Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé - 2. Suite ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Alain Altinoglu 

Its not debussy

@@mmarci23 Do you know what a joke is? Doesn’t seem like it.

Sebastien Wittiber! :D

Absolutely correct sir.

Totalmente de acuerdo...

Oui absolument. Post-romantique ça l'aurait fait grincer des dents mais avec la distance oui. Pour la France j'ajoute Rameau. Claude... oui, bien sûr !

Don't forget Le Tombeau de Couperin, the F Major Quartet, Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and String Quartet, Gaspard de la nuit, Pavane pour une infante défunte, etc.

And then the arm-waving clowns get all the credit.

True, but I also think it’s a nice compression of the themes of the ballet and is lovely for anyone to hear, it ESPECIALLY those who already know the ballet itself- I don’t think the swan lake shouldn’t be performed as suite with an orchestra because they don’t play the ENTIRE BALLET😂 but then again it is different, the themes that appear in this suite do appear out of musical context when taken on its own... it sounds fine to me though idk, people seem to love this

That's not Tarantino. It's Henry Thomas. ;)

The horn player is way cuter than Taratino.

hahahahaha

Yep. QT for sure. On French Horn.

@@Quotenwagnerianer Nope. It's Quentin.

Yes, large works would no longer fit on stage. But many works, even the larger ones they did play, profited from the chamber music clarity provided by the spaces used.

Huh? Looks all normal to me.

Clara is also principal flautist with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, so perhaps she was busy with them for this performance. Or touring as she does. But both Clara Andrada de la Calle and Sebastian are superb principal flautists.

One flutist who gets overlooked is Bettina Hommen-Elsner, who usually plays 2nd in most cases

Ravel is at the extreme of both ends - joy to hear, hell to play 😂

Should be obvious. Too expensive. And "some"? So far I have heard not a single recording of this Suite that had the choir. Ony the integral recordings of the entire ballet have it.

@@abaco62 Doesn't count. That is the complete ballet. That is always performed with the choir. The Suite however I have never heard with choir.

I think it's a matter of tradition rather than costs. In a performance of this kind, the Chorus is not used, although it should be. Most Choruses perform for free with an Orchestra as their invited guest, in part, because it gives them exposure (I know from having sung in the three major Orchestra Choruses in the US) where the choristers have to pay their own expenses if they are travelling to perform with an Orchestra. This is also the case for Orchestras that have their own Chorus. All Orchestra Choruses should be paid, just like the orchestral musicians are paid. Perhaps the hr-Sinfonieorchester pay the choral ensembles that perform with them, but that's not usually the way it works. In this performance, they performed splendidly, as they always do. Very grateful to them that they make their superb performances available internationally in video format. Their production crew is also excellent. Danke.

I agree about that the cost is not the matter, but sometimes is about the logistic. Where to put the choir, back stage, all the rehearsal schedule and so on. That the difficult part. And also get a choir is not SO easy, and if it is just for the suite and the choir is not really necessary, is not required. In case of pieces like for example The Beethoven 9th or a Mahler's symphony or Carmina Burana that is a Cantanta and all that kind of music thar the choir is the main thing, or at least in some parts, then the choir is request. In this suite, or the polovsian dances or the Peer Gynt suites (to give you some examples), the choir is not THAT necessary.

What are you talking about?? It's an AMAZING response! What are you expecting? This couldn't possibly be a more loving appreciative audience. Are you deaf?

Ja, sie ist ein bisschen lang. Ich mag sie aber. Ich glaube, dass sie genial klingt. Man weißt nicht, wann der Akkord aufhören wird

That's a matter of taste. There is no exact length to a fermata.

@@paulsomers6048 Of course it is. My inner pulse told me that it should've been over 3 seconds earlier. ;)

@@Quotenwagnerianer Perhaps a preface like "imho" would have made your comment seem less arrogant.

@@paulsomers6048 Perhaps looking at the emoticon at the end of the comment, would have told you in which vain it was meant.
