Strauss: Ein Heldenleben ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada 

this is one of the best ideas I've read on youtube. I will comment it on every video they post until they start doing it :)

Orchestras are not leveraging the information age. We should be able to see in an app who's playing that day at the very least.

You have never played in an orchestra, right? Never going to happen, two reasons 1) sports stars earn millions and can afford taxis home etc 2) musicians concentrate 100% of the time during each 3 hour rehearsal call and again during each public performane. Concert ends, most just want to run for their tram/bus to get home.

@@foveauxbear athletes also concentrate 100% of the time in their games. They also want to go home or enjoy the moment. It's possible for a short interview. They aren't dying after a concert, just tired.

​@@foveauxbearBrass players want to hit the closest pub

Thanks man!

Honestly saved my entire audition lol, no way I’m finding there rehearsal numbers otherwise 👍

you a real one

Ein Meisterwerk, you mean.

He is the best. Well, him and Schubert.

I don't understand why there are not many more kudos given in his direction. Outstanding virtuosity! What a musician!

David Trainer at this point I think they’re one of the world’s top orchestras.

@@m.2456which is the same thing, almost….if you are one of the best football players in Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Italy, France, etc…probably you are going to be one of the best in the whole world.

The Frankfurt radio orchestra is top 10 of world orchestras

Beautiful comment. I hope you’re staying safe out there my friend

Imagine the fatigue of the composer after this too, can't imagine how someone can compose like that, that orchestral counterpoint is so sophisticate... Yes, this is one of the best orchestras in the world (if not the best) and this conductor knows his job, great conductor, perfect tempo.

He deserves it!

@@sfbirdclub He's left now and gone solely to teaching, I believe.

@@johnvaughan7096 You‘re right, he is teaching now at the Musikhochschule Mannheim as the Professor for Horn, and does there a great job as well!

@@rauberhotzenplotz8069 Much less stress there, but what a loss to orchestral music.

I will buy one for me too. Maybe I will take some lessons too…or watch some tutorial about how to play the horn.

Thanks for this! The hr SO people should have done it ...

It is my favorite horn player in orchestra!

Es de los mejores directores colombianos!!!! El otro es Dudamel!!!! Tambien, orgullo de Colombia!!!!!!

@@leonardoiglesias2394 Por supuesto, por eso hablo de mi orgullo colombiano, aparte de la hermandad con él como generadores de arte. Y en cuanto a Gustavo Dudamel, hasta donde se, él es de Venezuela y su historia y oportunidad en la música para erigirse como gran director nació de la oportunidad y de la apuesta del gobierno y apoyo a los niños en el arte, dando resultados magníficos en la sociedad. Abrazo canción amor y paz. Bendiciones para ti y tu familia.

Enhorabuena y felicidades, tienen a uno de los mejores directores que he oído del mundo. Sus tempos son perfectos para mis oídos.

XD que miercoles hacen escuchando esto en la costa?? 😂😂😂😂

Yes, bravo indeed, but what about the concertmaster/leader of the orchestra? Wow!

Eh……te enteraste bien tarde , amigo….se ve que la musica clasica te importa un carajo…..callate, mejor.

😂

2:52 letter 9

yes he was and his music makes happy hormones

Those 7 notes right before the Reprise, to quote Federer "God, it kills me!"

My favourite moment is the transition back into the recapitulation back to the hero theme. That cadence is to die for.

Rubish.

@@leonardoiglesias2394 Rubbish is spelled with two Bs.

Fr

Like Pablo Escobar! Yeah!!!!!!!

I'll never understand why camera operators or producers will spend any amount of time away from the ensemble. There is SO much to capture. We don't need to see the hall, show the live players.

Como Carlos Kleiber!!!!!!!!! No hay caso, tienen que ser latinos! Mira sino Herbert von Karajan….

Where is Seidenberg going?

@@Pavamingo left for teaching

@@rauberhotzenplotz8069 Dankeschön!

lol brett and eddie couldn't sight read this piece but they encouraged us to listen so here i am

Tudo tem destaque, tanto instrumentos solistas como naipes.

I will find out and let you know. I remember it from radio also, then it traveled to TV with the same music!

I think domestic is better, yeah, it's like 6 years after this so I think it's maybe more mature.

Hello Honda. ListenEd to Chosta-Afkham at least a dozen times. Fabulous. Above all the Largo.

Yes it was. Strauss composes a lot of his other themes into is other pieces. He does this in his other tone poems as well. As well, he actually quotes from all of his other tone poems in this piece.

Where should they be seated in your opinion?!...

@@Pavamingo Considering they have zoom lenses, anywhere else would do.

jvdesuit1 I agree with the opinions you have expressed. But above all the last paragraph I found extremely interesting, my knowledge of Strauss's music being rather narrow - just the tone poems, the oboe concerto, the 2 horn concertos & the Four Last Songs.

If you're interested in operas there are 4 major operas by Richard Strauss to be viewed (I put a link to each one if available on youtube): 1/Elektra, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jq1qfG0r4LE.html and for the most famous Elektra of all times, Birgit Nilsson :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nfLUtGqaM5M.html. I possess also the audio of a performance given in Paris under Strauss's specialist Karl Bôhm with Nilsson, Varnay, Rysanek and Sotin. It was on April 25,1975. The performance was given in honor of Germany's President Walter Scheel in the presence of the French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing. Approximately mid way to the performance there was a general electric failure in the district of the old opera house; it lasted nearly 20 minutes. During that time the auditorium only lit by the internal electrical system, the two presidents went on discussing until the performance resumed. At that time we had a president which had a real culture, not like the fools we've got later with Mitterrand and consorts! If you wish a copy of the cd, it won't be a problem to make it for you. Unfortunately at that time vidéo was at it premises. 2/Salome (inspired by Oscar Wilde's play), This recording because Böhm again is the conductor but it's a movie performance, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ildwhas43sY.html 3/Rosenkavalier, Two magistral performances of this fantastic opera: Covent Garden with the great Te Kanawa bringing you in tears at the end of the first act: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3D7abQTy71I.html And The historical performance by Karajan and Schwarzkopf: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HAw4iDDWby8.html 4/Capriccio, Strauss's last opera ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EOFki9ykmBs.html . There is a fantastic production by the Paris Opera house with Renée Fleming unfortunately not available on youtube but availabe on dvd. It can never be exported because it uses the particular configuration of the Old Paris opera which behind the stage has a Foyer which communicates with the main stage whence giving a full perspective of 50m with the auditorium reflecting in the huge miror at the back of the foyer which very intelligently Robert Carsen uses at the end of the opera in particular. The main theme of the libretto is : what is more important music or words in an opera and for the countess it will be the dilemma whom will she choose between her two suitors, the musician or the poet; at the end she wont choose.

All we needed were some quotes from his greatest symphonic work "An Alpine Symphony." And also a bravo for the concertmaster.
