Adolf Wiklund (né le 5 juin 1879 à Långserud dans le comté de Värmland - mort le 2 avril 1950 à Stockholm) est un compositeur et chef d'orchestre suédois.
Biographie
Adolf Wiklund était un compositeur suédois dans le style romantique du xxe siècle. Si ses compositions sont populaires en Suède et font partie du patrimoine, notamment ses trois pièces pour piano et orchestre, compte tenu de plus de soixante-dix œuvres diverses, elles sont moins connues au niveau international. Sa musique suave, mélodieuse s'apparente et rappelle celle de Sergueï Bortkiewicz (1877-1952) dans la structure avec des thèmes nordiques se rapprochant de Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). Passionné pour la musique, à douze ans Adolf Wiklund s'initie au piano et à la composition, stimulé par les encouragements de son frère aîné Victor. Il remporta un franc succès avec sa Romance pour violon et piano. Comme son père, il était organiste et fut en 1901 professeur de musique à Stockholm avant de se consacrer plus tard à la direction d'orchestre à l'Opéra Royal de Suède vers 1923. Auparavant, il avait excellé en tant que soliste (piano) où il put se faire remarquer dans ses débuts, interprétant également à l'époque son premier opus : Morceau de Concert pour piano et orchestre en ut majeur. Il le joua grâce au concours de son professeur de piano, Richard Andersson (ancien élève de Clara Schumann), avec l'actuel Orchestre philharmonique royal de Stockholm (antérieurement l'orchestre du Konsertföreningen), sous la baguette de Tor Aulin (1866-1914) violoniste, chef d'orchestre et compositeur suédois.
Oh my goodness this is glorious! Why doesn’t anyone play this? This is an amazing concerto!
It is so thoughtful and mature.
I find that we are so often told 'what to like' and the public so often go along with this. This concerto is supurb yet it won't be played because concert premoters won't take the risk with anything 'different'. It's the same with the acredited 'greats', Antonin Dvorak is a case in point, he wrote ten operas yet the only one we are ever told to hear is Rusalka. Dvorak himself thought Dimitrij was his best opera and one of the best things he'd ever written, he was right. Supurb as it is this concerto will be left on the shelf with many many other wonderful pieces, and that is one of the most anoying things in all music.
THESE CONCERTHALL BOSSES NEED SACKING AS THEY WELL DESERVE IT FOR BEING USELESS IDIOTIC BORING MORONS.
GIVE THESE CONCERT HALL BOSSES WHO DO NOT SEE BEYOND THE END OF THEIR NOSES THE PUSH AND REPLACE THEM WITH BOSSES WHO WILL DO A FAR BETTER JOB AND PLAY NEGLECTED MUSIC, THAT IS ONLY NEGLECTED THROUGH IDIOTIC USELESS DISDAINFULL CONCERT HALL BOSSES,
I will learn it.
to Graham Lea: What concert hall bosses are after is filling their concerts with paying public. There's the rub: 99.9% of the public are at best vague music lovers who like best re-hearing music they've already heard, and at worst go mostly for the social status. TG for CZcams to counter that boredom just a little!
One can only think that a large part of why this piano concerto is not performed had to do with the unfortunate first name of the composer; shows how one bad apple for a leader can....---_____---/////
Thank you CZcams you are opening our eyes to many lost composers. It is wonderful. I only hope that youtube will never charge a fee for listening to these treasures.
Grazie veramente sono composizioni meravigliose.
It's the people posting, not CZcams.
First heard this piece because of this upload in 2015. Kept returning every since...
Adolf Wiklund is a hidden gem. His dreamy compositions evoke the wonderland in my childhood imagination...

I dream of a world where I can go to a concert at the Philharmonic and listen to Delius and Wiklund in the same night! Honestly, I adore Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky but I am SICK of hearing only them all the time.
Have you ever listened to Vespers, Rachmaninov's amazing sacred vocal work? There's a baritone lead and choir singing a capella.
@@oldones59 of course! One of my favourites EVER.
A very romantic concerto for the year 1907. Hints of Rachmoninoff, Paderweski and early Prokofiev. Great performance.
Yeah... the first notes of it reminds me of Rachmaninoff's No. 4 of Six Moments Musicaux
Agreed on the different inspirations. I also hear some Xaver Scharwenka. Specifically hints of his 2nd Piano Concerto
I feel privileged to be able to be one of the very few people to have listened to this performance. thank you kindly!
@@LazlosPlane 3000 isn't a large number in the age of social media and electronic communication.
@@LazlosPlane it has 91K. It's fair now.
@@republiccooper Do you consider above 110 th. as high enough now for it to be considered popular in the age of pop-pup-music? This number is sure to grow further, which I wouldn't dare say about today's one-day starlets.
@@petersimon5231 hardly. Sad that this great music has such few listeners.
@@republiccooper You should say that, but for pretty much every video on this channel. There may be tens of thousands of views, maybe approaching over 100,000, but very few remember it. I applaud the user for uploading so many obscure composers' music. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
A criminally under-appreciated piece.
A big, big thank you to the various CZcams up-loaders of all these lesser known orchestral and chamber works. Thank you. I simply cannot understand why these (recognisably melodic) works feature so little, if at all, on the international concert repertoire. Which would you prefer to pay good money to see in the Concertgebouw/Albert Hall etc? This present concerto or some torturous unemotional atonal exercise by a modern or contemporary composer?
+Keyboard Dancers Both. But this one first, to make sure I don't miss a "forgotten land" (Britten)
+Keyboard Dancers You're making the mistake of thinking that orchestras, piano soloists, and concert promoters . . . care about music. They don't. Primarily they care about making money in the easiest way they can . . .
+Keyboard Dancers Because art does not live in a vacuum and instead reacts and responds to the world (and other art) around it, and art that imitates instead of responds and questions tends to be forgotten. If you're having trouble digesting more harmonically ambitious music I'd recommend starting with some turn of the century composers and working your way up - Satie, Debussy, Strauss, Mahler, Scriabin, early Schoenberg etc. Your ear will learn how to process sound better and you'll find that a lot of new music isn't atonal at all, it just has a lot going on thats difficult to take in at first. And of course plenty of it is expressive and enjoyable.
+Ali 4325 Ha, I've been playing half of those composers' music you mention for many years on the piano. My question still stands.
Yea I'm not buying that line anymore
What a beautiful romantic piano concerto! Thank you for posting this!
What a wonderful concerto, unknown from me till today! One of the best concerto for piano ever composed!
The andante is a blessed masterpiece itself. This concerto is just one of the most glorious, elegiac, tremendous piano pieces ever written. The orchestra is sublime. Oh, God, what a beauty, what a beauty!!!!!!
Зовсім невідомий автор.Чудовий твір. Велика подяка за можливість чути ці незаслуговано забуті твори.
Thank you original poster, and CZcams, for allowing us to enjoy masterpieces I would have never been able to find myself.
This is a piece that I have listened to countless times, indeed I probably know it backwards!!. A very great concerto.
Beautiful piano concerto. It's romantic, powerful and very melodic. Thanks for posting.
Stupendo,favoloso,un gioiello di concerto di sapore ancora pienamente romantico e incredibilmente sottovalutato come il suo autore.E' colpevole come sia più criticamente conosciuto il concerto del suo connazionale Atterberg, più "progressista" , scritto 20 anni più tardi.
If you are here in 2021 you are a legend!
What an amazing hidden gem of a Concerto... if I could convince an orchestra, I’d love to play this someday!
Quietly absorbing, a surprise standout. And a fine choice of paintings to match
This is wonderful, I love it. Truly delightful and I've listened to it many times. I'm an author and this music has modulated my thoughts and accelerated creativity on numerous occasions. Adolf Wiklund was a great composer. I admire him.
Very love the theme of this concerto, especially 8:53 to 9:36
Lovely! A dense thicket of catchy and heroic themes that put one in mind of Medtner's concertos. As does the harmonic language, and overtly narrational quality. And lots, and lots the textures. Waiddaminute. Medtner's first concerto wasn't published until about, what, some time during the 1st world war, no? [looks up when Medtner published his 1st concerto] ... Nikolai Karlovich? I think we need to have a little talk!
Well, have you talked to him yet ? What was his excuse for being so behind the times ?
@@ChrisBreemer I, too, am interested in the outcome of this interrogation. To be fair, Medtner said he was born 100 years too late, so I don't think he would be bothered by the accusation 😂
18:35 so mysterious at the beginning and gets so powerful then! Fabulous!
De una belleza romántica y la fuerza de una tecnica admirable. Porque algunos somos tan afortunados de amar la Música celestial de este modo? Gracias desde Argentina
The whole piece is excellent, but 33:39 is just on another level
Hint to concert programmers. Schedule a big war horse to get people to buy tickets, and put one of these neglected gems on the program, as well. It could work, and it could expand our listening universe.
on ne s'en lasse pas il est magnifique ce concerto comme le n 2
I'd like to hear more about the pianist, Ingemar Edgren.
The 1st movement is super comforting
This piece is absolutely enchanting. Greta Erikson has played it to perfection.
Very nice. Definitely deserves a greater audience. Suspect Williams borrowed some of this for a Harry Potter theme or two.... Naughty Williams!
There's a passage near the end of Wiklund's Konsertstycke Op.1 that's almost identical to the main theme from Star Wars.
Why can't I like this more than once? It certainly deserves it. Wonderful pianist too.
there was a really good upload of this concerto on youtube, it was a different interpretation which I loved to listen to. Unfortunately it disappeared from youtube, I really wish I downloaded it while it was up.
That was great, I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Incredible ALL.the colore and matizes de Johannes BBrahms ☺️☺️
Delightful!
This is great and really deserves to be well known. THanks for posting.
Magnificent! I listen to this Babylonian architecture for the umpteenth time, fascinated by stylistic eccentricities and changes of harmonies. It is a wonderful, rhythmically lively performance of colors and warmth ..
Really magical!
Beautiful. Thanks for uploading this gem. Will immediately listen #2 too. At first impression it's like Wiklund had been inspired by Brahms style bringing it into his soul and giving it his personality and touch. Formally perfect and rigorous, too.
a place to spend my quiet nights ..
its where its taken me .. amazing
Pure bliss. This concerto is absolutely stunning
great concerto, I especially like the third movement
Very beautifull
Danke
Gorgeous!
apres le 2 le 1 il me manquait , merci, beaux concerto
Music at its GLORY!
Beautiful
Love it.
What is the painting? It looks beautiful!
The painting is made by Thomas Kinkade and its called Winter Dusk. Indeed a beautiful painting ;-)
Desmosoom Thank you!
You could take à glance at Édouard Cortes paintings as well
jean luc grelier Thank you!
Ciertamente es un bellísimo concierto.
Disfruto mucho, obras desconocidas pero maravillosas.
Lovely.
Luscious!
Great performance ! Thanks for sharing!
Those commenting favourably on the lesser known works, should check out Robert Ward's piano concerto - the first movement is the equal of (almost) any. Why RVW's piano concerto is not better known is beyond me.
the final movement is pretty great
This is just perfect.
Thanks for posting. With such an interesting work it would have been nice to see the score. After all, you've got nothing else for us to look at.
Bravo...
Yo también me sorprendo de que música como este bello, melódico, romántico ( tardío ) concierto sea completamente desconocida ( supongo ) para la inmensa mayoría de melómanos, como es mi caso . Obras como esta están completamente excluidas de los ciclos de conciertos habituales, en favor de un repertorio clásico-romántico muy restringido, o peor, en favor de horribles y frías obras, atonales, sin sentimiento ni pasión, que no gustan a casi nadie y que muchos simulan degustar. Ni siquiera conocía el nombre del compositor. Cuál es su nacionalidad ? ( where was he from ? Which was his nationality? ) La pintura es preciosa. No entiendo casi nada de pintura, por lo que desconozco si como pintor es tan desconocido como Adolf Wiklund como compositor. He comprobado que este canal ofrece obras poco conocidas incluso de compositores bien famosos, como la también interesante sinfonía en do menor ( 1864 ) de Edward Grieg.
Desgraciadamente seha sacrificado el alma en las obras, en aras de la "modernidad" y la "contemporaneidad"... creo yo que ambos conceptos no deberían estar peleados con la expresividad, el sentimiento y la sensibilidad.
LA MUSICA ATONAL ES LA QUE SE IMPONE COMO UNA FORMA DE DEFORMAR TODA LA MUSICA..IGUAL QUE SE HIZO CON LA PINTURA...EN LA DENOMINADA PINTURA ABSTRACTA,,DE ARTE POCO ...PERO DE ESCLAVIZACION A NUEVAS FORMAS Y ORDENES QUE TERMINAN DEVALUANDO EL ARTE EN GENERAL...YA LO DIJO ANTONIO GRAMSCI...DEBEMOS DEFORMAR LA CONCIENCIA DE OCCIDENTE E IMPONER NUESTROS CONCEPTOS COMO NUEVA REALIDAD SI QUEREMOS ADUEÑARNOS DEL MUNDO.....Y EN ESO ESTAN....WIKLUND CREO QUE ES NORUEGO COMO GRIEG
Adolf Wiklund fue un compositor y director de orquesta sueco. Su padre era organista. Después de graduarse en el Real Conservatorio de Estocolmo como organista y maestro de música, Wiklund fue galardonado con una beca para estudiar piano en Suecia y luego en París. Wikipedia
Nacimiento: 5 de junio de 1879, Suecia
Fallecimiento: 2 de abril de 1950, Estocolmo, Suecia
wonderful easily appreciated
atmospheric 1st mvt
rollicking 3rd movement
I would pay to hear this..
Ameno! Amenoooo!
Awesome! Beautiful music.
A very beautiful concerto for piano. Together with the concerto of Atterberg, it is probably the best one of the swedish school. We should hear it from time to time in our concert halls.
I find Wiklund's second concerto even more compelling. The Hyperion CD with both concertos and his op. 1 Konsertstycke under Manze and the Helsingborg, with Sturfält as soloist, is probably my favourite disc.
I quite agree the problem is no pianist wishes to play to an empty hall!
You still seem to ignore Stenhammar's masterpieces....why?
Wiklund, Atterberg, Stenhammar
Ingemar Edgren is impressive as is the piano being used. Probably a Hamburg Steinway.
Fabulous, thank you so much for uploading.👍👍👍👍🆒🆒🍾🍾🌹🎹🎼🎧
Too good not to be heard more often, thx!
Sorry if I missed it but whose beautiful painting serves as the illustration here??? Beautiful music!
I can't agree more
Character AND luciousness; reminds me of Stenhammer a little bit. And there is Impressionism in it.
Great work!
This is a lovely concerto but I have to assume that most of the 145,000 viewers are Swedish because I never heard of this fellow before today.
liked it...
II. Andante ma non troppo 14:28
r/PieceoftheDay featured this piece today, September 19th, 2021.
Se escucha el estilo de los compositores del período romántico nacionalista de principios del siglo XX. Muy bello, pero tal vez por eso no trascendieron en la historia, y fueron opacados por otros compositores como Thaikovsky o los compositores franceses.
beautiful
wiklund slowly became obscure after his death... but this video has received a lot of attention, the power of the internet! great piece, beautiful late romanticism
Curiously, the opening theme of this piece is almost identical to the first subject in Reynaldo Hahn's lovely Piano Quintet in F# minor. None the worse for that! I've been fond of this concerto for a long time. I think it's more successful than the Second, in fact.
+frintonearnshaw I definitely hear that! how interesting. do you think one was inspired by the other?
Did you ever find a definite answer? Hahn composed the quintet in 1921 and was perhaps inspired by this Wiklund concerto which was composed in 1906.
CaludeBernard
Please, who is the painter of the video ?
Ist da nicht Prokofjews 2. Konzert entstanden?
Am Ende des 1. Satzes gibt es sehr ähnliche Intonationen.
Exceptional
Lovely flutes 10:12 ...
Pretty inspiring !
...guess minute 8:30 served for Matrix and Harry Potter soundtrack composers!
Please stop uploading. I must work. Now I sit and listen fascinated to another great piece of music. This way I will never get my work done...
Hello, nice music, I didn't know about this composer.
About the picture, is it an Edouard Cortes painting ?
That's 'Winter Dusk', painted by Thomas Kinkade.
OK, thank you, it looked like a Cortes painting, he painted several locations of Paris in the beginning and in the middle of next century, and I like his style. Regards from France, Coulommiers in the eastern suburbs of Paris.
You're welcome.
bello concierto, gracias !
As to the painter.

Painter: Thomas Kinkade
A magical piece. I believe that if an arranger summarized this piece by removing some orchestral parts, it would be a knock-out.
Who is the painter of this beautiful winter scene?

But the signature does not look like Kinkade - and the style is more subdued than Kinkade. Sure about the painter?

Google thomas kinkade Winter Dusk and you will find it.
Right you were - thanks a lot!
I believe it was the son of the mother whose only son painted it.

By whom and from where is the great painting?
It looks like it could be by Childe Hassam, but I could not find a match.
This picture is painted by Thomas Kinkade.
Thank you, both of you..
