Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint George - Violin Concertos

[@conforzo]

Mozart is said to have heard one of his violin concertos while in Paris and had been greatly inspired by it.

[@PeekaPeep]

Classical music station I tune in to daily in my area (KUSC) NEVER plays any of his work and I'm seriously beginning to wonder why that is so. Boulogne's life story alone is so incredible it ought to be presented on the big screen with all the trimmings. Fascinating character in the annals of 18th century world history, not to be so easily forgotten.

[@patrickhorne2078]

This is incredible. The very first song is magnificent and beautiful! How is it that none of his music is in movies. There is a symphony center in Indianapolis and I am pretty sure they have never played any of his music! How is that! He is clearly one of the greatest to ever have done it, he deserves more respect, they need to do a Hollywood movie on his life; I would pay a lot of money to see that! If only I was rich, I would pay Hollywood to tell his story LOL :) :) :) :) :) LOL :) :)

This is just so exquisite. How can you say you love music and not be in awe of his talent and the beauty of these arrangements.

KZbin is the greatest most pervasive source of knowledge, awakening the world. I doubt I would have never know anything about this great black musical genius if it wasn't for YT. I guess he was also quite the 'upstart crow.'

[@josephdockemeyer4807]

What is an "upstart crow"?

[@warmswarm]

inquizative44 - I'm 64 and I've never heard the term "upstart crow".

Wieder eine Entdeckung! Brillant in jedem Satz, in jeder Passage. Die Haydn- und Mozartzeit -: eine Zeit voll unbekannter oder zu wenig bekannter Genies. - Wer geigt? Ein herrlich intensiver Geigenton!

Great Athlet, Offizier and great Composer.

and great lover, we know from the Queen of French

[@barrydelisle8655]

Such beautiful music

[@gozafago]

Wonderful music.

[@jillmac1799]

Absolutely great

[@barrydelisle8655]

Leopold Mozart also loved this composer much like the son. JC Bach also may have picked up from him. JC has similar music to St Georges

[@lowtech5380]

I bet Wolfgang copied him and got credit for things he composed.

[@psychocuda]

10:25 could be mistaken for Tchaikovsky, yes, I know he was around well before Tchaikovsky.

[@stanielgrainstuffer1139]

psychocuda I agree, very reminiscent of Eastern European classical music.

[@mouth-breathinng_normie9387]

thumbs up!

[@mrJohnDesiderio]

This is just plain brilliant ! A genius. Needs to stand along side Haydn and early Beethoven , screw Mozart, he sounds nothing like him!

I laugh when people compare hip hop to classical music hip hop is Radom it’s dumb classical music is intellectual

[@NormanAustin]

All music, like any of the arts is meant for self expression & like poetry, is different things to different people. There is nothing inherently intellectual about any of it, depends on what the listener or observer brings to the table, you see what you know.

[@NormanAustin]

If you know nothing about something, that is what you see when you see or hear when confronted with it.
