Jacques Ibert - Bacchanale (1956)

Jacques François Antoine Marie Ibert (15 August 1890 - 5 February 1962) was a French composer of classical music. Having studied music from an early age, he studied at the Paris Conservatoire and won its top prize, the Prix de Rome at his first attempt, despite studies interrupted by his service in World War I.

Bacchanale (1956)
Dedication: for the BBC on the tenth anniversary of the Third Programme
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Louis Frémaux
The BBC commissioned Jacques Ibert to write this piece in 1956 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Third Programme, its classical radio station that evolved into Radio 3.
It was written in Rome, Italy, and premiered by maestro Eugene Goossens, with the composer in attendance, in London, England.
The work has invited comparisons to George Gershwin, Arthur Honegger, Aram Khachaturian, and Sergei Prokofiev. Its muscular orchestration and relentless momentum make it an option for orchestras to open their concerts with, as the London Philharmonic did at Royal Albert Hall in September 2009.
It has been performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Ferrum Helveticum, the French National Radio Orchestra, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the Louisville Orchestra, Orchestre des Concerts Lamoureux, Orchestre symphonique de Montreal, and Philharmonisches Staatsorchester.

Wow, instantly fell in love with this. Everything you’ve been sharing has been a real treasure trove. Thank you for helping me discover some wonderful new (to me) music.

[@steveegallo3384]

@TromboneConductor767 -- Me too....an exhilarating excitement.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

[@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru]

Gershwin if he was born in France during the revolution

[@fasanov123]

It’s a shame this isn’t performed more. I can’t find any videos of a live performs e. Such a fun, Scott Bradley/Gershwin-esque piece!

[@AlkanLove]

これがガーシュウィンだと??笑わせるwハチャトゥリアンも聞いた事が無いのか?

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Whoa, the brass goes hard in this

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses kompakten und fein komponierten Meisterwerks mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale französische Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte britische Orchester im rhythmischen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

[Crank up the Volume!] Yeah I almost went deaf 🤣

[@Myriasth]

[@LeBingeDoctor]

I liked the bacchanale for a long time and was waiting for this one. I didn't expect you would do that. Thanks you for your work in creating this video, I enjoyed following the music with the score!

[@ABruckner8]

Man, so cool! Should be in every orchestra's rotation.

[@Fumozart]

This is what I want to hear on cartoons and games!

[@BsktImp]

A genius who genius didn't work some of the time but that was not his fault . Thanks to the Louisville Orch.under Robert Whitney, and others, for keeping his music alive. Greetings from Detroit. PS I was in Summer Youth Music stuff 1960s and 1970s and we really liked Ibert's sriting fo chamber winds. Roi Rene, was that his piece ?

[@gregorypalmer5403]

Now I remember. Roi Rene was Milhaud. Trois Pieces Breves was Ibert's contribution to the canon. We'd all love to hear more . from Jim, what a Gentleman. Not sure what to make out of the Hollywood Holocaust eh. They're still at lunch!

[@supasayajinsongoku4464]

what textfont does ibert use in his covers??

[@leafy7]

Hehehe “hautbois”

[@daniloapostolov-dacatv1536]

What is this Stravinski?

[@juicedelemon]

Jacques Ibert

[@bartjebartmans]

Doesn't sound like Stravinsky at all. Khachaturian - Sabre Dance and very probably Spartacus which is from the same year; 1956.

[@Myriasth]

@@bartjebartmans i think this piece is kinda khachaturianish as well
