the original title of this piece was The Life of Insects?

Great work, excellently performed. Too bad the video is marred by a low-level hum throughout. What, they couldn't EQ it out?

I don't consider Ligeti, Stockhausen, Xenakis, and other similar composers as "Music" composers, but rather "Sound Collage" composers. I'm not very inclined towards the static and discontinuous Sound Collages by the latter two, but Ligeti's Sound Collages have a dynamic smoothness to them; they "feel" closer to music because they "flow," and that's what makes them more interesting. Edit: I've been getting several replies from some people claiming that music is "organized sound." I agree that on a basic level, this is true. However, I believe that music goes far beyond just organizing sounds. Music is a language, a form of intelligent communication. To claim that music is only "organized sounds" is like proclaiming English to be "organized letters." This sentence I'm typing is certainly an organization of letters, but so is ABCABCABC and agklsfocofekocmwefjsdotsdfcjsd. The latter, however, is unintelligible. Similarly, the "organization" I've heard within sound collage is unrecognizable as any pattern. Music depends upon a recognizable pattern in order to hold musical interest. I'm not only referring to meter, but also to melodic, harmonic, dynamic, and tone color patterns. Either the patterns in sound collage don't exist, or they are too long and complex for the human mind to detect. Sure, you could probably find whatever crazy patterns a sound collage composer used by looking at the score, but I personally don't want to have to analyze a score in order to understand (or even remotely enjoy) a recording. I'm sure that most people don't want to, either. Music should be an enjoyable, expressive art form, not a scientific study. I hope I have enlightened you with my humble opinion on music.

BUENARDAAAAAA

...very nice Mugi

二度音程がぶつかり合うフレーズがリゲティにはよく見られる。同音連打、ボリリズムもそうだが

This particular piece describes exactly the terrible world we currently live in

he went fucked on this one

13:30

im slowly loosing my sanity... . . .

seems like techno in 14:12. lol

9:20 fac :v

Personal view ... Sorry to say, does absolutely nothing for me emotionally or intellectually... if structure there is (and i'm sure there might be some kind of structure within...), it is haphazard and random to my ear. Watching the score with the outlandish time signature changes makes me think that simplicity is sometimes a blessing... and that novelty for the sake of novelty has its limits.

The worst shit I've ever heard.
