Underbart! ❤❤❤

I just read an article about Esa-Pekka Salonen in the New York Times on August 18, 2024 and told my Finnish friend about it. She told me to see this, which she sang in. What an incredible triumph! The filming of this concert was outstanding. Wow!

Oh, hell yeah 🤘

:)

Absolutely the fantastic music, full of fantasy, colors, inspirations!!!!!

Skojigt stycke! Mycket roligt att lyssna på. 🤗

Mycket charmigt!

❤ Excellent

Some of this is somewhat pleasant to listen to. A lot of it is more of the usual weird modern stuff you have to sit through in order to get to the real music programmed for that night’s concert. I’m happy for Salonen that all the other commenters like this piece (the story of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” comes to mind) but for me and the majority of listeners (whether they’ll admit it or not) it’s a waste of time in the concert hall waiting for the next piece. Notice the modern stuff is always programmed at the beginning or the middle of concert programs, never at the end when people who know better can leave and avoid the new, supposedly cutting-edge stuff

Magnificent!!!

Really enjoyed the color palette and melodic elements of this work, Awesome!

4:11

Någonstans där bak sitter jag och spelar horn!

Mäktigt! ❤

Nice.

Wow, cool piece!

I should put this in my brain next to La mer and Become Ocean.

In paradisum deducant te angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem. "May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem. May choirs of angels receive you and with Lazarus, once (a) poor (man), may you have eternal rest."

Some of this piece reminds me of music from Charles Koechlin; not just the name but the way he uses the words and percussion.

Angelic. What is the best way to get a hold of the score for potential performance? I want to pass this on to a few choral conductor colleagues.

superior composition!

quite good...

quite good...

Amazing!

I heard Nyx in SF...this is not NYX...but then nothing is

Writing a full symphony is no easy achievement. Good on ya! I love the imagery you have selected for each movement. There are parts of the second movement that remind me of Lovecraftian horror in a way. You write very descriptive passages and your explosive moments are remarkable.

Magnificent and brilliant! I wish I could discuss this piece with him, to hear the background story.

Salonen is nothing less than brilliant and magical. He is the finest composer/conductor of his time.

What happens when Rite of Spring meets La Mer? Well...

22:28 Oof, nice chords!

beautiful, sad, thrilling and yet accompanied with an unrelenting hopeless desperation. Amazing how Salonen's encaptures such emotions from a Dada poem with no meaning. I'm moved every time I hear this second movement.

Vackert!

😂😂😂

Bravissimo!!

Well, that was awesome. An Ethereal collaboration. Was the ensemble, string sextet and organ?

Wow - what a soundscape you have created, so well played by the Helsinki Phil !

Wow. I really like this. Coming at the end of a long work day it is like the sun breaking through the clouds. (13:00) // From Wikipedia (you can read the whole entry there): Composed between January 2013 and July 2014. Salonen decided to connect to Zürich's history, especially Dada's origins in 1916. He wrote, "I settled for the best known Dada poem by Hugo Ball, founder of Dada, author of the Dada Manifesto."

Sounds good.

Snyggt! Gillar du T. Takemitsu?

Hörde den i Norrköping med Stefan Solyom. Fantastiskt stycke!

Esa-Pekka Salonen is one of the greatest composers of our time!

Try listening in double speed! Really funny!

Salonen's sonorities often have this beautiful Stravinskyesqueness about them....

This is a lovely work. In many ways it seems to be a restatement of Images pour Orchestre by Achille-Claude Debussy - the dynamics, the harmonic velocity and acceleration, even the orchestration are all redolent of Debussy. The vignette solos, the light at various times, all very Debussy-esque. But there is not the same understanding of orchestral balance in the louder passages. Debussy was an absolute master - perhaps the greatest ever, even greater than Ravel, at achieving the finest balance from section to section, vertically and horizontally. His understanding of space is a constant source of amazement. Salonen gropes towards a similar space but cannot find it. Debussy was simultaneously a nostalgist and an avant-gardist. The circumstances of Europe before WW1 that gave rise to such immense talents as Karl Kraus, Robert Musil, Debussy, Picasso, and so many others, are unrepeatable. The interstices (the network of lines that interlace, to paraphrase Italo Calvino) in which Salonen finds himself, militate against recuperating such a space. Despite the very understandable urge to rediscover that space. Debussy showed us nature without the window.

Amazing!

GREAT MUSIC !!!

Out of mind ! ! ! ! A vacation ! Go Dada !
