Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orkest, onder leiding van Antonio Pappano speelt 'P.I. Tsjaikovski - Ouverture 1812' tijdens het Prinsengrachtconcert 2013.
I'm 57 and had the great fortune of having my dad introduce me to this masterpiece when I was in my teens. Before he played it, he took the time to explain (passionately) the events that are supposed be represented by each section of the piece. For me, that made all the difference and to this day I can still remember the first time I heard it like it was yesterday. It is always an emotional experience. My dad is 86 now and we still enjoy this occasionally when we get together. Thank you dad for the incredible upbringing.
My dad did the same for me when I was a pre-teen! He also loved Cannonball Adderly, Lou Rawls and could build literally anything, all without a college degree: a very polymathic person, my dad! You're very blessed to still have your dad as mine passed eleven years ago from cancer.
@@Lubawaandme Good job. Despite your inability to get a measly 4 words correct, your broken English gibberish was close enough to remind me of the actual film. 👏
I can't begin to try to understand what it must be like to hear this in your head and be able to write down all the little parts and pieces that make it whole. It's one thing to be able to see it and play it on an instrument but to come up with it new in your mind and put it all together to make it sound like it does.....would it be a curse or a blessing? A blessing to the listener for sure but to the creator? The one thing that I do know is that this music transcends time and cultures. I highly doubt that in 100 years anyone will care anything about pop, rock, rap or any other modern popular music but the Masters will still be heard world wide and strong as ever.
Its different for different composers but most compose pieces in parts with regular progression, except for the atonal ones like Scraibin and Sorabji who wrote a lot of pieces with no progression. Bach is the master of melody and you can very well see the progression in all Beethoven symphonies, its as evident as the sky (except for the 6th).
Beethoven managed even after becoming deaf , it did take him a long time to compose his 5th. , these people yes perhaps hear it in the head . But , they are within the music , so perhaps they feel it not hear it .
I hear symphonic music in my head sometimes really loudly and all original, probably a symptom of having tinnitus - trouble is I can never remember it long enough to write it down!
I first heard this piece when I was about 12 years old, living in Colorado Springs on the 4th of July at Memorial Park. From that moment, I've loved classical music, and this piece will always be my number one. BTW, I'm 60 years old now.
So the year you first heard it would be 1976. It was the bicentennial for our nation. This music would've been perfect for the 4th of July celebration.
Quedo sin palabras cada vez que escucho esta obra maestra. No puedo evitar que las lágrimas afloren por la emoción que genera cada movimiento de esta pieza musical. Me siento tan feliz de vivir para escucharla, porque lo que vivieron antes de P. Tshaikovsky no pudieron disfrutarla. Gracias a Dios por este gran compositor que le regaló al mundo, en mi humilde opinión, la más grande y hermosa obra musical. Saludos y abrazos desde Panamá.
Ud. sr. a dicho todo lo que yo siento al escuchar esta obra. Mi padre admiraba a este compositor genial y desde niña lo escuché. Fraternos saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay
I have to agree. Brought me to tears. Antonio Pappano's beautiful conducting and exceptional performance by each orchestra musician made this an excellent piece from Tchaikovsky to listen to.
I tried not to cry and miserably failed. What beautiful, heart warming, exciting performance! The orchestra, the maestro, audience, the fires. PERFECT!
I’ve heard of many recordings of this piece, but this is the recording I keep coming back to. Perfect setting, performance, tempi, audience, everything . 🙌🏼
็Had Tchaikovsky lived long enough to be among the audience of this concert, he would NOT believe this was happening to his Overture which he once commented that it had no musical value but all kinds of noise. Tchaikovsky was rarely satisfied with his works and was always a cruel criticizer on his own outputs.
No, you don't understand what I wrote. Tchaikovsky himself said his 1812 was written musically with what he called "noise". Read again carefully. I didn't blame this performance. On the contrary, this performance was overwhelming !!!
tchaikovsky hated a lot of his work, the same thing happens with the nutcrackers. He was fond of sleeping beauty but in term of popularity, the nutcracker outsell everything else. Perhaps, it's the only "stable" thing every xmas
I am not Russian but this song melts me all the time the intro is just so heart warming Tchaikovsky probably resting in his grave listening to his intro and smiling saying “yes my ppl I’m listening am here with u all in spirit but my body still hear u my ppl”! He knows that he has left a legacy behind til the end of time. I love and wish all the ppl peace and blessings of Russia 🇷🇺 from Antigua 🇦🇬 with love🫶🏽.
My childhood memories of tchaikovsky are only the nutcracker suite and swan lake as our father took us to these ballets. I'm now turning 65 on May 6 and it's only now I'm learning his other symphonies he is truly a genius and master of melodies, no other but Tchaikovsky for me ✨💥🔥🎵🎶
It's 1/1/2022 England, I'm 52, male and crying like a baby; but with uncontrollable joy at this fantastic performance, from one man's mind so many talented, passionate people together making this cohesive beauty as one, and so many people sharing in the beauty of their performance as one. Incredible! Humans at their best. I'm blown away
Amen, I am a 51 year old male in South Carolina doing the same. If only the powers that be could have emotions we would live in a different world. I seriously doubt 500 years from now humans will say that this music sucks. I am very convinced they will say much of what we listen to today sucks. This music transcends all that is. Don’t get the serum and save humanity
That parts cool and all but my fav is the tempo change right after that. I’ve always felt those are the hardest parts to get down perfectly so I always have huge respect for ones pulled off right
I've long been a lover of the 1812 ... I think I just found my most favourite performance. Thanks to AVROTROS for this. Naturally congratulations to all of the musicians and the conductor, but also to the video and sound teams who captured it and brought it here! Thanks you seems so little ...
I've seen so many versions of the 1812 Overture. I've seen it with cannons. I've seen it with drums and cymbals. I've seen it with corks popping out of champagne bottles. And now I've seen it with muskets. I liked them all, but the cannons and modern artillery were actually the worst versions I've heard. They're flat, and don't duplicate well on recordings. Odd as it sounds, when recorded, drums and cymbals sound more like cannons than cannons do.
Agreed. I have a CD with actual cannons being fired and once you hear it played well with the deep voice of large cannon anything heard played differently is a letdown.
Obertura. 1812 una de mis favoritos del genial Tchaikovsky, simplemente Espectacular, me gustó, gracias por brindar estas creaciones de la música que permase a través de los tiempos.
Quel plaisir de voir ce peuple néerlandais qui apprécie autant la belle musique classique. On les sent tellement en osmose avec l.orchestre. Splendide et émouvant.
Happy birthday Pëtr, and thanks for all the wonderful music you've donated to us. Your soul will always show up everytime someone listens to your music or plays it, and you'll be never forgotten. It's amazing how you enriched the human culture and which powerful emotions you can instill through the notes you've written. Thank you!
Magnifica interpretación al aire libre por esta prestigiosa orquesta neerlandesa dirigida por el inglés de origen italiano Antonio Pappano de esta espectacular Obertura 1812 compuesta por el legendario compositor ruso P.I.TChaikovsky. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.
I'm a professional musician, have been so many years. Rock, country, blues, jazz... thats the stuff I tend to like, follow, play, write and record. I've never been a follower of classical music. I may never be. But if anyone, anytime, ever were to ask me what my single all time favorite piece of music is, it would be this. No remotely close second. I am referring to the composition itself, not this performance (which as of itself is splendid). Tchaicovsky's 1812 overture - its beauty, atmosphere, raw power and aggression, emotional impact, and sheer brilliance through its dynamics and perfect chord progressions, all amount to the closest to harmonic and melodic perfection in a musical composition one may ever get to experience. Kudos Pyotr. 🎵
Standing ovation, fantastic presentation - to anyone tuning into this segment be sure to watch all of the postings for this event as you will enjoy every one of them. What a great night from the World's Greatest Orchestra, the Concertgebow of Amsterdam. Thanks so much for posting. I enjoyed all of them.
Que bella pieza, despierta sensaciones y emociones de valor, fraternidad, orgullo, triunfo ante la adversidad. Gracias Tchaikovski por esta obra atemporal y trascendental.
How lucky were the good people of Amsterdam to attend this wonderful performance of the 1812. Having lived in that great City, I am very familiar with the Prinzengracht, but I was absent when this concert took place.
La Obertura histórica 1812 de Tchaikovski ofrece un fuerte contraste con su música romántica ,a los que nos tiene acostumbrada esta maravilloso compositor !!
Even though it's just audio this is my personal favourite recording be wonderful to hear what you think ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-koXmqRLX5eg.html
Está gran obra musical en ella se muestra el espiritu del pueblo ruso por defender a su patria de los ejército francés y en una gran opera fue plasmada está gran victoria
desde el puerto de San Antonio, Chile, en mi opinion obertura 1812 constituye la mas hermosa obra de todos los tiempos, obra papetica y poetica del legado que nos dejo el gran genio
I remember about 60 years ago I heard someone comment on the smoking of weed. "Get high and listen to '1812 Overture'... So I did. This was an extraordinary performance. Thank you!
Music is universal. Crossing temporal and spatial barriers, that audience could have been the same as the one at Woodstock. The joy, rapture is exhilarating.
Divya Pal Singh..... sure a bunch of high degenerates...sure....woodstock was an example of celebrating your own cultural decline and decadence... this transcends " pop " culture.
Algo más universal que la música? Autor ruso, orquesta holandesa, durector británico de origen itálico. Se escucha en todo el mundo... Excelente versión
Su vida matrimonial con Antonieta que triste el tipo era gay y en esa época era prohibido serlo en Rusia. Ella pasó sus últimos días en clínicas psiquiátricos y él plasmó su tristeza en la música 😢
Внучке 7 лет. Она первый раз была в консерватории, послушала мое любимое произведение. Я думала она не выдержит. Она сказала : бабушка еще пойдём на Чайковского? Хотя перед этим мы ходили на Штрауса. Но Чайковский ей запал больше.я очень рада!
Despite the lack of canon fire as Tchaikovsky wrote this still is my favourite recording of Oyverture 1812. Perfect tempo and intonation. This ensemble's reputation proofs well deserved. @22Worzel, the conductor is a professional and while you may consider him overanimated I thi k his conducting is well in line with the meaning of the piece, and you can not argue with the results of the recording.
I got to play the 1812 for our H.S. Band winter concert many years ago (clarinet). It is the most exciting wonderfull experience I had the whole year. The end is marked FFFF which means AS LOUD AS YOU CAN PLAY. There are many intricate parts to play before you get there, and Tchaikovsky has no pity for those who are not technically proficient. This short piece is just incredible- tender, patriotic, religious, and all-out mayhem all rolled together. The outdoor performance at Tanglewood long ago combined the Boston Symphony and the Summer student orchestra combined (about 200 pieces!) with of course, real cannons at the end. I watched it on TV and wished its little speaker could have produced the full sound of that performance. It may sound silly, but this piece makes my heart race as it builds and builds - even though I hate all wars, I love great music.
I can still remember the privilege of hearing the 1812 Overture performed live at the Antietam Battlefield National Park, it was performed by The Maryland Symphony Orchestra accompanied by live cannons and local church bells. It was in the latter half of the 1980s.
Как хорошо, что этот славный человек, Чайковский, наш соотечественник. Отдал долг великой, европейской культуре, прекрасным музыкальным произведением. Браво. Музыкантам респект.
