Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@astridarraut9502]

I am 82, I was 14 when I first heard this symphony , I felt fascinated, hypnotized, mesmerized by it, I still feel the same way. This is an excellent performance, thank u maestro Orosco Estrada, we all Colombians are proud of you.

[@joellepodwysocki9558]

Vous pouvez être fière Madame, Andres Orozco-Estrada's est un chef d'orchestre formidable, je l'admire beaucoup. Bien cordialement. Bonsoir depuis Paris.

[@oulipolesceptique9449]

Et moi j'avais 19 ans, c'était en fait ma première symphonie. J'ai maintenant 60 ans et, surtout après une représentation magnifique comme celle-ci, tout est neuf, tout est aussi brillant, aussi délicieusement grotesque comme la première fois. Bravo M. Estrada et l'orchestre de Frankfurt!

[@sheldoncurley5949]

Yep

[@janmccann8081]

@@oulipolesceptique9449 yes, I first heard this when I was about 5. My parents bought 4 vinyl records for our first record player and this was one of them. The cover photo on the record sleeve was an extract from Bosch Garden of Earthly Delights (the scary bits!), which also delighted me for its horror! I have always loved this piece of music.

[@mitchellforney6109]

Played a watered-down, wind-band version of just the 4th movement of this when I was about 13 or so; loved it so much I spent my allowance on a CD recording of the whole symphony. Blew my young little mind, especially when I finally heard the 5th movement! Berlioz is on a plane all his own.

[@TaKodaWilliams]

We did a strings and percussion arrangement of the 5th movement when I was in middle school. Berlioz has been my favorite since. My director sure knew how to pick music. My senior year we played Mozart 25, American in Paris, and Egmont. Sure do miss those days

[@rapmacl1]

This has become my new favorite orchestra! Love everything about them, and having so many full concert videos available on you tube hopefully is bringing them a wider appreciation. I must say that I'm happy the camera work has gotten MUCH better since this early 2014 production. Such things take time and their later videos (2017 to present especially) are as fun to watch as they are to listen to. Bravo a tutti!

[@hansverschoor6083]

Abolutely agree ! Il lke this orchestra more and more (next to the Concergebouw orchestra). When this Corona-disaster is over I will definitely go to Frankfurt to listen to a concert.

Wie wunderbar dass wir in Deutschland so viele großartige Orchester haben !!!!

[@BruceHartford3]

WOW. This rendition is absolutely delicious. I've never heard such control of tempo for this piece. Andres lets the pendulum swing as dramatically as I imagine Berlioz would have wanted. And getting inside the orchestra to really see them play was an absolute delight. If you need me I'll be here playing this on a loop. Forever.

This outstanding version and performance is the traditional quality for an orchestra formed by excellent musicians and conductor. I used to take the one with CS and Barenboim as the example of perfection... this one is even better. Congratulations to HR FRANKFURT Sinfonie.

Fabulous playing, conducting, filming. And composing, of course! Thank you!

[@kevwang0712]

Glad to hear the obbligato cornet in the 2nd movement. Of course it was added much later by Berlioz and is not strictly necessary, but I think it adds greatly to the vivacity of the ball. We need more performances with the cornet!

[@danilova0685]

[@costanzarosamongioi5989]

This piece is wonderful. I didn't know Berlioz till a week ago and now he's one of my favourites. There are no words that can possibly describe the feeling that this symphony expresses. Well done to the whole orchestra and director.

[@allisonlee2463]

[@exitolaboral]

The tuba melody of the last movement is something that I have never heard in other symphonic works that I know. It is very distinctive and very well depicts the "witches scene" of the 5th movement. For me it is one the best by Berlioz!!!

[@Elian-]

Hahaha, it's the only melody he didn't come up with, it's a direct quote of the Gregorian chant "Dies irae"

[@blahblahblahblah2837]

The brass is so much more prominent in this recording. Im hearing parts Ive never heard before!

[@lukebarrett8027]

Sorry I’m nerding out here, but there’s actually 2 versions of the symphony. They’re almost identical, except the 2nd and older version has some parts removed, like the cornet part in the 2nd movement entirely, and a couple other brass parts. Unfortunately, most symphony’s play the 2nd version, but this here is the original, so the brass parts are more prominent and actually present.

[@henrihorstmann9832]

An excellent interpretation after seeing an equally superb interpretation by the SSO last night. Its certainly a piece that grows on you. Also continue to be impressed by Andrés Orozco-Estrada's conducting. He has to be one of the very best in this era.

[@ninjacoughdrop]

What a lively performance! He seems like a fun conductor to play with.

[@alvarito45]

Si esta no es una de las mejores orquestas del mundo, en la cumbre de las europeas y por lo visto de sólo-solistas... no sé cuál podría ser. No exagero, pero la perfección es casi absoluta, que ya es más que suficiente. If this orchestra is not one of the best in the world and is not at the top in Europe and as we have heard formed of soloists... I don't know which could be!!!

[@frederickhill7181]

As time has gone on I have learned to love this work and appreciate its innovative qualities more and more. It offers an option as to how the symphony could evolve after Beethoven. It is full of innovation and novel effects which however don't exist as an end in themselves. The March to the Scaffold in particular combines jubilation with horror, evoking the holiday atmosphere all too readily associated with public executions. And this from a guy who could not play any instrument with proficiency!

[@tennislibra]

Well said

[@antoinemozart243]

When you listen carefully, despite Berlioz saying he admired Beethoven he was absolutely not influenced by him. Beethoven brings tension by development of the theme. In Berlioz nothing like that. The tensions are made by a succession of breakdowns intertwined with reminiscences. And he uses the orchestra more completely than Beethoven.

[@jasonbuckingham2864]

Some cool wrinkles! No one ever takes that repeat in th 4th mvt! Great! The approach to the finale was what I have always wanted to hear! Bravo!!!!!!

[@elmarkurze1800]

Das BPO ist unter Rattle oft sehr schlecht. Leider

[@derblindesanchez7250]

@@elmarkurze1800 , die Bläser vom BPO sind deutlich besser. Vor allem die Trompeter und Hörner. 21:20, sie haben sich verspielt, kann passieren, aber allgemein ist der Klang nicht ausgewogen. Das E der Hörner 19:35 ist auch nicht so schön, etc. Es gibt viele Details, aber letztendlich ist es eine Geschmacksache. Beide Orchester sind wirklich hervorragend. Auf der Flöte finde ich aber Emanuel Pahud (BPO) unvergleichlich gut. Meine bescheidene Meinung.

Ich denke, das das BPO sehr überschätzt ist. Doch es ist bekannter als dieser Orchester.

[@johannesbusemann9949]
