Omagoodness as we say in the southern US colonies (oh, my goodness)... This is delectable as to the arrangement, the playing, and the bright but un-clattery acoustics. I thank you, Brahms thanks you, God thanks you for giving Him a voice. Much love from Washington DC USA.
I. Allegro molto (00:04) - II. Scherzo. Allegro non troppo (12:58) - Trio. Poco più moto (15:58) - III. Adagio non troppo (20:44) - IV. Minuetto I (31:38) - V. Scherzo. Allegro (35:05) - VI. Rondo. Allegro (37:30)
Magnificent music! Outstanding playing, too! Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏 It seems weird to see the musicians play in an empty hall, I bet the musicians find it a bit unsettling at first.
I simply love these COVID performances, and especially this one. You can hear each individual instruments contribution to the whole. This is so delightful, an absolutely beautiful performance. I loved it.
High quality playing from a superb bunch of musicians. Special shout out to the 1st violinist - extremely accurate and lovely vibrato. The overall blend is fabulous. Such rounded tones!
Essentieel bij Brahms is dat je erbij kunt zingen. Maar bij deze uitvoering kun je ook bewegen, dansen zelfs. Hij zit vol emotie. Ik wordt hier echt blij van! Bravo! Luisteren, iedereen!
Heerlijke muziek, en ook fantastisch gespeeld. Delicaat, elke dialoog tussen de instrumenten komt er zo prachtig uit. Brahms zou ongetwijfeld opgetogen zijn. Dank u wel voor deze upload.
Fantastica musica, splendidamente eseguita (e la versione cameristica non fa che metterne ancora più in luce i pregi!) Incomparabile, incommensurabile Johannes Brahms!
Amazing what can be done with small forces and a good acoustic. Very fine performance with all instrumentalists contributing to a sweet-grained performance.
From all the other good performances?, Exquisite balance and timing- thank you. Or ,as we English speakers say, pretending to know Dutch: uitstekende balans en timingn.
Wunderschöne und lebhafte Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Serenade im gut phrasierten Tempo mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der neun genialen Instrumente. Wahrlich ausgezeichnetes Ensemble!
@@notaire2 da haben Sie wohl Recht. Ist halt etwas schade, wenn diese tolle Musik, die wir ja offenbar beide sehr schätzen, so eindimensional besprochen wird.
What a profoundly beautiful gift is this performance/recording. Thank you to all concerned. One question: I see no microphones, and yet each instrument sounds as if it is close mic’d. Is it just the magic of this wondrous hall - that makes far away mics actually work OK?
Who made the arrangement? Brahms is notorious (ok, ok,.. well-known) for arrangements of his works (Quintet Op.34, Tragic Overture, Piano Concerto in d minor,..) but this does not show up in IMSLP. (There is a two-piano version by the composer, but not this)
IF YOU PLAY ONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS PRESCRIBED IN THIS NONET, YOU'LL WANT TO PLAY [WITH OTHERS]. SCORE: EDITION GRAVIS SCHWALBACH I HAVE PARTS TOO TYPED MYSELF
Beautiful playing! Katy Woolley knows how to make the horn sing!!!! So... does anyone here know what arrangement/reconstruction they used in this performance? I really want to find the music for this (I actually found this recording as I was preparing for the full orchestra version) and learned that, while Brahms wrote the nonet version first, he destroyed that version in favor of the full orchestra version. Thanks!!!!
