Janáček's music is so linguistic...how could he write in every line of tears, every fragment of nostalgic recollections so sincerely and flawlessly...as if uttering few words beneath the profound weeping...composing music as Janáček did requires the most honest heart which is been deprived of the pursuit of perfectionism.
I’m just getting into Janacek’s music. I’m a classically trained pianist. This is some of the most beautiful piano music I’ve ever heard. Thank you for posting.
Leoš Janáček is so underrated, at least in the English-speaking world. Not enough people know about him. I only found out by accident about 15 years ago
The main theme of The Virgin of Frydek (9.44 - 10.25) is absolutely stunning. So melancholy, so fragile, like looking at the Autumn rain and feeling your soul bursting in the droplets.
This is a lovely rendition. I have been listening to Firkusny's. This seems to me more personal and more contemplative, and thus more beautiful. Thank you.
Kvapil is the perfect performer for ths book of miniatures full of nostalgy with its allusive harmonies which generally avoid traditional links and cadenzas. Janacek used to wor kcarefully with small motives rathe r than long, romantic-like themes. This makes thois book a marvel of deep feeling and recollections.
Renditions of Janáček's works accompannied by a video of the score is what RU-vid should ideally be for. Love your channel, and I have just came accross it.
Extraordinaire ambiance, qui de sa poésie ne lâche jamais l'auditeur... Pur génie. À la fois toujours évident et inattendu dans son discours musical...
Janacek wrote two interesting folders of piano pieces; in the mists and on an overgrown path (this one divided into two folders). He uses his technique of varied repatition of small and simple melodic cells (sometimes symbolizing natural sounds). One may think about the possible influence of Debussy, but Janacek once said: "I have nothing to do with the Franch impressionism" (Debussy did not accept the world "impressionism, but that is another story). The two folders are pure delights.
@@EmdrGreg -- Oh no, I ADORE sour cream, especially with elderberries and blini; however, I DO object when otherwise great musical composers take their names after food staples. Not for nuthin', but in contrast Rachmaninoff (Rahmaninov) owes his name to the Qur'aan's "Fatihah" -- "Bismi l'Allah w'RAKHMAN [the All-Merciful] w Rakheem...." A better choice than fermenting milk......I'm jus sayin'.....
Has your channel risen from the dead? It's great to see this back again: I look forward to many great uploads, and pray that the same fate doesn't befall you again...
+Haotian Yu I saved all the files, and I'm re-uploading (almost) everything to this channel. So if ever something happens again, we can easily start anew :)
+olla-vogala seconded. I wonder how many people are like me and these score channels are one of their primary hobbies (or just score study in general). Your channel is easily one of the greats
Berliozboy Thank you! However, this channel may disappear as well, since I recently received two copyright strikes. I've made a new channel, just in case. (watch my latest video)
