Andris Nelsons conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in part one of Dvoľák's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, 'From the New World' during Proms 2010 season.
why are people getting upset about the faces the conductor is making? he's obviously having the time of his life and he loves his job! that's really great in my opinion! it's hard to find people who enjoy their job this much nowadays
WOW- yes love the conductor! Watching him I feel as though I should grab an instrument and start playing! INTENSE! Love it! Plus, this is one of my favorite pieces!
This conductor is amazing! I love it when you get conductors that actually appear to enjoy the music and share that passion with the members of the orchestra - for myself, as an orchestral player, it makes so much difference to the performance :D
A. Nelsons is simply one of the greatest conductors in the world right now, giving 100% in each and every concert, following the footsteps of Abbado and Rattle. He is conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker on a regular basis, also the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, he has been on tour with the Wiener Philharmoniker recently etc. He certainly has his own mind and rightfully so. That's why he is conducting these ensembles which are as good as an orchestra can get.
Oh my GOSH this is one of the best interpretations of this piece I have ever heard! The styling and contrast is just fantastic and the rhythm is SO tight! This group knows how to play! Very well put together!
I am a fan of Pink Floyd , Genesis , Supertramp !! But one can also like and appreciate this !! This is MUSIC !! and worth hearing ! Just sit , and let go the thing ! it makes you travel !! great !!
Beautiful! I have this everytime when coming home from the pub. Conducting with my wife´s knitting needle. No, no...no joking - very professional, wonderful and worth listening. Again and again!
THIS YOUNG CONDUCTOR IS GREAT..I THINK TOO THAT HE FEELS SOME LIKE AN ORGASM...BUT THIS IS WONDERFUL IN MUSIC... I REMEMBER THE jIMMY pAGE EXPRESSION IN THE ROCK SONG "STAIR WAY TO HEAVEN", WHERE HE EXPREES THIS PASSION TOO...
Very good. Last, but not least I'm happy that also the sound qualitiy is good here (you're feeling the space of the hall etc., that's good) and the conduction of the pictures, too
That conductor fascinates me! :D His facial expressions are the best ones... You can see by watching the orchestra, how it understands what exactly the conductor wants... it's just awesome! Thanks for posting.
i am singing bellow Andris in Bayreuth...he is absolutely lovely person and he allways wants to get the music from the piece. Is trying to motivate thru himself to bigger expression. He is musician. You won´t ever be bored in any piece he is conducting...
Amazing piece and great version I thought, I just wish they hadn't put the conductor in as many scenes during some of the most technically impressive moments - e.g. 08:44 or 09:00 - I wanted to see the musicians playing those bits! ...still - good to see a younger conductor up there trying something a bit different
ANDRIS NELSONS HAVE HERE A MAGISTRAL AND GREAT PERFORMANCE ,STILL WITH HIS SO PECULIAR STYLE,NO EXCENT OF COMIC OR HUMORISTIC BEHAVIOR ELEMENTS ...!!! FROM LIMA PERU
No it's not just you cazzel lol he waves in a weird way to me but anyway the rendition remains very interesting and valuable to me. Thanks for sharing this.
From 8:44 to the end it's playing to - an all-out massacre I would say - and I know what I'm talking about because I myself play the violin and orchestra here that plays a I play first violin and it's pretty hard...But here it's really beautiful, and sometimes it freezes on the back :D
The Proms delivers again. Not one of these Proms performances I have seen is anything but AAA+ The conductor missed his calling in life as a conductor - Oh no he didn't...
yes the orchestra is amazing,yes it is a very good performance, yes i am also a conductor from south america so i envy this guy, but dude!!!!!! your conducting scares the sh*t out of me!!
@MrHathouse Id like to see you try to play a wind instrument! Were not all "stuck up with a nasal twang" as you like to put it. I play the french horn and the electric guitar, and I ENJOY classical music, as well as rock.
Damn, glad I gave up the cancer sticks. Awesome performance despite the human reaction to smoking...Take some cough syrup before attending a performance like this PLEASE.
YES the orchestra is amazing,YES it is a very good performance, YES i am also a conductor from south america so i envy this guy, but DUDE!!!!!! your conducting scares the sh*t out of me!!
What do you mean by "ends up becoming like frankenstein" :D:D Dvorak wrote this nearly 50 years before the upcoming 12-note-composition technique which is used in modern horrormovies.. (Which basically creates this "creepy atmosphere" you mean) Wanna hear "something creepy"? Listen to some of Béla Bartók´s compositions ;))
