Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 with Alan Gilbert | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra 

I am a old Japanese Brucknerian Bruckner‘s symphonies are my soul Now in Tokyo spring is in full swing and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom The cherry blossoms in full bloom is a good match for Bruckner‘s symphonies I am listening to No.4 while watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom under the moon light This is a blissful time for me From A corner of Tokyo

素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます！

I know Mr Gilbert very well by name but have not seen/heard my of his performances. And I have to say that I think this performance is outstanding in what it finds and brings out in the music. I look forward to hearing more.

I always listen to this version of bruckner no.4. Best balance, fantastic horn, Awsome plyaing!

Bravo to the magnificent NDR and to Maestro Gilbert. NDR has been one of my favorite ensembles since Maestro Wand gave us such magnificently felt performances of Beetho en, Brahms and Bruckner. Now the NDR and Maestro Gilbert are turning the page on what is becoming a magnificent venture. Congratulations to you both.

One of the Great FInales......up there with Celibidache, Mehta and Blomstedt......BRAVO from Acapulco!

Großes Lob an das Orchester! Hörner sehr stabil! Vor allem durch das sensible Dirigat eine beeindruckende Erfassung und Vermittlung von Bruckner‘s Geist! Das ist schon die Obere Liga! Einfach klasse!

Qué grandioso compositor fue Anton Bruckner! Qué sinfonía tan maravillosa es esta cuarta.Rebosa romanticismo por todos sus poros.Enhorabuena a la orquesta NDR Elbphilharmonie Orquesta ,y a su magnífico director Alan Gilberto.Es de las sinfonías que provoca una gran emoción en todos sus movimientos.Gracias a NDR.Fantástica.

My goodness I accidentally opened this video right at the coda. It never fails me how Bruckner is a master of epic endings..

Как же я люблю Брукнера!

Erstaunlich schön ist dieser Werk von Anton Bruckner🤩😍

Clear, balanced and natural. It's like a breath after a deep meditation. Look forward to see the recording of Bruckner and Brahms by Alan and NDR Elbphilharmonie.

Wunderbare Interpretation! Man muss dem Orchester zu diesem großartigen Chefdirigenten gratulieren! So tolle Tempi, eine unglaublich feingliedrige und sensible Zeichengebung (z.B. 2. Satz), aber nur, um den Klang und die Interpretation zu ermöglichen und nicht, um sich selbst dabei in den Vordergrund zu spielen. Tolle Musiker, die sich so entfalten und zu einer Einheit zusammenwachsen können. Immer wieder ein Erlebnis, vielen Dank!

Cet orchestre de Hambourg est une pure merveille. Et Mr Gilbert un chef inattendu dans Bruckner. Bravo ! Et bravo aussi aux ingénieurs du son et aux cameramen! Je le regarderai encore Demain pour mieux approfondir.

Thank you for making those remarkable performances available for everyone!

So beautiful! 🎶💚🎶... Bravissimo! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much for sharing it with us! 🤗

Great horn playing at beginning.

Fantastic performance, Mr Gilbert! Now please continue to give us the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth, preferably with the Finale (a wonderful opportunity to get rid of the alte Zopf to suppress the Finale! I would rate you as a member of the daring conductor class of Harnoncourt, Rattle et al, to do that.)

It's a very honest interpretation. Using the correct forces. Always a challenge to balance Bruckner.

Herzlichen Dank NDR Freunden

I will say that my favorite Bruckner 4th performance on YT is that conducted by the late Stanislaw Skrowaczewski with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia. But this performance you have just posted is really top-notch. Great, really. Kudos to your technical engineers! Watching on my home library PC, the sound is fine. As much as I wish I had been in the concert hall, the visuals on this recording help us appreciate how Bruckner assembled this symphony, including three trumpets and five French horns! Is it my imagination, but when Alan Gilbert was with the New York Philharmonic, I did not associate him with Bruckner. He is proving to be a noteworthy advocate for his music. Of course, this orchestra has been for many years. Thanks for sharing this concert with those of us who couldn't be there. I am sure I will watch it again.

What a wonderful performance by the entire orchestra. The connectivity between the highly talented musicians and Mr. Gilbert was ever present and the ability to add a 'fourth dimension' of purposeful body movement by the musicians (while performing) was incredible and added to the emotion of Bruckner's Symphony No 4. The performance seemed flawless and perfectly balanced, a tribute to the bonded partnership of musicians and conductor. Beyond the complexities of delivering such a performance, Mr. Gilbert exhibits a reassuring and encouraging leadership quality that brings out the best in this special evening. It must be also noted that the facility is beautiful, the filming was very enjoyable, and the audio superb. Congratulations, thank you for sharing!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser großartigen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der letzte Satz klingt besonders schön und literarisch romantisch. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

Truly superb in every way!

It’s a tune to ascension for me especially at No.4. Thank you very much.

Gott erhalte uns die wunderbaren Rundfunksinfonieorchester 😍🤩

Excellent, another great performance

BRAVO to this fine performance and the conductor conducting without a score !!!!

stunningly gorgeous, thanks

Legal!

Maravilhoso! Bruckner é realmente fantástico. Lamentável que muitas de suas obras não possam ser executadas por rasuras em suas partituras, cometidas pelo próprio compositor que, em sua obsessiva mania de perfeição, as corrigia inúmeras vezes após terminá-las, tornando as partituras incompreensíveis. Oxalá os especialistas consigam recuperá-las todas.

Superbe!

Act of prove greatness of Bruckner is still there by NDR?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have learned that Bruckner, as the very religious person he was, always wrote the second movement as sort of a hymn to God. Is it true? In this case it means that the second movement Andante quasi Allegretto at 20:32 is a prayer. I like that thought, in a way all music is a prayer.

The Begining of The End 01:07:08

Schöne Aufnahme, leider mit miserabler bildregie! Solohorn so gut wie bei keinem solo im bild.

Great solo from the Principal Horn player at the very beginning! Where was the camera during this important solo ?

브루크너 심포니를 들으면... 저의 귀는 자주 외출을 갔어요. 그러든 귀가 돌아왔어요. NDR 의 마법...

Ich empfinde diese blaue Belichtung störend. Leistung des Orchesters/Dirigenten: Sehr gut!

Alan Gilbert, British, American?

Das ist gut, dass Alan mit einer Maske reinkommt.... da fliegen die Viren am schlimmsten..., beim Dirigieren trauen sie sich dann nicht mehr so...😂

Ich fordere jetzt die sofortige Löschung dieses Videos! Es verstößt gegen die Community-Richtlinien von RU-vid betreffend Hate-Speech.

Was mich nachhaltig irritiert: Wie kann man Musik, die bei den Nationalsozialisten hoch im Kurs stand, einfach unkommentiert spielen? Wo ist die kritische geschichtliche Einordnung insbesondere der antisemitischen Einstellung des Komponisten? Stattdessen wird hier eine pompöse Inszenierung zelebriert, die es SO niemals hätte geben dürfen.
