This is great, I'm mexican physician, and my favorite Mexican music is the music of Silvestre, I really recommend his biography book, named "por el mismo ", thank you for this great video
Desde niño e escuchado mucho el hombre de Silvestre Revueltas en mi natal Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango Mex. y hasta ahora estoy escuchando toda esta informacion sobre el. Good information thank you.
A wonderful choice. I have admired this composer for many many years but knew nothing about him. You have solved this perfectly. Sensemaya is one of my favourite pieces (played in it).
Thanks for this biography!!!! A very interesting topic for 1 of your great videos is the biography of another Mexican composer and scientist called Julian Carrillo.
Awesome work! Thanks for this video. It's surprising how hard it is to find Revueltas' scores and other stuff in Mexico. BTW Rolling the R's in Revueltas, cool detail!
Great video. I wrote the Wikipedia page of Revueltas many years ago. I don't know if they left what I wrote. I think the Musical world has not yet discovered him at all. I wish to hear Esquinas or Geometric dance by Berlin Philharmonic or something like that although Dudamel did some with Sensemayá. Greetings from Mexico.
100 años de musica mexicana para piano, it's an album played by Jean Baptiste Muller and has the only recording of "Margarita",sounds like impresionism
Cool thanks 😊👍 Revueltas is like Ives and Stravinsky, in he stretched out the boundaries of composition. Google say jt productions "She dances in the wind". ok "Zapata Beefheart"
Very nice documentary man, I subscribe , I like how your are not pretentious at all, also that "r" sounds too french for spannish , cheers from your neighbor country.
This is how the conductor Jascha Horenstein described the music of Revueltas: "Magnificent scores, a kind of super-Satie but with an enormous “métier” and Mexican folklore in addition."
Excellent video! Revueltas so hurt by people, forgotten for many years, but his music survived because of his universal and visionary language. Unfortunatelly, as many geniuses, he was in a rush to die to this world to get a place in immortality! Thank you so much!
As I am sure you know, most composers do not like to talk about their music. This may be because the act of composition is part rational and part inspirational, and what valuable things could you possibly say about the mystery of composition. It is also possible that whatever the composer says does not help the listener's appreciation. It may be best to let the music speak for itself. Keep up the good work.
It would be interesting to do a comparison between the composers who don't like to talk about their music and the composers who do-in my experience there's very little in between.
@@ClassicalNerd I think this is one of those instances where less is more. BTW, it is my opinion that Revueltas was a better composer when he wasn't trying to be so Mexican. The string quartets are good examples of his International style.
