Alfred Schnittke - Piano Quintet (w/ score) (1976)

[@lesleynaughty]

Goes through the grief cycle (denial , anger, bargaining, depression , acceptance) in music! Amazing! I just lost my dad and best friend, and the composer had lost his mum, this is what the piece is about.

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

What a happy fella, that Schnittke

[@ezekielisaia]

It was composed right after the death of his mother.

Гениальное произведение одного из самых гениальных композиторов 20го века! Шнитке- Провидец! Ведь всё, что происходит с нами, нашими Душами и с Миром сегодня, в первой четверти 21века, он превидел и знал ещё в 70е годы прошлого,его Музыка об Этом. Это ЛУЧШЕЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ его Квинтета!!! Не удивительно: ведь играют его друг - Марк Лубоцкий и его супруга Ирина❤❤ Благодарность за эту запись!

[@bathsheba56]

Thanks for this. Schnittke, for all my limited knowledge, is one of my favorite composers.

[@danielzarb-cousin8074]

+Castor Denston Yes. I'd agree. Although I think he is my top favorite composer.

[@auerod]

Wow, the passacaglia theme in the finale is absolutely devastating. What a gorgeous work. This quintet will undoubtedly be my next obsession.

[@PianoHypnoshroom]

mysterious, depressive, and yet exciting

[@Cesar_SM]

I can't explain myself how this guy could compose such a bleak piece. utterly heartrending, it's like a mixture of many nightmares... at all events, it's a tremendous quintet.

[@Jeannekm126]

Very enigmatic and wonderful piece.

[@felipe_sth]

So much power into this pièce in general. With the not so big repertoire of classical music I have, I am yet to find one that sounds this harmonic yet borderline atonal, how the strings are pulled in a way it brings out the unusual. Simply magnificent, a must listen I'd say.

[@tao5143]

This is the first time i heard this quintet and I´m totally in love with it.

[@dennischiapello7243]

The mood is downright morbid, but it's absolutely compelling!

[@BillPark-ey6ih]

morbid is the word I was looking for. This piece makes me shrink.

O am gee that's a beyonder piece

[@toribird216]

Great song used this for a theater project at my school

[@jacobleis5673]

I watched the movie, "The Lobster" which evidently, according to the roll credits, features some of Schittke's music. Fascinating atonal use of strings. Never heard it prior to last weekend.

[@belanna000]

best film of the year

"Man eats alone...man eats with woman..."

[@pianomanhere]

Great piece.. enjoyed it very much. Now, if KZbin's marketing Philistines and Barbarians could time their advertising and not use it to interrupt such music, the experience would be improved.

[@BarrelShape]

a genuinely frightening piece of music

[@whollybro]

Ein großartiges Stück!

[@allansegall4502]

What a haunting ending!!

[@MrInterestingthings]

This gives expression to a way of life hopefully none of us living in the United States will have to suffer through. It is such an experience - then again it could also describe the slowness of being overmedicated and listless . Miss Havisham knows this music but it has so many emotions much more than just disappointment or despair even . Hopelessness . Unlike so much Shostakovich it doesnt show the fight just the sleep-dream. The microtones everywhere(I must use more I use clustes cuz I dont want definite pitches -this music is full of solutions to many of my quests . Silence too is big in Schnittke . So clever was he !!! trills in the end of 8th minute up till utterances in III section and 15 minute are fabulous . The ned to say what is difficult or Insanity I think becomes the dominant tone around 15th minute ! Why do performers so often ignore ppp's .Ive noticed in Ravel - even though it can be done and microphones can get clear misty soft unsounds ? 4movement has some fight more drive and seeming purposeful opposition than what came before so these characters might get out of this. It certainly ends rather sunnily ! Amazing music ! Messiaen stole the title this music should have !

[@MorbidMayem]

written in memory of his deceased mother

[@Ivan_1791]

This is pretty epic.

[@j.rodriguezpico]

como un sueño...

[@manfromthegap]

Wow!

[@sergiohman]

Una de mis obras favoritas de toda la vida

[@argus2k]

15:37 the most dissonant !!!!!

[@kuang-licheng402]

great

[@socraticgadfly]

@belanna000 not sure which, but you're missing one of the two violinists on the list of performers.

[@johnstag1391]

Terrific

[@pawdaw]

Masterpiece

[@JordanMHollowayComposer]

Beautifully horrifying!

Perfect

[@PM_ME_MESSIAEN_PICS]

what a fucking mood

[@deathdoor]

Some parts remind me a lot of "False Idol" from Demon's Souls soundtrack.

[@MoskusMoskiferus1611]

13:48 Damn

[@ludimagister-2005]

O, shit

[@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji]

Epic

[@Szhenrik94]

This is great. Where do you got the score? Is it possible to send me?

[@ilovebuckwheat]

Such a complicated piece. You can really hear Shostakovich's influence on it.

[@claudiopassilongocommunity]

is Irina Alfred's daughter?

[@belanna000]

it's his wife

[@claudiopassilongocommunity]

Thank you for your reply

[@slakva.school]

Is this really music..?

[@rayancharafeddine4982]

Define music

[@albertomartin4812]

Yes, it is. You don't know much about music in the 20th century if this work is challenging for you.

[@rossedwards3623]

Yeah it's just bad music

[@johnnynoirman]

Not done well.

[@victorgrauer5834]

Poor note choice.
