@@dbproducelimitada That's the one!

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

OK, il a une tête de bouledogue. Mais pas plus flippante que celle de Ch. Eschenbach, qui rappelle vraiment Voldemort... Mais ne sont-ce pas d'excellents chefs?

This is the second version. The first versión is longer especially the first movement.

It is curious but in this second version there are passages (the initial allegro) and the sherzo that recall Beethoven

​@@manueljoseblancamolinos8582 sometimes I prefer the first version. The first subject of the original version of the first movement becomes here the second subject.

@@felipeeduardodelarosabocan5655 Efectivamente así es. El primer movimiento en su versión original es una imponente pieza. En cambio a Tchaikovsky le pareció unos años después que la complejidad del movimiento era insoportable e introdujo, en muy poco tiempo, las modificaciones que dejaron este movimiento tal y como ahora se interpreta. Es curioso que cuando Tchaikovsky compuso esta sinfonía en 1872 le pareciera su mejor obra hasta entonces y que en 1879 calificara al primer movimiento como insoportable hasta el punto de escribir otra versión aunque esta segunda versión es más bien una simplificación del movimiento original con muy poco material nuevo (por eso Tchaikovsky pudo hacer las modificaciones tan rápido).

@@manueljoseblancamolinos8582 I didn't know the first version survived! I knew Tchaikovsky was dissatisfied with the first version, and heavily revised it, but I thought he attempted to destroy all copies of the first version. Apparently he didn't succeed. I'd be interested to compare the two.

Your joking , in many cases that's exactly the point. He could have a concert in the morning , say in Turkey, and at the night of the same day - in Israel ( or even in Japan). But specifically in this record the tempo isn't that fast - I think it's more about Russian borderless spirit , foreigners don't always get.

@@ediccartman7252 Sounds better when not rushed.

You can really tell?

That's right! From now on we will also call it "Ukraine"!

I'm absolutely agree)))

I can't disagree; there is a resemblance, but I'd never point it out to her after the disgraceful behavior of MM.

@@edifyguy Exactly what "disgraceful" behavior are you referring to?

The video definitely cuts a couple minutes of applause, since it is rhythmic right before they start the encore, which only happens after a few exits and reentrances of the conductor.

K. M. Hill - That's OK, you only have ONE pair of ears.

With people like you there would be no higher culture and education. The world would be miserable.
