The second piece is so incredibly beautiful, like walking through a cave with flinkering crystals in the walls. Hamelin is a hero for bringing these obscure pieces to the public!
But the way it's written is terrible. Full of entire passages consisting of nothing but double and triple (!) sharps. It sounds beautiful but it definitely could've been _written_ better
I had an idea Hamelin did a studio recording of these Etudes - I think they used to be available on UA-cam, with the score showing as the music played. Am I right? Or am I getting confused with the recording by Irina Emeliantseva?
You are correct. It used to be on the channel Hexameron (which is now gone). You can find his studio recordings (which are excellent) under the label Hyperion.
When Sir Hamelin recorded these and the rest where he could for Hyperion, i was taken by his comment upon Alexander Scriabin and his kaleidoscope glasses, you remember. Sir Hamelin commented upon a 20th century pair of glasses, upon one 20th century synaesthesiac master pianist and the writing tools, still in use in our 21st. It's more that you melted my brain, every time you tickle your ivories for 20th century avant gardism. The Futurism and Sci-Fi modern never was the problem. The same developments happen, and are crushed underfoot here in Michigan as well. You melted my brain, within my own glasses a million times over, Sir Hamelin. Always appreciated here. Thank you for sharing your gifts in said departments. ;-)
Thank you so much for this - a great discovery for me. Any possibility of re-doing the audio so it doesn't overmodulate? (I know sometimes utub screw things up...)
Roslavet is always spelt differently. Nonetheless the correct spelling is just as elusive as his fame which is once again derailed because of musicology. Shame on this stuffy company of non-musicians. He is with Sorajbi Scriabin and Messiaen the solution to the movement from romantic into the 20th century, not, excuse me once more, Anton von Webern.
Avec le même langage, et jusque dans ses 5 derniers terrifiants préludes, Scriabine a su rester un romantique. Ce n'est plus le cas dans ces études de Roslavet. Je suis assez déçu. On est devant un jeu intellectuel d'une beauté discutable, et assez dépourvu de message.

I know Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
The fact that he has to ready it, says it all.
This is just utterly astounding artistry, both on the part of the composer and on the part of MAH. What unbelievable geniuses! I am totally amazed.
This has been a world class phenomena exhibiting the genius of Roslavets.
I'm afraid this is the best quality copy you'll ever find of this performance.

@@gamma357 I miss Hexameron. Discovered so much amazing music on that channel.
@@Starclimber I wasn't there in those days :(

@sfsphil I keep backing up to hear it again... There is just so much to love about this!
not entirely a world premiere: david tudor played the second etude ("pianissimo") on a recital in 1951.
It's incredible theat we couldn't hear this terrific music more often ! What do the others pianists ?
dont worry, there will be a video recording of the first etude on my channel soon!
This is AWESOME!!!
Scriabin on acid :D
yes, this music you can play when you have visitors you don't want in your house!!!
The page turner is really impressed.
Well duh, this piece is like impossible to play well except for those like MAH

wow just discovered roslavets. sounds very much like scriabin. with the mustache he even looks like his predecessor.
No he is talking about Roslavets.

Shame on this stuffy company of non-musicians. He is with Sorajbi Scriabin and Messiaen the solution to the movement from romantic into the 20th century, not, excuse me once more, Anton von Webern.
Anton Webern is extremely romantic in my opinion. Especially his late works.

this music sounds likes a non change sequence ,scriabin would not use this clumsy technique.
This technique is not clumsy, despite me not knowing what a "non change sequence" is.
