Grisey: Les espaces acoustiques ∙ Ensemble Modern ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Kasakawa ∙ Cambreling

Amazing! I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing and hearing the first 3 movements live and wish I could be here for all 6!

[@adigozelov-enjoyer]

A monumental spectralist and compositional feat of the 20th century! Packed with emotion and beauty! This performance is amazing, too!

[@thijmenkrijgsman2417]

Really really really awesome performance!! Many thanks🙏🙏

[@arcarorafael]

Amazing performance by Megumi Kasakawa. Very impressive playing!! Amazing music by Grisey

[@davidmfoxe]

Agreed. One of the landmark pieces for the instrument.

[@NickMorgan-kk4et]

A phenomenal performance of one of the great masterpieces of the late 20th Century - bravo and thank you so much! 👏 I was lucky enough to attend the UK premiere in London and this is just as enthralling. Is it too much to hope it'll be issued commercially? Maybe in 5.1... 😁

[@chloroxiphite]

Amazing music!

감사합니다^^

[@letbrainrainonme6419]

Lots of mimimi and artistic intolerance in this comment section. Nobody is forced to see the concerts, and the names of the pieces and composers are known to potential recipients beforehand. Im not discouraging anyone from saying why he doesnt like it, but its nonsense to say that everybody wouldnt or couldnt potentially like it.

[@ralph17p]

Well - forced... perhaps not. But my wife recently went to a concert to support a friend and her daughter who plays the bassoon in a baroque ensemble and she mentioned the first piece by another group which she said she thought was taking a really long time to tune up but eventually realised that was actually the piece of music itself, and that it was like a bunch of individual musicians playing their own thing at the same time. It certainly is an acquired taste. To me, I can't get over it sounding like the background music to some 80s TV program that's trying to be suspenseful.

Tiefempfundene doch übermäßig lange Aufführung dieses komplizierten und grob komponierten Werks durch die geniale Soloviola, den klugen Maestro und das erfahrene Ensemble. Wahrlich unterwältigend!

[@Tiggiathome]

Danke, notaire3

[@marksteinhaeuser]

Also, ich habe meine Diplomarbeit über "Les Espaces acoustiques" geschrieben - "grob komponiert" ist wirklich nicht der richtige Ausdruck.

More of a show than a concert!

[@mysock351C]

Sounds like a cross between a horror movie soundtrack and a high school band taking a tumble down a flight of stairs. Whatever happened to music having structure and melody?

[@thomaslaubli1886]

If you can't find a structure here, that's up to you.

[@SarahLeizer-fc1jq]

1 hour and 48 minutes long! I'm just glad I wasn't part of the audience at the concert hall.

@@noisemaker0129 Do you go to Swedish thrash-metal concerts? No??? Yo bruh… So closed-minded. And at least those have some form of musical structure. This faux-edgy genre is so overdone at this point. But, I have a hard time taking those seriously who claim to really like this enough to genuinely “defend” it. Do you really like it? Or are you really just astroturfing?

[@hercmike]

If a migraine headache could be turned into musical notes, this is what it would sound like. This is Scabble music. Write a musical note on each brick, throw them up into the air, and where they fall, play the notes in that order!

[@carstenb4513]

also ich höre hier ja gerne mit ... aber das kommt mir so vor, als stimmen die fast 2 Stunden lang ihre Instrumente 😶

[@thomaslaubli1886]

Das mag daran liegen, dass Grisey kleinere Intervalle als im Zwölftonsystem benutzt. Dies rührt daher, dass er sich an die natürliche Obertonreihe anlehnt. Dementsprechend kann er auch Orchesterklänge fusionieren, welche klingen, als ob sie elektronisch erzeugt wären.

[@DaestrumManitz]

Prime example of poor composition. My sympathies to those sentenced to endure it. 💀

[@thomaslaubli1886]

Poor spirits only recognize poor things where there are really bright ones.

[@arentjanmager]

Not a piece of music to fall in love with right away, especially since it opens with - for me - very off-putting viola playing. It gets better though once the orchestra gets going..

[@thomaslaubli1886]

If you listen carefully, you can already recognize overtone spectra in the viola's prologue, which are unfolded and tip back into the inharmonic and noisy. Such spectra also play a role in the other pieces.

[@thomaslaubli1886]

In diesem Stück werden Techniken aus der Computermusik auf das Orchester übertragen. Man findet Differenztöne, Ringmodulation, Klangsynthese, inharmonische Spektren. In diesem Sinne ist es ein Pionierwerk.

[@berndkruger5030]

@@thomaslaubli1886 Das mag alles sein. Aber ich kann mich für diese Art von Musik nicht erwärmen.
