This symphony was my first introduction to the music of Martinů, the broadcast of a live performance given over thirty years ago, and I think I got started off with the best of the six he wrote. I have all of them in my collection but this one remains my favorite. And Martinů is such an interesting and unusual composer with such a strange yet beguiling compositional style. He's so underrated but I'm glad that his music is still performed before audiences on occasion.

I first heard this on my local classical radio station while driving. I was so transfixed I kept listning while parked in the driveway at home. How many others listening here have had the same experience, when you hear something that so affects you, you can't turn it off. After that I of course had to look for a recording, purchased the same day.

Bombastic and textured but also melodic at the same time makes it very interesting and involving piece.

thank you for this excellent post. i think Martinu is one of the most under played and under appreciated composers.

Perfect songs to read the subjective forms of the clouds and to follow with a tender eye the grooves of the stems of the trees; appreciate the complex writing of the nested branches, taste the colors of the decomposition of light into water droplets in a garden, and strongly feel the wet soil of ancestral forest to perceive the traces of animals from deep past 🦚

This is the first time I listened to a composition by Martinu. Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing.
@gerardbegni28067 жыл бұрын
You have indeed a lot to dicover. Many scores of Martinu are incredibly beautiful and written in a strict form, with a fine feeling of insstrumental effects. KZbin is an unique opportunity for that.

Another fabulous composition by M. Cannot understand why he is not better known, and he clearly follows in the mold of Smetana, Dvorak and Janacek.

The subtitle "fantaisies symphoniques' should not lead to the conclusion that the sense of form as absent from this symphony. On the opposite, its architecture is solid but original.Its orchestration is compact but extremely subtle, as it can partly be seen from the video.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." So many of the comments below adore this piece and I find it much ado about nothing. It is almost as if he never heard Beethoven or Mahler. There is lots of interesting music here but no magic or majesty.
@santiagocastillo17194 жыл бұрын
Eso que usted dice podría decirse también respecto de Mahler si lo compara con Beethoven. El término de comparación no pueden ser autores de épocas y estilos diferentes. Compare usted con otra sinfonía estrenada a finales de los años 50. What you say could also be said of Mahler if you compare him with Beethoven. The term of comparison cannot be authors of different times and styles. Compare yourself to another symphony premiered in the late 1950s.
@skipthepool2 жыл бұрын
Possibly try again. It works with small units and needs repeated listening. Charles Munch called one passage in the finale 'Beethovenesque ' and it is obvious which bit the great conductor was referring to. ..... but you clearly missed it. C'est la vie.
