I so love this piece. I was fortunate to play principal clarinet with an amateur orchestra years ago and we played this piece. It changed me as a clarinet player. Not overly technically challenging but my expressivity as a player improved quite a bit I think. I never knew how much Brahms loved the clarinet. Bravo performance. Favorite Movement: Adagio non troppo III. Some of the movements featured the clarinet more but that movement has the most beautiful melodies. I remember thinking there isn’t any music more beautiful.

[@daniscot1721]

Me too, but I played second oboe.

Many thanks for providing these time stamps.

[@danbrown4090]

Grazie!

[@MonicaDelCarpio]

It's pure joy too see all these young musicians! And of course listen to them

[@joeboyle5864]

I’ve loved this incredibly joyous piece for sixty years. Now more than ever. Makes me glad I have ears! Great performance, too- these guys get it!

[@joeboyle5864]

I’ve loved it a bit longer (I’m in my 80’s) but it has stayed fresh. A voice from his (and our) youth!

[@dayradebaugh]

Good job on this piece. In particular, they got the tempo right. Most versions race through it, but this takes time to explore the beauty of the work.

[@BBayMys]

I never tire of watching the wonderful bassoonist.

[@Cedericoco]

Same! She's very expressive.

[@Tuxster3]

This is a serenade in name only! This is really a mini-symphony by Brahms! 😄😄😄😄

[@vangel1443]

OMG this orchestra is out of this world. What a rendition!

[@paulerickson5804]

This is what Brahms gave us because he didn't think he was yet worthy to write "a symphony!" The orchestra gives a sensitive and bright performance of this gem.

[@stevenhaff3332]

Very nice! Wonderful job by orchestra and conductor!

[@nsaunders51508]

That was a great performance!! Thank you!

[@timothythorne9464]

Nate Saunders not a perfect performance, but better than quite a few of them I've heard.

[@mariannabach5759]

Exceptional interpretation! Clarity, precision and freshness!

[@philzmusic8098]

Best rendition of the slow movement I've heard. It can easily drag.

[@atesorga7226]

For a young man and up-and-coming chamber orchestra to start this work invoking shades of Kertesz and Abbado promises an interesting ride ... We're not let down.

[@alistairkewish651]

The only thing you wouldn't expect to find in a chamber orchestra is four French horns and two Trumpets. May I point out that there was a chamber version of this Serenade which is, I gather, never performed anywhere. From version 1 we have the Serenade as we know it today. Parts of it belong to Bohemia and other bits are quite introverted. An intriguing mixture.

[@Creced]

Big sound when needed, but also the subtlety that comes better from a chamber orchestra.

[@timothythorne9464]

Creced this is Brahms inspired by the Classical style of Haydn and Mozart. The music doesn't sound like that of the two great Classical-period composers, it's pure Brahms and it's just wonderful.

[@ryojimartinez-mass8866]

with a french horn to make your heart melt

[@CarlosCastro-el1ex]

bella y sublime interpretación

[@cedericocosantorini8013]

Mon Dieu, que c'est beau !!! en particulier la fin du second mouvement, divin !

[@141gray]

a truly wonderful performance of a spectacular piece of music

[@gregoriokuhn9146]

Excelente. Bravo 💪💪👌

[@Cedericoco]

I like this orchestra a lot!

[@annamariamanfredi6624]

Very beautiful melody. Thanks ❤😊

[@mariasaleteferreiramagalha3626]

Espetacular! Grandioso!

[@davidjared3402]

Thanks very much, @Faust Chamber Orchestra, for this fine performance and the YT post. Movement 3 is my favorite. I first heard it on a classical sampler CD distributed by Gevalia. Took me a long time to warm to Brahms, but he's one of my favorite composers now.

[@MBOGUN1]

super !!!!!

[@bero_hpt]

composed in Detmold

[@ontheroadwithmartyandharry6000]

What an incredibly beautiful flute solo at the end of the 3rd movement.

[@Johanna650]

No se perquè aquesta peça gairebé mai la programen. És una de les mes boniques i es trist que es senti tan poc

[@paulcoret1526]

Much more profound with a chamber Orchestra.

[@edgarfelipemurieltobon5966]

Me gusta ese "género " menor de la Serenade en la estela qué abrió Mozart.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Not sure if I'm right but this orchestra seems to have a reduced string section.

[@danbrown4090]

Proprio bravi!

[@raymondgood6555]

I have this portrait of Brahms age 20 in my hallway.

[@paulfilla1008]

Ads kill the moment

[@noneofyoubusiness4895]

an unforgivable number of ad-breaks, sometimes in the middle of movements. KZbin is incapable of shame ...

[@maxfochtmann9576]

Комплименты, ребята!

[@141gray]

what on earth does this comment mean??

[@edwardnah6739]

This is fantastic work. In my opinion, String part should be increased as wind and metal instruments are larger sounds than Strings.

[@paddymeboy]

More like a symphony than a serenade. Sybil Fawlty didn't call his music 'that racket' for nothing...

[@joshhhgmontoya3948]

I didn't know Justin Timberlake played the flute too. 😂😆

[@MalabarTheGreat]

Justin Timberlake, on the flute!

[@fujifuji4420]

Strings should be better!

[@4klausmuc]

Well played. The piece reminds me of Beethoven. There are better pieces of Brahms.

[@user-nh8vu6gj7c]

アクリルアミド

[@141gray]

what on earth??????????????

[@maxpera]

never conductor has been more useless... the orchestra is really good. maybe the horns ...

[@jbut1208]

Did you have a sleepless night, mate? Why so sour?

[@maxpera]

@@jbut1208 no. no sleepless nights. I have two ears and two eyes.

[@hester1955]

Idiot.

[@lukefer7579]

The serenades are Brahms’ absolute worst works.
