You've heard the Concerto for Orchestra . If you haven't you (and anyone who reads this is in for perhaps the culmination of the first half of the 20th century in aural profundity
wow! thanks ! Wonderful to be able to see this score gone use it in my Mozartiana along with schnittke and Matthias Pintscher .I'm so sick of hearing pre20th century music .This came late in LutoPluto's career !
Not a bad piece. While I do not perceive that there is any consistent, coherent pitch language other than a bare chromatic scale, nor any obvious thematic material, it does have a definite overall shape articulated purely by gesture, texture and timbre (a shape which is very well-worn in western classical music by now). Also the piano part is easy to follow and is (except toward the end of movts 3 and 4) not gratuitously virtuosic. For harmonies, I sense that he follows his ear rather than some abstract numeric scheme, although toward the end of movt 4 they get awfully muddy and messy. Of course, all anyone wants to talk about these days with regard to contemporary classical music is ORCHESTRATION. Like that’s all there is to music.
This concerto is of course very well written, but it does not rank between my preferred pieces from Lutoslawski. I prefer by much the concerto for cello. Pergaps should I listen to it many times more carefully?
I enjoy the Lutoslawski piano concerto, and this recording of it, but yes, I agree with you - it is not among my very favorite works by this composer. The cello concerto seems to me as well to be the better work.
I used to think the same way, but I think for me the main problem is that the beginning of the first movement doesn’t hold my attention well enough, after that it’s an enchanting work, comparable with the cello concerto imo
@@zgart Actually I have the sme feeling than you. In this beginning section, the piano part looks like a tribute to Bartok's night or nature music, before becoming more prenent, and during this evolution, there are subsections where te timpani ar the percuissive piano writing seem alo so a tribute to another Bartok's writing style.
@@gerardbegni2806Harmonies are reminiscences of Ravel, textures - Bartók. Lutosławski admitted that he drew inspiration from Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Debussy and Prokofiev.
Probably because Hollywood appropriated this kind of music as the soundtrack for horror films. You can't have a scary music without something that sounds like this.
Paskudny komentarz, kompozycja natomiast znakomita. Muzyka odzwierciedla przeróżne emocje, nie zawsze radosne, cukierkowe, czy trafiające w gusta gawiedzi. Być może pan tych emocji nie pojmuje. Są rzeczy i dziedziny, których podobnie nie pojmuje i ja, nie udzielam jednak na ich temat bezwartościowych, pożałowania godnych opinii. Proszę uwierzyć, że nie każdym ekstrementem tego rodzaju wyciśniętym w wielkich bólach i trudzie z mózgownicy warto dzielić się z całym światem. Miej Pan litość i oszczędź bliźnim zażenowania.
truly a masterpiece, just like almost every other piece of music from this composer
I am so happy I discovered Witold Lutoslawski tonight!!!!!!!
Welcome! Try the Cello Concerto

all movements are _attacca_
Really loved that cadenza by Simply Piano playing c over and over again on a shitty midi piano right in the peak of the first movement
Simply piano cadenza 😂
a powerful concerto and thank you so much for uploading the score!!!
9:26 merveilleux
This is so amazing to listen to. Very suspenseful and surprising. I really enjoyed it
The range of instrumentation and texture in the Passacaglia is incredible. Amazing to think this is now standard repertoire
Excelente obra y magnífica interpretación.
Thank you for taking the trouble to do this for us. Love this piece so much! Great to see the score as well.
Wow, this is extraordinary music.
fantastic
based Lutosławski
Sehr schöne Aufnahme. Ich habe K. Zimerman und Werke von Lutoslawski oft gehört, aber nie zusammen.
thank you
Invigorating.
In the best of ways
This is so wonderful.
Would you happen to still have a study material of the score? :-)
Get one from Boosey and Hawkes, at least in the UK

i write a sonate like boulez :)

It's a little bit ironic that you're writing a tribute to Mozart when you say you're "so sick of hearing pre-20th century music"
3:18 i see the Mahler reference
Reminded me of Firebird, but then again this might also be a Mahler quote.
15:14
Which recording is this? You've got both listed. Is it the BBC symphony or Berlin? Both feature Zimerman.

WARNING: BAD PUN ALERT!
Witold Lutoslawski, but he just wouldn't listen...

@@zgartFor me the beginning is one of the most interesting things that Lutosławski wrote

I kind of agree
How come most contemporary music is scary to me?
Because it's so visceral. It makes you feel emotions that all the composers before weren't able to attain in their music
Probably because Hollywood appropriated this kind of music as the soundtrack for horror films. You can't have a scary music without something that sounds like this.
Dissonance is associated with tension.
Caleb Hu hi,you only look to my hip hop music? And not to my symphony and fugues or waltz?
PudgeControlsTheWeather 3:18 is mahler 5th
So many ads right in the middle, disgusting! At least put them them between movements @belanna111
It's not up to the person who uploaded the piece where the adverts are placed.
