Fabulous playing! Excellent woodwind principals - first oboe in particular. Really enjoyable performance, conductor's singing along notwithstanding! A good year. More, please!
A little late with the CU of the four hand piano, but at least it's there. I saw Tortelier conduct this at San Francisco Symphony, about 20 yrs. ago, and it blew me away, so I see it when I get the chance. This past weekend, L.A. Philh. Orch. played it at Disney Hall. Sat right behind the orchestra in the 2d row, and everyone was leaning over the railing to see the 4 hand piano and the organ player in tandem. An odd, but pleasiing, difference in this weekend's work was that the conductor (another French guy...Louis Langree') added 4 french horns to go w/ the trumpets; luckily I was sitting right at the business end of said horns....pretty cool.
Eines der schwersten Werke der klassischen Literatur, gespielt von einem so jungen Orchester - Hut ab! * One of the most difficult pieces of classics literature, played by such a young Orchestra - hat off! 👏
Outstanding performance. Difficult piece to control. Excellent tempi maintained by Maestro Tortelier. This young orchestra played as true veterans. I still enjoy the old choir method of conducting without a baton. Only wish the organ had more wind.
Very good performance of the orchestra, the conductor did a superb job. The only disfonction or lack of breath was the organ, the star of that symphony. The horns were outperforming the organ.
sehr gute Interpretation, eventuell wäre der eine oder andere zusätzliche Bass hilfreich gewesen, aber das Gesamtwerk ist spitze , die Kamera Regie ist grottenschlecht, aber das wichtigste ist der Klang
