Helmut Lachenmann - String Quartet No. 1 "Gran Torso" (1971 rev. 1978) [Score-Video]
An incredible dive into Lachenmann's "musique concrète instrumentale."
A quote from Lachenmann which here serves as a perfect primer for this piece:
"Any sound can form part of an infinite number of scales, each time with a different function and in a different light, a point in which an infinite number of lines meet. It is not about creating sounds that are somehow new or shocking, after all - instead, the point is to create and re-create contexts that will re-illuminate whatever sound there may be. "

This little-known piece by Rzewski is performed beautifully here, spoken by (I believe, though I could be wrong) his wife, Nicole Abbeloos (here listed as Nicole Rzewski).

      I prefer the '71 Titus version, too. Listening to this one, though the priest's performance is stellar, I think I've identified why I like Titus' performance better. He's more humble, which I think fits the character better. Titus is less showy and more vulnerable.

  • @interex956

    Thank you for posting this video. I'm sure that writing the score with transposing instruments parts being written in C might have something to do with avoiding formalism, as this is also seen in Prokofiev's scores. But is writing everything sans a key signature the norm for Khachaturian?

    • @OctopusContrapunctus
      @OctopusContrapunctus 8 місяців тому

      I can only responds that it becomes a norm in most music of that period given the advanced borrowing From other Keyes and the advanced modulations and chord extension, giving a key signature would only confuse. Although in this case it’s not that much confusing, but if he ever wanted to do some sporadic crazy modulations, the keysgnature would only be a annoyance. Hope it’s clear

    • @notarbolz926
      @notarbolz926 2 місяці тому

      It has nothing to do with avoiding formalism. Prokofiev is a different case, he preferred his scores be published in C, i.e. the transposing instruments notated at the sounding pitch. The instrument parts (like the clarinets) however would get their parts transposed with adequate key signatures. Khachaturians scores are transposing, it's just that he rarely uses key signatures. That seems to be a personal choice, as he may have found it frees up his harmonic language. It's not unusual at all. Composers like Stravinsky or Shostakovich's works change between sections with and sections sans a key signature, often in the same work. There is no connection to 'formalism', if anything, not using key signatures would make him suspicious of writing non-diatonic, too dissonant and modern music.

    Thank you (almost) for posting this. It must've been a lot of painstaking and time-consuming work to line up the particular pieces of the score with the recording, which ended up being really cool. I purchased the score when I was around 18 or 19 years old, but through various relocations and storage throughout the past nearly 50 years, it is now gone and just a part of my past. However, I would've enjoyed this video more if you had used the original recording rather than this one. The orchestra is wonderful, as are the choruses. I haven't listened to the entire recording, so I haven't heard any of the soloists, including the boy soloist. But the singer playing the celebrant can't come close to Alan Titus. In fact, his interpretation of "Simple Song" made my ears and head hurt. He really did a truly crappy job on one of the best songs in the entire piece, which I used to perform accompanying myself in various churches in my youth. If it's any consolation, I thought that I would be thrilled to see this performed live at Carnegie Hall a number of years ago, but there again, the performers fell way short of those on the original recording. Especially the horrific celebrant. In fact, he was a tenor rather than a baritone, which is the wrong tone for his pieces. But, thanks for your hard work anyway. Great job.
