Krzysztof Penderecki - symphony no.3 (IV. Passacaglia. Allegro Moderato)

[Orchidoclastie]

Puissant!

[MrDoctorRocker]

3:38 is the most epic thing ever

[calico992]

I've been a huge K.P. fan for about a decade now. If anyone here is searching for similar music, I recommend The Machinist soundtrack, although less discordant, it bears to mind a lot of Penderecki's music, especially the third. I recommend starting with the piece 'Trevor's Lair' Go check it out!

[InakoOwns]

Brutal.

[dvader1138]

substance over the form.

[violiner2000]

Brilliant piece. Love Penderecki so much. 

[JokersGoldRoom]

This PIECE Lol of music set the atmosphere brillantly for a great film.

[Drunkenmo]

@nyc11104 I think you mean that it was the single most prolific century for music in human history.

[powersoftritone]

I want this to be the soundtrack to my life

[TruemotionOn]

woow...

[vk1970]

"Music is organized sound." Edgar Varese. I'm appalled by some of the comments posted here. I'm going to come right down on you... this composer is Polish, and his work shows it. Poland has been through more hell that most of my fellow Americans could ever conceive. Aristotle though that art should reflect life... and I agree.

[MusicInvestigation]

I wish all of the people who came here because of Shutter Island would also listen to the rest of the symphony. The work as a whole is so brilliant! It's great that people get exposed to this movement, from Shutter Island or not, but it's disappointing that this movement has SO MANY MORE VIEWS than the rest of the symphony. People are missing out.

[violiner2000]

@MusicInvestigation As well as his other stuff! "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" and "The Dream of Jacob" are absolutely amazing; "Threnody" is what got me into Penderecki. I am so glad so many other people appreciate and admire him.

[Brisbane09]

@quagdude that's expressionism,just look at Arnold Schoeneberger or Paul Hindemith - they composed in the same way xD

[WimpyPotato]

@quagdude You don't make sense.

[smit0932]

@quagdude your a deaf, dumb and blind kid! (do not play the pinball, could be lost by you!)

[javierleonenriquez]

@quagdude No, it´s not just a bunch of noises. It means "panic".

[MrDoctorRocker]

@quagdude whatchu talkin about. this is a frickin EPIC. you dont understand music then, to not recognize the awesomeness of this movement. o, and shutter island was AWESOME

[metalheadnick555]

I love when people talk about how they fall asleep to classical music. I dare you to fall asleep to this and have pleasant dreams

[TheDavid2222]

What a "beautiful" piece. I love it!

[656520]

Federico Ibarra : Sinfonía No. 2 (curious)

[TheDavid2222]

Oh Goody!! Some aggressive modern classical music! Just what I was looking for. lol

[neoplastik]

Excellent piece !!!

Have to say that Scorsese has used it, expecially at the beginning of his film Shutter Island, in a very forced way: the music overtop it ! It's a shame... Scorsese's not Kubrick :)

THX to His Majesty Penderecki !

[octavianmihailescu]

hahahaha, I love the comments on this one...

and about the song... yeah, it's a nice song :P

hahaha.

piece. only classically trained musicians would be able to understand the difference anyway ;) for all others, music = songs :D

[petraizzg]

this compositions is fucking awesome!!! I love it!!!! Krzysztof Penderecki has an awesome last name...

[witness124]

@nyc11104 What, you mean atonal/serilaistic? Hello no! I love this stuff. I'll point out that Mozart, sadly, does little to emotionally move me, however much skill and harmonic brilliance it contains. Wagner was the first person to usher in use of dissonance, and he's my favourite. And Penderecki absolutely terrifies me. I can't really say anything about pop music, but these compositions are IMMENSE.

[nelandquinten]

Which would be worse: to live as a monster or to die as a good man?

[SomeLittleShoe]

Jaws?

[JoeJeffersonPhillips]

@nyc11104 I do see your point, but I deliberately left out any composers who were overly dissonant in their composition. I dislike Penderecki and strongly dislike any compositions without recognisable tune or rhythm. I am by no means defending above video.

[JoeJeffersonPhillips]

@nyc11104 Stravinsky, Faure, Elgar, Mahler, Debussy, Delius, Strauss, Sibelius, Vaughan Williams, Rachmaninoff, Holst, Ravel, Bartok, Villa-Lobos, Martinu, Prokofiev, Douglas Moore, Ornstein, Gershwin, Poulenc, Walton, Shostakovich, Schumann, Britten, Lloyd, Bernstein, Sondheim, Lloyd Webber, John Williams, Karl Jenkins and Keith Jarrett don't ring any bells to you then?

[gekko434]

@nyc11104 agreed... I'll spread the word ^^

[TruemotionOn]

Sensual, terrorífico, obsesivo y enfermo.... con una mezcla de risa inofensiva... eso es esta obra de arte, sólo que... pareciera tener el control propio sobre mi

[GleeksGalore12]

Magnificent soundtrack a magnificent movie

[silentrocker33]

POLAND # 1

[gekko434]

@silentrocker33 nationalism is totally out of place in music

[silentrocker33]

@gekko434 YOUR STUPID FACE IS TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE IN MUSIC, YOU PUNK-ASS BITCH

[gekko434]

@silentrocker33 I assume your IQ is a one digit number?

[witness124]

@silentrocker33 RIGHT, AND WE'LL BE REALLY INTIMIDATED BECAUSE YOU'RE WRITING IN CAPITALS.

Get a life.

[silentrocker33]

@witness124 U MAD BRO

[witness124]

@silentrocker33 Yes, me mad, but me use verbs in sentence unlike you.

[EDGJZConglomerate]

Something wicked this way comes . . .

[EyeShotFirst1]

When I heard this in Shutter Island, I thought "NOW THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A SOUNDTRACK!!!"

[StathisQauid]

so epic so dark! when i heard it in shutter island today i immediatly knew that i had heard it before, right with the first chord, such an awesome piece of work!

[eldelalbornoz]

pero si la banda sonora es mazo tenebrosa y no pegaba nada con el principio de la peli xD yo me rei mazo

[damianlemanski]

Dziękuję panie Penderecki za tak genialną muzykę!

A Bogu dziękuję za obdarowanie Polaka takim geniuszem!

Cudo!

[Musiclver27]

shutter island had some stellar music. i loved the mahler's piano quartet as well and i liked how they actually mentioned it in the movie

[ColeteMartin]

Freakin awesome! i'm scared now........... O.o

[noonebelievesthatJON]

Yes. Its on Shutter Island ( at the begining, when Dicaprio and Ruffallo are approaching the Island. Glorious).

And its on Stanley Kubrik´s The shining.

EPIC.

[KRyPToNiTe1923]

hey whats the song that plays in shutter island during the scene where he has a flashback of all the dead frozen bodies??

[herzeleid7213]

Root of an Unfocus. I'm pretty sure of that, anyways.

[KRyPToNiTe1923]

@herzeleid7213 thanks im pretty sure thats the one but i remember some crazy breakdown part in the middle where it goes spastic but maybe i remembered wrong or they mixed it with another song?

[herzeleid7213]

No, I think the part you're talking about is in it.

[clmoser87]

@KRyPToNiTe1923 if its the piece I think you're talking about it's by Max Richter called "On the nature of daylight"

[ZeroZenZep]

@noonebelievesthatJON

It's not in The Shining. Kubrick's movie's from 1980 while the 3rd symphony was only completed in 1995. The Shining uses a lot of Penderecki's music though.

Btw, abolfazlraharian, could you precise what version of the piece is this, please?

[noonebelievesthatJON]

@ZeroZenZep Touché.

[jaralleras]

@noonebelievesthatJON this one is not on the shining...Penderecki's cello concerto is on the shining but this symphony wan't completed until 1993 or 94

[noonebelievesthatJON]

It is the fourth movement of the 3rd symphony by Penderecki (usually symphonies have four or five movements). It features on Shutter Island ( at the beginning, when Dicaprio and Ruffallo are reaching the island. Glorious.) and i think it was used on Kubrik´s "The shining". Not sure-

Fucking epic.

[MrAaa1989]

Is one of the songs from the soundtrack of the movie "Shutter Island" :D

[KentAllard]

except for the DUN DUN DUN, the horns and strings sound a lot like The Matrix score

[McGigi666]

@KentAllard - omg. where are u from?

[MrDestiny80]

Yes, I bet that guy ... Pendrecki copies this entire opus from that movie. What a rip off artist :p

[SorgenkindDesLebens]

Hey Guys, it's not a SONG it's a Piece. Or better: A single MOVEMENT from a symphony. Or did YOU hear anyone singing?

[woutsie]

did u......... NIGGER

[KentAllard]

go back to /b/

[54321diva]

@SorgenkindDesLebens lol... the last part of your comment is so funny. lol "did YOU hear anyone singing?" lol anyway... I agree

[bearfandan]

@SorgenkindDesLebens

It's pretentious douchebags like this one who turn people off of classical music.

[Vanguarde12]

@SorgenkindDesLebens

Before posting a comment, please ask yourself, "Is this pretentious?"

[philskinkins]

@Vanguarde12 nail on the head mate :)

[SilBacks]

One other comment, I love how film can enlighten these artists in different forms (in this case, music) I was otherwise unaware of. Truly the beauty of film, so enriching. On The Nature of Daylight is another gem worth listening too by Max Richter from this Shutter Island.

[SilBacks]

I'm not sure I've heard a song in a movie as distinctive since perhaps Jaws.

[bharrisongrandview]

i think it was the terminator im not sure but i think the part near the end is used in one of them

[Stevenio]

This song was perfect for Shutter Island.

[DolphinSweetie]

Can't agree more!

[dearyou1994]

@Stevenio This "song " was BETTER than Shutter Island

[chartesq]

i meant labyrinth!

[chartesq]

gives me chills! Martin Scorcese used this for part of the score for Shutter Island. The book was incredible and explores the labrynthe of our fragile eggshell minds.

[johnnyaught]

that's what got me here...very cinematic.

[garbagelasagna]

@chartesq The novel seems a LOT like an old Prisoner episode to me.

[KentAllard]

I didn't like his use of non original music, I'd hear Max Richter or Brian Eno and the rest and think "oh thats..." and suddenly be ripped out of the movie going experience

[DSFARGEG00]

I see you on /tv/, anon.

[thatsrightisaidit909]

@chartesq

Chills and thrills. This is beautiful and perfect for setting the atmosphere for something like Shutter Island.

By the way, loved the way you described our minds as fragile eggshells. Made me think and made me smirk.

[chartesq]

alas, you know i can't take credit for fragile eggshell minds. that's jim, the lizard king. am thinking of going to out to the closed asylum where they filmed this in medfield this afternoon and then go see the movie. we used to go there sun. nites for swim team and it was hugely creepy then,, can't imagine what it's like now.....chills and thrills!

[Vik945]

grandioso!!!!!!!!
