Penderecki - Capriccio per oboe e orchestra

[SixSickSixOfficial]

Why aren't there more than 5 stars!

[geberotisabi]

seslerle ilgili beğenmediğim şey sonlardaki multifonik kullanımı, böyle bir müziğe pek kaynaşmadığını düşünüyorum. üstelik çok ufak bir kesitte kullanıyor, o kısım fazlaca sivrilmiş pek hoş değil.

Kompozisyonu iyi, güzel kurgu. Sonu staccato ile bitmeseydi havada kalsaydı çok daha dramatik bir etki olabilirdi, ama Penderecki bu, ufaktan piyasası var adamın=)

çalan arkadaş harika bir obuacı, kuşkusuz.

[cantseetheforest]

Great performance...the actual title is Capriccio for oboe and eleven strings. Who are the performers, please???

[Mazurka1001]

Jarringly annoying.

[GorgeousGeorge108]

WOW!! 10 out of 10 to Penderecki for an amazing piece of music. Only 3 out of 10 for the poster for not including artist details... :(

[GRINDFASTER]

Beauty-absurd desconstruction. Very special music.

[fredxavier85]

Penderecki is the master of contemporary.

[jamiebonline]

i like this little wild one :) thanks for posting

[peppersax]

Penderecki was EPIC!

[DevilsInstrument]

@peppersax Was? He's still alive...

@ChaoticDicken

Hey dude, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if their opinion is a senseless, and terribly thought out one (yours)

If you can find me a person that gets any sort of constructive benefit from this, so can you blame me when i call anyone who enjoys this a mutated non entity of a human being? 

[hautboisjj]

check out holliger's recording, also available on youtube!

[mcmolgog]

those quavers are killers for tonguing! this piece is certainly odd, but i think its brilliant, in its utter randomness!

[sergiudrummer]

It feels like a metro station, Great one, you have to be a bit crazy to understand and like this. but i like it ...

[OboeplayerZ]

To the people who comment against this musical piece: WHY ARE YOU EVEN WATCHING IT THEN? There's this thing, called an exit button, at the top of your screen.....

[loofascraper]

Reasonable people: "this sucks"

Stupid idiots: "IT'S A WAY OF EXPRESSION, IT'S BEYOND YOUR INTELLIGENCE, YOU JUST DON'T GET IT."

[CaveShinobi]

@loofascraper I second that.

[ctimur]

well, music is an expression, not a satisfying object for audience any more, yes, not any more. and this is how penderecki expresses (actually expressed) himself.

[AFOSTEPEYO2]

WOW K CHIDO SALU2

[sirmustapha]

My mind is completely blown. I know and appreciate some 20th century classical, but it's not often that it sounds as exciting and full of surprises like this. It's brilliant.

[beto84jazz]

Great piece and awesome interpretation. Somebody can tell me, who the oboist is?

[LouiePlaysDrums]

@beto84jazz The oboist is Mariusz Pedzialek. This is from a DVD called "Penderecki Conducts Penderecki". This is the only piece in the program which Penderecki doesn't conduct.

[ballinouttacontrol74]

It's gotta suck to turn music sheet pages when you're in the middle of playing.

[Chelloboe75]

Me encanta su forma de tocar los glissandos de la mano izquierda y su manera de hacer esa especie de flulato en notas tan graves como el Bb o el Eb; realmente, un muy buen oboísta, poruqe no cualquiera toca e interpreta esta pieza, y no solo eso, sino que también entender lo que el compositor busca.

[AnAmericanComposer]

This cracks me up as a composer; the oboe (my favorite instrument) WoooOOOooOOOOoooOOOoooOOOooOWW its hilarious the glissando! The oboe is so monotone and angry

[Bernhardification]

Dagegen is AC/DC a lauwormes Schaslüfterl

[mroboe921]

@Bernhardification Des is richtig. Thihihihi XD

[SonaMertarchyan]

Terrible!!!

: /

[SlvrHrt]

I'm not going to lie, as an oboe player, I am not impressed with this piece. I mean, I am impressed with the player's technical capability to play it, and I can understand some of the theory and thought behind it, but one of the reasons I love oboe and play it is for its emotional tone quality and lyrical ability. And the player has moments where you can tell that he is really good in those things. I also agree with laqerhill about the bassist.

[luoboeguy]

@SlvrHrt I'm not going to lie. As an oboe player, I love this piece.

[SlvrHrt]

@luoboeguy To each their own, I suppose.

[AnAmericanComposer]

@luoboeguy I'm not going to lie. As a saxophonist and pianist (and composer) this song is totally freaking awesome! What's great about it is that it sounds like Penderecki took a Blow-Pen and just aimed it at the paper, and hoped it came out ok, lol

[eoifemacbeth]

@AnAmericanComposer And the best part is, IT TOTALLY CAME OUT AWESOME.

[markmando333]

cool dude..i like it

[TheGreekMan90]

...

[mansittingherenow]

This got stuck in my head like a pop song... )))

[japanesesweet]

simple but effective-his music has gone all stodgy recently?

[f15r18]

Real artist don't do their work to please the world, and this is a good example. 5*

[fezangry]

that doesnt make any sense, vandals could do it for fun, for spite, or maybe its just you thats considering what they do vandalism

[shilohphoenix]

@Oct2Poof Calling penderecki a musical vandal completely invalidates any opinion you could possibly have.

[mobscene9305]

@f15r18 I must disagree with your comment. If only the composer can feel connected to the piece of music, then his "art" is useless. But, I do like this piece and Penderecki's work very much.

[mod07]

@f15r18 but he pleased me very erll!

[pacheks]

this is actually very hard to comprehend and maybe too chaotic, but once you hear it and understand the complexity and balance, maybe until then you`ll be able to like it

i like it, but i dont love it

[dead2disguise]

it's Penderecki what do you expect!! i love his work, this piece is just awesome

[nepalnt21]

if this is garbage, why does it have 76,000 views? and why have i listened to it maybe 10 times? you dont have to like it, but to call it GARBAGE??? someone else's art???? i dont get it...

[razorman916]

Is there any theory behind the notes? Was there any system to writing this because if it's just a bunch of random crap then I'm not impressed.

[4000quails]

How could you say it's a "bunch of random crap?" It's fairly obvious that it was thoroughly composed -- there's even a breakdown halfway through the piece. He was a heavy user of serialism, too. And even if there weren't any system, melody, or underlying theme it doesn't matter because it still sounds emotional. Music shouldn't be a play in how one should write around a bunch of traditions, that's dumb.

[Algeneral1993]

No comment !!!!!!1

[Agaa91]

masakra ...

[laqerhill]

ok so here's my breakdown of this piece:

1) there's a jazz bassist who came to the wrong stage

2) the oboist is like "hey dudes check out my skillz"

3) the strings are so taken aback by the oboist's obvious skillz that they misread the music drastically to the point where they even forget what part of the instrument to bow

all in all, I love it 5/5

[Ltlevim]

GREATEST COMMENT EVER!!!

[CodyRicheson]

@laqerhill, glad you love it but you seem to have a poor idea of the approach to avant garde arrangements.

[gabrielkrios]

@laqerhill And here's mine:

1) a capriccio (or any other classical form) for an instrument is meant to highlight that instrument and be accompanied by the orchestra; this is not a rock or pop show where some musicians like to supress the others, get some pseudo status, girls and money after a huge guitar solo;

2) before writing, you should know what you are talking about; listen carefully to Stravinsky, read the Dadaist and Futurism manifests and, therefore, learn about modern vanguards;

[gabrielkrios]

@laqerhill 3) there's a deep formation behind (and within) the chaos of modernist poetry and music; these musicians know exactly what are they doing, as Penderecki knows his art.

[elliedwa]

@gabrielkrios You have misunderstood me. My comment from a year ago is nothing more than a joke. I love Penderecki--once in my life I hope to have the opportunity to either perform in an orchestra or at least hear live his St. Luke Passion--and I fully understand and appreciate his use of all the sounds you can get out of that kind of small string ensemble. However, I must stand by my comment that the bassist's part is remarkably jazz-inspired.

[elliedwa]

@gabrielkrios I have read the manifestos for the Dada and Futurist movements--while they do reflect the same kind of avant-garde aesthetic that Penderecki manifests in his music, those artistic styles, particularly Dada, had their own radical music which is shocking in a different way than this. They both wanted to move music away from the formal structures that pervaded romanticism and even more traditional moderism (Stravinsky, etc.)

[gabrielkrios]

@elliedwa You're absolutely right - my comment from 2 weeks ago is nothing more than a reminder and a suggestion for those who don't know the avant-garde (for those, in other hand, who try to judge it with neoclassical or pop parameters).

[By the way, I think UBUWEB has a huge collection of futurist and dada musics/sounds/howls, along with old declamations, interviews etc.]

Thanks by the surprising answer, ellie... it's a pity that kind of discussion appears so rarely, and in virtual ways.

[paisasmith]

fuck this is like venetian snares... o mas bien venetian snares es como esta loquera

[Northside777]

Wonderful. (As in full of sonic wonders.) Imaginative music. In balance, contrasts, textures, form and forward momentum, it fulfills the requirements of a great piece of music.

[HiTechSoul]

how could you ask if this is music or not? I would love to hear your definition.

[mariuscipolla]

This is so exciting, it makes my heart race. Is it music? Of course, it's thrilling music!

[Mazarbul]

The ultimate question here is: Is it still music?

[LOLLYPOPPE]

Yes this is music. I think it is scary as hell.

Close your eyes, turn off the light, turn this on volume 100% and pretend you are in a room full of zombies.

[owen4510]

i cant do that, id totally kick too much ass and my mom would get mad

[Ylvaon]

No, of course note, only Mozart and Bach are music, contemporary authors are not composers in any right :)

[Ylvaon]

Noticing sarcasm is not too common on YT, apparently... :)

[C0NTR4B455]

Brilliant!! Amazing to see it as well...

[Quadrupelfuge]

super =)

[upatoia]

If you like PENDERECKI, check his opera DIE TEUFEL VON LOUDON + 50 other operas by 50 other composers in my play list 20th CENTURY OPERA ( including the world premiere of ARIA DEL CIRUJANO from Opera Opus Operatorum by Roberto Rius & Pedro Ipuche Riva )

[Yoavmw]

Is it Viennese Oboe?

The Strings are so good

[Teladian]

No, this is a modern Triemme system oboe.

You can tell because a Viennese oboe has a large bulb on the top that is flat at the very top where the reed goes. This one has the smaller modern design next to the reed.. It would be easier to do those slides on a Viennese oboe because the keys are open like a clarinet, but he does a very good job with those as that is be far one of the most difficult things to do well on oboe.

[Yoavmw]

Well, as far as I can tell there IS a large bulb at the top. But you sound like an expert. :)

I'm an oboist too. I play on Rigoutat.

[tmacblue02]

this sounds just like the soundtrack to There will be Blood, which PTA mentioned he listened to while he wrote it.

[Necrobutcher14]

ja pierdole co to ma byc?ten Penderecki chyba najebany był:-|

[iWyke2]

funky bass line, i like it

[friendlyherbivore]

sure, its creative... but that doesn't mean it sounds very good...

[fugue10]

Wow. This is just fantastic! I love it!

[capnpayne]

*plugs fingers in ears* WHAT IS THIS OUTER SPACE MUSIC, WHERE ARE MY MAJOR SCALES *writes angry comments on youtube*

[krishotsaucemiller]

Oh God... Just when you thought free form jazz was bad!!!!

[Cordaleth]

Fantastyczne umiejętności grających... Gigantyczna wyobraźnia kompozytora... Ale szkoda, że muzyki w tym nie ma. : /

[Necrobutcher14]

cala tworczosc nadaje sie jedynie do podtarcia dupy... na pewno nie do słuchania

[kamcioo19]

Nie prawda, mnie utwory Pendereckiego służą do słuchania :-) Jego twórczość jest genialna! Te utwory takie mroczne, dziwne, tajemniczewypełnione jakby jakimiś niepokojami. A ten utwór i Hiroszime uwielbiam najbardziej z twórczości Pendereckiego :-)

[poliglotka2]

Dobrze powiedziane xD Jest to może ciekawy eksperyment, ale żadnego piękna w tym nie znajduję :P

[RodrigusVI]

Amazing music... totally outstanding performance too. Really a beautiful piece of music.

[MarioNess]

not good.

[proximitypi]

Wow... just, wow. I fully get expected to get voted down for this, but this is /terrible/. The technical skill of all the players involved is obviously of a great caliber, but that can't make this... auditory travesty any better. Even under the loosest of definitions, this would have a hard time being considered music, saved only by the fact that it's written down on paper. This is the musical equivalent of throwing rocks at a pane of glass and calling it art.

[mothershipjellyfish]

It's far more delicate than that. The texture is incredibly light. Under your simile, it's the "shards of glass" that make this piece interesting.

[kamcioo19]

Krzysztof Penderecki jest genialnym kompozytorem, jego utwory sa naprawde świetne i..... dziwne :-)

Podoba mi się w nich ta swego rodzaju tajemniczość i ekscentryczność

Pozdrawiam :-)

[frankalexyepez]

dioss q es esoo valee ?

[vladd001]

crap!!!!!

[iIIwiIl01]

is this from like a comedy movie?

[SphericSenseS]

that was delightful!

[vladd001]

crap!!!!!

[MomSaysImCool]

Haha, don't tick off modern music fans.

[happyoboeplayer]

great oboe playing, utmost respect

[mhofkp]

i'm no expert, but it think that this comes as close to bridging music and emotion into one form. i came to knoe penderecki through the movie "heavy metal". it was a novella that was deleted from the theatrical release, and included on a special edition. but i'm no stanger to auvent garde music i.e. cale, glass, branca... and thas the class that i place him in...in other words, god-like.

[kassad84]

It's sounds like Squidward playing his clarinet

[kiltaddict]

As an oboist... I really have to give this guy credit. I don't even know if I could EVER play this, no matter how long I played oboe for and practiced....

[ScrappyMagoo]

at 3:04 you can hear his right index key getting sticky from the humidity of playing so long and fast, i'm just glad there isn't a key for the right thumb.

[Hypocrite333]

How the fuck does the sheet music for that piece look like?

[PatrickBateman930]

it doesn't look like sheet music.

thats what it looks like rofl. i saw the score i was like WTF!?!?!?!111

[Hypocrite333]

Really? Can one have a look at it anywhere?

I compose music myself, but I barely can imagine how THIS... lets call it sonic happenings, can get transferred to an orchestral score...

[hexatonico]

Que pieza increible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aunque no me gustan las comparaciones, me parece que supera ampliamente a la sequenza para oboe de berio, pero tiene la mitad de fama que aquella pieza

[saintpaj191]

O dear lord I hope I never have to play this...

It gives you quite the hunch apparently.

[franciscocio]

Doble-Trino+frurato+multifónic­o!

[antoniocarcavilla]

This is not art, this is a offense to my ears!

ridiculous, a waste of time play this. and hear too, I'm wasting my time.

[principalbass]

Here's a thought then: stop wasting your fucking time finding it, listening to it, then complaining about it. Your comments are an offense to my eyes, if you don't like it, DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT. Dick.

[principalbass]

@miguelastor1 I posted that two years ago. Get with the times, moron.

[miguelastor1]

@principalbass alguien te lo tenía que decir en la cara, algún día pedazo de bolsa. ¿Eso fue lo que te dio la cabeza o la cosa esa que crees que es una cabeza?

"moron" tu madre.

[principalbass]

@miguelastor1 No speako Dago.

[TheReactorSings]

World-famous prize-winning professional composer - 0

Some internet guy - 1

[Gitarpunk]

Fuck you this is more interesting art than most other composers make.

[Alwaystuned]

Thank you. Penderecki was going against convention. This is art. Great art.

[fortune32]

Then I might aswell bring in a truck, and let the engine run, that would be against convention, thus great art.

[Alwaystuned]

It may be great art. Who knows. Great art is all opinion anyway! Right?

[fortune32]

Dude, who knows what art is, pffff... It's one of those questions...

[radiev2707]

His name is Mariusz Pędziałek

I like this piece

[BlueCougar]

It's amazing how Penderecki uses all those things that were deemed impossible or hideously difficult on the oboe: Flutter tongue, glissandi over large intervals (A walk in the park for a clarinettist, but a pain on the oboe)...

[Adrian7462]

I would like for someone to explain to me how anyone can like this. It sounds messier than a group of musicians preforming separate atonal pieces at the same time ._.

[kenrubes]

Hi Adrian..well the descriptor "messier" is definitely up for debate. I will say it's an immensely complex undertaking to compose something that ultimately sounds atonal and "messy". Personally, I think Penderecki is our greatest living composer.

[subby33]

It is atonal and messy, but it does have amazing tension. I wouldn't listen to it everyday but I can appreciate it.

[iluvsystemofadown]

idk i love this piece its so cool! and unexpecting =]

[calderwis]

I expected the Mission Impossible theme to start!

[sparebone]

This would make brilliant film music. For music where Donald Sutherland could be in the film. Like a film I forgot the name to where the dwarf woman stabs him in the end. It definitely has a similar sound the X files theme when they pluck the strings at 2:00 minutes and at 5:00 minutes in the piece, I even find it is the chromatic upward sound which produces such a chill. Also at the moment of 6:50 it sounds very hitchcockish and Jaws. This is due to staccato movements with cello and violin,bril

[Frowned]

Don't Look Now is definately Penderecki material. Both Penderecki's compositions and that movie are incredibly and delightfully disturbing.

[auF0]

from which year is this piece?

[DannyDaWriter]

1965, I believe.

[pirokitsune]

not something you should listen to at nearly 1 am when every one is alseep and your windows wide open to a dark country back yard full of junk and cars.

he realy sets the mood. Good Job ._.;;;

[GreggaryPeccary]

HAHA

[altonoir]

at least Penderecki is not using that damned three ascending and descending chromatic sequence...wsshhh...lol

[Privatejoker88]

Like the music you hear when you're having a nightmare.

[jhonwica]

variaciones con el sonido del re.... interessante, pero como se dice... ai posteri l'ardua sentenza

[juanitooviedo]

Very very Impresionant............

[alee19901218]

bad perform

[jolythefreeman]

I think this is the most ridicolous piece of music ever written

sincerly, I have laughed all the time while I saw it LOL

[ccXoboe]

too bad he doesn't have a higher stand or someone to flip his music page, haha.

at some point I can't tell wether the squeaks were intentional, but otherwise, excellent job. I couldn't see myself playing this piece though, too odd for me. xD

I prefer the more original pieces without the beeping and randomness. Great job anyway, though!

[Cizcan]

With Penderecki, the chaos is usually intentional.

[ccXoboe]

I figured that, it works for him though.

[percevallemyope8]

Just impressionant !!

[Cizcan]

Does anyone know of any other composers that made dark music like this?

[mikolajoskierko]

Wojciech Kilar, he makes rather movie soundtracks, but i just felt in love with his polonaise from "Pan Tadeusz" (not dark, but powerfull as hell).

I`m sure you`ll like his music from "Dracula" ;)

[altonoir]

check out Ligeti...you will love his "string quartets"...however I think they are better constructed!...lol...oh! they are on Itunes...The Hagen Quartet does a great job!...

[JeeRant]

This music must be incredibly fun to play.

[and43s]

Valla creatividad de Penderecki, me impresiona las semi fusas que llega a lograr el oboista, que calidad de ataque tiene este oboista.

[Cizcan]

Is Penderecki still alive?

[ClownMouse]

yo yo bar

[ThaSchwab]

Yes, he is.

[asiunia300]

Świetne wykonanie.!

Podziwiam Pendereckiego za jego kompozycje.

Oboista - świtna technika

Gratuluje.

[Manofdeepwisdom]

Przepraszam z góry za dosadność sądu, ale jest to totalna kakofonia i nawet bym tego twórczością nie nazwał, ponieważ jest to poślednia muzyka udająca wysublimowaną i oryginalną. Oczywiście każdemu się może podobać co innego, ale denerwuje mnie sam Penderecki, który ma się za wielkiego kompozytora, a do pięt nie dorównuje naprawdę wybitnym artystom - brak klimatu, brak duszy.

[claudiogoldman]

Boring music for boring people.

[CWBush73]

Hmm, appreciate his work in horror films but he seems to be hung up, or limited to that. DOesn'the doanything else? H ewill always have The Shining. People wern't in the audience to heart this, were they?

[misterfervent]

@CWBush73

[cmk3001]

Wicked piece! That oboe player is a machine! Penderecki is a great composer, whether writing in an avant-garde or neo-romantic style.

[iluvsystemofadown]

i would of liked it tyvm

[revoltz7]

haha, pretty damn bad to tell you the truth. Actually its awful.

Had this been written by an unknown you wouldn't 'like' it.

[tubafatness]

I would've liked it...

[revoltz7]

bullshit this is music of the culture-snobs. Drop the name penderecki at a party and you might impress a few people, but you're not fooling me!

[tubafatness]

So, you've automatically become the ultimate judge of other people's musical tastes? I like Penderecki's work, but I also like "unknown" composers. There's too many good composers out there to like, and not enough fame to go around.

[revoltz7]

There's too many to hate, and not enough scorn to go around.

[earstroke]

can you please give me the names of these unknowns? i want to know more.

pce

[MarioNess]

I have to agree with you, most of the people just name this composer to impress, without even listening.

It is a good work, but not that impressive.
