YOSHIMATSU : Symphony No.6 “Birds and Angels”, Maestro Kimbo ISHII with New Japan Philharmonic

[@mrturtle1128]

I really wish there will be more live recordings of Yoshimatsu symphonies, they defo something worth celebrating.

[@milesgilbertpiano]

I’d imagine his music is rather strenuous to prepare and perform, because of all the time changes you see in the music and stuff life that. But yes I agree

[@TheyBenefit]

I wish I could see one in person but contemporary composers, especially Japanese ones, are hardly played in the West

[@megalomaniacko1]

I NEED SYMPHONY 3 AND 5 PLEASE, YOSHIMATSU PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD!!!!!!

[@Brassman388]

Love the tribute to Tchaikovsky.

[@michaelfischer5800]

So glad! The first of Yoshimatsu`s six wonderful symphonies in a live version on YT - and the Maestro (69 years old) is in the audiance. But I recommend the absolute perfect studio version with the BBC Philharmonic, it is better balanced, especially the trombone, which is very special. 25:30 In the Adagio you hear a brief quotation of the Lamento from another sixth symphony - however not so complicated written as by Tchaikovsky himself (In his fifth Yoshimatsu quotes the beginning of another famous fifth. Guess). If you just now discovered this phantastic composer, you will have much pleasure with the other five symphonies and a lot of brilliant concertos. After that try Akutagawa!

[@AzzayaSukhbaatar]

Beautiful performance 🤍🙏

追記 この曲は、シベリウス、チャイコフスキー、ショスタコーヴィチの各6番のシンフォニーのオマージュが流れます。 マジで名曲です。

[@moonchild7862]

太完美了

[@platypus5393]

すごく良かったです！ 感動しました🥺 フルートとオーボエとクラリネットの三人がオカリナを吹いてる姿がシビレた😄 あとおもちゃのピアノ🎹 シベリウスとチャイコフスキーのところは弦が堂々としていて良かった。美しい。 ベートーヴェンはもう少し前景に浮かせて欲しかったかな。 あと鳥の鳴き声みたいな楽器はもう少しアップで映して欲しかったな。

[@massanosa]

yoshimatsu is brilliant!!! thank you for the introduction. 🏹

[@hypercoree974]

Maybe Yoshimastu actually work on his 7th symphony.

[@unslept_em]

i hope we see it, though i understand he retired in 2015, so anything further would depend on his whims as a composer.

[@michelprezman51]

Bravo what a music!

[@ウエフビー]

普通、交響曲で鬼門て言ったら9番なんだけど、この人はたしか7番なんだよな。ベートーヴェンではなく、シベリウスなんだ、たしか。 7番さえ作曲しちゃえば、吹っ切れてその後もいけるのに…。 いつまでも待っております。CDほとんど持っております。

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

I found myself listening to the entire piece so it must have been good since I have little tolerance for the mediocre. This was a well blended admixture of a variety of my favorite styles. Even the Tchaikovsky excerpt fit in perfectly.

[@acid7333]

If you have little tolerance for the mediocre, would you mind telling me what your favourite pieces are, from the mid to late 20th century? I don’t want to sound aggressive, I’m just listening to Rautavaara and Arvo Pärt a lot and would like some more inspiration :).

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Music is a very personal thing, a compact between the composer and the listener, so it does not matter what I like, it is your life, your ears, and your taste. Enjoy whatever strikes your fancy. @@acid7333

[@audunstolpe7408]

"I listened to all of it so it must be good"? In my opinion this is reasonably creative, pleasant music. Nothing earth shattering. Not bad, not good.

[@audunstolpe7408]

Actually, I dont like it. Its kitsch.

[@moonchild7862]

日本真的厉害

[@gabriellebertrand3054]

I hear Tarantella in this piece

[@magicyang8594]

你说它深刻吧，它是简约秀气的动机大拼凑；你说它不深刻吧，它又有强烈的形而上的气质；东方人肯沉静下来搞声响趣味还是很有文化优势的，曲子听感上聪明伶俐，可听性强，吉松隆把德彪西那套色彩的手法搞通透了，甚至用做减法的方式给突破了，很多地方我都能找到原曲，但又不忍心说他是抄袭，因为安排的很巧妙，算优质的致敬吧，听完有寄蜉蝣于天地，缈沧海之一粟之感，精神上哀恸又富有生命力。小品气质的交响乐到底是好还是不好呢？管那么多呢，作为观众来讲，音乐史的理论囚笼是禁锢体验的。吉松隆+1，感谢新日本爱乐的奉献--来自中国的敬意。

[@DaiwenZhang166]

点赞，同样是来自中国的吉松隆听众

[@KinkyLettuce]

我唯一要批評的話 就是他幾乎每一首曲目都太相似 就是不停重複回收他那幾個idea 優秀作曲家的曲目會給你展示多年來的變化，自我突破 但吉松隆從80年代開始技法成熟後的所有曲目都沒有任何轉變

[@magicyang8594]

@@KinkyLettuce 哈哈，这位朋友，我们的感觉是很相似的！知音+1
