Because it is not difficult. Ligeti could not tell if everybody is playing all what is written, you see… Chaotic pieces where everybody is playing all the time at the same time are easy. Birtwistle, Varese, etc. chaos makes everything easy.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 These polyrhythms are not at all chaotic in your sense. They have to be carried out very precisely. You should study the score first. Even chaos theory has precise mathematical terms. And the 4th movement is, as Ligeti himself said, inspired by fractals.
Este concierto sorprende porque hasta poco antes nos habíamos acostumbrado al estilo de Ligeti basado en técnicas conocidas como la micropolifonía y los ritmos mecánicos. Esta rítmica no deja de ser mecánica pero en otro sentido. Es muy sorprendente la imaginaciòn tìmbrica del 2do movimiento incluyendo ocarinas y flautas que glisan. Ligeti sigue impactando hoy en dìa y enseándonos como si viviera
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction💥
The parallels don't end there-the 3rd movement is very reminiscent of Automne a Varsovie, and I'm sure there's more reuse of material from the Etudes here.
@@aproc_ thanks. Btw I didn't want to imply that there's anything improper with the quoting. Goodness knows if that were the case, Gioacchino Rossini would have been vilified a lot for doing so among his operas.
Interesting. Probably an early - maybe even a student - work. The Bartok influence is strong, but so is Ligeti’s career-long fascination with color & texture. A wonderful group of young virtuosi. They have just made a new fan.
".....Probably an early - maybe even a student - work....." Oddly enough, it isn't. Ligeti wrote it in 1988, when he was 65. He said of it: ""I present my artistic credo in the Piano Concerto: I demonstrate my independence from criteria of the traditional avantgarde, as well as the fashionable postmodernism." Perhaps he thought that there was no reason why it shouldn't sound like Bartok, since both were Hungarians.
Hi Imri, A wonderful performance indeed! I would like to ask; where does one source the solo part for this concerto? I own a copy of the score, but cannot locate a solo part anywhere!
Cus this blows my mind, and not in a good way, it's just a mess. This is what a 3 year old would come up with if he was let loose with an orchestra for a few hours, or maybe something better!
Ohh goodness, we have an elitist. Such elitist angst! You realize any one could say the same things about anything you listen and provide adequate explanations and all of them/none of them are right.
This is my first time ever hearing this and wow now this is what I call music!
How can all these musicians look so chill while playing this incredibly difficult piece?!?
DerSibbe ikr they make it look so easy

Seeing its note, it's reallyyyyyyyyyy hard. So they are playing it a bit slowly

@@leonardoiglesias2394Have you seen the sheet music? It's absolutely nuts
Such an amazing performance of such an incredible work. I got mesmerized!
I find that this music becomes more enjoyable after several hearings.
Yes!!!! Its exactly the same with Bach. Ligeti is the Bach of 20th Century.
🤔Okaaaay, with that in mind, I might go straight to the 7th listening and not bother with the first 6.

Bravo what a great performance
Amazing. Young musicians and so good. Fantastic pianist and great conductor.

(00:05) 01 Vivace molto ritmico e preciso
(04:21) 02 Lento e deserto
(11:00) 03 Vivace cantabile
(15:45) 04 Allegro risoluto, molto ritmico
(22:07) 05 Presto luminoso
A fantastic performance!
A terrific performance!
Much of the pianist's part in the first movement sounds like direct quotations of his Etude No.1 (Désordre). Thanks for sharing this.

so good ...
wow bravo!
Hi Imri,

Hi Kieran- Thank you so much! Send me an email at talgam.imri at gmail and I'll try to help!
rare piece
this piece is pure funk.
nice
I like it but it's a bit too slow at parts
Such a romantic, spiritual piece. One can envy all the players having this incredible artistic experience…hahahaahahahahaahahahaha
where's the groove?
Look at the percussionist, especially at the beginning
There isn't one, there isn't anything
@@Enigmatic_Music1 hoho so entrenched in his elitist angst he needs to comment negatively multiple times on the same vid. Goodness.

Well the entire piece is incredibly groovy for me, but this performance can't show it very well ig. You might like to listen DNSO's
Early minimalism? Deserves minimal listeners. 😵💫
Why would you condemn so many innocent people to have to learn and perform this dribble?
Because we enjoy it. Why do you think contemporary ensembles exist bucko? Also wouldn’t call the second movement dribble lmao
Ohh goodness, we have an elitist. Such elitist angst! You realize any one could say the same things about anything you listen and provide adequate explanations and all of them/none of them are right.
bruh what's your point
Drivel perhaps u mean. George Best was a dribbler
..
You wish you could make one fifth the impact in this world as Gyorgy Ligeti
