Great video. I wrote the Wikipedia page of Revueltas many years ago. I don't know if they left what I wrote. I think the Musical world has not yet discovered him at all. I wish to hear Esquinas or Geometric dance by Berlin Philharmonic or something like that although Dudamel did some with Sensemayá. Greetings from Mexico.

This is how the conductor Jascha Horenstein described the music of Revueltas: "Magnificent scores, a kind of super-Satie but with an enormous “métier” and Mexican folklore in addition."

This is great, I'm mexican physician, and my favorite Mexican music is the music of Silvestre, I really recommend his biography book, named "por el mismo ", thank you for this great video

FINALLY, THIS IS THE FIRST NON SPANISH INFORMATION I FOUND ON YT

Desde niño e escuchado mucho el hombre de Silvestre Revueltas en mi natal Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango Mex. y hasta ahora estoy escuchando toda esta informacion sobre el. Good information thank you.

A wonderful choice. I have admired this composer for many many years but knew nothing about him. You have solved this perfectly. Sensemaya is one of my favourite pieces (played in it).

Great program i was in Mexico City heard his music.

Hi I loved this video!! Do you think you could you make a video on Arvo Pärt?

[fjjt]

Great! I asked for this video and you uploaded it on my birthday. Thanks a lot!

Me enorgullece que hables de alguien de mi pais!

Excellent video! Revueltas so hurt by people, forgotten for many years, but his music survived because of his universal and visionary language. Unfortunatelly, as many geniuses, he was in a rush to die to this world to get a place in immortality! Thank you so much!

[wacorroko]

Awesome work! Thanks for this video. It's surprising how hard it is to find Revueltas' scores and other stuff in Mexico. BTW Rolling the R's in Revueltas, cool detail!

[rubengilquinonez]

Thank you, Classical Nerd! Great video.

Thanks for this biography!!!!
A very interesting topic for 1 of your great videos is the biography of another Mexican composer and scientist called Julian Carrillo.

[jesseppianist]

Love this! I'd love to see a video on Carlos Chavez as well! :)

I’m playing that in my high schools marching band show

Very nice documentary man, I subscribe, I like how your are not pretentious at all, also that "r" sounds too french for spannish, cheers from your neighbor country.

Cool thanks 😊👍 Revueltas is like Ives and Stravinsky, in he stretched out the boundaries of composition.
Google say jt productions "She dances in the wind". ok "Zapata Beefheart"

[alonsoordonez]

100 años de musica mexicana para piano, it's an album played by Jean Baptiste Muller and has the only recording of "Margarita", sounds like impresionism

[jacobtapianieto]

The greatest Mexican composer IMHO, also known as the "Mexican Stravinsky".
