Sviatoslav Richter plays Poulenc - Aubade, Concerto choréographique for Piano and 18 Instruments

[@BoomerRaid]

Such powerful and intense interpretation. It's as he composed it himself. Unbelievable sensitivity in the adagios, and that ending is out of this world...

[@wardropper]

Thank heaven for Richter. I saw him play live twice, and have believed in miracles ever since.

good for you !

This song is really nostalgic... Even though I have never heard it before, just the emotion reminds me of the past. What a wonderful song and performance. Thanks for the upload truecrypt.

[@ondinehd6889]

A "song?" It's a "piece," not a song, which Poulenc himself described as a "choreographic concerto," although nowadays it is simply considered a piano concerto.

Masterful performance by a one of a kind legend

[@agliso]

Perfektní provedení, jako vždy se Sv. Richtěrem. Skladbu sice neznám, ale je to zajímavé- musím si ji poslechnout víckrát. Děkuji za upozornění na toto video

[@msck6114]

I really enjoyed this. I heard it for the first time, just now. Thank you for posting truecrypt!

[@JesseBFournier]

Whatever you call it, it's great.

One of the few composers to make it through my resistance to late 20th century classical music. Poulenc's music is always humorous and pleasant, but complex enough not to be dismissed as lightweight. A balance of elements difficult to acheive.

[@Renee2004lr]

Considering that Poulenc died in early 1963, he could hardly be considered "late 20th century classical music." His music was also more conservative than, say, Honegger.

Чудо музыка, чудо -игра!

[@MuseDuCafe]

What a find! Any clue as to the rest of the band and the conductor would be welcome. What a treat to have Richter in this wonderful Poulenc piece. Thank you!

[@Nemesi]

Wow! Thank you for the upload!

[@BearAZ]

The opening Toccata is breathtakingly fast. Richter truly had "automatic weapon wrists." ! Simply amazing.

[@konstantinoupianist]

Чудо - Ф.Пуленк - С.Рихтер !!!

[@gkollias14]

No, Richter played everything that his heart wanted.

[@richterkleiber]

Brilliant recording-but why put the ads?

[@hautboisjj]

Google says Jean-François Paillard Chamber Orchestra from 1965

[@c.g.marseille4510]

alles is er in : ... geheimzinnigheid, sprookjes vertellen, heel veel verrassingen like Haydn, en dus....héérlijke muziek !

[@brkahn]

Who are the other interpreters?

[@MrGolovetskiy]

Yes...

[@VaghoPianist]

true

[@friulano]

Why do they call this music a "song"? This is not a song!

[@wardropper]

Americans call everything a song or a number. Brits call a piece of serious music a piece or a work, and reserve the word, "song" for a piece, serious or otherwise, which is literally sung by a singer.

[@MrPLEASESQUEEZEME]

I take issue...most Americans know better.

[@zinam5795]

Это специфика языка.....мое мнение.

[@maestrojimbo]

If someone refers to a composition as a "song" ( regardless of what country) I assume they are children, someone who has never studied music with a competent teacher, or someone who has never studied music.

[@横山恵美-e2n]

グールドが弾いてたやつだ

[@SozialismusIstRuine]

ok

[@alexandrebeauharnais6849]

I would like to express my opinion to the great Mr. Richter, but I think it would be better not to play the last note of this work so strongly.
