Schoenberg Verklarte Nacht ( Transfigured Night ) Op. 4 Part 1

[ajb1776]

This is a must for those needing an intro to Schoenberg. Call it Schoenberg 101.

Yo-Yo Ma on cello? Do we know if he's first or second cello?

[saotomi5102]

@ArtD42 Haha, Yo-Yo Ma on second cello, haha. I'm just kidding. I figured he'd be on first.

[hugovdg]

@saotomi5102 let me guess: it is Yo Yo Ma overdubbing the Julliard (rearranged) 4-tet on two cellos. Why not? He had done something similar already, hand-sync-ing to himself on January 20, 2009, in Washington, DC, on the Inauguration Day

[saotomi5102]

@hugovdg Ummmm, so I can't determine your tone about your comment. yo-yo ma did that because the weather made keeping any instrument in tune difficult. All the musicians dubbed themselves.....

[hugovdg]

@saotomi5102 dear saotomi, no offence was intended, except towards yo yo ma, who wouldn’t care anyway. sure, the temperatures had plunged that day; so had some of the artistic standards (btw, not ALL the musicians did that: for aught i know, aretha franklin didn’t, her instrument warm under her hat). in retrospect, the fake “performance” that morning became sadly emblematic of the event, a portent. -- All of that having nothing to do with the 1899 uhm germanic masterpiece.

[puffthecat]

This is from the Sony recording of the Julliard String Quartet with Yo Yo Ma on Cello.

[Collagenre]

Thanks for syncing the score with this. :)

[ObrolKronckx]

Who is playing? Puffthecat, do you know the performers?

thx

One lone soul remains as of yet un-transfigured.

[NowMyPoundsHaveRunOu]

Germany's entry to the 1905 Eurovision Song Contest, it was nul point from the Sudetenland jury I'm afraid

[MsBregenz]

Good projects!

Could you add in musician information?

[BeauJames59]

It's an aural halluncinogenic.

[ChornyKlegg]

Legs & Co danced to this on Top of The Pops many times

[SunamiJane]

[krasnyploshad3]

[lovesGenet]

[justhavingmydinner]

I love trying to work out what's going on from the pictures

[KrasnyPloshadTwo]

go arnie! go arnie! go arnie!

[MusicaRicercata]

Wow, that first violinist's vibrato is damn near unbearable. Rather distracting, if you ask me.

[simonofhell]

@MusicaRicercata I think it adds to the haunted character of this piece

[shayanmokhtarani]

Wow, my favorite masterpiece of the late romanticism.

[Epogdous]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! =]]
