WHAT a trombone section at 5:35!! Absolutely splendid playing and immaculate intonation.

Slatkin is one of our best conductors, and this live performance sizzles from first note to last. Thank you for posting it!

I love the opening of the Passacaglia, whose theme is introduced in what sounds like a canon, with each voice entering a 1/2 step higher.

I hadn't listened to it in a long time. A friend recently showed me a letter to the editor from 1981 when the Seattle Symphony played it. Complained about modern, dissonant music driving away listeners - This?

The 3d is really a neo-classical work in the mode of Piston or Creston. Later works are a lot more grinding. Interestingly, I have season tix for SSO, and don't recall the last time they played the 3d, or really any of the neo-classical symphonies Schwarz recorded with them. I think the Seattle crowd these days would enjoy some of these gems.

This symphony was composed in 1941. I wasn't even born then.

Nice to have a good video of this, since the Other Leonard never filmed his well-known interpretation.

Yet another "thank you for posting this". Living in the DC area I had the opportunity to see Mr. Slatkin conduct the NSO. I especially enjoyed his conversations and introductions to the audiences to give them an idea and appreciation as to what they were about to hear and witness. This is a thrilling symphony and now that my wife has given me a collection of Prokofiev symphonies, I feel safe to put my Schuman 3rd CD over our Magnapans. My wife is mostly a 3-B`s kind of listener, so I think her traditional ears might be able to handle the contemporary, rather disjunct melodies and chordal movements. I put on "Pacific 231" this evening and she didn`t go screaming from the house unto the night! [P.S. Isn`t the bass clarinetist incredible!]

Milton Babbitt is greatest American musician of the 20th century, having absorbed the European avant-garde hook line and sinker and pushing music to the point that it is something computers can make. Very American in its efficiency and optimism in the future.

Bursting with energy. And dare I say a certain masculinity. One of my favorite "modernist" composers some 30 years ago. I have moved on to mostly serial compositions. I must say that every country has a batch of homegrown artists who may in the big picture be only of the second rank but nevertheless by virtue of their Nationalism can never be ignored. Mr. Schuman along with Mr. Harris are to America just such composers. Perhaps not of the ilk of Carter or Babbitt the world around but oh so close.
@psijicassassin7166 Жыл бұрын
Serial music derailed American composers exploring their country's cultural potential and instead they became enslaved to the charms of computer-generatable music. Weak-minded composers.
@bigmandrel Жыл бұрын
@@psijicassassin7166 Ouch! A bit harsh, but I agree in principle. Question though: Does this country have cultural potential. And if so, who determines that?
@stueystuey1962 Жыл бұрын
Oh no no no no; always polemics and always what came before is better. Not so. This is a great symphony. Serialism derailed nothing. The path taken by EC, Babbitt and others had nothing to do with computer generated anything. It was a path of genius and I am thankful. Carter's string quartet #1 is not only a work of staggering genius but an expansion, absorption, sublimation, of everything that had come before. This is literally masculine in the sense of manly, but secuular. EC and a couple others ascended to the heavens. Harris and Copland and this composer remained earth bound.
