Penderecki: String Trio | Jordan Hall

[@danb2622]

These young ladies are intense! Excellent cello tone too! Well, they're all fantastic!!

[@MrHonigberg]

Totally committed performance. Wonderful playing.

[@patrickloiseleur]

Wonderful performance, and what a great piece ! So dark and expressive. Each player is constantly confronted with its own loneliness and receives the silence as only answer ...

[@RochestersGotTalentbyPaulRefic]

well done

[@augustusmccormick4467]

Emileigh I love your cello! You all really capture the soul of this piece.

[@franciscocarlos1979]

Também fiquei impressionado com a moça do cello.The best.

[@gerardbegni2806]

A very interesting piece in the new style that Penderecki has adopted after his experimental time. The importance of soli is exciting.

[@Choongulrich]

BRAVO!!!

[@bloomworks]

[@PeterPJohn]

Wenting Kang an absolute master on viola, das geschmeidigste String instrument with the widest emotional resonance

[@franciscocarlos1979]

Que coisa hein!Execução arrebatadora,estupenda.Esta moça do cello é brincadeira.As 3 são de amargar hein.

[@davidemoro7446]

WOW.

[@HeyKing91]

Love the cellist! Never heard this piece before, it's an odd combination of his 1960s stuff and his romantic-y stuff.

[@kuang-licheng402]

good

[@UrbFOSHO]

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

the musicians must understand it: expressionism = expression.

[@JafuetTheSame]

is this just transcribed symphony no3?

[@afarcrymusic]

I believe Penderecki's Sinfonietta No. 1 for Strings (1992) is an arrangement of this string trio (1991)

[@JafuetTheSame]

@@afarcrymusic which sounds like transcription of one of his symphonies (note by note in some parts almost) no3 i believe

[@afarcrymusic]

@@JafuetTheSame So cool! I will take a listen today - thanks for the fun fact :)

[@JafuetTheSame]

@@afarcrymusic np, tell me if i'm right :D otherwise it may be symphony no4

[@LendallPitts]

A few pieces of P's work for me, but this one largely doesn't. It strikes me as a pastiche of fairly retro musical gestures strung together.

[@nakedmambo]

Have to say I agree with lendall. There's not much new here. It feels derivative of works like Ginastera's concerto for strings, similar phrases and also silences. It's not a bad work, but it's got a 'been done' feel to it.

[@carlomarcelito]

Immaculate-/.?:$;$;!:&;!.838 fine

[@NurseryTheBand]

Performers have reached God status

[@Rickriquinho]

This is so ridiculously poor! Well, now let's listen to real music full of beauty, energy and good ideas composed by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven...

[@Kwert]

This is a comment that is strikingly full of ignorance. You can feel free to stick to traditionalist ideas of beauty and contribute further to the stagnation of this artform, or you can try and approach something like this with an open mind.

[@Rickriquinho]

This is criticism. To accept everything is easy…

[@Kwert]

There is a difference between being critical, and heavily implying that this is not "real music", and contains no "good ideas".

[@airymountain]

An option is to admit that one does not appreciate or understand, and to hope and to strive to come to appreciate and to understand, rather than to condemn what one does not understand.

[@chrissahar2014]

I don't care for this piece simply because I don't think the ideas are that interesting --- at least for me. I wish Penderecki took what I think he thought was finished and placed in a drawer and forgot about it for a few months. I think he would have realized the piece was somewhat underdeveloped in its ideas or a bit trite --- some of this simply sounds like 2nd or 3rd rate Bartok. Of course is this supposed to be a parody in both the old and modern sense of the Bartok style then it is a successful piece although I again don't like it --- if this is the case, then it is a matter of my tastes differ from many responses here.
