Colin McPhee - Tabuh-Tabuhan (1/2)

I love this-so rich. When was this recording taken?

@Waldvogel91 I don't have the CD on hand, but it must have been recorded somewhere in the fifties.

Bless the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra and Howard Hanson for so many recordings of this repertoire, and much else.

Kind of very refreshing for the ears....

Thank you one more time for posting this beautiful piece. I played one of the piano parts in the Saint-Saens Third in school - I would like to play one of the piano parts in this to die happy.

The orchestral summit at about 3:40 of Feste Romane is the greatest thing in all music, sorry. But yes, this is a close second.

My apologies again, Mr. Bartje.

I will not trade this for the complete works of Mozart.

It is just too obscenely beautiful, it cannot even exist.

Thank you again for uploading.

Thank you so very much for posting this masterpiece ! I didn't know this (beautiful) version.

I just heard this piece in my East and West Arts class and it brought me to tears. This is a wonderful piece of music.

[Enantiodromialist]

Truly one of the great masterpieces - thank you very much for posting this.

An upload of Tabuh-Tabuhan, great! Was looking for this masterpiece here several times already. It's a very important visionary piece and really minimal music avant la lettre! It premiered in 1936 in Mexico City, decades before the name/label 'minimal music' was invented and this genre started to pave its way through the works of. a.o. Steve Reich (b.1936), Philip Glass (b. 1937) and John Adams (b. 1947). Food for thought isn't it?

And this shows again that the so-called minimal music has its roots in Balinese/Javan gamelan.

Louis Andriessen was the promoter of McPhee back in the seventies (together with Reinbert de Leeuw I think) (and George Antheil for that matter)
