My favorite music performance of all time. I dare say it cannot get any better than this. The loneliness, the madness, the folly, the delicacy is so well done in this piece. I felt it all. So well done.
Mankind at its best . It doesn't get any better than these musicians playing so well together . If the world could live in harmony, like this performance is ,.....then planet earth would be a ultra harmonious place to live .
Among the numerous exceptional qualities of this rendition is the nuanced and well rehearsed quality of the orchestra. I hear lines and colour in this rendition that are vacant in other recordings. And, the integration of soloist and orchestra is sublime. Bravo!
Bravi tutti! To play such a difficult piece without a conductor is a testament to their wonderful musicianship, and how much they are all listening to each other.
If all the world could learn to live in harmony like this orchestra plays together,…then every one would be more compassionate and caring, and our planet would have a far better environment for everything to exist in. I never grow tired of this piece. Bravo ! !
Copland is amazing, and this performance is great. I've spent the evening listening to a number of pieces by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Really fine!
My nostalgia is kicked up when I listen to this. I think that I heard this concerto as a young child, perhaps as the soundtrack to a Saturday afternoon TV program (back when there was quality programming for young people). That early exposure has served me well in my adult life.
This piece never ceases to amaze me, and move me at the same time. One of the best performances of all time too. Tighter than Copland and Goodman's take
This is an awesome performance. Everyone seems to be having fun! It is easy to get carried away in this piece and the result is ugly. Martin plays beautiful through out with lightness and bounce. A lot of jazz like sounds contained within a classical expression.
We have to listen to this for DLD for band and I thought I would hate doing this and I have put it off for as long as possible but now I'm mad at myself for putting it off... It's so beautiful.
Great recording. If only there weren't three ads in the middle of the piece. Why can't RU-vid just give me three unskippable ads before the video starts? They get the same amount of money without messing up my music.
I am extremely amazed at how well you keep your air pressure within the body perfectly controlled. I am even more impressed with the multiple levels of complexity I am seeing you have achieved and perfected with your many circular breathing techniques. I understand why you do so many of them, but at the same time you are the first and only person I have ever seen take circular breathing to such complex heights. I sure hope to one day meet you and maybe make a big enough mark that you'd be willing to do a professional 4K cinema "Story Virtuoso Classical Music Video". I have not named my series yet, but I am quite sure you'd like what I am going to be producing. Keep up the great work Mr. Frost and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra!
Copland is a brilliant composer, he is capable to capture a moment, and to capture the audience's attention. Amazing, there are only few composer who truly do that to a live audience. I remember sitting enchanted in the first time I heard "Appalachian Spring". Underestimated in my opinion and not preformed enough. All his works are interesting , lively and exciting
That added fall at 11:15 was absolutely beautiful and sent a chill down my spine! I’m going to ask my instructor if I can do that too because this is the only person I’ve heard do that. It was a small thing but added so much FLAVOR. Also I love the energy going on on stage. And the way he seem less let jumps to the altissimo range like it’s nothing? Beautiful
I like this so much better than when the music is dominated by a conductor. This seems to grow from organic relationships between all the players. Bravo!
Fröst is a master, and his tone has improved a ton over the last five years, but I wish he'd slow down during his unaccompanied cadenza bit and sing out a bit more. His playing is gorgeous and right on the mark when the rest of the orchestra comes back in, though. Plaintive and curious, subdued yet bridling with joy, just the way it should be. Nobody does altissimo like he does, though. So rounded and smooth, not an ounce of force.
I get the impression that he's still searching for what he wants the cadenza to be. It feels to me like he's trying out different things, some which work and some which don't quite work. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with it in the future. In the meantime, the person for me who got the cadenza absolutely right is Stoltzman. I play a lot of big band jazz, swing (doing a Benny Goodman feature concert in March), and Stoltzman's interpretation makes sense to me in that context.
How wonderful copland is. Why no violin or cello concerto .I must find a bio of him .I adore his piano variations .the passacaglia will take more time . His 3rd symph is magisterial !
So here I was right in the best part of this gorgeous piece of music ,... and it breaks for a ad at twice the volume ! Talk about pulling me out of the moment and ramming it down my throat ! You really think I would buy your produce after that ? This is the best performance I've seen here in a long long time aside from RU-vid placing ads in the middle . Do it at the beginning if you must
Hector Salamanca well if you are smart (which clearly you are not) then you would understand, appreciate and agree with or disagree with these kinds of comments. But since you are not smart, I suppose you would not be able to understand.
No, no, I think the 114 dislikes are more pure classical elitists who think this and Gershwin's/Bernstein's classical pieces for that matter are utter travesties - which they clearly are not, if people like Ravel and Stravinsky indicated anything.
A greater contrast could hardly be imagined between that of the languorously gorgeous opening movement and the impishly humorous (and fiendishly difficult) finale of Copland's Clarinet Concerto. It almost makes me wish he had written a fairly traditional opening movement to complement them and give a greater sense of completeness. Okay, I'm quibbling and second-guessing a great composer who gave us this great work. My bad!
