I can never get enough of Haas’ music. I love his harmonic language! Those quintal/Tritons stacks are so pleasant to the ear. These are some of his most compelling melodies too
ignorant people dont need anything but cute tunes .people who go deeper and question meaning and how it can be conveyed into music just might very much want this music.I myself just love the sounds and orchestral combinations.The beginning 4 minutes are unforgettable.ask yourself what you want experience wise when you encounter new art and you will find you are the one wiith nada to say and even less of interest to others.never question what the experts and rest of the world says is valuable.question yourself :fool!
"Ignorant people?" I'm a music professor with 3 degrees, a composer, and I play 6 instruments. And I am saying outright, that this mans "music" is a heap of dung, to any serious composer or musician that invested years and decades learning counterpoint, melody, harmony, orchestration, and how to play and perform the works of the masters, as well as compose new music. I never hear this man's name mentioned in any discussion of music with any of my contemporaries and/or orchestra musicians and composers. That tells me right off, that he has a "cult" following. Though if you like this stuff, then that is your prerogative...Peace!
Very true! I think music should be remembered after listening. Unfortunately, because of "cults" who are on positions, we other composers are not considered. Positive side is that we have internet and possibilities to win over the public :)
@@GeraldWilhelmBradenComposer "I never hear this man's name mentioned"..? Well, this piece won the 2000 Unesco's Rostrum. Haas is definitely one of the most respected composers of our time. If his music isn't your cup of tea, then so be it.
A profoundly interesting, moving, and intelligent piece - though not for the faint of heart. Some of the more embarrassingly philistine comments here remind me of the complaints against modern art made as recently as the 1960s. Surely we have gotten beyond that by now? To be sure, we live in a malignantly reactionary age - so I should not be surprised that there are many who would like to repeal all of the twentieth century, its art, the New Deal, experimental music, its oddball poetry and novels (some of the latter written, alas, by yours truly). They will fail, as evil always does - though not before inflicting much damage along the way. The politics of music and art are sometimes no more edifying than the the politics of our shameless capital. Let those who have ears, hear, as someone said long ago, in another connection.
I've heard this piece at least 100 times. He may have something to say, but we've heard it all before. This is just more conventional anti-conventionality. It's old---the Darmstadt-ers were doing this 70 years ago.
nycym is right, this is purely darmstadtian although he does have a recognizable style. Still, I love this music, it is very well written. Among the innovative composers, there are some: John Adams seems to me quite unique, Lachenmann too in some ways, Yoshimatsu in a completely different one, Bent Sørensen wrote a handful of fantastic pieces, Hosokawa as well... I could mention many others. Recently discovered on Belanna's channel the young Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen, who has obviously something original to say in a post-Cagian/Lachenmannian vein..Among the older : Nørgård, Rautavaara, Sallinen... there are indeed innovative living composers, but History hasn't made its selection yet, thus we have to seek ourselves, that's what makes the whole thing interesting and "living".
Gilles Quentel I like Hass' music but I'm always on my journey for composers doing something I've never heard, creating sounds I've never experienced. It can and always will exist, just history makes some more aware then others!
To Gilles Quentel, infrantasi, and jaspermatchez, let's agree Mr. Haas' music is more than recognizable but perhaps even lovable, despite its Darmstadian conventional anti-conventionality claimed by you and nycsym. If Mr. Haas might be well served by SpinetWb's suggestion of more 'lawnmower concertos,' this compelling idea might be better suggested to his students, possibly all suffering from oral, aural and moral decay! What fascinates this listener is, more than the oft times hit or miss of this composer's efforts, his great faith as the most musical of the spectralists, the most human profound and vulnerable. His Violin Concerto compelled from the opening high dissonances, as provocative as Ligeti's, as moving as Sibelius'. Is it a stretch to have heard implications from the slow movement of Bach's E major concerto, of Berg's Concertos, and others this passionate artist and brilliant mind drew upon? It would be the greatest honor to have Georg Friedrich Haas as my dentist, even without anesthesia. Respectfully, Eduard Laurel
It is unusual in my UA-cam experience to find a whole bunch of negative comments at the beginning of the string for avante-garde recordings. Usually people who listen are people who are looking for such experiences, and others quickly find that the music is not to their taste and don't bother commenting. Is there some organized group trolling Haas?

Maybe you need to lower the volume. Haas has written some interesting pieces. Recently attended his opera "Bluthaus", a theatre visit I will gladly remember for a very long time.
Let's forget about the harmonic and melodic "vocabulary". People, don't you realize that this piece is nearly all long, messy chords in the orchestra with the violin playing any old note above them? PLEASE people, LISTEN!

We need MORE beautifull Music like THIS!

"The beginning 4 minutes are unforgettable" Can you specify how?

You're a joke !
I listened to your music!
retrograde, grimacing, and poorly done

big thanks for the upload!!
Ernst Kovacic is the soloist.
Great piece.
Mesmerising stuff.
Love to know the violinist?
Beautiful!
11:06 What an amazing moment
Quintessential Haas! Beauty isn't synonymous with cosy!

I feel like I'm sitting at the dentist listening to the drill come closer, then farther away. Oy vay es mir.
That's very cool interpretation!
last pizz is comical and funny
If Batman writed a violin concerto
like Mozart he has transparent feeling of Austrian!
who is the violin player?????
nice

But we do... we do...

Too true. What some of us need are better ear plugs.
You don't t have to listen to it.
How dare you, this guy is world famous.... :)
