What wonderful music!! What a glorious picture!
The tragedy in England is how many of our great/promising composers died young eg Purcell, Pelham Humfrey, Jeremiah Clarke, Thomas Linley.
It's awesome to see Thomas Linley Jr return to UA-cam. He was a dear boyhood friend of Mozart's, whom, we read was crushed when he heard of Linley's tragic death. Linley's music is delightful, and it shows a tremendous grasp of counterpoint, melody & harmonic balance which appear almost Handellian in breadth at times. No wonder Mozart regarded him a genius (and Mozart never gave out such praise lightly). More Linley Jr. please!
Devils in the detail, crossroads cursed
So crushed, I couldn't recognize him anymore. I thought: "That's the guy that won the piano division of the Tchaikovsky competition," (No, silly, he was a violinist); then I thought he was the reincarnation of Kodaly who wrote Carmina Burana (no, willy silly, it was Orf who wrote that)....(!?) THEN! I was sure he was the actor in ua-cam.com/video/qlVcdP3LoRY/v-deo.html Still around the corner. By that time he was squeaking like the brakes on the bus (since fixed, I pointed this out so often), and what he wanted to..... Where for art though (a composer been, a player, and....) Does that corruption called the royal tradition STILL hold his music from being published, openly!? WHY!? Exactly.... Other than he skipped his own funeral, after being pronounced dead, and swam the English channel, even tried to warn that dense stupid Marie Antoinette about what was brewing. All that's left is the legend of Saint Germaine... WHAT a bunch of spoiled brats these corrupt royals are! And who was it propositioned him, and then threw him overboard!? I love T. L. Forever!
Magical..pure magic!
Omen, don't speak ill of the dead listening to this, very powerful
Apparently he and Mozart were the same age, and were good buddies. Too bad poor ol' Tom drowned in a boating accident aged 22. Too soon. Thanks for the music, Tom.
The best die young and shouldn't be mourned for this privilege...
Fascinating.
Touches of Zadok the Priest at the final chorus
Indeed. I hear Händel all over the place. He seems to quite adored him.
As a Linley fan, thanks for uploading!
Full of magic, great performance; thank you "E.V" for this post. Linley's compositions are mostly lost. The surviving works testify to his "innate" mastery of melody, gift for counterpoint and musical imagination. Since today everything is "measured" according to A. Mozart, then Tom Linley is the "English Mozart". Just as Amadeus learned from his father Leopold, a composer, Thomas also learned from his father, also a composer, Thomas Linley ("the elder"); father and son Linley wrote the comic opera "The Duenna" (21.11.1775) in the first season only performed 75 times(!)Amadeus Mozart: "I feel that Linley is a real genius, if he had lived, he would have been one of the greatest ornaments of world music".
Extra bellisima [41:15] XVIII. (Chorus) What Howling Whirlwinds
And had Mozart lived longer, what might he have accomplished? Or might not have? Musical styles were changing. J.S. Bach was almost instantly outdated and mostly forgotten after his death. Mozart's music wasn't regularly performed during the Romantic era outside of his slightly Sturm und Drang Don Giovanni. Bruno Walter commented, that when his career began in the late 19th century Mozart was regarded primarily as "a master of the Rococo" and only later were the depths of his genius recognized.
@@BohemianBaroque Creation is "plural"! J.S.Bach became an icon of baroque because he followed, studied, analyzed, varied musical ideas, number of colleagues: Johann Christoph Bach, J. Pahelbel, J. Kuhnau, Johann Ludwig Bach, J. Walther, J. Pisendel, S. L. Weiss, J. Fasch , J. Reincken, D. Buktehude, N. Bruhns, G. Bohm, N. Strungk, J. Froberger, J. von Kerl, J. Fischer, J. Fuchs, G. Palestrina, G. Frescobaldi, A. Corelli, G. Le Grenzi, G. Bassani, G. Torelli, A. Marcello, A. Albinoni, Vivaldi, B. Marcello, N. Porpora, P. Locatelli, F. Durante, G. Ristori, G. Pergolesi, A. Caldara , A. Raison, F. Dieupart, F. Couperin, L. Marchand, N. de Grigni, Persl, J. D. Zelenka, J. Matheson, Telemann, Kaiser,..., Handl. Without the above, there is no J.S. Bach. Similar to A.Mozart, the icon of classical style, he followed, analyzed, varied - musical ideas: J.C:Bach, F.E.Bach, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Hermann F. Raupach, Johann G.Eckard, Johann Schobert, Leontzi Honauer, Pierre van Maldere, Leo, Galupi, Samartini, Jameli, Traetta, Paisiello, Anfossi, Pichini, Andrea Luchesi, Vanhal, Dittersdorf, Dusek, Stamic, Gretri, Gosek, Sakini, Mislivecek, Gluk, Salieri, J. Haydn, M. Hayd,...,Gazzaniga, Pietro A. Guglielmi, Giuseppe Sarti, Martín y Soler, Arne. Without them there is no A. Mozart. If they did not exist - J.S. Bach and A. Mozart - these mentioned composers would create - what they otherwise created!
@@stefanstamenic3640 True, "somewhat known and little known" composers influenced the "great". However there is an individual creative genius to Bach and Mozart which elevated their music above and beyond into timelessness. Some of those names are entirely unfamiliar to me! Now to research a bit...
@@BohemianBaroque Of course, J.S.Bach, A. Mozart created a certain number of bescelera, I just wanted to say that those bescelera are result: 99% work (studying the notes of other composers) and 1% genius. Romanticism created an inverse situation of 99% genius and only 1% work (on other people's notes); empirical facts show that this is completely wrong. Just one example, the Vienna Symphony was created by Pierre van Maldere. Without such composers, there are no future new directions in music and no future besceleros. The problem is that these composers are completely neglected, they are considered unimportant. Also, some piece of music - they move forward - and some (even brilliant) do not move forward. When you listen to Paisiello: "Les Adieux de la Grande Duchesse des Russies" 1783., - you hear the future Beethoven.
Very enjoyable 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Bellissimo ! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Magique ! merci
Never heard of this guy Thomas Linley junior (1756-1778). He drowned on a boat trip.
Too baroque
