THESE SYMPHONIES JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER | Dvořák Symphony No.8 | Classical Music Reaction 

I've left you a comment before. Keep listening my friend. There is so much beautiful music that the majority of the population doesn't know about. I thank you for trying to spread it.

One of those pieces that repeatedly gives me shivers!

Its not the Symphonies getting better, its your Ear.

A riveting performance of an all-time favorite. I share the love.

Love this work, feel-good banger ❤ People be sleeping on my man Dvorak (i know he’s still a “popular” composer, but I still find him under appreciated) , he has such a incredible repertoire filled to the brim with gems in all sort of musical forms. Great reaction as always

If you love Dvorak, you really need to hear his Cello Concerto. Pretty much universally recognized as the pinnacle of cello writing, ever.

You have a great channel--I really enjoy re-experiencing these pieces with your reactions! All the best!

The 8th is such a marvellous piece. Real summer music. And Honeck really owns this music. That being said, I think it is time you try some more chamber music. One of Schubert's last 3 String Quartets: "Rosamunde", "Death and the Maiden" or the G-Major. Or the most perfect work anyone ever composed: Schubert's String Quintet. Music so precious that one has to take care not to listen to it too often,so it does not lose it's earthshattering impact. Or Smetana's Piano Trio or the String Quartet "From my life." Or the piece that put Beethoven's name on the map after he had moved to Vienna: His Septet.

so i play classical music basically as long as i can think. Now i am studying it, which is awesome. but seeing people discover these beautiful pieces for themselves without that background is the most rewarding and motivating thing that can happen. Thank you for sharing your reactions, please keep going

Recommend you listen from Dvorak 3rd symphony. This composer is one of the best who expresses lyrism, romanticism and specially the Czech nationalism in each masterpiece 😊

Oh my god, what an amazing video, Gidi! I watched this with a big silly smile on my face and the stank Stravinsky face simaltaneously. Not only is this Dvorak symphony amazing (this was my first reaction too), your reactions were gold!!I headbanged with you, fake-conducted with you and just had a bloody good time. Definitely one of my favourite videos on the channel!! 💖

The Czech Suite is another wonderful orchestral piece by Dvorak. As another correspondee has mentioned, Dvorak was also very accomplished in chamber music. Something not known by many ... when Dvorak was little known and struggling, Brahms sent him money anonymously. (I presume you know that Dvorak emigrated to the United States in 1892.)

Never heard this one before and I enjoyed it right along with you. Thanks.

Dvorak at his very (Czech!) best. Just to help explain the wonderful music that Dvorak could write, Gidi, he is universally acknowledged as the most constantly happy, unneurotic and emotionally fulfilled of all the great composers. All his symphonies from No. 4 on are excellent, as are many of his shorter works (try the fabulous Slavonic dances!).

I played this literally a few days before this upload. Such a great piece both to listen to and to play

Im so glad your reacting to a great orchestra that doesnt play everythin ridiculously slow

Make sure you listen to the Sixth and Seventh symphonies as well. Add the Fourth and Fifth for good measure, they’re terribly underrated!

Great reaction to what has been one of my favourite symphonies for quite a long time now. Many think the 7th is one of the greatest, but i enjoy nos 6 and 8 the most (3 and 5 are also wonderful) - Dvorak is a great composer for chamber music too.

I think you would really enjoy his seventh as well.

"Stop it. Get some help." HAHAHA love it!

To me, Dvorak's 8th symphony is probably the one piece that I think of as being most emblematic of his overall style. Sunny, extroverted, very much folk-inspired. I noticed your reaction at 3:00 -- it's a moment in the piece that immediately grabbed my attention the first time I heard it too. It's also a moment where the violas grab the spotlight, and that sudden change in timbre was one of the things that drew me to learn the viola myself. It was also Dvorak's own instrument; he made his living playing the viola in orchestras before he became famous as a composer.

I had a feeling you'd really dig this one!! Honeck recorded this piece with the Pittsburgh Symphony, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a lot like this performance which is very good, but with better sound quality and the Pittsburgh symphony orchestra at the top of their game.

you should listen to shostakovich 12

Told you so. Slavonic Dances are great too. Also recommend Saint-Saëns Nr. 3 and Shostakovich 11, 13, 10. And Brahms Academic Festival Overture and Mussorgsky Bald Mountain.

Hi Gidi, About Antonín Dvořák; I am glad you decided to ¨Czech¨ him out!😉

Dvořák is my favourite composer! If you love him, try his other symphonies (i love them all) his concertos, Slavonic dances, Piano trios no. 3 & 4, String quartet no. 12 "American", Symphonic variations, Ouvertures "In nature's realm", "Carnival" and "Othello", 3 Slavonic rhapsodies and of course his symphonic poems: The Water Goblin, The Noon Witch, The Golden Spinning Wheel, The Wild Dove. If you want hear some great and unknown music, try Hristić´s "Legend of Ohrid": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w5MFnMuXtRU.html

Gidi, have you considered learning an orchestral instrument and join a community group?

Like Beethoven, Dvořák could take the simplest idea (a simple triad!) and make something of it!

Mahler 5 😊

The "Dumky" trio is the most beautiful thing on earth.

Listen to Mahler 5 please please please

alkan op 39 no 8..... i mean do the whole thing if you want... but #8....

PLEASE do the Planets by Gustav Holst!
