Hans Gansch - Alpine Symphony (Seiji Ozawa with Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra 1994) 

Hey trumpets, you're looking for 19:48

I was at the concert in Cologne. I was crying during the performance. Everyone had tears in their eyes. The music was so beautiful.

Rest in beauty, dear maestro Seiji Ozawa. I bow to you. Very great giant among conductors.

Legendary performance, starring one of my favourite trumpet players, the incredible Hans Gansch!

Trumpets are indeed incredibly powerful and display incredible stamina in this insanely difficult piece. The high notes are high, unflinching, loud, sustained and sit atop the rest of the ensemble as if the trumpets are suspended 20 feet in the air above the rest of the orchestra. There is no sign of fatiguing over the course of the piece either, which is a big distinguishing factor in various recordings of this piece. To this point, please note: 4:33, 20:24, 40:00. Additionally, the passage at 21:57 reveals the virtuosity of its player. Just love this. Wish I could find a better quality recording.

The great Ozawa!

19:56 solo Hans Gansch!

I have this on tape too, its as good live as on the cd! WDR should release it on DVD/Bluray with the Pulcinella that was played before the break! Wish i would have been in this concert.....

Wunderschön. Einfach beglückend. Hans Gansch ist der Größte.

I'm so glad to have it on original CD. The mightiness of the performance is blowing my mind whenever I listen to this. Hans Gansch in his "badass" times. I could hear Strauss' masterpiece several times live, Thomas Lachtners performance and powerplay on principal trumpet in St. Pölten with the "Tonkuenstler Orchester" in 2009 is the only one I know which is equal to this.

thanks for the uploading, its a LEGENDARY!!! Koncert

Danke! Wichtig, dass solche Aufnahmen die technischen Entwicklungen überstehen und mitmachen!!!

Preciosidade!!! Obrigado por compartilhar!

Fantastic!

Too bad the sound isn't better. Glorious performance. Especially the Ausklang. After all that playing your guts out, to hit those soft high notes so beautifully, in the horn and trumpet.

R.I.P. Dear Seiji Ozawa

Awesome, just awesome!

Hans Gansch performs some of the best trumpet playing this world has ever heard. He is assisted by a very solid Principal Trumpet colleague Hans Peter Schuh.

Wow great performance! I wish Ozawa had recorded it

wahnsinnig gut!

Bravissimo e stupefacente esecuzione tromba impeccabile stratosferica

come on, WDR, make a bluray of this concert! Include the Maskerade ouverture by Nielsen and Pulcinella (Stravinsky)!

Vynikajúci výkon dirigenta a orchestra ... krásna farebná skladba ...

R.I.P Seiji Ozawa

Maravilloso!!!

Wenn jemand ab Minute 25, nicht zwei Minuten lang durchgehend erfriert und Tränen in den Augen hat, hat glaube ich kein Herz. Vielen Dank für diese Interpretation

Legendär

Der Hans, der kann’s! Super 🎺!

Mighty!

c'un enchantement

Superb, especially the chorale playing from 43:00 onward.

Maestro Ozawa👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Muito lindo

39:55 rip Franz Zamazal. Terrific percussionist

Just for the record, you Strauss devotees know that the Alpine Symphony is NOT a symphony: It is one of Strauss’ most famous TONE POEMS!

Lars Stransky deserves anything he wants.

Какие люди молодцы посещают концерты классической музыки разбираются в этих звуках испытывают потребность в этом.это какой скачек в сознании хомо сапиенц от волоса того мычащего с неизменными инстинктами до уровня высоких много значимых звуков музыки и надо учитывать придумали такое многообразие инструментов

Would love to see and hear a clean version of this video. I have the recording they made. It is sublime.

Did Mr. Hans Gansch also play the 1st Trumpet in the Alpine Symphony recording with Seiji Ozawa & Vienna Philharmonic in 1996?

Young Gotthard Eder!!

Love the off stage brass at 8:01

God 21:57 is an absolutely brilliant interpretation

Hans Gansch plays 1st trumpet.

In what years did Hans play in the VPO?

Say, gee!

why are there ads.....

19:57

Is there a CD with Ozawa and the VPO doing this piece available?

19:54-

19:53 Auf dem Gletscher

19:54 すげぇ

This is the best performance of the Alpine Symphony I've ever heard. It's very sad comparing how good the Vienna Philharmonic's trumpet section was and how bad it's today. Look at their performance at the Proms in 2012. The solo trumpet is simply embarrassing.

Who is the 1st oboist?

41:00

Auf dem Gletscher 19:54

Just as God had prepared a Garden for man’s physical well-being, I believe He commanded all of creation-trees, plants and animals, everything-to produce music for the soul of man. Man had only to listen with the ear of the heart to hear the symphonies pouring forth from the cosmos: Composers had only to listen and RECORD what they each heard through the filters of each ones individuality! You don’t accept what I say? Okay, but will you say that man himself originated the other-worldly music attributed to Strauss, Bach, Beethoven, Mahler and others?

Unfortunately, this record sound is not much good (VHS Tape). :/

...dürftige Kameraführung.....

On the summit is to slow. The brass section is dying!
