It's a courageous, and challenging piece, not for the faint of heart. Don't think I'll ever look at a bass drum in the same way again.
Interesting use of the word courageous. Care to elaborate...?
I dont get why people hate on this so much, its sperimental, have you ever seen a bass drum as protagonist? No. And like musically speaking its a niece piece
I usually give composers a lot of leeway as music comes in many shapes forms and sizes. But on this piece, I think some student at a school like Juilliard left his homework on the subway. So at the last minute he took a fountain pen and started flicking ink on the paper. Then some woke professor looked at it and said, "it might need a little work here and there, but Absolutely Genius". Personally, I think the moron should have been expelled.
@Lanfeust De Troy Ha ! Ha ! ;-)
Very experimental, which can be polarizing. I like it. It reminds me of some orchestral compositions by Frank Zappa.
the performer has no sense of rhythm or tempo. might have been a great piece. there are classical pieces with focus on percussion which is done much better.
@@dmkays Basically this just plain sucks.
Very inspiring, this dude is a dark lord of the drum. Im shocked at how amazing this was.
THIS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY PROJEST THX
Lmaoo same
Best song ever. Best part at 34:22
Oh god that hurts
@@adrielanelkazethro Except the part where the burn showed how little they know about music by calling it a song, and described the best part accurately. Stuffy, boring snobs.
Damn I was eating and I dropped my bread
I didn’t listen to this version in full, a professional recording does this piece justice. Genuinely one of Prokofiev’s coolest experimental pieces. Loved it. Very soundtracky
why does he destroy the bass drum????
@@yat_ii Ask Prokofiev…
I've never seen, or heard, anything quite like this but I like it. It demonstrates how flexible a bass drum can be.
I think it's good. It's always important to deviate from the norm sometimes and think outside the box. This has fantastic tension. Music is an emotional extension and it's okay to use discordance to express things like panic and anxiety and confusion. Like this is what raw fear sounds like in orchestra form. This is what beating your fists bloody on the door with righteous furry sounds like. Those are real feeling people have and it's interesting to hear someone put sound to it.
Wonderful symphonic concert ❤
You know what... I like it
Fascinated by this
I liked your camera angle and repeat of the ending, congrats!
Thank you! (The multiple replays is an homage to the silly replays in a TV show called MXC)
HOLY SHIT THERE IS A BASS DRUM CONCERTO. WTF
reminded me of princess monoke soundtrack
extremely musical.
Drum horn combo is my favourite..
Impressive!
Nice bass & drum
I get both Frank Zappa and Basil Poledouris vibes! I love it.
I think it's ingenious. 👍👍
wow
Somebody wrote a drum concerto!
9:00, the bass drum said I am painful
Then Nikolaus said: Wait till the end
Nice drum
dear niko,pls complety music song pagebluk artis of alib ba ta....this song is beautiful..but not complet maybe you want to colabrated
gogogoggogoogog
What was he doing with his life when he made this piece?
LOL I saw drums and Prokofiev and I was like "WTH!".
What is the name of this instrument?
Bass drum
interesting
34:22
Bro why did they clap there??? 1:27
come 0n
I think Grandad Prokofiev will be turning in his grave.
Fuck no. Great work. Also listen to his late works, amazing percussion
Flipas si crees que a S. Prokofiev no le gustaría este tipo de cosa
why
Sounds like movie soundtrack and very tense maybe background for Hitchcock type suspense. Reminds me of Holst Mars that opens the Planets. problem I see is no break in the tension. Yes music can have tension but not relaxing to have almost constant tension with almost no break. Kind of need stress with alternating quiet parts. Too stressful in today's world with high stress did NOT like partially destroying the bass drum. Was that intentional? Imagine a violinist destroying a Stradivarius violin! Terrible end but guess in recording we would not see that. Music does not have to relax but make statements and I heard no relief from stress at all. Guess if I buy the saxophone concerto I would get this but might shut off CD and not play it very much. Even Rite of Spring still wild today but it does have some tension relief in it. I do like his violin concerto. I like percussion concerto better on marimba or xylophone since they have different notes. Not really my thing but is music just no much needed relief until it ends
Why is there so many dorks in the comments? "Wow so beautiful❤"
Wth no not beautiful im here cuz my shitty school is making me learn this
Lol yea
ok?
When i first heard about the existence of this solo piece in a short documentation about it on UA-cam, I was hyped. But it has huge flaws (the piece, not this particular performance, although either the microphone quality or my speakers arent ideal for the bass).
Firstly, its way too experimental, maybe useful for a horror film, but not a joy to listen to. Sometimes i thought that somebody made a mistake until that weird note repeated multiple times.
But mostly, when a piece of music demands that everything has to stand still for several minutes (!) while the Soloist prepares his mallets and other tools (with help from others!), it is just poor orchestration.
Oh my god, I recently rewatched it, this time to the end. I thought it couldnt be worse than in my previous imagination when they threw the sticks away backwards and couldnt get rid of the chain. But then 34:21 happened, disgusting. Now I do hate it.
ummmm
Whomsoever clapped at 1:23, shame.
I just don’t get it, sorry. Too experimental
So what?
So what is Miles Davis, not Gabriel Prokofiev…
Sounds amateurish
Clapin' ass... SMH
I personally think this was created for the sake of creation. I very much dislike it
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it. I don’t know what the judgment of posterity will be but thought it was interesting and fun to listen to.
@@johntuffin3262 very fun indeed but I feel like it was only made as a gimmick and it just seems artificial
What a creepy thing to say on the performer’s own UA-cam page! Not to mention stunningly ignorant of the century-long legacy the Prokofievs have built revolutionizing orchestral percussion.
How embarrassing for you.
@@piano_dissent LOL
Crammed full of gimmicks and 20 minutes too long. The willful destruction of the instrument at the conclusion is utterly ridiculous.
You sound likeva fun, open-minded guy.
@@hecbiz75 I've been called worse things by better people.
@@DavidA-ps1qr Ooh! Congratulations!! 🤣😂🤣
Wtf was that
This is not music.
It really is, though.
You're not a person
tHiS iS n0t mUsiC
It’s definitely music, not very good music in my opinion though.
oh it’s something all right 😂!
