Toccata Op.155-York Bowen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- York Bowen has been described as 'The English Rachmaninoff'. As a young composer he was highly regarded by some the most admired performers of the day, including Hans Richter, Fritz Kreisler, and Lionel Tertis. Bowen composed more than 160 works, which show a blend of romanticism and strong individuality. This collection ranges widely over his output for solo piano, from relatively large-scale structures to quite short, almost miniature, pieces.
Evident in these works is Bowen's responsiveness to two very different national schools: the Russian, with its often epic character, its pianistic virtuosity, strong rhythmical impact, and darkly atmospheric, melancholic harmonies and melodies, and the French, generally distinguished by its lightness, its playfully decorated melodies, and tender harmonies. Among the composers whose piano music left a mark on Bowen's own works for the instrument are Rachmaninoff, Balakirev, Medtner, Scriabin, Debussy, and even sometimes Ravel. Echoes of the music of Ireland, Delius, Elgar, and Vaughan Williams may, however, also be heard in Bowen's work. It is this fusion of different styles which makes Bowen's own very individual sound world so remarkable.

The clarity of this performance is insane. Such energy and commitment.
Fantastic performance
I am gobsmacked. Who is York Bowen? How did this name never show up before in my 60 years of listening to music of this ilk? You have done a great service posting this wonderful fireworks of a piano Toccata. This has left a huge smile on my face and I am up way past bedtime completely energized. Well done! Thank you!
I don't listen to classical music but just found this. Followed a link from an Eddie Van Halen video.

Ive tried it on my channel, fun to play but tough.
Fantastic performance but the music leaves me cold :-/
Aravind Aravind what does this mean
chris It just does nothing for me. For example I love Medtner but some people are not touched by his music. I feel this way about Bowen. I find no connection to it.
Oh i see. Well, it is a toccata so it's not really supposed to "touch" you in that way
It sounds like Debussy lived until 2000s.
I don't hear the resemblance.
Tango Kaleidos Listen to his Pour le Piano especially the Toccata.
