Georgi Mintchev * Concerto per pianoforte ed orchestra (1976)

[@bobhourigan7626]

A very unique composition. A long introduction almost makes one believe this is a concerto for piano alone. Different and engaging. Thks for the post.

What a massively dark, overwhelming and powerful work, it's terrifying to listen to! Petrov is a genius to bring this off so brilliantly. I'd love to know more about the piece. Thank you very much for posting it.

The electronic effects are achieved through four to five programs of the analog synthesizer EMS London Sinty A with a ring modulator. A dynamic microphone is placed in the piano body connected to the synthesizer and an analog mixing console and amplifier are connected to two speakers. In five places, marked in the score, the synthesizer is turned on and the program controlled by a professional sound engineer. These sound effects cast a haunting and powerful shadow over the whole piece, truly original and inspiring writing.

The paintings (perhaps pastels) that accompany the music are by American artist Jimmy Wright.

No tonality, no rhythm, yet perfect structure and development, how did the author do it? At 13:30 and onwards ... the second coming.
