Witold Maliszewski - Symphony No.1 in G-minor, Op.8 (1902)

[@viniciodecheco3433]

Bellísimo,un desborde exhuberante de hermosos acordes,armonías,melodías,timbres y sonoridades que acarician el oído,llevándonos a excelsas,y embelesadoras regiones del espíritu...como se extraña esta grandiosa y colorida...GRAN MÚSICA...

If you are one of millions of fans who wish there were more Russian composers, here is a Polish composer who follows that wonderful school of music. Though Poland was occupied by Russia at the time, the fascination with and attraction to Russian composers' music was not limited to fellow Polish composers, who shared Slavic heritage with Russian culture, but extended to as far away as English and Flemish composers as well as Scandinavians. Maliszewski's style in this symphony falls somewhere between the composition styles of Glazunov, Borodin and Gliere. This symphony has a robust structure and beautiful melodies with a heart-warming Andante and a mischievous Scherzo; Russian Style.

Abe Shahrodi -- Exactly: "Maliszewski's style in this symphony falls somewhere between the composition styles of Glazunov, Borodin and Gliere...." BRAVO from San Agustinillo!

[@raulfranco7452]

From the Gliere style?? That is a mystery because Gliere did not existed at that time.

[@abe_48]

​@@raulfranco7452 There is no mystery if you check that Gliere (1875-1956) and Maliszewski (1873-1943) were contemporaries. It does not mean they copied from each other but rather their compositions were similar to the wonderful musical style of the time as practiced by composers such as Glazunov, Kalinnikov, Arensky, Cui, Balakirev; different from the later style of composers such as Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.

[@hectorbarrionuevo6034]

Agree with all the encouraging comments on this late-Romantic Symphony: great energy, lyricism, and color !!!

[@redfishplayz4476]

I think this piece Sounds very polish Energy But with lyricism

[@adamzbyszewski4779]

To annotate the biographical information. Yes, Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Могилів-Подільський) is in Ukraine, but in the 19th century it was a former Polish town occupied by imperial Russia. It was called Mohylów Podolski. Maliszewski, a Pole whose family had likely lived there for centuries, was therefore born in his homeland occupied by foreign invaders. A lot of my ancestors also lived in what is now the independent Republic of Ukraine. The 19th century was the most tragic century in Polish history: the previously grand country was erased from the maps.

[@Stepnoyvolk15]

Могилёв с 1793 года в составе России. А до этого этот украинский город был пол властью Речи Посполитой. Но польским по населению он не был.

[@j.l.callison1837]

I don't know how I missed this one. My loss! Lovely piece.

[@darrylschultz6479]

As long as you don't miss "Eugen Cicero-Exercise". Without a doubt, the world's greatest(short)piece, combining as it does the worlds of classical and jazz in an inimitable 3-and-a-half minutes of truly transcendental magic!

[@shishirth]

This symphony has much that is inspiring and the Scherzo is especially brilliant

[@user-ru8vy1uz7c]

Bravo bravo bravo brilliance grandiose fantastic music symphony super wow

[@bugatti103]

v v nice late romantic... should get more plays than the same old thngs we hear over and over. bravo!!

[@na3044]

Love the Scherzo.

[@cycloptical26]

Andante is gorgeous!

[@georgewilson3989]

Great music, thank you!

That got the blood pumping! Thanks!

[@bernagar0656]

Excellent symphony, friend Kuhlau. Thanks

[@johnpugh3348]

A wonderful work

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

This is an excellent piece of work. It compares well with the first three symphonies of Tchaikovsky, but not the last three.

[@smijification]

Thank you for posting this. Please note my replies to Ken Gifford and vetlerradio (re comment by Peter Buckley . . .)

Magnífica obra para una coreografía, pasajes que recuerdadn aTchaikovski

[@12corners]

With an amazing end!

[@smijification]

Agreed! Very exciting and fast.

[@obduliorincon6112]

Music and image merge causing a cozy hypnotic effect. 🎧

[@philhomes233]

Yes, this Symphony does sound a little 'Russian' but it's none the worse for that. An engaging piece.

[@gaivotaman1]

Excellent music, with to my opinion a great russian influence which reminds me of Borodin!

[@darrylschultz9311]

Yeah,Witold ya he was Borodin themes from lotsa composers!

[@kuang-licheng402]

rare piece

KuhlauDilfeng2 Could you provide literature on these late romantics and neo romantic composers It appears the Nordic people and slavs were writing great music in this genre

[@baxtermason6909]

...the 4th movement definitely had Borodin's influence...perhaps I did detect a couple of fallen arches...;-)

[@MegaCirse]

Au-delà des anarchies, Maliszewski dénonce l’ordre apparent et les paradoxes d'un monde insensible. Spirituel, sensoriel et rebelle, ce poète dévoile des impostures secrètes, explore des jouissances sereines, un monde de rêves resurgissants !!!

[@steveegallo3384]

D'accord....On peut se débrouiller, quoi qu'on puisse dire! Bon soirée de Mèxique.....

A vécu en même temps que Rudolf Steiner. Je me demande s'ils savaient qui ils étaient, car ils semblent être des esprits apparentés. (Google English to French)

@@DaughterofAlbion I needed a palate cleanser after listening to Gorecki's Symphony No. 3. He just nails the sound of sadness right from the very start, and it made me very pensive. I highly recomend you give that a listen, sometime.

He certainly makes you wait for the second theme (2 mins?)

Bardzo przykre. Kilkanaście osób wymienia się sensownymi uwagami na temat symfonii polskiego kompozytora, a jedyne polskie wpisy w liczbie dwóch - albo bez sensu, albo na dodatek chamskie. Daj chłopu zegarek...
