A Far Cry - Schnittke: Concerto Grosso no.1 (1977), V. Rondo: Agitato

[Perkisound]

I SO wish this guy were still alive and creating more music like this today...

[MsVatya]

Гениальная музыка!!!! Спасибо!

The eclectic style of Schnittke is perhaps the reason why his music is worth listening.

In my opinion he is one of very few modern composers whose music is not just about cacophony but about human emotionality in its variety and richness.

[samuraiinCfede]

Beyond incredible!

[cualquie]

Buen compositor

[Igneous01]

This is amazing, I had just listened to this in its entirety, what a man, now thats what I call modern music, his hybridization of all things avant garde and traditional makes it great to listen to.

[MrKorton]

what are you doing to my cerebral cortex Schnittke :O

[suuperbus]

This is the first time I've ever heard from Schnittke but it is just one word I can describe it: genious.

[Gonnakillyou]

Schöne Instrumentalisation.

[wintercannon]

I'm so sad the rest of this performance of the concerto isn't online. So brilliant...

[technoviking]

I would love to have this on CD - is A Far Cry planning to record any of Schnittke's concerto grossos, especially this one? This is an absolutely stunning piece and performance.

[technoviking]

Truly wonderful - a refutation of Soviet realism.

[roccoprch1]

Superb soloists! Brave and uncompromising! Congratulations!

[roccoprch1]

Good question! Why are they standing? I' ll enhance Mankind with my opinion. First,

they don't have a conductor. In a way, they have to "feel" each other! Each musician, is a "conductor",though, they probably have a "chief" musician.Secondly, by standing,moving , they have the "feel" of a soloist, like playing a concerto on his/her own instrument. That alone, gives the orchestra "special" sound, feel..... I could continue, but I have to stop!.....Peace!

[WannabeDetectiveAlex]

Wow, I got chills from this piece!

[galulya]

Brilliant

[GregFox100]

This really was the pinnacle of Schnittke's years of history-learning compositions. At the end of this section things get really out of hand. Where he was 'only' mocking Corelli and Mozart before, now he turns on Beethoven (and this performance makes this da-da-da-dummm section much more vivid and offensive than any other I've heard) and even Mahler (via the prepared piano - perhaps a sign of their shared sense of 'outsider'ness). This is the creative artist at breaking point. Masterpiece.

[MrLombreeze]

Thank you very much for posting this. Great performance of a great music.

[ViolaJ]

This is incredible. So are Nelson and Meg! I just met them this summer :-)

[Nimiauredhel]

what an incredible ending. 'disarming' is the word. :)

[AnarchoHumanist]

Simply incredible music, given an incredible performance.

[vokshumana]

Why do they are standing?

[dweilin]
