Wow All these trills and melisma, these french baroque harmonies, kinda fresh while still being a part of common practice, and woodwinds, this is an otherworldly sound for me, what a true gem
I'll throw my hat in for the second movement as well. It has some nice surprises throughout. Can't listen to this without being reminded of Stravinsky's approach in Pulcinella. Both works edge on being arrangements.
I think the 2nd mvt was the most interesting. It had the right amount of distance to the original. The other two movements sound to close to a mere arrangement without any inventive goals.
I want to disagree actually, I think these orchestration choices make these baroque pieces sound much more fresh, and that sound is totally new and magical (for me at least)
@@aviuscomposer2605 What is the history of Couperin? I can't find any source about his involvement in slaves trading. And I honestly can't find anything wrong in people not fighting against slavery in the early 18th century...
@Whatismusic123 Why don't you spend time on that which you actually LIKE rather than dislike. It seems like a massive waste of time, and it's really sad. Maybe you should get a job in the local supermarket there in Iceland or something. Music is not the thing for you. Enjoy listening to what you like, by all means, but as many others have pointed out to you, you have no idea what you're talking about, so quit trying to educate others until you get an education yourself, and not just base all of your opinions on a couple of sentences from a book written in the 1800's by Prout. Things have moved on since then.
These are a revelation to me. I have been listening to them on my evening walk for three weeks. It is as if a new musical form were invented.
What a load of old codswallop!
I agree that there is something a bit revelatory here.
Wow

Syncro from 7:50 to 8:10 could be not so accurate, but I'm sure you can understand why.
Second movement is definately my fav
New to this work, thanks for introducing it to me.
The solo timpani on the last B (instead of scoring a cello let’s say) sounds more like a full stop at the end of a sentence/paragraph! Nice!
I like your video very much. It's really great. I'll keep an eye on your channel. I am your fan and I will support you.
Love it!

They these for a sense of a fresh perspective on the past:: ua-cam.com/video/XPPoXTKpqIY/v-deo.html
Wonderful upload. I wonder where I could get the original score (the same as in the video) as a pdf?
Links added right now in description! ;)
Try get his arrangement score to put this too.
And receiving a copyright strike? No thanks. :D
Also, Adès' version in free perusal on Faber website. ;)
BLM I love this but did not know the history of Couperin, sorry, it's hard for me to ignore.
@@aviuscomposer2605 wait till you find out the history of a lot of composers 😬

@@aviuscomposer2605 great shitpost dude. Though, a little light on the “-post” part.
Utterly AWFUL and completely pointless. Couperin is no doubt turning in his grave.
It's OK if you don't like it.
No earthquake registered near Couperin's grave, though. :)
Couperin would laugh in this incompetent composer's face. What a joke.
Lol
EVERY composer laughs in YOUR own face.
Write something that comes anywhere near Adès or Couperin, and then you can talk.
