Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 - Dima Slobodeniouk - Sinfónica de Galicia 

Everything this orchestra does turns to gold. Perfect ensemble, perfect feeling, and most importantly they seem to love what they're doing. Dima Slobodeniouk is a great conductor, always attentive, always taking and giving. Rachmaninov had a lyric gift second to none.

This orchestra goes from strength to strength! Mozart? They can do it. Bruckner (I've watched their 4th with Skrowaczewski dozens of times and have linked it on to many others). And now a fine performance of the Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony. This is a world-class orchestra. Hats off, as well, to the audio-visual technicians! These are great concert videos. Thanks so much for sharing them with the rest of the world.

Estoy entusiasmado con esta orquesta y este director

This orchestra does not cease to amaze me. They are so great, my God. Congratulations once again!

Siempre una delicia escuchar a esta Gran Orquesta Sinfónica. Saludos y mucha fuerza a todos y todas.

Muy bien el clarinet Juan Ferrer.

This orchestra is up there with some of the best in the world! It's always a treat to listen to everything they play

Great Orchestra!! Timpani and Percussion part have a very powerfull sound👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome!!!!

I love when during the Adagio the musicians express so well the always present sadness of Rachmaninov in their faces and postures, especially during the clarinet playing. I happen to be Chilean and so these faces seem to me very well known as I carry quite a bit of Spanish blood. These guys make me feel proud of my ancestry. I find particularly cute the female cellist who sits at the end of the cello section and who wears a dress with some sort of horizontal lines. Equally the violinist lady who sits at the end of the section, alone. These guys are just terrific!

Maravilloso.. mi sueño es visitarlos .. amo mucho esta Orquesta

Another heart-felt, top line performance from this, at least in the UK, unheard-of orchestra. I have listened to many of their RU-vid performances with ever increasing admiration for their sound, commitment and general polish...they match up to the best anywhere. I cannot understand why on many performances, there are too many empty seats in the auditorium - the local population should be far more supportive of what by any standards is a very fine orchestra. Many thanks for continuing the excellent sound productions, and long may we all enjoy these postings.

After having lost my desire to travel internationally after Sept. 11, 2001, I have found a new reason to go. I have a new dream, to hear in person this orchestra with this conductor. The music they create is sublime. Thank you for awakening my soul again. This piece of music is one of my very favorite works, and your presentation of it has touched my heart. Thank you.

Dima's Rachmaninoff Symphony No.2 with OSG is modern, bright, stylish and so cool. It feels like the Mediterranean wind.

This is a wonderful orchestra as everyone has already said. The fourth movement of this work is very difficult and it comes after so much other stuff so it catches you a little tired but one plays it without any fatigue because it is the great Rachmaninoff.

What an incredible performance! My favorite symphony superbly played by my favorite orchestra. There’s nothing better in the world.

La orquesta ¡¡ como siempre!! Magnífica¡¡ la dirección del maestro, enérgica y delicada como la seda. El maestro, ya está llamando a la mesa de los mas grandes directores de orquesta.

"Sin música, somos seres vacíos, como un cosmos sin estrellas" Recién me enteré del lamentable fallecimiento del Maestro John Aigi Hurn, el hombre de la trompeta de oro. Desde Bogotá, Colombia, envío mi saludo de condolencia a su familia, a los grandes intérpretes que compartieron con él en la formidable OSG y a quienes tienen el alto honor de haber sido sus amigos.

Sergei Rachmaninoff brilhante! Dima Slobodeniouk e Orquestra Sinfônica da Galicia. ..... combinação impecável. Não há nada melhor para se ouvir numa sexta-feira a noite. Obrigado!

I was so hoping for a video of this performance! Rachmaninov Symphony 2 is one of my absolute favorites, and my favorite recording is by the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, conducted by Ashkenazy, but this performance is right up there with it! I wish I could have been there to hear it. Conducted perfectly! Beautiful clarinet solo! There is so much talent in this orchestra. Thank you very much for posting.

Me encanta, es maravillosa la interpretación de esta orquesta. ¡Felicidades!

Yo tengo espíritu. Esto colma días sin bares

Parabéns! !! Maravilhoso 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

Magnífico !

Es una obra maestra dentro del mundo sinfónico, un gran Rachmaninov, bien interpretado por la magnífica orquesta gallega. He escuchado más de veinte versiones y ésta es de las más brillantes y matizadas, si bien el primer movimiento lo encontré un poco lento en alguno de sus fragmentos, aunque sea un "largo". En todo caso una excelente y completa dirección. Una gran conjunción director y orquesta. El tercer tempo es un lujo de ejecución y belleza. Enhorabuena.

Full of wonder!

Heart touching rendering a great performance and full marks to maestro.

Os clarinetes "comandam" o adagio lindamente. Deus abençoe Serguei onde quer que esteja.

One of my favorite pieces of music. Beautifully played.

ANOTHER OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION BY THE ENTIRE CREW. THANK YOU

Симфония не простая по построению и звучанию поэтому требует определённого настроения при прослушивании. Трудно сказать какой темой её можно обозначить. Но в целом она создает определённое настроение,, которое трудно передать словами. Оркестр и дирижер на высоте ибо сумели её передать с высоким качеством. Спасибо. Привет из Киева.

Fantástico!

sublime! ♥

Simply glorious.

Great performance.

Love the passion of the cellos @59:58 (especially the two on the left, the red-haired woman and man with glasses) -- see also 47:30, . I wish the violins at say 59:50 had the body language to go with such a climatic phrase...that phrase really needs all you can give. Maybe even a more dramatic and sharp crecendo-decrecendo (which body-language might help convey). I can also hear the flutes at 49:55 and 47:27 very well...perhaps it is the beautiful wooden black flute the flautist is playing, or the miking.

Estoy totalmente enamorado de la violinista que esta en la ultima fila con un escote grande. Sera madre de por lo menos 3 pero la amo igual. Felicitaciones mamita.

And Dima by no means sits behind the 2 more famous Russian Vs, Vasily and Valery.

Cuando Rachmaninov vivia en USA le preguntaron por que era tan triste. Respondio que porque echaba de menos su pais natal. Me atreveria a decir que va un poco mas alla porque los rusos reflejan su tristeza (o tristesse como dirian los franceses, que es, a proposito el nombre de una de las obras de Chopin) en sus novelas, poesia y especialmente en su musica y uno de los instrumentos que usan para esto es el clarinete. Desde el comienzo de su historia los rusos han vivido bajo el yugo de dictaduras, hasta el dia de hoy, Como podrian entonces no sentir tristeza?

Das ist keine Musik mehr. Das ist ein Gebet. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Los unicos que se quedan un poco atras son los ultimos violines en la seccion, que me imagino los pusieron alli porque no pueden seguir a los otros. No se nota al escuchar. Solo lo se porque los arcos se mueven de ditinta manera

Molt bo el "solo" del adagio de Juan Ferrer.

30:59

Music should always give pleasure. Does Shostakovich give pleasure?

who is the new corno inglès?
