What speakers are you using? For example, if you’re listening from your phone speakers, the low frequencies would be chopped off, so you may not be able to hear the contrabassoon
This is absolutely beautiful! The English horn solo is one of the reasons I switched to the oboe, and I couldn't be happier with my instrument. This is a true masterpiece.
Thats Jeffrey Kaner, Fl. of Philadelphia Orchestra & John Ferillo, Ob. of Boston Symphony - both Principals. Stellar musicians & both lovely gentlemen!
Pedro is without a doubt one of the very best English horn players in the world. I have had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions - he is a very nice person!
This was the opening selection played at tonight's memorial service for the victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. All I had to hear was the first note played and immediately I knew my heart was about to get torn apart again. May God heal the broken hearts not just in this city, but all over the world. #vbstrong psalm 34:18 "the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
I grew up in Japan. My Elementary school in Sanda-city Hyogo, played this song everyday at 4pm from our PA system, signaling time to go home, I am 58 year old and this beautiful song takes me back to when I was a lad!
Played this is high school with a trombonist names Thomas Cox, he really was something special. I'll never forget what he said to me - "Learning the trombone doesn't begin or end, it merely changes form".
This has to be my favorite rendition, it’s near a perfect recording. This has to beat out all the professional orchestras, like Berlin or Chicago. Something about this one is just on another level…
I play french horn . One of my colleagues, also a hornplayer is English. One time, our office secretary phoned him in a tizzy, because the cor anglais player had just called in sick, and so she desperately needed (wait for it) an English hornplayer to replace him... bada boom! True story, can’t make this s**t up.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Il y a dans ce mouvement à lui seul toute l'architecture de Bach, la musicalité de Mozart, la grandeur de Beethoven, l'émotion de Schubert, la nostalgie de Brahms. C'est un pur moment de beauté pour l'éternité. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I want this to be played at the time of my funeral. From 02:49 to 03:36 and then again from 04:46 to 08:11 are heavenly and ethereal. The portion from tumultuous section, and after the reprise from 09:01 to 09:28 and the strings from 09:29 onwards give your soul the final rest and fulfillment. The deathly and mournful pauses after 09:49.. no word to describe that feeling. It is goosebumps all the way after that. Dvorak is Beethoven reborn..
I just heard Chicago Symphony Orchestra play this. CSO have a world reputation, but they seemed to play this too fast. This All-Star Orchestra sounds a lot smoother and theri rendition is more evocative of waking to a new world.
@@calciumchloride710 To be quite honest, I don't know. I've never been asked that before, so I didn't make a note of it. Why are you asking, do you play for CSO?
@@jumpingjflash It's crucial! Always make a note of it. The Chicago Symphony didn't just record the 9th once! Each conductor's chemistry with an ensemble can be like a fingerprint, so I'd be wary of smearing an entire orchestra's reputation on one recording with one conductor you didn't appreciate. If you listen to recordings of the same pieces with the same orchestras under different conductors, you can begin to gain some perspective.
Dear god save our planet....dont vote for idiot politicians. Greed will kill us all. Peter, Tess and litle Gerrit Jan Holland-Philippines 16th april 2020 Vote for peace...and love. Help the poor.
Es una obra hermosa que se comunica con lo profundo del alma humana. En mi hogar, desde mi infancia se escuchaba música clásica, gracias a la pasión por esta expresión humana que tuvo mi padre desde siempre.
I have played this on the viola more than once - it is very moving, especially the cor anglais. Impressive major sixth chords (first inversions) and moves me to tears. In the key of Db major; the middle section is in C# minor which is an enharmonic change. Last note of the viola part a top Ab in the treble clef!
Are you guys by any chance English horn players? I've been told it's neither English nor a horn. That's all I know about it except for it sounds beautiful.
6:05 to 7:10, one of the quintessential passages evoking yearning, at least to my ears, in the all of music. Beautifully rendered, too. Is that Cerminaro on the horn?
@@PKLevel99 I got you. So this guy..the guy with the gold flute. Hes literally like...drooping on the flute. Its tilted so down and normally you have to play parallel, looks professional and gives a better tone. But this guy is just slouching on his flute HOBBOLING IT. The only reason he probably doesnt sound dull is cause its a really good and expensive flute. Idek why hes doing it like that. It looks so uncomfortable. It might be because I play flute but honestly I think it looks bad too people who dont as well. Your username is mozart. Do you play anything?
It has to do with an offset embouchure. If the aperture is not centered on the lips, it can make sense to play with the flute tilted at an angle so as to be more in line with the center of the lip plate while playing.
I heard that from little Einsteins when first saw this on Disney junior that song was so sad and i cry alot on this one but after watching this now it still very sad
For me, this music evokes a most nostalgic and wistful malaise. It evokes images of great historical events of America: the peace following the war of Independence, the expansion westward, especially in the latter 19th century; of the settlement of independent Texas; the terrible Civil war followed by the settling of the Great Plains and of the American Northwest. The conquest of Alaska, Hawaii, Midway, Wake, Guam, and Tinian. The Cold War industrialness; the Great Nation that put a man on the Moon: but afterwards has not achieved much! Dissappointment, dissaffection, dissillusionment. Sorrow for the passing of GREAT -- and the mounting threats to the democratic ideal that enabled the greatest experiment of Country, Freedom, and Equality of the last 250 years.
My son played with him. Said he was a great conductor to play for. “Conductors usually come into an orchestra, and they give a little speech. Maestro Schwartz’ speech was very short. He just said ‘Be ready for anything’ and so we were.”
