Not knowing Radulescu, I won't vote for or aganist (I have the same problem with Tcherepnin and Strauss for example). Is there a sample on Youtube?

R.Strauss: Burleske (Argerich/BPO/Abbado)

http://www.youtube.com/v/4q_zSvns0QY

Argerich in her most electrifying. Watch for the Tristan chord toward the end.

To whoever asked - the Radulescu Concerto is on youtube in 7 parts. Depending on your disposition - if you want something to vote against and would prefer it to be abrasive you'll find plenty to back you up. FOr instance, try the opening of the whole thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK0thKb6nvk 
which I find delightful but which I suppose could be heard as quite intimidating

if you'd like to hear how Radulescu begins to incorporate aspects of Romanian folk music, and how the first movement argument progresses, try the second clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mswdp96FRqU&feature=related
below which one comment reads
[/quote]The entire work is glorious! I find this segment to be particularly illuminating.[/quote]
and this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot4vEC6LTIs&feature=related
is the haunting end of the movement, using Romanian folk music again (a tune used by Bartok too comes in after a few seconds)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekcvt2V-Orc&feature=related
second movement - a doina. Intense, beautiful but strange

However, if you want to like this concerto, perhaps try the very accesible third movement first
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OSjXNHG6n0&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRQ_JXgMNhw&feature=related
FWIW the comments below it are

This has a recognizable subject, pulse and rhythms which he develops. The other movements moved me more and made a considerable impression. First movement hooked me. This is seems to even hav a principal subject.I love the orchestration. Fabulous Worth many listens it gets better . This movement is really special! I will definitely remember this composer!

Love this movement after the turbulent and sombre feel of the previous two.

neoclassicism on acid, and without the irony, brilliant writing

and

...and love the re-introduction of the foreboding, conflicting undercurrent around the 4-minute mark. Great stuff. Parts of it remind me of the Turangalila Symphony for some reason - perhaps because of the grandeur of the orchestral writing.

and the last movement, hieratic and dissonant in a similar way to the first.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQkX4qBG2n4&feature=related

comments are

quite original in use of piano, lack of obvious technical difficulty, relatively spare use of passages that actually feature piano, wonderful sense of rhythm also

This is great imaginative stuff.And I can actually make sense of it. His style has something very old-fashioned about it .It feels like a narrative it goes forward.So many contemporaries go unusual using exciting new techniques The orchestration is impressive! .The form obvious for the listener . This is a type of neo-expressionist . It even sounds tonal ,the clusters rhythms everything feels familiar here. I like this composer very much can't wait to hear the piano sonata. [I'd add - the Lao Tzu sonatas of Radulescu are finer still, the best piano sonatas of the last few decades IMO]

What a great piece of music! Its vastness and almost continuous flow reminds me (for some reason!) of the 2nd piano concerto by Kevin Volans, though their compositional techniques are quite different.

Thanks for posting this gem.

I'm pretty certain that many will not like this piece at all, but perhaps some of you will. As I say, if you aren't sure, start with the third movement.

[Luke]

I don't care for the Ireland ...

How could one not? It's an adorable piece! Ah well...   

(and yes, I know that I've just posted the Radulescu and described that in positive terms too - the Ireland, to those who don't know it, is nothing like the Radulescu!!!    IMO, as I've said before, Ireland is the British equivalent of Ravel, though with his own very personal, inimitable style)

[Amfortas]

I fully expect you to continue voting down the Copland

Listening to the Copland again right now, such a beautiful piece 

[Luke]

Yeh, it is one of many 20th C. British pieces that don't do anything for me.  I fully expect you to continue voting down the Copland, as you did with the Gershwin - so maybe there is some kind of subconscious reciprocal anti-Yank:anti-Anglo nationalism at work.

Oh no, you may have your anti-Anglo thing, meanwhile I will continue to plan on putting the Lou Harrison concerto on the list next...  0:)

Re the Gershwin - I love many things about it, but I don't consider it great. Too clunky, IMO.
Re the Copland - hes justa composer who has never done a thing for me. My loss, as I've said many times here before.

[Luke]

Oh I don't know if I have a full-fledged anti-Anglo thing       but aside from American composers the only national school (if such a thing exists) I seem to uniformly love would be  the French.  I seem to gravitate to works with compact gestures, transparent scoring and a certain wit and acerbic quality, all of which I hear in many French and American composers.  Aside from the Viennese schools, most Germans, esp from the 19th century, do not do much for me, too heavy - and the English and Scandinavians, who for some reason sound similar (to me), are a little too nebulously washed-out. 

Aside for the French - it doesn't matter where a composer is from if he has those qualities I mentioned above.

You see, it's odd, because I hear those things in Ireland, and in the Piano Concerto. It's not for nothing that I relate him to Ravel, see - and Ravel is a composer I feel deeply passionate about and whose every note I know inside out. Ireland has many extremely close similarities to Ravel (much more so than other more superficially Frenchified British composers IMO), and in the concerto we find quite a few of them. It's a taut piece, full of bright colour and even a heavy hint of the jazz influences we also see in Ravel's Concerto in G (not the same varieties of jazz, mind you). What I love about Ireland is that using such similar ingredients to Ravel he forged a different and totally personal language, though, and the glory of this concerto is, to me, the sublimely poetic slow movement (and its transfigured reprise in the finale) which is utterly Ireland.

Thank you for this. My reaction, having heard a few of the clips, is mixed. It is more dissonant than I like, but it more melodic than some of the others. I don't know that I will vote for it, but I don't plan to vote agaisnt at this point. I think it will take a bit of time to take in.

[Luke]

It isn't just in the concerto that I feel the connection. It is stronger still, much stronger, in other works. The harmonic language of the two really is comparable - Ireland's is rougher, with more bitonality and, indeed, more bite as a basic priciple of his writing, but the fundamental sound, the basic progressions are very often the same. In the same way they both have a very personal series of melodic and rhythmic and textural gestures which they return to often (Ireland's vocabulary of these gestures is more limited than Ravel's, which means he speaks a narrower language, but always sounds himself; the gestures themselves are very different, between the two composers). Like Ravel, Ireland was the most fastidious craftsman, and in later works such as the Sonatina he has done what the best composers (inlcuding Ravel) do - shorn his music of all unnecessary filling and left only the true essence of his thought. It's a small piece, but a perfect one, one that really reminds me of Ravel in many ways....and not just the huge stacks of piled-up thirds which you otherwise only really find in the Valses nobles et sentimentales!

[Luke]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU41-f7UDAA

John McCabe plays the Sonatina. If you know your Piano Concerto you will hear all sorts of gestures from it in the first movement here - the kind of thing I was talking about above. The little chromatic inner part in four falling semiquavers for instance, is found in many of Ireland's piece, and some of the other ideas associated with it here are also found in the concerto in similar form. This only serves to bind Ireland's oeuvre, to me, though it is, looked at differently, a limitation. Anyway, I think this is a really little masterpiece - so restrained and carefully thinned out, yet speaking so deeply at times (the slow movement is remarkable in this respect) . A little gem - I love the way the end of the first movement returns at the end of the last movement, dressed in the 9/8 hunting call clothes of that movement. A typical touch.

[Luke]

Thanks, Leon. No, you are right, that is one of his more mind-over-heart scores (and in this as well as in its very linear, compact, motivically strict nature and in its bitonality it specifically reminds me of Ravel's late Duo Sonata) Personally I find both of these works moving precisely because of their restraint - I find the slow movement of the Ireland the more compelling because it says so much with so little.  But I agree with your diagnosis. For Ireland with heart, well, the slow movement of the concerto you know already, and that's a very heartfelt piece of music. I'd also recommend the cello sonata, which I think is a fabulous piece of music. There's a youtube of it (maybe more than one) which I can't track down right now because my computer is playing up!

Question to Luke--some of your votes make sense to me in context of what you've said here and your other votes.  But I've noticed that you consistently voted  against Villa Lobos here and Penderecki in the Chamber Works thread, which doesn't make sense to me, given what else you seem to like.  May I ask why?
