Spinosi: "Battalia", Heinrich Ignaz von Biber; live 2000

[nisanus]

Warum posen diese jüngeren Musici immer so?! Das reduziert diese gute Sache immer etwas auf evangelische Hobbyband. Bitte Abgewöhnen.

[vicentico64]

wow.... incredible dissonances!!! Love it

[tdavs43]

Only 250 years ahead of his time, what's the big deal?!

[vrdesk]

Love the faces!1

[Bach261]

Dupání je bouchání a absurdní.....hmmm....po pár taktech na začátku jsem se trochu zděsil : ) No, dobrý zážitek

[mxr255]

love it. It is like Bach meets Ives. Biber was a little crazy and ahead of his time. This is a great performance.

[peteacher52]

A superb interpretation. This is a 17th century piece of programmatic music, intended to portray the tension, confusion, noise and uneasy aftermath of war, hence its title. The strange dissonances and unconventional use of the bows are all part of it, some of the many devices which made Biber an original and creative composer.

[JazzY9417]

Awesome performance, gives me some great ideas about how to perform it with my high school chamber ensemble.

@kaikobird i think the opposite, by the way (of course if you didn't know it) in baroque music like this, the composer ask for certain this like stom or blow with archs, moreover, there's one indication 'con legno', it means blow with arch, and just one last thing...it seems you don't have a musical sense, because if you have, this like this give more character, rythm & movement to this kind of music - -'

people got high on out-of-date rye bread back then unintentionally.

Biber is wonderful, crazy and lots of fun. His Rosenkrantz sonatas are amazing.

[kenny888stsk]

mind blowing.

[frederickgauss]

historicistas...

[stktrd]

really fun to watch, in addition to being a treat for the ears

[principae122]

Amazing!!!!

[Hailstormand]

Hmm... Interesting @ 1:50. And they say atonality began in the 20th century.

[fynnjamin]

a more relaxed tempo than most. But this music is meant to be fun! it looks like they're taking it too seriously - except maybe the leader

[ianwhitman]

What a wonderful performance!  Love it.

[Epogdous]

1:50 There are eight different parts playing simultaneously, in different key signatures and time signatures. Each part plays a different folk song representing a different part of Europe. They are meant to clash; this represents the views of the various groups... 17th century Ives!!! =]]

[Snaporaz87]

I adore Biber. Thank you for this video

[celloguy]

Fantastic piece!

[Archive1364]

thier tune sounds higher than what my orchestra plays

[evilnachos]

Great piece, i think Biber was high when he wrote this

[MarcusHolly]

@evilnachos ALL his music is stoner stuff.

[PIPZZZ02]

Musicians=magicians.

Completely marvellous.

[XrandomXemoXkidX]

[anonimoalfin]

WOOOW! Great performance, thanks a lot for posting it, I love this version, full of life! Like it all ( 1:50 great ) and find specially touching the slow episodes ( like 5:24 )

THANKS AGAIN! =)
