In addition to the outstanding performance of the orchestra I think the camera work also deserves a lot of praise. They did a great job in capturing the joy of this wonderful symphony.
This conductor infects his orchestra with his own fire and grace... every one seems to genuinely enjoy producing the music under his direction... other orchestras seem frozen by comparison... manu kudos to all!
Ich finde es sehr spannend, wie Menschen trazendieren durch Zeit, überlassen kleine Vermächtnisse, die werden künftig von andere Menschen aufdecken. Ohne Zweifel hatte Schubert der Welt viele Meisterwerke zu geben.
I've read all the comments below and have now decided to only listen to the music and forget the comments as I'm totally out of my depth with those discussions about repeats and what-not. I'm thoroughly enjoying the performance and the sound quality is superb. Well done Frankfurt Radio Symphony and your sound engineers. This is how I like to hear an orchestra. I've always maintained - in my opinion of course - that the best seat in the house is the conductor's podium. Imagine getting all that sound in true stereo - one's ears - surrounded by the orchestra. Heaven.
Sin duda es una de las mejores interpretaciones que he escuchado de la Sinfonía "Grande" de Franz Schubert. Andrés Orozco Estrada ha puesto toda su emoción y carga espiritual en esta obra maestra del sinfonismo romántico. BRAVO MAESTRO!!!
After having red many comments all of them, praising the outstanding performance of this wonderful Orchestra conducted by Maestro Orozco-Estrada, it is hard to understand the thumbs down. Who can seriously opine negative way? Unless other conductors (no offense) or musicians (no offense, either) with perhaps no valid arguments. .
Some people cherish a particular conductor or performance in their music collection. They feel an odd need to attack or dismiss any other performance. Maybe they feel threatened or just want to be arrogant. They usually come across as annoying, meanspirited jerks. 🧐
Magnifica interpretación de la Sinfonia Nº 9 apodada "La Grande" del compositor austriaco F.Schubert por esta prestigiosa Orquesta Sinfonica alemana con sede en Frankfurt excelentemente dirigida por la batuta de colombiano Andrés Orozco Estrada. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.
Desde Frankfurt le contesto a usted que esta orquesta es nuestro orgullo y maestro Orozco-Estrada una verdadera joya. El entiende perfectamente a la llamada musica austro-alemana y nos hace descubrir cada vez mas detalles preciosas. Su entrega es absoluta.
Исполнение прекрасное. Слушать и слушать. Работа звукорежисера на высоте. Дирижер, как говорят, на своем месте и у него все получается. Привет из Киева.
Wow, bravo! Adoro Schubert!😍😭 Fabulosa orquesta! El oboe, el clarinete o la trompa se lucen especialmente! El maestro Orozco-Estrada genial, capaz de dirigir con mucha claridad, pasión y de transmitir muchas emociones. Ojalá pudiera verlo dirigir alguna vez!
Beyond brilliant rendition! The way the momentum is sustained throughout the first movement - absolutely perfect. Bravo indeed, and thank you for the recording!
‘Con moto’ could describe the whole symphony! And so much melody! A great performance, which is usual for this Orchestra and Maestro Orozco-Estrada. Bravo!!!
@@ChristopherBonisBefore experiencing (not just listening to) this symphony in full I wouldn't have agreed. That 4th movement is just so perfect to me, especially the section at 41:58, It makes me genuinely happy every time.
It's *your* personal favourite. That doesn't make it the greatest symphony of all time. I love my cat, but it would be arrogant hyperbole to say that makes him the greatest cat who has ever lived. . . . even though he is. 😸
@@TheStockwell I have no personal relationship to this piece. It’s but an extraordinary work of musical genius by one of the greatest composers of them all. If only he could’ve lived longer…
Je ne connais ce chef que depuis très peu de temps. Ses interprétations sont éblouissantes. Il vit intensément la partition. Il se met littéralement dans la peau du compositeur. Quant à l'oeuvre, que je connais depuis environ 60 ans, je l'écoute toujours avec la même émerveillement. Quel drame que Schubert soit mort aussi jeune !
Incredible. I love this symphony ..such extraordinary thematic structure. The key primary key change in the first movement is divine, how the semitone shift completely changes the mood of the movement.
Full of felicitous phrasing and detail and unaffected by Romantic excess, free of the pretentious bombast that some conductors force upon the work, Orozco-Estrada's great performance of this "Great" Symphony is the most delightful and satisfying one I've ever heard, to the extent that he has forced me to take a fresh look at it. It has never been a favorite symphony of mine, due to its repetitious nature and (perceived) lack of contrast in its movements, but I've enjoyed it here more than ever. The passage from 22:12, from the dramatic pause at 25:14, and the Brahmsian (!) passage at 26:09 are all exceptionally effective. Bravo, all!
Hope you get a chance. It's a wonderful piece to hear live. So completely absorbing. One senses how hard the orchestra have to work, particularly with all those (essential!) repeats.
This performance is the closest I've ever heard that rivals the 1958 & 1965 performances by George Szell and The Cleveland Orchestra. The first movement transition from Andante to Allegro ma non troppo was executed superbly. World renown conductors like Toscanini, Furtwangler and Munch, to name a few, seem to disregard the ma non troppo and take off as though late for an appointment. I don't know what the musicians of the Frankfurt Orchestra thought of their MD but the vast majority of the performances are imo superb and worthy of repeat listening. The Mendelssohn 5th is just one that deserves to be thought of as close to seminal. I miss listening to Maestro Orozco-Estrada and the Frankfurt Orchestra live more than once every year or two. Thank you!
CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS FINE WORK SO BALANANCED AND WITH WONDERFUL POINT COUNTPOINT. THE CLARINET BRINGS GOOSE BUMPS TO MY SKIN. THE RYTHEMS ARE ALMOST LIKE THE BLUES AND THE FLOW FROM ONE TUNE TO THE NEXT IS MAGIC. SO MUCH BETTER THAN HIS CONTEMPORARIES OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! H VAN HASSELT TASMANIA😊😊😊😊😊😉
Endlich kommt der Schwanengesang von Schubert! Echt großartige Interpretation dieses großartigen Meisterwerks mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher, milden Töne aller Holzbläser und brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im majestätischen Tempo mit gut artikulierter Dynamik. Mehr als wunderbar!
Right after the horns at the beginning, the clarinets come in instead of oboes as in all other performances. This gives the beginning a wonderful velvety sound. Overall, absolutely perfect interpretation of this wonderful symphony.
Barletta Francesco Roma.La 9' sinfonia di Schubert detta la "Grande " è meravigliosa .Estrada la rende molto viva, romantica e musicalmente travolgente. Grazie grazie 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️ .L' orchestra lo segue magistralmente, fenomenali tutti!!!!!! Grazie 😊👍👍👍
Beautiful . It is also very nice to see a very young boy playing the violin beside an old " profissional " man . Thank you very much . I like it and I like the great Schubert .
The second chair and third chair first violinists are both in their mid-late 30s. They look young and I was surprised at their age when I looked at their bios on the symphony's website.
Maybe it's to make up for the fact that by the time he was 30 poor Schubert himself didn't look too good 😉 Just kidding, but it remains a great sadness that he didn't live as long as, for instance, his near-contemporary Rossini (even though Rossini himself effectively retired from composing in his 30s - but then he had lots and lots of money, unlike poor Franz Peter).
Titanica Sinfonia, il capolavoro di Schubert e grazie a Schumann che l'ha scoperta . Questa meravigliosa Orchestra ce l'ha fatta godere in ogni sua sfumatura . Anche l' Orchestra e' titanica !!!
discovered by Robert Schumann in Schubert bed and music room 10 years after the death of Franz Schubert ( schubert's brother kept the rooms in pristine condition for just purpose that there were great master pieces waiting to be discovered for the first time by someone other than himself. If not for Robert Schumann it would have certainly been consigned to the dust bins of history as thrash. Schumann prevented that from happening.
No offense intended, but no. It's a great story - and almost completely fabricated. The manuscript was already in the collection of the Gesellshaft der Musikfreunde when Ferdinand Schubert arranged for Schumann to see it in 1838. It was not miraculously discovered by Schumann in Ferdinand 's house - a decade after Schubert's death.
I had the great pleasure of seeing this concert live in Frankfurt. Everytime I watch this concert, I enjoy every moment and every note with a glass of red wine and think to myself: "It´s realy tragic that Schubert probably never had the opportunity to experience his magnificent work live." A matchless genius, chapeau!!
Hasta ahora prefería la sinfonía llamada Inconclusa. Con esta versión no sé ... Creo que ambas son magníficas. Muy buena orquesta y excelente trabajo del Director. Gracias por compartirla
I never run out of superlatives to describe you winds and horn section. They are simply wonderful!! Has your principal horn Marc Gruber been playing with the Berlin Philharmonic lately? I'm sure I've seen him in a few performances on their Digital Concert Hall.
Love all the many beautiful languages and cultures sharing their passion and praising words for a wonderous symphony. Cheers Bravo, Salut to all nations and peoples. Music is eternal with no borders
the added mics and state of the art recording tech allow the listener to hear all the instruments individually as well the music as a whole. makes the old videos sound inferior and outdated. also a good visual video of the orchestra members.
Wow now that's what i call being inspired. symphony discovered by Schumann who found the symphony in a heap of unfinished manuscripts stuffed dust laden which were barely saved at all. Or used as well paper. 10 years after the death of Schubert Schumann had a great intuition to visit where Schubert.lived and died in Vienna. went through much unfinished sketches and located this huge symphony and so impressed was Schumann that he christened it as "the great"...after that he befriended a young Brahms and mentored him maybe even heaping too much praise on him.
O gigante cede à relva e sente a brisa, brinca, olha a natureza no mais terno e mais selvagem...são os sentimentos de Schubert, de seus poetas, dos amigos, de tudo que admira (Beethoven...).
Great performance of a symphony that many orchestral musicians believe is about 20 minutes too long. They say it is “great” only because of its length.
