This symphony MUST be heard more often in the concert hall! It really is wonderfully Russian in every way. Had he lived past the age of 35, who knows what masterpieces he might have given us? Fabulous!
Never listened this beautiful masterwork performed better-an overwhelming gorgeous rendition! Both thumbs up for Evgeny Svetlanov and a phantastic playing Swedish Radio Symphony!
I had the good fortune to hear this fine symphony played at the Chautauqua Institution by the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra on Sat., Aug. 16. I had not heard of the composer before and his life was short (1866-1901). How unfortunate that we could not have been blessed with more music from him. At least we have this fine symphony. Those cold Moscow Winters did not help this poor man who lacked enough measure of good health to live longer.
Приятно, что за границей знают, комменты все на английском. А в России со времён Хрущёва Василий Калинников практически запрещённый композитор. Только в отдельных редких концертах "допускают"...:-)) По радио и ТВ не услышать давно!
Слишком мажористый минор Калинникова не устраивает князей мира сего!
WOW. i listen to various orchestr for this piece a also mit svetlanov... and before falling asleep total i just looked for anoother combo... of course i know this orchestr and yes that is berwaldhallen, net trollhassen.... and symph in one of my favorite keys... well after 4 measures it was apparent... YES! that's it. that's the way for this symphony and could not wait for about 20 measures since they were just warming up.... what can i say this is a keeper for sure :) fantastický
This is a treasure. It is a bridge connecting Tchaikovskiy and Glazounov. Why?
I divide Romanticism in 3 sections: Early Romanticism, Middle Romanticism and Late Romanticism. Each of these goes into 3 subsections:
1. Early Early R.- Late Beethoven, Hummel, Weber...
2. Middle Early R. - Schubert, Schumann...
3. Late Middle R. - Rossini, Meyerbeer...
4. Early Middle R. - Verdi, Paganini, Mendelssohn...
5. The Golden Mean: Alkan, Chopin, Liszt.
6. Late Middle R. - Moszkowsky, Scharwenka, Rubinstein, Taneïev, Tchaikovskiy, Brahms, Granados, Pierné, Reubke (ahead of time)...
7. Early Late R. - Lyapunov, Glazounov, early Scriabin, Dukas, Blumenfeld...
8. The Pinnacle of Harmonic Complexity and the Very post-Bach Music Itself: Godowsky, Medtner, Rachmaninov.
The last breath of fresh air not infected with miasma: Dohnányi.
9. Late Late R. (very late, deceased, stone-dead, perished, done for, stiff, defunct, degenerate, lifeless, pushing up daisies, departed, demised, passed on, expired, bereft of life, ex-Romanticism...) - Shimanovsky, Sabaneïev, Stanchinskiy, Busoni...
Now, if I haven’t ignited a provocative argument, I’d better shoot myself in the heart with a blunderbuss. (Or your channel isn’t popular, which destroys my hope for humanity)
9:38-9:47 - if I were to sign a pact with the Devil, I would immolate millions just to be given the privilege and priority of composing *that* passage. Come on, Impy-Impy, I have an offer you will not refuse... there’s some history to be rewritten!
+f1f1s Interesting categorization, which needs to take into consideration that many of these composers straddled various periods. Also, you cannot leave out Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler, and R. Strauss. And in your "Late Middle" period, you have to include Smetana and Dvorak.Amongst the Russians, I'm very happy to note that you include Glazunov who in my opinion is of considerable stature, and not any of the Five Nationalists who at least for me are of far lesser stature. I would not place Kalinnikov as we know him into the same category as Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, and Rachmaninov - the three greats of the later romantics as far as Russian composers are concerned.
Of the two I've hear online, this is the best performance-wise and sound recording-wise.
Roger Wilco Not surprising this is the best performance with Svetlanov as conductor. Overal,l probably the best interpreter of Russian Romantic music ever. Any conductor who can turn Glazunov's ballet "The Seasons", which is good music, into sounding like an absolute masterpiece, has to be very special IMO.
CP, glad you also are into this delightful music. Cheers!
fur bru, I love this symphony. The first movement goes into a motif like a romantic popular song. In fact, I've added lyrics to it, just for fun. :)
Thanks for posting. You've done a great thing.
There is no box to reply to fifis. So I'll do it here. K's first symphony is quite like Glazounov in lyricism.
+Roger Wilco I've always liked Glazunov much better, but it's a personal thing, simply the way I receive their music.
Such a gifted composer! The polished work of this First Symphony reveals a young man who might have reached the level of other great Russians had he survived.
+barneysghost The only analogy I can come up with is - if Tchaikovsky had died right after writing his First Symphony (co-incidentally in the same key), we would never have known what he might have achieved later on.
Maravilloso, sin duda, maravilloso.
I'd take issue with f1f1s remarks concerning Busoni. His Piano Concerto is Magnificent, but you "Need to make a Day of it" in order to listen to it. Also among f1f1s "Early Late R." I'd put Charles-Marie Widor. More known for his Organ works, His 2 Piano Concertos, Cello Concerto, and Fantaisie for Piano & Orchestra have recently been excellently Recorded. His Orchestral Pieces show Debussyesque tendencies, but were largely written when Debussy was a youth. Truly ahead of his time!
For those mourning this composer's brief career......don't forget there's a second symphony, just as packed with wonderfully Russian melodies and tone color. Be sure to hear it, if you haven't. As to the first symphony, try to find Kiril Kondrashin's Moscow Symphony recording of it from the early 60s.......the best one, in my opinion.
Kondrashin was a true master... his Shostakovich cycle has never been bettered imho.
7:27 ooops
A beautiful piece! I hope WFMT plays this sometime.
As much as I enjoy WFMT when in the car I rarely listen to them otherwise. It seems they play all of the old chestnuts that while great music do not comprise all of good music. Either that or they play an esoteric playlist designed only for those who are interested in showcasing technically challenging pieces of interest only to those enthralled by that particular instrument.
I do enjoy the knowledge of the various hosts. They know their stuff, and don't just read from program notes. However, since I've found some of the wonderful posters here on UA-cam I'm afraid the radio sits idle as I am presented such wonderful pieces such as this that I never would have know of otherwise.
