karelm 2587 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I am very much enjoying listening to this monstrosity, Scriabin's Mysterium. I was at the premiere of this by Ashkenazy with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and was deeply moved by the luxurious sonorities of this music. Basically, something like a three hour long version of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Schoenberg's Peallis und Melisande with some Szymanowski Song of the Night (Symphony No.3) mixed in. Yes it is excessive but excessively beautiful and powerful too! I prefer the interpretation of part 1 by Kondrashin but the audio quality isn't as good.

karelm 2587 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I want to give a shout out to Ernest Moeran's Symphony in g min. It is a wonderful combination of Vaughan Williams modality plus Ravelian color (or colour as the Brits say) with more than a touch of Sibeliun mythos thrown in:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIKTwMcn1xPPr8zGaDyyIrR9R3SDNMLXQ(do listen to the entire work though it is too bad it is split across 7 links!)

karelm 2587 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I am a long time fan of the Czech composer, Vítězslav Novák (1870-1949). He nicely fills the void left after Janacek and has extremely refined structure in his music. For example, his tone poem, Lady Godiva, op. 41 (I'm sorry but can't find it on youtube though it is on spotify) is a perfect blend of Richard Straussian and Ravel luxurious sonorities but has a Germanic structural integrity which I adore. Think Richard Strauss meets Dvorak. A very fine introduction to his music is this excellent CD: http://www.amazon.com/Lady-Godiva-Profundis-Toman-Nymph/dp/B00004TD53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2587 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I really like this CD of Vincent d'Indy: It is a mystical nature poem but inhabits a soundworld that is somewhat similar to Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 (the icy opening adagio) and Germanic/post Ravelian impressionism such as Karol Szymanowski's Symphony No. 3. Note this is in three movements and only mvnt 1 is in the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBard 71 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 First encountered this piece in my Music of Latin America class back in my days at Uni. Always fun to listen to with the way that Revueltas creates that constant slithering feeling with the bass clarinet and pitched drums.

Sharkissimo 1971 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Love Revueltas. I'm convinced he's one of Alex North and by proxy Jerry Goldsmith's biggest (yet strangely ignored) influences. No other composer (maybe except Varèse) depicts the desert better. Mirages, scorpions, parched mouth, La Calavera Catrina, delerium, death.

RedBard 71 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Well, it's ultimately speculation that Revueltas was an influence on Goldmisth. He's only gone on record stating that Stravinsky, Copland, Rózsa, Herrmann, Bartók, and Berg were his biggest influences.But now you've piqued my curiosity. What tell-tale signs in Goldsmith's work leads you to believe that Revueltas was his biggest (yet strangely ignored) influence? (i.e. which stylistic techniques do Revueltas and Goldmith have in common, and which scores can I find this in?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1971 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Well, it's ultimately speculation that Revueltas was an influence on Goldmisth.I meant Alex North--who's own sound (distilling a number of influences including Revueltas, Ellington, DSH, Copeland and others) influenced Goldsmith. In general I'm talking of Goldsmith's 60s and 70s sound (which is far from uniform, I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
