There's really something for everyone. For the spectral fans there's enough sonic invention; for Americans, there's the driving pulse, for the Brits an incredible lucidity, and for the Germans a real argument with history.
This score seems to confirm an evolution in Ferneyhough's music, not to less complexity, but to less density which makes each detail perceptible. Boulez had a general trend for middle range music, Webern to middle and treble range; here, we have a trend to extreme treble register, with an opposition to dznse middle range and bass quasi clusters (it is not clusters, for sure, but the contrast of density gives this feeling). There is a follow-on o intention in that music which is not so usual. Ferneyhough writes often in a more mobile way.
Not really fair to compare the two. That's like comparing a post-rock collective with Sinatra. But it's fair to compare him to Schoenberg or Webern, and he's no Schoenberg or Webern.
So much rain has fallen (in Russia and the world) since the Nutcracker's first night... ours is the best of times, we get to listen to music from the past's great masters and also music of today from a click in our homes.
certainly an interesting sound construction, but i wouldn't call it 'musical speech'. If 20 different animals start making noises together, the sound also might be interesting, but they're not saying anything! 😄
Modern times are really a dream come true for talentless composers. They are everywhere these days. I bet if Brian made a piece consisting of his dog walking on the piano, nobody would be able to tell. Oh how brilliant and modern.....yea rite.
taon2004 It sounds kinda... oh how to put it, garbagey? But the music itself ignoring the godawful noise is rather unique as he uses 4096th notes and rests in it
Calling a master like Ferneyhough "talentless" is utterly laughable. Watch the video "Climbing The Mountain" about the Arditti Quartet rehearsing Ferneyhough's sixth quartet and you will see that he knows exactly what he's doing.
@@alejandrom.4680 this not spectral music. if you are fan of the style you should be able to tell the different between different styles. This new complexity.

the driving rhythm?
Agreed, tho only if uh ... you mean "rhythm" in a Christopher Handy kind of way, not in "a synonym for 'groove'" kind of way lol
Like, does it drive? Hell yea. Does it bop? Not even for a second.
I seriously enjoyed this new composition from Brian. Thank you very much for sharing! :)

This is so beautiful, easily my new favorite ensemble work of his.
One of the most moving pieces of his "late" period.
so good...
thank you!
beautiful
awesome
Hmmm... Not quite Tchaikovsky, is it?

But Ferney how ?
Who can believe this song uses 4096th notes?
Where?

Máster...
Neoclassicism...
pretty

One like you on every single post-tonal video I've seen. You are so boring.
@@yasmeleon Wow, It's like you see right trough me. That's me to the bone. But post tonal means something else.
Maybe have you ever thought like, other people enjoy things for different reasons? Why the hell would someone lie about enjoying art?

Ugh
It is really a very dark period in the history of music. An insult to people's intelligence.
What do you know about "intelligence?"
have you ever heard of Motzart? He's pretty good, I discovered him through AutoPlay on youtube. i'm trying to see him In Concert later this year!
Alvaro Bertrand If you don’t like it, just let it be..., as a spectralist fan, I love it.

For the Intelligent only!
