Brahms: Nänie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ WDR Rundfunkchor ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada 

Beautiful! "Oh to be on the lips of the loved one is glorious" Sometimes called the little requiem.

This is truly a "pinnacle piece". It's impossible to imagine how it could be improved.

My god is this piece heartbreaking! I sang it in choral groups a couple of times before I fell in love with it. I guess I had to age into its beautiful, sad wisdom.

Wow! Stunned audience! Such a beautiful piece! My choir is singing it this April. It is amazing to discover its secret depths (like all Brahms!)

OH MY GOD !, what a wonderful funeral piece , based in the poem" Nanie" of Schiler , the roman goddess Nenia. It is interesting that this symphonic choral was composed 10 years later than the " a German requiem ", so it is a mature and charming composition. THANKS for the concert .

Muy bella interpretación Orquesta y Coro muy bueno

LIndo! É muito bom ver o maestro Orozco regendo esta orquestra novamente!

eine Herausforderung für Chor! und Orchester!, so ist da Leben für jeden liebenden Menschen!

Thank you 👏👏👏

Wonderful!!

Immenso

Gelungene Aufführung mit einem Dirigenten, der sich aufgrund seiner lebendigen, ehrlichen und unkapriziösen Art aus der Masse deutlich heraushebt. In Anbetracht der musikalischen Raffinesse des Werks gepaart mit überwältigender Schönheit ist dieses Stück in der deutschsprachigen Konzertlandschaft wesentlich zu unterrepräsentiert.

ART

Grande Brahms !!!!! Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So charming and elegant. 🍀 💚

Beautiful indeed. I don't know about Orozco-Estrada's comimgs and goings, but I thought he had gone to Houston. Whatever the situation in the USA, I think it's good to see him back here with his orchestra. I don't know the work but I am [somehow the end of this comment got lost - so, to conclude] very glad to be introduced to it by what is clearly an exquisite performance. Thank you.

magnifique oeuvre, trop peu souvent entendue....

Fantastisch, vooral de solo-hobo!

Прекрасный концерт!

Thank you so much. For some, that opening section, with its blissfully unfolding oboe solo, is the most beautiful start to any work Brahms ever wrote. (Both formally, and in spirit, it is also close to the opening the Violin Concerto's slow movement, with that combination of lengthy mood-setting oboe melody, principally wind-accompanied, finally giving way to the main song - of the violin in one case, the choir in the other: the two works are less than two years apart...). By the way, forgive my ignorance, but is the conductor related perhaps to Rafael Orozco - whose fine playing introduced me to Chopin nearly 50 years ago ?....

Beautifully done.

Johannes Brahms ((1833-1897) Nänie, Op. 82 (1882) Poem by Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) 00:05 Auch das Schöne muß sterben! Das Menschen und Götter bezwinget, Nicht die eherne Brust rührt es des stygischen Zeus. Einmal nur erweichte die Liebe den Schattenbeherrscher, Und an der Schwelle noch, streng, rief er zurück sein Geschenk. Nicht stillt Aphrodite dem schönen Knaben die Wunde, Die in den zierlichen Leib grausam der Eber geritzt. Nicht errettet den göttlichen Held die unsterbliche Mutter, Wann er, am skäischen Tor fallend, sein Schicksal erfüllt. Aber sie steigt aus dem Meer mit allen Töchtern des Nereus, Und die Klage hebt an um den verherrlichten Sohn. Siehe, da weinen die Götter, es weinen die Göttinnen alle, Daß das Schöne vergeht, daß das Vollkommene stirbt. Auch ein Klaglied zu sein im Mund der Geliebten, ist herrlich, Denn das Gemeine geht klanglos zum Orkus hinab. • • • • • • • • • • Even the beautiful must die! That which overcomes gods and men moves not the armored heart of the Stygian Zeus. Only once did love come to soften the Lord of the Shadows, And just at the threshold he sternly took back his gift. Neither can Aphrodite heal the wounds of the beautiful youth that the boar had savagely torn in his delicate body. Nor can the deathless mother rescue the divine hero when, at the Scaean gate now falling, he fulfills his fate. But she ascends from the sea with all the daughters of Nereus, and she raises a lament here for her glorious son. Behold! The gods weep, all the goddesses weep, that the beautiful dies, that the most perfect passes away. But a lament on the lips of loved ones is glorious, for the ignoble goes down to Orcus in silence. 13:01 *Applause* WDR Rundfunkchor Michael Alber, conductor Frankfurt Radio Symphony Andrés Orozco-Estrada, conductor *Alte Oper* *Frankfurt, Germany 🇩🇪 December 9, 2022*

Next is what days show coming out to difference, showing peace, we go again

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses spätromantischen und fein komponierten Vokalwerks mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso geniale südamerikanisch-österreichische Dirigent leitet das ebenso ausgezeichnete deutsche Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt tiefempfunden!
