Witold Lutoslawski - Preludes and Fugue for 13 Solo Strings - Warsaw National Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra - Recorded at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in 1973
Oportunidade maravilhosa de ouvir e assistir à obra e regência de seu compositor Lutoslawski. 1973 não está muito distante no tempo, mas uma gravação como essa é histórica. Parabéns ao canal.
Indescritível a regência de Lutoslawski, frente a um grupo de músicos tão bem ensaiados e competentes. Uma aula de orquestração e complexidade sonora. Aqui juntamos todos os grandes mestres, de Bach a Boulez, de Stravinsky a Crumb. Fantástico!!!!
I recall my guitar teacher attended a performance of this in Syracuse NY circa 1982? With Lutoslawski present, He knew I would like it and drove me to the same presentation in Utica NY a few days later, alas the composer was absent, but my musical perspective was highly influenced by this live performance.
I've watched this video dozens of times over the years, and I have to say that I absolutely love the moments where there's an aleatoric passage and Lutoslawski just stands there while the ensemble is fucking blasting away, it's just such a brilliant image.
so wonderful! this seems to be constructed like his String Quartet (1964), which has long been a real favourite of mine. i'm very happy to have found another work reminiscent of it.
This is intensely personal music which focuses on sonorities. If music can be defined as sound (whether organized or not), then the artist's expressions here fits that description. Rather than unusual or invented sound producing instruments, he chose 13 traditional string instruments to express his ideas. There are aleatoric devices employed here which suggests that a second performance of the work will offer a different sound scheme. The irony here is that the title of the work leads one to expect something more traditional sounding assuming one is not familiar with Lutoslawski's music. However, a more contemporary descriptive title might lead one to listen for things programmable which were not really intended by the composer. It simply is what it is and holds this particular composer's personal feelings and objectives within itself whether received well by an attentive audience or not.
if it sounds beautiful to you or me or anyone else, then it is beautiful for that person. no person can legitimately define what is beautiful for others. some will argue that there are objective qualities of artworks that represent that which is truly beautiful, but they are wrong. what transpires between an artwork and a person appreciating that artwork is completely subjective. people who allow others to define for them that which is, or isn't beautiful, are unfortunate.
Dayo Adewoye This type of music is for people very experienced, people that are so into it that it's like poetry. This piece takes advantage of atmosphere mostly and then melodies which reflect and more well define it. But when I say experienced I mean really experienced. I don't like this type because it's too exclusive/depends on knowledge and experience beforehand. It's like a movie based on conspiracy theories. If it's done well, you have to know like 200 of them comprehensively just so that you can understand what one says. Music like this really makes statements like all art is pornography really stand out. When you're well versed in it, music like this is comparable to a different sexual fetish by a person who designs sexual fetishes.
In classical music and many other genres the sole role od beauty stay in how deep, how many parts and layers of the piece are counsciously projected by their astonishing knowledge. Knowledge is a great part of beauty.
La bonne chose avec ce compositeur est qu'il remet du mouvement et de la vie dans la création postmoderne musicale, l'immobilité insupportable et le paysage sonore minéral. Il est bon de voir que les compositeurs modernes réalisent que la musique est avant tout un mouvement, une vie, de sons structurés qui prennent forme et guident l’auditeur au lieu de le laisser se languir après moins d'une minute !

De Bartók a Berg, tudo é revisitado nessa extraordinária obra contemporânea!!!!!
I'm resting when I hear it!
excellent recording - wonderful piece of music!
Это произведение Мастера - прекрасная школа исполнения на струнных инструментах! Большое спасибо за это видео🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
so wonderful! this seems to be constructed like his String Quartet (1964), which has long been a real favourite of mine. i'm very happy to have found another work reminiscent of it.
Chef d'oeuvre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR PEOPLE WHOSE EMOTIONAL NEEDS ARE ALREADY MEET
Seems like the perfect soundtrack to my life.
Fantastic. because there is almost no video-material of Lutoslawski conducting his own work!
Check "Chain I" with London Sinfonietta - superb!
Beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing.
Chef d'oeuvre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do we define beautiful music?
if it sounds beautiful to you or me or anyone else, then it is beautiful for that person. no person can legitimately define what is beautiful for others. some will argue that there are objective qualities of artworks that represent that which is truly beautiful, but they are wrong. what transpires between an artwork and a person appreciating that artwork is completely subjective. people who allow others to define for them that which is, or isn't beautiful, are unfortunate.

We don't.

@@7Korat I second your statement, sir.
Did they not have colour TV in Poland in the 70s? Looks like like it was recorded ten years earlier.
In Italy, colour tv has been introduced in 1974, so it doesn't sound strange if in Poland has been sooner or later the same

@@MegaCirse that'd be pretty cool yeah
This hurts my ears in a good way.
fugue 18:18
I respect him,but how you can compare this to vivaldi or mozart,lol,cocofony
It is not going to be any comparison this is classical contemporary music
