Per Nørgård: Symphony No. 2 (Leif Segerstam)

[@MegaCirse]

Подобно первым лучам зари, эта музыка открывает вам глаза на новые обещания и на все чудеса природы. Вызывая невероятные силы, эти произведения трогают струны сердца, вызывают ностальгию и пробуждают любовь, ободранные жизни и оцепенение измученных стражников 🤗

The opening 3 minutes are very Scelsi-ish aren't they? G is the central pitch, but it's pincered by G 1/4 # and F# 3/4#, with each note perambulated throughout the orchestra like a strange relay. Then at 3:07 we reach a point of arrival as the Infinity Series takes hold. Who needs acid when you got this?

[@reidwhitton6248]

Interesting! I also thought of Scelsi while listening to the Storgards recording of this symphony.

[@stueystuey1962]

Never hurts to have good acid. This composer is definitely finding his way into the rotation. Is he primarily a symphonist, or are there smaller scale works worthy of listening to?

Wow! Thanks for telling us the ideas (some of them ) behind the experience and composition . I looked at the score for his 3rd symphony (huge 2 foot long pages )- I need to see it again now. So much is missed with contemporary music because the composers don't communicate verbally with audience and the conductor,musicians so often do so very little to engage the music. HermannScherchen said listening was all you need to do . I disagree and since the average listener is looking for melody and repetition of motifs much more needs to be done to bring listeners into the listening space .If it's up to the listener then much of the contemporary output will be heard once ,overlooked as unnecessary and uncommunicative and forgotten and cited and adhered to only by experts. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be but even musicians don't know where lots of contemporary music and ideas are coming from .

Fascinating. Just an immediate impression: Ligeti's micropolyphony (or maybe Feldman's quilt patterns?) .... meets John Adams post-minimalism .... ?

+Ear-full Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ebutuoy, where comments are actually intelligent and informed, if a little pretentious.

This is exciting music. I am wondering about the painting--is that Alma Mahler?

[@nathalieBr]

[@zandriessen-degard3222]
