Bedrich Smetana - Ma Vlast (Antoni Wit)

The second of the series, which includes 6 symphonic poems titled My Homeland (Má Vlast), is named after the "Moldau" river. This river originates in the Bohemian forests and travels throughout the Czech Republic. Smetana reflected the conversation of two instruments, which symbolize her gushing from two hot and cold springs at the time of her birth, with a flute and a clarinet. Then we set out to listen to the journey of the Moldau River with this lace-like tune: the chilling setting of the Bohemian forests, the flow of the river across a wide plain, the witness of a village wedding, the dance of nymphs in the moonlight, a hunting scene, the splendor of Prague Castle are illustrated in turn. Eventually the river will meet the Elbe and the waters will embrace each other. This legendary work appeared in 1874, when the composer was completely deaf.
"I have illustrated my life with sounds," says Smetana.

One of the world's most famous orchestra conductors. Music virtuosity, which started with playing the piano, continues with the conducting of the orchestra. Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is synonymous with him.
"Herbert von Karajan" born in Austria.
No words to his music, his talent! ..
But...
The conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra between 1938 and 1945, under Hitler ...
He became a member of the Nazi Party in Germany in 1933, and whenever Hitler wishes, he conducts concerts in Hitler's presence.
When Hitler is defeated, he is charged with "collaborating with fascists". He is acquitted in court.
But...
"When he goes to America in 1955 to give a concert, the American public protests him badly."
What kind of protest? ..
"Nobody goes to his concert, very, very few tickets are sold, the big hall is empty! .."
Even though he was conducting the orchestra in various cities in the following years, he could never erase the "fascism label" attached to him until his death, like the traces of the empty hall in America.

In 1936, military fascist forces under the command of General Franco, supported by Hitler and Mussolini in Spain, rose against the "People's Front" coalition of the socialists who came to power through the election. Spain was dragged into a bloody, terrible civil war in front of the eyes of the world…
The blind maestro, in 1939, "Concierto de Aranjuez", which he wrote to his wife Victoria (Turkish Pianist Victoria Kamhi) in chapters, described this war.
The concerto voiced the civil war that killed 600 thousand people, the hopeful enthusiasm of the revolutionaries who resisted fascism on the fronts, and the suffering and persecution of the dictator Franco, who took over the administration!

This 27:57 minute long virtuoso impossibility fails b/c it repeats his angry phrases over & over & over. It probably took the pianist years to learn, but how unnerving emotionally it must have been!
Only SAM would pick it to fill time, methinks. If anyone cares to disagree, I'd love to hear about it!

Franz Schubert - Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 3, 5 & 8 (Northern Sinfonia, Ulster Orchestra)
|
| Unfinished Symphonies |
|
|
Some of theunfinishedsymphonies in music history are incomplete because the composer's lifetime is not enough, and some of the composers have not been completed because their compelling power has runout. The most famous one is Schubert's eighth "Unfinished Symphony". It is said that he chooses not to write the next chapters, since the first two chapters can not find the fairies equivalent to the glory. However, later he composes a huge ninth symphony.
There are many incomplete symphonies in the history of music. Some composers also avoided completing their 9th symphony, because there was an example of Beethoven who died after his 9th symphony. For example, Mahler does not number his 9th symphony with this fear, he calls it "The Song of the Land", but he also dies while writing the 10th symphony!
it is interesting, is not it?
