I watch this over and over again. There is something special in it. Perhaps the promise of Youth. Wonderful, devoted young faces and a really beutiful romantic music brought together by this wondeful maestro. I just love it. I think the excellent video recording is worthy of this wonderful piece of art! Thank you all, for causing pleasure to an ageing man! :)

[@ivanhajzin3852]

Je to překrásné, ale také je v tom cítit, s jakou láskou bratrskou se Slovinští umělci zhostili Antonína Dvořáka, cítím vděčnost a sounáležitost tak úžasného bratrského národa ze srdce děkuji

[@richardmartin6622]

Me too, another aging man

[@katrinat.3032]

@Gyumri Barta. I completely understand! Something about this conductor and these young people. I look at them and they probably don’t realize how richly they are living. I wouldn’t have either at that age! But they are just so talented, there’s just a certain chemistry here. ❤️

Joy! Another conductor encourages his musicians to let themselves feel the Joy of their music. The musicians so obviously feel joy here.

[@nicknick6128]

Прекрасное управление оркестром. Это настоящая школа для начинающих молодых музыкантов. О славянских танцах Дворжака можно сказать, что они пример точного выражения красоты и духовности славянских народов. Привет из Киева.

pro trick : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@canaanjairo301]

@Sean Vance Yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :)

[@corsair-qo7ox]

Dvorak was a master of composition and orchestration. The Slavonic Dances are an excellent introduction to his talent. One of the first composers to really grab my attention more than a a few decades ago, and it was from this batch of dances, instantly and irresistibly appealing.

Discovered this orchestra during lockdown and just can't get enough. This version is far superior to even Simon Rattle's. The flautists deserve most praise along with their mentor Nejc Becan. I'd love to see one of their concerts but I think that's not realistic. Hope they can at least record a DVD/CD. More, more, more!

I can see why this "student" performance is on par with all professional orchestras' I have ever heard. They sensed your love for them and they reciprocated it in terms of their hard practice and passionate performance! I did hear the "thickness" in the orchestra before. Now I know it was for a noble cause! You are a good man and an able conductor. Nonetheless, it is always cool to see saxophones in an orchestra!
