Its so hard to play the viola and to master vibrato can just bewilder someone's mind thats how hard us viola players work so its just rude to say its boring.
@bu1letpr00f heh, well said, some ,,viola sibelius'' would do it :-D everyone, argue if you please, but this just sounds everything but beautiful...the perfomer's good, but the music...
@judzineck Is it the role of music to always be beautiful? I'd suggest that to think so is pretty short-sighted. I love "Check the Rhime" by Tribe Called Quest... is it beautiful? Absolutely not. I think Testament completely rocks... does their music contain much beauty? NO. Similarly, I don't find this piece beautiful, but it's pretty nifty regardless.
@GBADCD: Spoken like a true misogynistic, motherless caveman. Like Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini, Ravel, Shostakovich, Schnittke etc. all had their unreasonably bittered haters and detractors, so shall you Gubaidulina, a living legend, have yours. Makes one stop and wonder, why some understand this language and others get frustrated at their inability to do so. I don't like Schonberg, but I don't feel the need to lash out in anger & vitriol at that which I don't understand. C'est la vie.
amazing work ... everything she does is brilliant ... hard to believe that she was writing this in kazakhstan ... like rest of her work ... esp music for bassoon and bashmat's performance is very powerful ... i was just wondering how this concerto would sound with boulez [and bashmat] ... just curious.
This is amazing! The music is so strange and surreal but beautiful too. To me it is the noise of emotions stirring and reflexes working in a very dream-like wilderness... Sorry if that sounds odd, its just that the music is so sharp and abstract but completely glorious! Parts of it sound so frantic...I wonder what the music is about, or what the idea was when it was written...Also, these guys are TALENTED. Their concentration, precision and passion never cease to amaze.
Horrible??? no es musica que antes de escuchar se tiene que estudiar y pide al público una atención diferente. Pero sobre gustos,,, aunque eso si el gusto se educa.
"On the initial performance of a new musical composition, the first impression of the public is generally one of reaction to the more superficial elements of it music, that is to say, to its external manifestations rather than to its inner contentoften it is not until years after, when the means of expression have finally surrendered all their secrets, that the real inner emotion of the music becomes apparent to the listener." -Ravel
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
idk... doesnt sound that great to me, very little show of notes; sounds like chicken scratch. hell even a 10-year old with no musical value can compose this.
Sofia Gubaidulina is, I would say the single most important classical composer of the 21st centuary (besides maybe John Williams) look up some more of her music and I'm sure you'd be pleased.
Maxim venegrov and Vanessa Mae are both excellent violinists, however are both entirely diffrent in style (as is Gubaidulina and Williams as composers) I suppose it depends on personal preferance. :)
Try to be open-minded when you listen to other artists :) so she is not a traditional classical violinist. does that mean she is not talented? it only means certain people have a diffrent taste in music than you.
No no, she is technically inferior. Technique has nothing to do with "opinion". For example, I don't like Maxim Vengerov, but I didn't argue against him being an excellent violinist because I understand that he is great player and that if you like him that's your opinion. But Mae is a different story. She is no where near the technical level of Maxim or the vast majority of today's concert violinists. There is not a single classical recording she has made that is exceptional. She's just not good
It's preposterous to pair up Gubaidulina with the likes of williams, I know you tried to make an apologetical argument, but couldn't you use any other composer? take Arvo Pärt for instance.
He has one for Violin, one for Clarinet, and one for bassoon, and I assure you, they are a. nothing like his movie music, and b. phenomenal. Knowing those concertos, I can imagine comparing him with Gubaidulina. If you only know his movie music, no. He has two distinct sides, though.
Looks like he's trying to end up sul ponticello .. which is that sound in l'hiver Vivaldi. I've noticed it's easier to achive on some instruments over others. You have to get real near the bridge and maybe a little on top of it sometimes. Spine tingling, no? The end is not the only place in the piece he "went there."
Bashmet is wonderful, and so Is Kam ... You should hear Kam play the Bartok! You're only 14? You look so much older. Perhaps in a few years we will hear you play it as well?
yes i am only 14, and even i wouldn't resort to nyah nyah n nyah nyah you can't play it as well in a supposedly reasoned debate. If I could - I wouldn't be conversing with the likes of you would I?
"Bless you , my son." he said for all the world looking like a humble monk in brown frock and sandals bowing slightly from the waist and marking the sign of peace.
I was surprised to find so much negative notes about the pieces modern sound since, to me, it sounds rather traditional, but it might be that haters of modern music already know the most notorious modernists and avoid them but aren't aware of Gubaidulina.
I find the recurring string theme very pleasant and easy to compherend, like the objective surroundings such as buildings, nature etc., of a person and his thoughts, the viola solo, which is more subjective and ambigous in nature.
i wish i knew!!!! all i know is that they are not gut and the c, g are have red silk, but the d,a have yellow/orange....but i spose u probs already knew that lol.
lol, yeah. I think the C and G are either Thomastik Spirocore, or Red label... the colour for D and A suggest the Chorda pirastro gut string, but they look metal wound...
although he said he doesn't use gut on one of his interviews (apperently gut strings cannot carry the viola sound enough over the top of an orchestra) but...i use pirastro passione strings (which are gut)....the c, g and d sound so much like his strings its untrue!
I have no trouble believing the composer when she said she always lives in pain. This is truly painful sound from a tortured mind. Of course, if the listener is out of touch with his emotions, he can get off on the music and never recognize the pain -- which might be a good working definition of masochism.
I really do not care for this. For one, it doesn't sound good at all, not the players but the composition. And two, it does not show the Violas potential, or the Violists skill.
If you like this composer, you'll love Lera Auerbach. Her music isn't on youtube, so go search her on google and go to her website. I love her music as well! Coinsidentally, both women are composers, Russian, and their music is dark and nightmarish. That's pretty funny...
Sofiya Gubaydulina makes time stop, my heart holds back, I am impaled on every note. The swell of the orchestra over and over fills my being. I am uplifted. I love this woman's work!!
I liked it but, violas have a c string for a reason, and they don't (or they shouldn't) be all the way up the fingerboard (in the begining)... it was still good though =-)
I want also add that the author lives alwais with pain in her soul (She said it once in her intervew). Maybe one must just listen that work and anyhow think about Gubaidullina^s words?
Good man. I'm only listening for the first time, but this concerto is fantastic. Also, I'm sorry, but I found Primrose's Walton pretty awful. Have a look at Lawrence Power (which also has the only recording of the fantastic Rubbra concerto) or Nigel Kennedy.
You're insane if you think Nigel Kennedy plays ANYTHING better than William Primrose. I have never listened to Lawrence Power though, so if his interpretation really is great, then you should post it. I heard some short samples of him playing it, and I didn't really like what I heard (he had a slow vibrato and somewhat of a generic sound), but it wasn't enough for me to make an accurate judgment, so you should definitely post it.
This is some of the most brilliant music. simplyme782 is right, it's just really abstract and is quite a lot to wrap one's mind around. This piece was written for Yuri Bashmet. It's one of the best modern pieces out there!
i play the viola, but violin is cool too. alittle too high for me though. i hate it when we're in orchestra and the weather has been awful so we're all out of tune. when the violins tune their e string...it sounds likea horror movie.
I noticed that Yuri in this video often times moves his bow directly over the finger board, much lower than where one normally bows. Does anybody know what sort of effect that is supposed to have? I know he's not doing it accidentally, he's a professional.
it's called "sul tasto" when you bow close to the fingerboard (the flutey sound) and "sul ponticello" when you bow close to the bridge (a very rich and distorted sound). gubaidulina uses these different types of bowing a lot
This is a technique known as "sul tasto". It gives a quieter, whispier sound than playing close to the bridge. xXLeafXNinjaXx is right about it sounding flute-like :) As always you've got to remember to vary the pressure from the index finger of your right hand, depending on where abouts on the string you're bowing. Sul tasto is mainly used in orchestral playing, I can't actually think of very many more famous solo pieces that use it... Hope this helped :)
This is very moving. What piece is this specifically?

i play the viola, but violin is cool too. alittle too high for me though. i hate it when we're in orchestra and the weather has been awful so we're all out of tune. when the violins tune their e string...it sounds likea horror movie.

I noticed that Yuri in this video often times moves his bow directly over the finger board, much lower than where one normally bows. Does anybody know what sort of effect that is supposed to have? I know he's not doing it accidentally, he's a professional.

it's called "sul tasto" when you bow close to the fingerboard (the flutey sound) and "sul ponticello" when you bow close to the bridge (a very rich and distorted sound). gubaidulina uses these different types of bowing a lot

This is a technique known as "sul tasto". It gives a quieter, whispier sound than playing close to the bridge. xXLeafXNinjaXx is right about it sounding flute-like :) As always you've got to remember to vary the pressure from the index finger of your right hand, depending on where abouts on the string you're bowing. Sul tasto is mainly used in orchestral playing, I can't actually think of very many more famous solo pieces that use it... Hope this helped :)

You are right zillions times. Just pretend or actually piss in something and you get the "music".
Now I feel good knowing Mozart is dead. He'd die another time from envy.
Enjoy the heavenly noise.
