HAD TO SCREAM - REACTING TO DVORAK SYMPHONY NO. 9 "NEW WORLD" MVT.3 & 4 

Thank you for this content! I'm a professional classical musician and seeing your reactions to the moments in the piece remind me why I do what I do. We can't really see other people's experiences with the music from the stage. I will sing to you through my 📯 in my next performance!

Dvorak wrote an amazing cello concerto!

I am glad that you like our Czech composer Antonín Dvořák very much. His work is truly magnificent and we are proud of him. 🙂

The third movement ended when you raised your arms, and immediately the fourth movement began.

WHAT a symphony and WHAT a performance of it.

They say that Dvorak wrote this because he was homesick. He had came to America to teach at an university here but missed his homeland of Bavaria/Czechoslovakia. That's why you hear sounds of the classic American song Hiawatha blended with a classic Viennese waltz. Movement 1 was his welcome to the New World,. Movement 2 was his depression and homesickness. Movement 3 was the conflict he felt between the two worlds, and movement 4 was his unification of the two. It's ok if you shout or dance or whatever, that is what music is supposed to to do.

You reacted well with your surprise scream to the best part. That change is one of a kind.

The fourth movement always gives me goosebumps. Love it so much!

the first time i heard this symphony was live, it was THE GREATEST THING EVER i couldnt fathom what i had experienced

This is the first symphony I ever listened to. Know it frontwards and backwards. One of my favorite pieces ever.

Classical music is like star restaurant menus for your hearing. It's the precious gift from composers of the past, their music will live forever. The connection between them and us is just fascinating.

Dvorak digested the best of Beethoven, anticipated some Ravel stuff, influenced so many film composers (lotr^^ etc ) This symphony speaks to everyone and is a must listen. Versions by Karajan and Dudamel are also really interesting :)

Great reaction. I Love the 4th movement. I have performed myself in this opera building. My university choir, 2 others, and the uni orchestra performed Beethovens 9th symphony. Over 300 singers. It was amazing

Your smile around 5 minutes is everything! Ikr!

I have no idea how many times I have listened to this symphony. It never fails to move the emotions.

Your reactions bring even the most played pieces of great music to life as if brand new, GIDI. Thank you for that! Incidentally, of all the great composers, Dvorak lived the most completely normal, simple and happy life of all. It shows, doesn't it?

I'm so glad that Brahms lived long enough to hear this. The teacher and mentor must have been overwhelmed.

It's about time. By the power vested in me, Brett, Eddy and the spirit of Ling Ling; I grant you membership to the United Grand Society of Classical Music Fanatics. You ought to start your journey by picking up an instrument soon. Hope to hear more from you!

This was the first thing I ever saw live in concert, performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. It still gives me goosebumps. And your pronunciation was perfect!

10:40 Pure!!

Third movement....the sounds of a train traversing the wide plains of America....*smiles*

The structure of a Scherzo is evident in this movement. Thank you for your effervescent enthusiasm.

the R in 'Dvořák' is like a simultaneous zh as in "pleasure" with the front inside of the flat part of the tongue AND a rrrrolled R with the tip of the tongue pointed up + lightly touching

I see someone reacting to classcial music, I recommend Shostakovich. Though, I wouldn't suggest the most overplayed things like 8th quartet or 5th symphony. I would suggest instead extremely dramatic Symphonies No.4 and No.8, and the haunting Symphony No.15. I would also suggest full of motion String Quartets No.3 and No.4, and the opposite, slow and dark Quartets No.13 and No.15; Of concertos I'd suggest a humourous black-and-white-movie styled Piano Concerto No.1, thoughtful then violently sarcastic Cello Conerto No.2; Of sonatas, his final work mixing deeply ironic with solemn and grave - the Viola Sonata. His longing then sarcastic Cello Sonata from his middle ages. Self-reflexive Piano Sonata No.2; Additional mentioning for Op. 87's Preludes and Fugues in A minor, G major, F-sharp minor, D-flat major, and Two Pieces for String Octet, as well as for more popular and know Piano Quintet and Piano Trio No.2 i simply can't avoid mentioning. I would also very much recommend two great works of his students: Revol Bunin's Viola Sonata and German Galynin's Piano Concerto No.1!

You can hear the dynamism of 19th century America in the piece. The "New World" for sure. You can feel the beat of the steel factories in Pittsburgh, of the ships coming into New York, the city of immigrants, all in the 4th movement in my ears

Mahler 5 is amazing -- there's a great recording on RU-vid by Barcelona symphony!

I would recommend two other Dvorak symphonies to listen to: his 4th in D minor and his 8th in G major. Especially the Scherzo for his 4th. Though they might not compare to the 9th in some ways, they're nevertheless still good, as are all of them.

Shades of Bruckner's Symphony 7 (written 10 years earlier) in the scherzo here and there. That's another great one.

Dvorak's 9th was my one of my first classical music loves during college in the '60s Played it (quietly) over and over through headphones while studying. His 7th is also one of my favorites. The final movement particularly, the mysteriousness sends shivers up my spine. Another great piece to consider, is the Saint-Saens (pronounced san-saws, with emphasis on the "saws"), 5th piano concerto, called "The Egyptian"). The 2nd movement, to me, is a tale of a European, staying in a fancy Cairo hotel, then leaving the hotel and taking a twilight walk down the bank of the Nile river walking past the homes and shops of the common people living along the river, listening to the various styles of music (Mideastern, Oriental, African) coming from them. At the end of the 2nd movement, the European traveler comes to a set of steps and climbs slowly up them to the street level again and enters the sophisticated chaos of his upper-class hotel, in the final movement. I'm glad you're enjoying your dive into classical music.

Great reaction to a splendid performance of this work. Dvorak symphonies 8, 6, 5 and 3 are all fine works too.

Beautiful video! I recommend Dvorak's symphony no.8, especially the last (4th) movement!

Great reaction! I got into classical music sometime after getting into hip-hop. What I get from classical music is unlike anything else. I'm a very big Dvorak fan, so I had to watch this. There's so much more he wrote that people don't recognize as much that was on such a high level. My favorite music I've heard from him makes me feel at home or like I'm on an adventure. Wait until you get into Tchaikovsky's heavier works, it will take you on crazy highs and lows that will stick with you.

You should really check out Dvorak's Tone Poems. There are five and I guarantee you'll love all 5. In no particular order - The Golden Spinning Wheel, the Noonday Witch, A Hero's Song, The Water Goblin, The Wood Dove

Un reaccion calida y agradable.

Hi Gidi, this piece is one of my favorites. I am glad that you discovered it, and that you also enjoy it.

Don´t worry about it Gidi... the letter Ř doesn´t exist in any other language... Its sort of a roller R and J in one... But you´re doing it pretty well.... The 2 nd movement is a sad one for me as it is usually used in funerals and was playing saying last goodbyes to my mom... The 4th is exhilarating

enjoyed your reaction. we get it perfectly as we feel the same way. You might try another piece - shorter; Dvorak 'Carnival' overture.

10:40 , my friends who think classical music is boring when earing it:

GIDI, you gotta react to William Walton's Symphony #1 in B-flat. The whole thing is pretty darn awesome, but the first movement is something special. It's so full of angst.

The fourth movement is my absolute favorite. Other pieces are great, but it takes first place for me.

The scherzo of Dvorák's Ninth is a homage to the scherzo of Beethoven's Ninth, the similarities, especially in the opening theme are pretty obvious.

This is like a Terrence Malick movie

Suscrito y gracias por activar los subtítulos.

You should take up conducting. You would LOVE it

Dvorak 8th Symphony. Conducted by Manfred Honeck. You'll love it even more than this one.

I noticed several highlights from Beethoven's 9th and 5th. It must have been intentional. Dvorak I think, took into account that this piece was also his 9th symphony and paid respect to the master. I'll choose to believe that until I get corrected. 🙂

9:26 Asura vs Augus

I think Dvorak can be the Beethoven of the 20th century, especially this symphony, comparing it with his 9th as well 🙂

I don't mind your interjected comments during the music. You can only be spontaneous once !

Great performance to react to, and musical direction of video is also great. Plunging straight into the 4th movement gives me some mixed feelings though.

This is a re-upload, right?

What is the piece used in your intro? Is it The Nutcracker? If so, which part?

Czech music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

React to DON JUAN by Strauss

Listen to Kapustin

Yo Gidi u should react to classical music mashup, it is made by a lot of famous classical pieces and combined into a very creative yet wonderful piece

bro what's the intro song ?

Hey, Gidi. Can you react to the Contemporary Classical composer Takashi Yoshimatsu?

Your Ř is pretty good! Also, since you're already doing Czech composers, maybe you could throw a listen to Martinů? I especially recommend the first symphony
