Mascagni's 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement. Though it has been stated and restated ad nauseam that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is highly inaccurate: L'Amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres; in fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender).
Mascagni wrote a total of fifteen operas, plus an operetta, several beautiful orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed amazing success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor. If he never repeated the public success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in Mascagni's operas -- the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the Asian flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates L'Amico Fritz, the French hues in Isabeau, the steely, Verismo quality of Il Piccolo Marat -- demonstrate a versatility that none of the other Veristi could boast, Puccini included.

Древо судеб.
- Есть и в Аватаре. ;-)
Это трон из поверженных врагов, которые приходят новые оставляя что-то.
На Ангельском это 'Синее ложе' на котором может лежать или сидеть лишь Бог войн.
Синее с серебром отображает его чистоту и неуязвимость на фоне крайней беспощадности.
- Так-то!
;-)
Характер войн, их прохождения, схож с током субстантов в дереве.
- Так просто.
Не так ли?!
;-)

Glinka would have pleased with the sheer enthusiasm and energy of the orchestra. This was the way in which it was intended to be played No holds barred...........Bravo
@kctan71
I actually prefer the speed of this piece in this manner. I've watched and listened many versions of this piece's performance. This is still the best!
@FC-ue1yc
I was never expecting such a fantastic performance by an allegedly "non-professional" orchestra! Liked and shared!
@hlim431
No they are all professionals but the musicians are "freshmen" mostly recruited straight out of conservatory so it's their first jobs. But they had the benefit of being trained by the last student of Georges Enescu (their Maestro) ;-)
@papafrap
I was about 13 when I played this in middle school. The memories... GOOD LUCK.

Extraordinaria interpretación de Ruslan y Ludmila, los invito a escuchar Intermezzo de Cavalleria rusticana de Pietro Mascagni otra gran interpretación de ésta Sinfónica y el mismo Director, es una delicia deleitense.
@swimfan22

@nganir
boy they nailed that, for an all-out prestissimo. very, very professional orchestra and conductor - a real pleasure to watch and hear.

Me ha gustado mucho esa obertura desde siempre (tengo 70 años), y la he escuchado infinidad de veces, con diferentes sinfónicas, con diversos directores y como siempre cada uno le pone su sello personal, pero esta interpretación se me ha hecho MAGNÍFICA, SUPERIOR A MUCHAS DE GRANDES SINFÓNICAS, además lo sorprendente es la edad de todos los músicos, creo que están en una edad muy parecida, y también algo para mi sorprendente es que posiblemente más del 80% son mujeres, INCREÍBLE, MARAVILLOSAS, DESDE QUE ME TOPÉ CON ESTA INTERPRETACIÓN, YA LA HE ESCUCHADO MÁS DE 30 VECES, EXTRAORDINARIO.
Quiero saber donde encuentro más interpretaciones de ésta Sinfónica, por el nombre solo me da lugares de presentación, pero no otras interpretaciones de música clásica; FELICIDADES A QUIEN LA ARMÓ Y EDUCÓ PARA EL MUNDO DE LOS QUE NOS GUSTA OÍR MÚSICA CLÁSICA, GRACIAS.

Безупречное исполнение. И главное, почти всё зелёная молодёжь. Танцы на 3:15 угарные. Ударник, безусловно, звезда, затмившая всех, и дирижёра в том числе. У всех сосредоточенные, бесстрастные лица. Он один выдал чуть эмоций и артистизма. Но этого чуть хватило на весь оркестр. Ну просто тащится человек от своей работы...
