YouTube: the thread for interesting video links

Horacio Vaggione is a new name for me, thanks.

Vinko Globokar has a fair presence on YouTube, certainly fuller than is the case with Hespos.

Horacio Vaggione is a new name for me, thanks.

I don't think his work gets much notice outside electroacoustic music circles, although within such circles his music and theoretical ideas have become highly influential since the 1990s.

Are there any Globokar pieces on YouTube you particularly like, John? I don't know most of the stuff posted there, and the ones I do know aren't my favourites, apart from Ausstrahlungen.

I like Eisenberg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKvmi5VJY8g

There's nothing I can find of Globokar improvising with others ... what are your favorites not on YouTube?

There's all the New Phonic Art material to begin with - Globokar's Correspondences plus the group improvisations; and the solo pieces Res/As/Ex/Inspirer (I think I have the prefixes in the right order!) and Voix instrumentalisée. In general I don't like his large-scale pieces so much, they seem a bit too sprawly. I don't know the recording of Eisenberg although I've heard it in concert a couple of times and thought it depended too much on stereotyped musical gestures - a section consisting of scales, another consisting of glissandi, and so on. (The first part of Engel der Geschichte, which I hadn't heard at all before, seemed to me to embody the same kind of problem, but I haven't had time to listen to the rest yet.)

Here's a Xenakis piece I'd read about but hadn't heard before finding it on YouTube: Nyuyo for flute and three guitars, originally written in 1993 for traditional Japanese instruments and later transcribed for Western instruments with the help of the late flautist Cécile Daroux. I don't think it would be easy to guess the composer if you didn't know, but once you do know it makes perfect sense. I wonder if there's a recording of the original version anywhere.

[Op. XXXIX]

A treat for any Elgarian:

the video in the first link [the Beethoven] is the most convincing case i know for the very idea of a united Europe ...

My last YouTube discovery was Brahms : Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, op. 25 performed by Kyung-Wha Chung(violin), Maxim Rysanov (viola), Myung-Wha Chung (cello), Peter Frankl (piano).

I like it very much!
But for a great pity there's still no video for my another discovery, the disk that I've found about a month ago at onyxclassics and which is the record of Beethoven's compositions performed by Maxim Rysanov, Kristina Blaumane and Jacob Katsnelson.

Brahms

Not exactly "new music" though, is it?

Here's something I've been coming back to repeatedly after hearing it for the first time a few days ago - Stockhausen's Erwachen ("Awakening") for trumpet, soprano sax and cello from 2007, one of his very last completed pieces:

It's a very strange thing. I wonder to myself whether I'd be able to guess the composer if I didn't already know.

[Domeyhead]

To keep the ball rolling: I mentioned this on the Boulez thread, but here's Bruno Maderna's 1966 piece Stele per Diotima, from the CD (which I recommend) conducted by Arturo Tamayo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNx7Bw3cJE0

An astonishing piece I think.

I enjoyed this piece - because the silence or pause allows me just enough time to digest each preceding sound. It also seems to expand the space in which the sound exists. Very subjective of course, and probably not so enjoyable while driving on the motorway!

Salvatore Sciarrino's Studi per l'Intonazione del Mare

Snap! I played this a couple of days ago, having recently bought the Stradivarius CD: beautiful, haunting piece.

Genuine stereo too!

With great fondness I'm 'bumping' this useful thread created by the much-missed Chris Newman for those who find pieces of interest on youtube and want to share them with friends.

This is a lovely performance from 2010 of Chopin's Krakowiak played by Nelson Goerner on an Erard piano (Erard 1849; número de serie 21118) accompanied by Orquesta del Siglo XVIII, director: Frans Brüggen - yes Frans Brüggen in Chopin

Gould, Menuhin and Schoenberg. Wanting more would be greedy !
