Kilar: Orawa ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Krzysztof Urbański

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Kilar likes to allow musical ideas to percolate for a while before moving on. This piece certainly featured a crescendo of excitement as the music progressed. Much of what he does is combine folk principles in a classical format. The result is always engaging and dramatic. The shout at the end is the perfect final cadence.

Zaczynając w dzieciństwie edukację muzyczną większość z nas grało, śpiewało słynną melodię z okolic Zakopanego "W murowanej piwnicy". Motywy tej piosenki są tu wplecione w cały utwór w setkach powtórzeń, a od 3:00 do 3:10 można nawet usłyszeć tę melodię w całości. I te cudowne kwinty w akompaniamencie. Dyrygent mistrzowsko zaaranżował dynamikę i tempo, a muzycy w świetnym stylu podążali za każdym ruchem jego batuty. Fantastyczne wykonanie

[@Fat-Tony-787]

Orawa, composed in 1986 by Kilar, is a breathtaking piece for string orchestra inspired by the mountainous region of Orawa in southern Poland. Its repetitive motifs and gradual build-up in intensity beautifully capture the landscape and the vibrant spirit of the local culture. The energy and hypnotic rhythm draw you in, especially with the dynamic crescendo that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who listens. Flawless.

bardzo ładne wykonanie. Jasne, radosne, miejscami drapieżne, eleganckie. W. Kilar na pewno się w Niebie cieszy :-).

[@marikomariko3992]

Terrific! Spellbinding contemporary music, young conductor, young concert master, and much older audience is totally thrilled. Great musical experience as a whole. 👏👏👏

[@erdemmans]

this piece is a masterpiece of the last decades, I dig the highly rythmic strings and yet serene soundtrack-y vibes. truly remarkable.

[@EnriqueDeQuesada101]

Super, great!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gittefuchs3740]

Atemberaubend gespielt! Mitreißendes Stück!

[@salvadorperezlopez_clarinet]

My imagination goes wild every time I hear this work. It takes me on a journey as if I am watching something unfold right in front of my eyes. Kilar was also an active film composer so that probably explains a lot :)

[@anneblack-qp6kd]

Stunning and so beautiful! Breathless and speechless!! Thank you! And thank you, God!

[@pathorne8018]

I started out listening to this as I worked on a letter ... After a couple minutes and a few sentences I gave up on writing, and gave myself over to watching and listening to this wonderful performance. We are all so very lucky that you bring such musical performances to the "world's stage" of youtube. My heartfelt thanks.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses modernen Meisterwerks mit perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Streichinstrumente. Der junge Konzertmeister ist echt genial. Der intelligente polnische Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete deutsche Streichorchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit perfekt vereinigter Dynamik. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

[@matthewv789]

Wonderful new (to me) music, thank you to Urbanski and the hr sinfonieorchester for bringing us this performance! Hey!!

[@samazwe]

Amazing string work!

[@siebenchantal292]

Super! Thanks a lot for this wonderful interpretation!

[@bratscheguy1023]

I had the pleasure of playing this work a few years ago, and have been hooked on it since. It is incredibly fun to play and should be performed more often. It's initially scored for Chamber Orchestra but is easily done by a full Symphony string section. That is what I enjoyed most about this performance. The Conductor stayed out of the way in the beginning and other solo sections of the piece allowing the musicians to play chamber music with each other, and it was marvelous and this reading is now my new favorite. I've now officially subscribed to this Orchestras channel. ❤❤❤ Favorite part is near the end where everyone plays 8th note G's then Kilar crunches it with the tone cluster, then G"s, then tone cluster, G's, extended cluster, drive to the finale! 🤣🤣 love it!

Wojciech Kilar spent most of his life in southern Poland and took the opportunity to source some ideas from the highlanders nearby, which have a completely distinct "wild" music style in the folk music, even compared to the rest of the Poland and played on rural weddings, and Kilar blended it, in my opinion, perfectly into the modern music and . "Orawa" with hr-Sinfonieorchester and Urbański is my favourite performance of this piece. You can also find a minor note on that piece on en.wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojciech_Kilar#Orawa

[@jacoborios5613]

Canlı izleme şansına nail olduğum bu eser, gerek orkestranın muhteşem yorumu gerekse maestronun yönetimiyle alkışı fazlasıyla hak ediyor. Devamında Sol Gabetta'nın eşlik ettiği eserleri de dinlemenizi öneririm. Hr Senfoni orkestrası tekrar söylüyorum, dünyanın en iyi on orkestrasından biri 👍

[@erdemmans]

bu caldiklari eser de ayri bir efsane, kadikoy'de surreya operasinda dinleme sansina eristim ben de haziran 2023de bu eseri.

Contemporary classical music thats actually nice to hear? I must be dreaming! Thank you for the Amazing performance, love from Indonesia Edit: my first thought after hearing the first couple of minutes is "wow this is very cinematic". Only after a little searching that i found out Mr. Kilar IS primarily a film composer. Bravo!

[@TheOmninovoi]

1986 is contemporary?

[@firzaakbarpanjaitan]

@@TheOmninovoi isn't everything after the romantic period contemporary? Because I don't know, i'm only an amateur enthusiast...

Does the title of the composition mean "crowd?" What a remarkable lively and beautiful work!

[@noo4449]

It's named after a mountain region in southern Poland/northern Slovakia

映画"The Pianist"や"Korczak"の音楽監督さんの曲ね。 私は現代音楽は苦手だけど、この曲は受け入れやすい。 ポーランドの若い指揮者さん。 ショパンさんの故郷だけあって、素晴らしい音楽家がたくさん。 Kilarさんは、現ウクライナ地域の生まれ？ 複雑で悲しく切ない歴史を抱える地域性が反映されたかのような音楽性かも。

[@Katsudon_Phil]

This totally fun! Though I don’t know what Orawa actually means…

[@betikul]

Orawa is a small mountain region on the border between Poland and Slovakia. Kilar referred here to the specific rhythms, melodies and harmonies of highlanders living in that area for centuries.

[@lucynaborczuch6786]

Orava is the name of the river!
