Abe: Prism Rhapsody ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Martin Grubinger ∙ Vasily Petrenko

[@conradthe2]

His face the whole time is priceless

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

To my knowledge this is the best recording of this piece in existence, and also my favorite by far. I wish we had one of Abe herself doing it in full but honestly this is probably as good as it gets.

[@valery7145]

"Prism Rhapsody" for marimba and orchestra, composed by Japanese marimba player and composer ABE Keiko (安倍圭子).

[@HuangShang010]

아름다운 선율소리에 마음이 한결 같이 힐링이 되면서 편안한 한 주를 보낼 수 있어요.... 멋진 무대 잘 보고 듣고 갑니다.

[@Jimbob-zv5zr]

If I were in the audience I would be wanting to suddenly scream at the top of my voice in the quiet moments RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :0

[@sadredinesmaily8283]

[@gabrielarosas23]

凄すぎる…今度演奏する上で参考にさせて頂きます

[@mmarci23]

Very rare composer

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

He was at Eurovision 2015 ❤️🇦🇹

[@douglasyiuchinglok307]

Where did the part of 5:30-7:51 come from? I don't remember having this part the first time I met the rhapsody 14 years ago.

[@みそぉ-y5y]

ADAMSのマリンバ音盤の色綺麗

[@jakelance5786]

You can see sweat drip from his chin at 16:59 lol

[@funglutkwan]

Oh Yes

[@ЭдвардГригорьев]

Брависсимо!!!

[@sebastiandaniel1145]

¡Cómo deseo estar ahí! 😍

[@johannbrandstatter7419]

The usual riddles here and lack of information - the composer at least seems to be Keiko Abe. I am surprised that this constant lack of information does not bother anybody. Seems like most people are quite content with any piece of music thrown at them. Luckily, at least the conductor has more precise instructions in front of him. Why are we not more informed ?

[@longlifetometal1995]

Open the description box

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

@@longlifetometal1995 The description tells us nothing else about the piece other than that it's scored for marimba and orchestra, which should be kind of obvious

[@djsalad5752]

Composed by Keiko Abe, Performed by Martin Grubinger, Conducted by Vasily Petrenko

[@SapoDrums27]

He keeps 32nd notes sixtuplets for a whole lot of time in the last minutes raising up from 130bpm to around 155....... And in the very last bars he takes even the 64ths???

[@longlifetometal1995]

ikr, it's goddamn nasty

[@patriceofficial9407]

This man might need to get his neck checked out after such a good performance

[@danielcruize3910]

Hi . Why do you play percussion 1 from conversations in the forest ( by Abe ) ? is this how the rhapsody is ?

[@NgHoiYin]

yes the rhapsody incorporates some elements from prism and conversation in the forest!

[@NgHoiYin]

conversation in the forest itself is largely based on prism, hence the striking similarities between the three.

[@hayahiken1972]

which mallet model does he use from 15:04?

[@ZoiBox]

I know it's very late but as far as I'm aware they make their own mallets

[@zenshadow26055]

Anyone know if a high quality audio track of this performance is available for download/purchase? I looked on google and I can’t find any downloads or anything. It’s a shame because this is my favorite recording of this piece.

[@jakelance5786]

Me too! I haven’t found anything either

[@ВладимирУ-т3ц]

На 2уха - если не ауди, то видео. Бесплатно скачал несколько концертов Франкфуртского оркестра.

[@kuang-licheng402]

nice

[@SapoDrums27]

this all is alien = he's an alien

[@NurgunF]

Reptiloid

[@zenshadow26055]

Anybody know if/where I can get a download or CD of this performance? Yeah, there's YT to MP3 but that's gross and KZbin's compression is audible in this upload. I'd rather have a lossless/uncompressed audio track if possible. Any help is appreciated!

[@carytowncat]

Holy shit

[@yiyiwei861]

7:09 dangerous hhh

[@silasbarlocher6753]

Does anybody know, where I can get the sheet music of this piece?

[@danirashdan3916]

every percussionist lost him when he used xylophone mallet on the marimba

[@mlefeb]

I think those were just rubber mallets which are fine on marimba

[@notaire2]

Viel besser und angenehmer als "Speaking Drums".

[@zitronenmonsun]

notaire2 ignoranz

[@notaire2]

Nonsens

[@notaire2]

Vielleicht so, aber das gehört zum Geschmack jedes Zuschauers.

[@lilfrizt1977]

Ja

[@karlwilker155]

I feel emasculated by this guy.

[@ՌազմիկԵրկաթ]

It's a weak piece.

[@luissilva5274]

Do better then
