I. Moderato, quasi marcia 00:05 II. Minuetto. Tempo di minuetto 04:37 III. Andante con moto 11:30 IV. Finale. Allegro molto 20:40 Cheers guys, amazing performance!
Thank you so much for these stage@seven posts. They have helped to preserve my sanity during isolation. hr is among the finest orchestras out there. The sound engineers are at the top of the heap. World champions!
At this point, I'm 90% here just for the pure joy on the face of Andres Orozco-Estrada at the end of each piece :)) So so very grateful for the music you have shared with us in quarantine!
Thank you for listing the names of the players. Though I would have thoroughly enjoyed the performance had there been no video, shots of Mr Orozco-Estrada's face and those of the musicians, oboist Nicolas Cock-Vassiliou especially, make this video all the more delightful. Kudos to the audio and video directors and technicians for making this, indeed, all of the hr-Sinfonieorchester presentations, a highlight of every day I listen and watch.
I was afraid we would have no more videos from this outstanding orchestra for months. A small ensemble is perfect, as they can spread across the whole stage. Some day I hope to be able to travel again and hear this orchestra in person.
Elegant smooth and gorgeously weaved sound/playing of this gem. I was so very fortunate to see Marcel Moyse conduct this in his grandson's barn in Vermont in 1981!
As a RU-vid-only viewer, I miss these smaller arrangements. Individual performances and sounds shine through. I'll bet the audio and video folks like it too :)
Beautiful and lively performance of this late-romantic and well-composed serenade with mild sound of all the winds as well as deep sound of cello and bass. The virtuosity of all the players is truly amazing. The brilliant conductor leads the excellent ensemble in a well-phrased and rhythmical tempo and with perfectly united dynamics. Simply wonderful!
Antonin hast die Flöten vergessen. Nein, nein ich weiss es ist nicht schwer!! Just kidding. Excellent performance of wood winds of my favourite orchestra. Thank you Andrés and musicians!!
Thanks Stage@Seven for this opus from Dvorak that I did not know. It sounds like a dancing interlude, or a cavalry march. The slow movement is more romantic, reminds me of the superb serenata for strings. Dvorak was a truly great composer, his inventiveness and variety is impressive. The rendering by the winds from the Frankfurt Radio Orchester is excellent, not to mention the "coronavirus setup". In these times of solitude and introspection, a welcome respite and great music.
beautiful work and wonderful interpretation! 0pus 44 by Dvorak is a gift to the world, just like so many more of Dvorak´s works. Great balance beetween the instruments and a strong sense of progression in how the music moves forward.
Die Dynamik ergibt sich doch von alleine - bei so einem eingängigen Stück und so tollen Musikern.. Muss man da noch so wedeln und die Ritardandi und Cäsuren der Bläser verundeutlichen und verschleifen durch zu eilig gegebene Akzente?
@@Jajadore I've come to the conclusion that it's just where this hall happens to have their microphones affixed and they didn't feel like rearranging them
I would say primarily to add weight to the bass part, which normally are just the bassoons (not an instrument that projects too well). In fact in most forte sections all they are doing is doubling the bassoons. It also rounds out the overall sound by softening it somewhat, which is something I personally really like.
Dirk S, You are so right! Dvorak was all about blend and balance, and that's exactly what those two stringed instruments provided!! Dvorak was so great!!
