Gershwin: An American in Paris ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada 

Very difficult piece to learn and perform. Obvious to a strings player is that George Gershwin never played a string instrument. Unbelievably difficult passages that are dreadful to play

OMG: 100 years old, and still amazing!!

A European orchestra performs an American composer in such a wonderful way! Superb! Bravo!

a tempo 1:26 Calmato 3:48 Subito con brio 5:06 Vigoroso 5:38 Deciso 6:17 Deciso [40] 6:45 Calmato 7:08 Andante ma con ritmo deciso 8:14 cantando 10:29 con moto 11:34

i know its sacrilege but damn it i cant help it. i always see bugs daffy and Yosemite sam at the start of this. lol.

Fantastic work by the director of the filming of this piece to time the right camera shots to key moments and the musicians performing them; the trumpet, glockenspiel, Celesta, violin, flutes - even the small snare part and the crash of the cymbals, not to mention the director of the orchestra. Wonderful! Thank you for posting this (especially without ads).

Music is a beautiful thing !!!! Shame on schools not supporting the arts !!!

so that's who was in Paris

brings me to tears how beautiful it is / reminds me of my dad ( who is still alive) and loves this so much !

I can not even describe how much I love this.

George Gerswhin and this orchestra so perfectly encapsulates all the feelings of being in love, the joy, silliness, flirtatiousness, passion, joy, appreciation, romance. I cannot help but be overwhelmed with affection for the one I love when I hear this piece, I'm gonna lean her backwards and give her a big kiss when I see her next ❤ music is majesty and Orchestras like these are truly the pinnacle of human achievement. My appreciation for this is boundless.

6:18 when you press the button to inspect your weapon in csgo

8:29 one of my fav trumpet solos

i wonder if Scott Joplin had lived a full life if he would have composed music like this come the 1920s and 30s

When will he drop “French guy in New York” 😫

How can the audience sit still through this?

8:25 Highlight

I love this orchestra conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Though it can be observed many changes in the musicians, quality of interpretation never varies. Happy to find Clara at her flute. The brass with saxo sounds great. Trumpet magnificent. Strings as well. Thank you to HR FRANKFURT to allow us to enjoy the best performances.

I never really listened to Gershwin, after this performance he is in my mind.

I first heard this when I was only six years old and to this very day I still love it. It brings back memories. In a peculiar way, it's haunting.

Gershin was phenomenal and so are the interpreters!

Thanks for this performance. I had a few tears and loved it.

This goes into and through your heart. It is beautiful and thank-you.

Magical

This song make me feel a little boy walk with his freinds that are lions in there and look something copper robot and his cute girlfriend. They are really make me in sky.

Some of it is like a dance

I'm doing grade five theory and I saw a section of this that I had to transpose and saw it was from Gershwin, so I wanted to check it out.

Super et Bravo ,magnifique interprétation le chef très bien.un très beau moment.🇧🇪🎼👏👍

Beautiful conductor, beautiful music and beautiful people...!

¡Maravillosa versión! El maestro Orozco dirige con todo el cuerpo, con los ojos, con la expresión facial; creo que baila todas las notas (y quizás los silencios, quién quita) y dirige una orquesta virtuosos... ¿Qué más pedir? Es un verdadero orgullo para Colombia. Muy bien que nos representa.

Our local orchestra performed this piece yesterday.. what an experience it was to listen to this masterpiece with a full orchestra!

5:35 Aaron Burr from Hamilton

Andrés Orozco-Estrada - I LOVE how he looks at his orchestra the same as I proudly look at children in daycare to make their day better 😄😄😄😍😍😍😍 amazing!!!!!

Love that circular breathing by lady baratone sax at the finale Brava!!

Here's me sitting in the USA needing to learn this piece... who do I pull up, a Frankfurt orchestra conducted by a Colombian native :-)

One reason this performance is so special is its subtly. The conductor, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, slows the tempo and holds down the noise. When the musicians are are excellent, as are the Frankfurt Orchestra, playing crisp and pure, there's no need for bombast. Most conductors run Gershwin too hard and fast and loud. He was a artist. Not a truck driver. He deserves this. Cudos and bravos.

¡Magnífica Orquesta! ¡Great result for a team congratulations Andrés Orozco!

Beautiful!😮😊

I would sell my soul to play this piece

@3:49 -- 4:36 is my absolute favorite part of this arrangement even though it seems outside of the theme

They played all the notes in the correct order but getting Germans to swing might be asking a bit too much.

absolument magnifique SOMPTUEUX merci chers musiciens .

HOOO !!!!!!!!!!COMO ESTOU TÃO FELIZ................

Amazing Concert and great sound tuba solo,BB flat!👍👏

Outstanding performance! The rubato and other liberties taken by Orozco-Estrada are tastefully and beautifully implemented. I do wish the cameras would focus more carefully on solo instruments throughout.

Love this performance. ❤

6:59 Is that Scarlett Johansson playing the viola? Lol Great performance!

0:45 3:03 4:28

Wonderful interpretation and performance. Tempos were right on the money!

Wonderfully amazingly fantastically remarkably beautiful!!!!!!!

I had this in my mind while making my driving licence...

A of the best pieces of Gershwin ,Excellent performance Gruesse aus Mèxico

SimplesmenteEspetacular, este maestro Andrés é genial, maravilhoso e a orquestra é estupenda!

I hadn't heard this for Decades. So nice to recall Gershwin from my teenage years of musical discovery in the late '50s-early '60s... Your Orchestra and Conductor are gifted and spectacular. Great Mahler 6 and Shostakovich anything... I'll keep attending your virtual performances. Danke Schoen... 🎉🎉🎉

Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We play this on the upcoming weekend. I love the interpretation and the outstanding musicianship of this fine orchestra. Great sound and nicely captured by the sound people!

15:23, Disregard guys, I have an audition coming up lol

so so so so so awesome

8:15

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Competently played though it lacks some of the playful jazzy verve Gershwin intended it to have, the swing of it. Still, nice job.

Súper ❤

1:07 lmao it's so funny to me that they use those lil horns

Finally an answer to who was in Paris

Superba!

8:15 - 9:08 is my favorite part

Phenomial! Fantasic woodwinds!!

BRAVO!!!!

Great sound, technique etc. But where is the jazz?? Nothing is laid back, no swing, just too "correct" for my taste.

This is so good! Thank you so much.

22:23 Why it so long 😂?!?!!?!!??!?

15:15

Tres Magnifique!❤❤❤❤

Excellent!

Brillante Aufführung dieses populären Meisterwerks mit farbenprächtigen und zugleich gut balancierten Töne verschiedener Instrumente. Alle Solospieler sind ausnahmslos ausgezeichnet. Der geniale Maestro leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester im lebhaften Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt Gänsehaut!

I GREW UP WITH THE CLASSICS, THE BEST MUSIC THERE IS !!!! TODAYS YOUNG DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR MISSING!!!! BRING BACK THE CLASSICS FOR A BETTER WORLD OF MUSIC!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!! I AM GRATEFUL!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!! PSALM 150!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!

Bonne musique de foire 😅

Incredible performance! My favorite piece

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

This is art.

@UCGuPRSUD7ow6lGKgqQ-tFHg : I don't agree in relation with conductor's movement on stage. He is one of today's best conductors in the world. (Remembrer Bernstein). However, I do totally agree with you on the fact of the horrible fashion adopted by conductors of wearing pijamas instead of tuxedos...

Gershwin magnífico compositor norteamericano con su un americano en París Rapsodia en azul
