Tchaikovsky - Symphony n.6 "Pathétique" [1/5, Adagio] - Temirkanov 

This is, in my opinion, the best🌹

What an unlikely and intriguing conductor-orchestra pairing. It produced wonderful results!

j' adore le chef d' orcheste, c'est attendrissant!!

The most beautiful music!

Ich habe noch nie so traurige und zugleich so wundervolle Musik gehört.

Grande direzione nel perfetto equilibrio della piena consapevolezza di un dramma. Profondamente commossa ringrazio. Mirka

From my point of view, the best language which conveys emotions is music.

Heard last night in Milan, by Temirkanow, of course... =) simply wonderful!!

Bravissimo Yuri Termikanov!!!!

I love you Tchaiko!

Lord, the anguish in this music is absolutely genuine, some of the most intense musical statements ever written. It is said he wrote this symphony as an autobiography of his life, his loves, his triumphs, his losses & his death. He wrote the music, put everything of himself & his soul into it and prepared to die, which he did 9 days later. Everytime it's played he lives once more, freed from the torture of his human life. I can't help but cry. What an amazing sad genius he was :(

Absolutely magnificent !!

I'm crying right now !!

Semplicemente grandioso!!!

Definetly my favotite piece from Tchaikovsky

I write letters to Pyotr in my diary. He has been my hero and friend since my father introduced us (his music) when I was 3 yrs. old. He seems to be the only soul that understands mine.

Yuri TEMIRKANOV est aussi un de mes chef d'orchestre préféré : c'est net, bien ciselé, et mené d'une baguette forte, puissante et tout en nuances. C'est magnifique !

Profound. Tragic. Heart shaking. The musical equivalent of a person going through analysis, or the dark night of the soul.

Black bassoon.. absolutely magnificent..

All the human emotions are encapsulated and enshrined in this great work... The turbulence of human emotions and their resolutions, all were masterfully described and expressed through musical notes... It is an amazement that never ends... ♥ ♥ ♥

I listened to a recording of this every day for months as a teenager... wish I still knew who recorded "my" version. Fifteen years later, I can still hear every note.

ain't this beautiful? can't belive i'm going to see/hear this on live this next saturday!!!

Da se ja putam - nikakva "Patetika" - ovo je fantazija

@ASAngelo I don't know what to say to that other than thank you! This immortal work by Tschaikowsky has been close to my heart since childhood. It reawakens dreams for me, certain heartaches too. Have you noticed the opening measures are much the same as those of Beethoven's Sonate Pathetique - Beethoven's rhythm is dotted, Tschaikowsky's is even. I think Tschaikowsky is the greatest melodist of all, really......

It is a very nice concert. I appreciate this orchestra's harmony.

He reminds me of Abbado when the latter conducted the BPO. A director of a play draws his vision on a stage. A conductor says, 'Come with me on this exciting journey! Trust me!' What a wonderful example in this video.

ах*медве*ть я ещё никогда не ощущал себя большем эстетом чем во время просмотра этого ролика, круто, всё таки не зря Чайковского знает весь мир

well said. Music is an universal language. -a metal misician :P

emotional

My father told me once, about the Adagio Lamentoso... "A man who wrote such a masterpiece made it only inspired by God"....Now, i believe so. I agree entirely with thesilvershining.

Grandissimo Tchaikovsky !!!!

i love this masterpiece .its My favorite. a mexican guy

super, quel musique quel orchestre bravo

I like the natural sound of the audience, coughs and all!

It's not the conductors technique that really matters. It's the conductors job to be the communication between the audience and the composer. It's the conductors interpretation that earns them their fame and glory. If you look at some of the greatest conductors you'll see that a LOT of them don't have the best conducting technique(i.e. Herbert Von Karajan, Furtwangler, Toscanini, etc.).

De acuerdo con permea.El director es increíble.Tchaikovski lo lleva consigo y éso se nota.Impresionante.

Rabbrividisco ogni volta...

part of the conductor's job is to aid with interpretation. he is obviously highly valued for his ideas on how the music should be performed. don't be ignorant of this fact.

This is lovely...

at 5:25 so magnificient feel so moved that's chilling

favourite!

I agree, if it is just swinging his arms, he is doning a great job of conducting.

@thebadbrown The conductor doesn't intentionally put on a show. Often you will find in comparison to a rehearsal, interpretation will vary during a live performance. Which can be very understandable, depending on the conductors emotional attachment to the piece. When your sympathetic nervous system is pumping your brain with neurotransmitters, you will not act or feel the same way you would normally. Therefore, a conductors interpretation of a piece can easily change during a performance.

Tanto dolor y tanta belleza ,un ser único.

@mightyquincy109 The genius of a conductor does not come from watching how they conduct, but what they do in rehearsals. We the audience only see a very small percentage of the effort that goes into performing a behemoth of a piece like this at such a high level.

@luridplanet Isn't it funny, but I find the coughs and the pops to be so crucial in enjoying individual arangements of music... Even the clicking and fingering of the keys is beautiful, I love it all.

definitely should show more of the violas in the beginning. :)

belleza!!! supremo!!

Muito bomm...sonoridade magnífica da orquestra...

When I have the time, I turn this up loud on my speakers, I stand in the middle of my room, I pretend to be conducting the orchestra. It's like I'm drowning in pure emotion.

I haven't listened to much of this, but if you knew about Tchaikovsky's life, and of his "anguish" (my professor's word :-D) then an aggressive performance of this works makes a lot of sense. Just some food for thought!

I'm with you!

@Aaron741963 and to add to that, as far as I understand, what the conductor is doing on stage is just reinforcing the part by part explanation of what he wanted from the orchestra during a rehearsal before the performance anyway. It's just a show the conductor is putting on.

power Pro!!

GRAN SINFONIA Y GRAN COMPOSITOR

what's with the "Lady gaga sent me here!" comments? she's doesn't use this for marry the night, she uses BEETHOVEN'S pathetique piano sonata

Its simple and non religious AMEN!! Thank you!

SO MUCH AGREE:)

비애란 감정을 정말 잘 나타냈다고 생각합니다.

@toscaninizt You're so right! And they don't even get paid THAT well! Well said!

@kitchenqueen70 No, but many music scholars agree that it does seem eerie considering the circumstances that he died only a few days after the premiere of this symphony. Basically, they (as well as I) believe that Tchaikovsky may have very well written his very own requiem without even realizing it. Maybe he did. Who knows? I agree with @TallisTriptych. This is Tchaikovsky crying from the depths of his despair. I also agree that it's the most personal thing he's ever done.

Más allá del uso coloquial del término, "patético" significa "profundamente conmovedor".

@jorgealbertobaron2 si, que bonita la emocion que esta presente.

@toscaninizt For the record, the people in orchestras don't get paid large sums of money at all. On the contrary, many teach as a way of earning a 'more suitable' amount of income. But I do agree with the rest of your comment.

Why didn´t anybody talk about the greatest Clarinetist?!?

@LuizBHMG surely, this is a masterpiece

what should we say to this ?I want to live!It inspire us for all our lives!

@giobia88 Yeah!!! I can't understand how a person can dislike such a good recording of this kind of so genial masterpiece!!!!

@mightyquincy109 One of the principle roles of the conductor is to set the tempo -- a very important role. The swinging of the arms is a function of that role. And the quality of the performance is a reflection of the conductor who prepared the orchestra for this performance via rehearsal work -- another extremely important role. So I will not complain about conductors if the music is well performed, as it is here.

He reminds me of Abbado when the latter conducted the BPO.

His last composition - such a tragical. ბორჯომიდან წამოსვლის შემდეგ წერა: „ჩემი აზით, ეს არის ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე ლამაზი ადგილი მსოფლიოში“ / after leaving Georgia (Saqartvelo), Tchaikovsky said: "Georgia is one of the most beautiful place on this world".

@TheCriticAceEvans Yeah... If anything, there were some SERIOUSLY intense feelings of despair and depression Tchaikovsky must have felt, for various reasons-emotional, spiritual, physical/mental/psychological, loneliness, etc. He must have felt such intense feelings of hopelessness as to just take the "plunge"...

@Mizzles240 Well kidd.-o, "fire" is exactly the word you used. I'm sure the conductor who has the great privilege of having YOU in the orchestra is doing his best to train you to perfection as a learner; but you might stop a moment and realize that young man is no longer a learner, but a professional in one of the greatest symphonical orchestras in the world, "La Scala Theater's in Milano, Italy.

@aswallom Thanks for the comment. I couldn't agree with you more!

looooooooooool quite indeed

Gaga sent me here:) she is AWESOME. I mean what other artist would send you here??

un lavoro molto tosto

Is'nt this 1st movement is used in the Howard Hughes western... 'The Outlaw'?. I think it is.... and it is a bit more stirring than this version (good as it is).

@demifanperfect. Wrong piece, it was Beethoven's Pathetique in her video. But both excellent pieces! :)

@mightyquincy109 (continued) The challenge for the conductor is to find new ways of interpreting music that has been played countless times, which is why the rehearsal is so important to finding a conductor's true genius. It's obvious this man is one, just close your eyes and listen...

Pura estasi!

Lovely. I would like to know what the 2nd bassoonist is smiling at around 7:00...

Thanks to Galdo80 for posting this work, although I wish it had been in stereo (it is not), and he would not have cut off the last notes of the descending solo clarinet at the end of this part.

I didn't understand. Did you write "Lady Gaga" on the search bar and pathetic was the result??? =P... Great composition, I really love this symphony

@turxxx I couldn't be interested less.

@luridplanet haha holy shit yes!!!

@Gheorgyi: Well, they had Scott Joplin, Goerge Gershwin, Charles Ives, John Cage, but how many did have Europe in the same span of time - !

What happens at 6:48? Temirkanov drops his arms as in dismay. Was there some goof-up?

Personally, I love Lady Gaga, but she doesn't use this at all in Marry the Night. She uses the Beethoven Piano Sonata no. 8. Both are called Pathetique, but completely different. Jussayin.

@luridplanet try having an old guy breathing from a noisy respirator while seeing the vienna philharmonic

@JayOkan : i don't care even if he was doing himself .Althought , i din't have to know about this.I listen to his music since i was a little boy and he is like a godfather to me and i believe for many people .u don't have always to learn about the famous people's "kinky" habbits .

@Treijim I ll try that!!

@pointreyes6 what's wrong about the flute?

Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala of Milan, dir. Yuri Temirkanov.

Saw Temirkanov yesterday in Rome, he conducted Requiem of Verdi... it is easy to be "great" with orchestra, that can play also without conductor ... but if he would work with orchestra that has a level not so high, and if thay play REALLY according to his hands, i have a lot of doubts about result!!!

Ouví dizer que a música de Tchaikovsky conquistou não apenas a Rússia, mas também Inglaterra, França, Áustria e até os Estados Unidos. No final da vida, o compositor escreveu a sinfonia "Patética" - e patetica, triste, foi também s sua morte. Conta-se que bebeu um copo de água e ficou com cólera, uma doença muito perigosa.
