Blomstedt: Haydn's Symphony No. 104 & Bruckner's Symphony No. 6 | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester 

Herbert Blomstedt is an absolute treasure to those of us who love music. I don't think I've ever heard a finer performance of the Bruckner. What a magnificent symphony!

Wunderbar zu sehen, wie dieser betagte Dirigent seine ganze Lebensenergie in das Gelingen dieser großen Bruckner-Symphonie lenkt, ohne sich selbst zu schonen. Zu recht hat sich das Publikum erhoben, um seine Hochachtung und Anerkennung auszudrücken. Geradezu rührend, wie herzlich er sich bei seinen Musiker/innen bedankt für ihr hochklassiges und beherztes Spiel. Ein Konzertabend, der das Leben der Besucher/innen gewiss bereichern wird.

Mit 92 Jahren. Das muss man sich mal vostellen! So toll

Great Haydn performance! It really shows how great orchestra sounds with magnificent conductor! So good balance, colour and feeling of true classical master! For years I was fond of early music specialist interpretations, but if you have great technical abilities combined with imagination and intelligent leader the result is astonishing. Bravo!

Blomstedt!! Great bruckner specialist!!!!

This is just wonderful and it's even more amazing when you remember that Maestro Blomstedt was 92 at the time of the recording.

Magnífica gala concierto de dos sinfonías de dos célebres compositores austriacos J.Haydn perteneciente al Período Clásico y A. Bruckner de la Época Romántica con matices barrocos. Genial interpretación de la prestigiosa Orquesta Filarmónica NDR con sede en Hamburgo dirigida por el gran maestro Herbert Blomstedt que a sus 93 años todavía está en activo. BRAVO !!!. Saludos desde España.

What an appreciative audience! How wonderful! So deserved ovation. Great orchestra and I love Blomstedt!

I wish I were there. But even if I were there, I wish I could get that into my brain. The novelty of live music only partially and briefly opens the channels of attention. I want a direct transcranial infusion of Hydn's Symphony 104!

A terrific concert! Haydn's great Symphony 104 and Bruckner's dynamic 6th Symphony. I am sure every audience member will regard this as a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us! SPASIBA!!! BELLISSIMO CONCERTO!!!

Where to begin? Let's enumerate: 1. Haydn, like Blomstedt himself, is persistently underrated and yet consistently amazes in his effortless musicality. 2. The dancefest that is Bruckner 6 is my secret favourite (sorry, 7, 8 & 9!). 3. The Elbphilarmonie's interior takes time to appreciate, but is magnificent, like a dream of Alhambra's marriage to La Sagrada Familia. 4. Given Hamburg's history and tribulations, long live such public institutions - Covid-19 has hopefully reminded us of their value.

Wohltuend, eine wahre Freude diese Haydn-Sinfonie in einer solchen Wiedergabe! -Musik um der Musik und nicht des eignen Renommees willen! -eine Filmregie, die ebenfalls im Dienste der musikalischen Interpretation des Dirigenten steht und diese schön zum Ausdruck bringt! -ein Orchester, das sich seiner edlen Aufgabe bewusst ist, sich ihr differenziert unterordnet und dabei so frisch wirkt, wie wir es wahrscheinlich waren, als wir das Stück mit unserem Mittelschulorchester spielten (ich übrigens an der Seite des späteren langjährigen 1. Flötisten der Wiener Philharmoniker)!

Herbert Blomstedt eine auf zwei Beinen wandelnde Partitur in Fleisch und Blut: Gigantisch! 🌹🌹🌹👏

Super Elegant!! Kudos to everybody :) (from Haydn, Conductor, Orchestra, Architect, Sound Engineer to the Camera crew) Bravo.

Thanks for posting! Great conductor and orchestra.

J'ai énormément apprécié le concert. Tout y est : le programme, le fabuleux orchestre, l'interprétation geniale du maestro Blomstedt. Pour mon goût personnel, le sommet est le mouvement lent de la 6eme. C'est une merveille absolue. D'ailleurs Anton en était très fier : la symphonie n'a subi aucune retouche. Et, last but nout least, l'acoustique, la prise de son et l'image sont excellentes. Hélas, ma santé fragile m'empêche d'alller sur place profiter d'une salle aussi extraordinaire. Vive la NDR

You can actually feel the total commitment of these players.... totally and utterly committed to the highest standards of playing. So wonderful to behold. So many thanks again to my friends in the NDR.

Haydn and Bruckner, two masters who both should be heard more often in concert halls!

Proprio bravi! È un piacere ascoltarvi!

This concert was just SO musical!

Ein gutes video gut orchester dirigent

Blomstedt has the Orchestra energized if the body language of the players is anything to go by !

SUCH EXCITEMENT, SUCH LIFE---- BRAVISSIMO HERBRTT BLOMSTEDT!!

I don’t know what the Elbphilharmonie sounds like in person, but the recorded sound is magnificent (plus it’s beautiful to look at). The orchestra is fabulous and of course Blomstedt has always been one of my favorite conductors, before it was fashionable to revere him like it is today. Thank you for making this video available!

BRAVO !!!

The Bruckner sounds really good. One of my favorite symphonies. I always enjoy Blomstedt’s interpretations. Excellent work.

Delicacy and elegance!

Genial ejecución...

I became aware of Herbert Blomstedt with his excellent recording of Mozart's 39th Symphony with Dresden. That was in 1979 and was the first digital recording I know of (Denon). Here we are 40 years later in this wonderful 2019 performance and the maestro is still going strong. There is something about a life in music that correlates with longevity.

凄い！感動しました。

Bravo. Great music-making. Great band, great conductor.

Great!!!

He still lives and plays romantic composers I think he can finish with this London symphony anytime (I can see good end from it In reality, looks he will live forever)

Extraordinary to be so able and passionate about his work at 93. For some insight into his personal beliefs see his interview on Beethoven’s great choral work, also on Digital Concert Hall with the Berlin Philharmonic.

Beautiful. Interestingly, I found it difficult to hear the solo woodwinds in this Haydn recording.

Marvelous

Wunderbare Musik 🙂Suchspiel: Wer, außer Blomstedt, kann, wie immer, die Partitur auswendig und spielt ohne Noten ? 😉

Großer Mensch

Für die Bruckner Symphonie: IV. Finale. Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell 1:17:32

Ah, Haydn... gibt kaum einen entspannenderen Komponisten als den mann den Mozart und Beethoven Meister nannten.

Haydin lui grande Maestro del compositore Ludwig Van Beethoven

ブル6がこんなに凄い威容を誇る光彩陸離たる交響曲だったとは 驚きだ。

1:06:02

Ich finde die Posaunen sind viel zu laut abgemischt.

Room decoration produces trypophobia.

the interior design of this concert hall is really ugly.
