Kilar: Orawa ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Krzysztof Urbański 

Kilar likes to allow musical ideas to percolate for a while before moving on. This piece certainly featured a crescendo of excitement as the music progressed. Much of what he does is combine folk principles in a classical format. The result is always engaging and dramatic. The shout at the end is the perfect final cadence.

Brilliant!! And the performance of the Lutoslawski on the bill was terrific as well! More programming like this, please!

This sounds like the whole world having a really good day!

Einfach toll, ein Genuss .... Großartig inszeniert!

Wspaniały polski utwór o pięknych ludziach Tatr❤

My imagination goes wild every time I hear this work. It takes me on a journey as if I am watching something unfold right in front of my eyes. Kilar was also an active film composer so that probably explains a lot :)

bardzo ładne wykonanie. Jasne, radosne, miejscami drapieżne, eleganckie. W. Kilar na pewno się w Niebie cieszy :-).

Something NEW and WONDERFUL for me , thanks Ernie for sending this to me . I will definitely be checking out more of this man Kilar

Terrific! Spellbinding contemporary music, young conductor, young concert master, and much older audience is totally thrilled. Great musical experience as a whole. 👏👏👏

this piece is a masterpiece of the last decades, I dig the highly rythmic strings and yet serene soundtrack-y vibes. truly remarkable.

I started out listening to this as I worked on a letter ... After a couple minutes and a few sentences I gave up on writing, and gave myself over to watching and listening to this wonderful performance. We are all so very lucky that you bring such musical performances to the "world's stage" of youtube. My heartfelt thanks.

Fantastic performance of a fantastic work. Wonderful. Thank you.

Wojciech Kilar spent most of his life in southern Poland and took the opportunity to source some ideas from the highlanders nearby, which have a completely distinct "wild" music style in the folk music, even compared to the rest of the Poland and played on rural weddings, and Kilar blended it, in my opinion, perfectly into the modern music and . "Orawa" with hr-Sinfonieorchester and Urbański is my favourite performance of this piece. You can also find a minor note on that piece on en.wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojciech_Kilar#Orawa

I had the pleasure of playing this work a few years ago, and have been hooked on it since. It is incredibly fun to play and should be performed more often. It's initially scored for Chamber Orchestra but is easily done by a full Symphony string section. That is what I enjoyed most about this performance. The Conductor stayed out of the way in the beginning and other solo sections of the piece allowing the musicians to play chamber music with each other, and it was marvelous and this reading is now my new favorite. I've now officially subscribed to this Orchestras channel. ❤❤❤ Favorite part is near the end where everyone plays 8th note G's then Kilar crunches it with the tone cluster, then G"s, then tone cluster, G's, extended cluster, drive to the finale! 🤣🤣 love it!

Atemberaubend gespielt! Mitreißendes Stück!

Wonderful new (to me) music, thank you to Urbanski and the hr sinfonieorchester for bringing us this performance! Hey!!

Wspaniala orkierstra i wybitne wykonanie! Brawo!

Super! Thanks a lot for this wonderful interpretation!

L'orchestre de Frankfurt est excellent, équilibré impeccable, précis , Weltklasse Danke

Wspaniały koncert. Dziękuję bardzo.

Большое спасибо за чудесный концерт!

Amazing string work!

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses modernen Meisterwerks mit perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Streichinstrumente. Der junge Konzertmeister ist echt genial. Der intelligente polnische Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete deutsche Streichorchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit perfekt vereinigter Dynamik. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

Fantastycznie wykonany najbliższy sercu utwór!

Bravo!! Belíssima execução, parabéns!

Nagyon köszönöm, a Bartók rádióban hallottam félig-meddig, de nagyon tetszik!

Znakomite wykonanie!❤❤❤

Genius! Maximum Genius!!!Bravo!

amazing!

That was fun!!

Wow brillant he is so handsome too

Wonderfull ♥️

Canlı izleme şansına nail olduğum bu eser, gerek orkestranın muhteşem yorumu gerekse maestronun yönetimiyle alkışı fazlasıyla hak ediyor. Devamında Sol Gabetta'nın eşlik ettiği eserleri de dinlemenizi öneririm. Hr Senfoni orkestrası tekrar söylüyorum, dünyanın en iyi on orkestrasından biri 👍

Excellent

....Excitante viaje...desde su primera nota...hasta el explosivo HEY:!!!!!!

Contemporary classical music thats actually nice to hear? I must be dreaming! Thank you for the Amazing performance, love from Indonesia Edit: my first thought after hearing the first couple of minutes is "wow this is very cinematic". Only after a little searching that i found out Mr. Kilar IS primarily a film composer. Bravo!

WOW!!!!

💖💖💖

Does the title of the composition mean "crowd?" What a remarkable lively and beautiful work!

映画"The Pianist"や"Korczak"の音楽監督さんの曲ね。 私は現代音楽は苦手だけど、この曲は受け入れやすい。 ポーランドの若い指揮者さん。 ショパンさんの故郷だけあって、素晴らしい音楽家がたくさん。 Kilarさんは、現ウクライナ地域の生まれ？ 複雑で悲しく切ない歴史を抱える地域性が反映されたかのような音楽性かも。

wow~ ⊙o⊙

This totally fun! Though I don’t know what Orawa actually means…

Full circle reference?
