Boulez: Notation II / Boulez · Berliner Philharmoniker

[liug2012]

sounds like a factory

[AfroDeezeeYak]

I wish Boulez wrote more works for symphonic orchestra...such a gifted orchestrator (among other things)

[lucatancredi]

Quanto ho amato questo brano.. come ha cambiato la mia vita????

[kyvcbs]

ベルリン・フィルによる、ブレーズの自作自演にめぐり会えて驚き­です。

聴き応えのあるテクニックとサウンドに満ち溢れたこの演奏は、こ­の曲のポテンシ

ャルを真に引き出していると云えるでしょう。

「ノタシオン」。全曲アップを希望します！！



[DuduKorg]

Boulez seems reading an old parchment, or a hieroglyph

[SchwarzeDose21]

i think this is one of the hardest pieces ever written for orchestras, right?

[changjiang001]

one of the greatest living composers and conductors!

[zsinet3]

A gust of fresh air! The Berlin Philharmonic sounds great. The orchestration is magnificent...

[S3edmonk]

niceness

[Bagas]

Wow, really in your face type

[JeeRant]

I love the dichotomy between the frail old man, serenely beating time, and the savage, dissonant music unfolding before him.

[physphilmusic]

The thing I like about these videos is that they show the most exciting part of a piece, such that it draws attention and makes me want to listen to the rest of it, even to a more modern piece like this Boulez work. Although it might seem like instant gratification, arguably it has also stirred many minds to listening to pieces of music they have never even known of before.

[classicalmusic6]

Maybe someday I will understand Boulez's music more. Hes a genius though.

[musicnerdy]

i don't know boulez much, but love this piece full of energy.

[Icewalker]

I love this piece to death. I also love that no individual note is really legible in that score unless you have a magnifying glass on hand :P

[muslit]

Sooooo glad Modernism is over.

[thetheatreofmadness]

@muslit

bitch.

[rycsu84]

Thank you so much for posting this! It is so refreshing to hear a work like this performed so well. I especially enjoyed the warm audience reaction at the end of the video. It's a shame music like this is not appreciated in the US.

[raticida123456]

soooo hard

[qwe07]

Wow! I love it!

[raticida123456]

HORRIBLE

[JSLLH]

such incredibly beautiful music ! i love boulez ! thank you for this excellent video !

[labouboulkikol]

beeeeeerk!!!

Comment peut on s'estaxier devant ce truc?

[122009marcia]

beurk et re-beurk!!!!! mal au crane!!!!!

[Trezzi13]

Ma-ra-vi-lho-so! Belíssima performance! Essa peça é referencial no repertório da música atual! Bravo!!

[tim23z]

Give me the Romantics any day. They can keep this contemporary period stuff, anyway.

[MjoEm32]

@tim23z Seriously - why write that? Your choice, but why come on here and bitch about it... I think it's great, anyway.

[virtuosomusician]

Wow. That's a huge score....

I can't seem to find the beauty in New Complexity music.

[Ericstlaurent]

wow ! the sound and picture quality are amazing.

The performance is the hammer.

Thank you so much

[abdominizer]

Great! Thanks for posting this amazing performance!

[depaznacho]

Wonderful performance! ...But this is not the PIECE number VII (as announced in the video), this is the Piece number II (which is usually played as the last piece of the cycle of "Notations")

[BerlinPhil]

Very true (and very embarrassing for us). We will at least change this in the YouTube information.

[PriestAlfred]

@depaznacho You know what you have to do then. if you help them to correct their errors, ask the berliners for an invitation to conduct them :)

[robotluvr]

This does not float my boat... =\ I'll stick to Brahms and Bruckner.

[wbarco]

gah. want to see this so badly.

[yuehchopin]

es geht nur, wirklich!

[bassoonguy240]

cool, they are using a contra forte!

[Susannekaffeekanne]

Ah! Hammer! Horn Fünffach besetzt :) Tolltolltoll!!!

[Susannekaffeekanne]

Ein Hoch auf die Riesenpartitur! :D

[marcolopolis55]

Sounds like a bunch of clocks all malfunctioning at once.

[RAMIRO3]

MIERDA! que loquera es esta???!!! OMG!!

Jajaja pinga de score....

[TimeSignatureManiaq]

There must have been at least 3 or 5 different time signatures in just that 2 minute segment.

[trunks2861]

yup

[SpottyDorsord]

Wow, that's huge. Certainly gave 'em a task.

[Orpheus1356]
