Sofia Gubaidulina: Viola Concerto - Yuri Bashmet pt.3

[Farnik01]

This is such an incredible piece... wow. I love the orchestration and the references to Ravel's Rhapsodie Espangole...

[PoterIvan]

Sofia jest niesamowita, najlepszy koncert altówkowy jaki słyszałem! Niesamowity kompozytor i niesamowita kobieta, zawsze mam ciarki przy 2 i 3 części. Ona naprawdę potrafi człowieka przenieść w inny wymiar!

[Marcontrol2000]

sucumbe al poder de la catostrofe , y transformandote en la vulnerable carnada de la muerte, se el propio testigo de tu agonico descenso a un sufrimiento frio y eterno dolor, donde lentamente has de formar parte del delirio y donde tu sangre a de teñir el aire. grandiosa obra, quien mejor que bashmet para interpretar gubaidulina?

[123must]

the part 3 is wanderful!

Thank you again

[KishoAudioVisual]

Sofia <3333333333 ... i wonder if boulez will ever consider conducting this amazing composer ?

[tkanes17]

sweaty viola 5:19

[cosmosman]

this is the kind of music that would be in a video game and make me shit my pants as i open doors in dark room sand stuff.

EPIC BOSS FIGHT!!!!!

[danielkestler]

Very nice.

[blackMZworld]

absolut umhauend!

[shlomzion]

Looks like Ms. Gubaidulina gave the orchestra a real work out. Bashmet was superb as usual.

[Ear4Beauty]

This is the female body laboring to free itself from the child within. The child, the viola, having developed in to greater and greater facility, resists.

[keepitacrime]

i think its an epic warrior on a quest for glory into the land of doom, on his war steed thunder horse battling towering collosi and mammoths of ancient origin

[cosmosman]

@keepitacrime YES!!!

[sutphoe]

nice, plesante mix of dark and brooding colours here.

[gpeddino]

This is so nerve-racking and awesome! Could be the soundtrack of a horror movie.

[yuehchopin]

内容挺弱

穷搅和

[MilosDorian]

wow...i only recently began to listen to her music... i'm realizing she is in line with the great masters. thank you so much for posting this.

[quagapp]

Somewhere between Shosta, Stravinsky, Schnittke and Varese but I read she is influenced by Eastern music also - yes great "colour" - extraordinary power, and subtlety, and tension - "rich and strange " in fact... great music.

[EccoLima]

Amazing! I can't believe how much colour she gets from the orchestra.

[erikstijnen]

Amazing dark work! I'm currently exploring some more modern pieces of classical music (than Shos/Bartok etc..) and I like this one very much. Penderecki's 2nd Violin Concerto is also brilliant. Anyone can recommend me some more?

[DerPedrupu]

Viola concerto from schnitke is very special, as it is the the 1st violin concerto Shostakovich

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Prokofiev's sinfonia concertante for cello is fascinating and so is Shostakovich's 1st cello concerto

[anaklasis]

Lutoslawski's Partita and Cello Concerto, Ligeti's violin concerto is very beautiful too.

[pankracy111]

if you search for really scary and dark piece I recommend you Lutoslawski's 3rd symphony !

All the best!

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Wtf harpsichord? This piece is insane, that whole section starting 2:43 with the timpani is so badass

[vkoracx]

@AbsoluteZ3R0

I believe it is a development section-she is playing with all the motives that were presented before and she is raising tension

[PhantomCellist]

A very scary piece, but i love it! yay for modern classical music!

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

OH NOOOOOOS!

theres sweat on his viola!

his TESTORE viola :O

[seanmichaelfreese]

it ISN'T a violin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yes, that viola does sound brilliant.

i mean, yes...he is sloppy on some transitions but other than that AMAZING SOUND!

viola is amazingly harder than a violin, everything about it makes it harder.

but it has that sound to it that makes a violin so insignificant in comparison.

[DevilViolinist]

Do you play both?

[seanmichaelfreese]

very badly.

i am well accuainted with those who do.

a big admirer of those who do play i guess you could say.

i am more of hte composer type than actual instrumentalist.

i play a lot but not all well, just enough to know things about them.

of couse i haven't progressed well enough in me compositions to feel confortable with extorting me work. i guess you could say it that way.

[fairyofdew]

Now you see how it's easy to be a "composer" nowadays! What does one need for inspiration? Talent? You are wrong. Tether a tin can to a cat's tail and write it down.

To my enemies I would play this stuff every day. Let them enjoy.

[Rhinegoldt]

The composer who has enough skill to transcribe THAT certainly deserves a prize. But until he comes along, why don't you keep your worthless commentary to yourself?

[Rhinegoldt]

(posted in response to fairyofdew)

[fairyofdew]

I apologize, my friend. I wish these charming tunes follow you to the end of your life and further.

Glory to the Soviet Bach in skirt.

Shame on me, spoiled by miserable Mozart and Beethoven.

[Rhinegoldt]

no, just spoiled by conservativeness.

[fairyofdew]

Oh, you're right again, my glorous friend. You're still soft to my misery. Say firmly: Mozart and Beethoven are losers. Would they be able to compose such heavenly tunes? The creatures wouldn't consider this noise as music at all.

Enjoy G-na, play it your house, share with you family and friends.

Your poor tastless idiot.

[Rhinegoldt]

But actually, I'm quite tasty! You should eat me sometime!

[ashton200]

you know he is working hard, got sweat dripping down that instrument and all, great work!!

[fairyofdew]

and you know, when Mike Tyson is working hard, gets sweat dripping down his 'instrument' and all, great work!!!

[pankracy111]

This concert is very very good for me. I like it.

Congratulations for Yuri Bashmet for a great play.

[Korsair777]

that viola sounds pretty ancient, ---

[mahlerkid]

Which it probably is

[UberCarla]

This guy is drooling/sweating. He also has a crazy Vibrato!!! and hair...

[embcomposer]

Gran intensidad en la orquestación.

[JDHenneberry]

wow!!!!!! what viola does Bashmet use?

[tranquilled]

1758 viola made by Milanese luthier Paolo Testore,

[DevilViolinist]

3 years in difference to Mozart's viola!

[VolgaTatar]

I am proud that the Tatar genius contributed so much to the world music. Sofia's father, who was a mullah, would be proud of her too.
