Moritz Moszkowski - Suite d'Orchestre no. 2 (1890)

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Probably one of the most underrated composers.

[@foveauxbear]

totally, gorgeous music

[@cp0bo593]

Its you again

[@kurthandson]

totally agree..

[@danielsimon8754]

How this composer's orchestral works are not performed is beyond me. At least we have the discs to thank for. His music is so captivating full of imagination and so many glorious melodies. His spanish dances and Suite from foriegn Lands are his best works truly memorable as well as his 3 marvellous suites for orchestra.

Never too much Moszkowski :)

[@VooteleAer]

Harp with solo violin and an organ...what an heavenly sound combination

[@АлександрЯрков-ш2з]

Bravo brilliance music suite super

[@Slynell1]

That Prelude 🙏🏽

[@이상호-p3c]

The last movement is just total fire. Sounds like more complicated and sophisticated version of Disney music

[@Bakexcake1]

I think this is the first moszkowski suite for orchestra no. 2 recording on youtube. of course i enjoyed it, its moszkowski

[@bradleyfletcher6525]

Thanks for this! Love Moszkowski, one of my favorite romantics!

[@grindelo5868]

So very underrated. Sad how its hard to find any recordings of his work

[@sabaneyev]

thanks for this! i haven't listened to this and I'm happy to have finally done so

[@scriabin2755]

The organ of the second movement! So beautiful! 12:02

[@VooteleAer]

Violin, harp and an organ, what an interesting combination

[@cp0bo593]

29:33 is the best thing I've ever heard.

[@cakexbake]

whats that person saying at 17:17?

[@bortkievitch]

It seems like the voice of a woman saying "when" ......: or she has lost herself reading the score or it is a psychophony ...¡¡¡

And why exactly ww all know Moszkowski almost only for his piano pieces? Not that those peices are bad, but this suite really, really deserves to be played way more often. An adaptation of the last movement could be a greater nuptial march than Mendelssohn's or Wagner's.

[@foveauxbear]

I know, right ... his music is most worthy, yet out orchestras still push out Bruckner and Brahms endlessly

[@brianhammer5107]

because the piano was his most intimate, his most creative pallet - his true brilliance shines on those compositions - no scholar/critic has ever claimed - nor the general public - that his suites or symphonic poem ever rivaled true orchestral geniuses like Mahler, Brahms, or Rimsky-Korsakov . . .

[@brianhammer5107]

@@foveauxbear that's because the general public purchases these - Moszkowski is generally forgotten

[@SPscorevideos]

@@brianhammer5107 It would be hard to have any claim of sort from scholar and public about something that is never performed... :)

[@brianhammer5107]

@@SPscorevideos all his orchestral music is out on CD and a big part of his chamber and piano music, also

[@foveauxbear]

Weird I know, but I'm slightly reminded of Elgar at times.

[@baba-sm7ng]

Thank you! do you know any recording of his symphony too ?

[@ImWalde]

I did a midi recording of it a while back, but I've heard its getting finally recorded in the future

[@norwalltino]

I'm totally shut down, please wake up after a while, an internet-while

[@ShaunakDesaiPiano]

The beginning of the Larghetto sounds heavily inspired by the third movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.

11:15 - 11:35, 25:03

[@Musicrafter12]

What a fugue!

[@georgenestler2534]

It appears I am the only one here who finds this suite to be very banal and second rate. After listening a second time I wish to change my opinion of this music. I now find it much more interesting and enjoyable if still a little banal. But still a little boring in middle slow sections. Can I wake up now? Is it over? Seems to be poor imitation of Tchaikovsky's suits for orchestra that falls flat in comparison.

[@vesteel]

can you elaborate?

[@cp0bo593]

are you that one dislike :D

No, you're not going to find much that is profound in Moszkowski's catalogue. The reason is he didnt intend to be profound; he wanted to be pleasing. He was a household name virtuoso pianist who worked hard and played hard . He lived a glamorous high-flying life and composing was to pay the heavy bills for all the wine, women and song but also let him focus on being a brilliant pianist. He composed , basically, to "sell records". Well, sheet music, back then. And the public ate it up. He had solid if not stupendous composition and orchestration skills ( who knows , he could have afforded help and maybe he had some) . And he used those skills to his very best financial advantage. He did not aspire to be a virtuoso pianist ladies' man who was also a mystic. That was Liszt. Nor did he aspire to being a politician or " statesman" on top of his pianistic wizardry. That was Paderewski. Moritz was just Moritz, poor Jewish kid who found himself the toast of Europe and wow did he ever enjoy that. Had to pay for the lifestyle, though. What he left was a lot of really nice, pleasant music. Not " pops" either. Gawd the pablum that people like Daugherty, John Adams, Phil Glass et al ad nauseum turn out today, now some of that IS, definitely, " banal" as you say. 50 years from now it will get even less airtime than Kabalevsky does today. It's just good old melodious, pleasing music and his first concerto by the way is as solid as any. Enjoy !
