I am a old Japanese Brucknerian Bruckner‘s symphonies are my soul Now in Tokyo spring is in full swing and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom The cherry blossoms in full bloom is a good match for Bruckner‘s symphonies I am listening to No.4 while watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom under the moon light This is a blissful time for me From A corner of Tokyo

[@ricardollaque7310]

Qué hermosas expresiones de este sensible hermano del Japón. Aprecia la cuarta sinfonía de Bruckner y a la vez goza de la primavera, la floración de los cerezos y de la luz de la luna. Todo un ser humano.

@@ricardollaque7310 Thankyou so much to your wonderful comment Please spend time for spirit I hope you are well From Tokyo where cherry blossoms fall , and young leaves are fragrant

[@staffanolofsson8201]

From Umeå in northern Sweden, where cherry blossoms still a blooming this 2022-05-29. Music is a gift to all of us and our mission is to take care of it the best way we can.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@shin-i-chikozima Thank you! I myself think that Bruckner is underestimated in European music history. About Japanese music I don´t know so much, sorry to say. But Japan has always been a fascination for many Europeans, for example for the Impressionists in their painting. Best greetings!

[@user-oe3ku5jj1x]

I always listen to this version of bruckner no.4. Best balance, fantastic horn, Awsome plyaing!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thanks, it is a wonderful piece!

[@rayevansharrell9773]

Bravo to the magnificent NDR and to Maestro Gilbert. NDR has been one of my favorite ensembles since Maestro Wand gave us such magnificently felt performances of Beetho en, Brahms and Bruckner. Now the NDR and Maestro Gilbert are turning the page on what is becoming a magnificent venture. Congratulations to you both.

Muchas gracias!!

I know Mr Gilbert very well by name but have not seen/heard my of his performances. And I have to say that I think this performance is outstanding in what it finds and brings out in the music. I look forward to hearing more.

[@NDRKlassik]

We are very pleased that you enjoyed the concert with us under the baton of our Chief Conductor. Here's our playlist of further concerts under the direction of Alan Gilbert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYC2ZWt8pbV6etU

Clear, balanced and natural. It's like a breath after a deep meditation. Look forward to see the recording of Bruckner and Brahms by Alan and NDR Elbphilharmonie.

[@NDRKlassik]

Ooh, we like this picture!! Thank you, much appreciated! :)

[@mr-wx3lv]

My goodness I accidentally opened this video right at the coda. It never fails me how Bruckner is a master of epic endings..

[@hannslunninger416]

Wunderbare Interpretation! Man muss dem Orchester zu diesem großartigen Chefdirigenten gratulieren! So tolle Tempi, eine unglaublich feingliedrige und sensible Zeichengebung (z.B. 2. Satz), aber nur, um den Klang und die Interpretation zu ermöglichen und nicht, um sich selbst dabei in den Vordergrund zu spielen. Tolle Musiker, die sich so entfalten und zu einer Einheit zusammenwachsen können. Immer wieder ein Erlebnis, vielen Dank!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen, vielen Dank, das ist ein wunderbares Lob! Wir freuen uns sehr!!

[@philthefox1948]

Cet orchestre de Hambourg est une pure merveille. Et Mr Gilbert un chef inattendu dans Bruckner. Bravo ! Et bravo aussi aux ingénieurs du son et aux cameramen! Je le regarderai encore Demain pour mieux approfondir.

[@user-cc2qo7hy6v]

Как же я люблю Брукнера!

[@waynelutton4634]

Great to encounter you here, Dmitry! The damned pandemic aborted my trip to Amsterdam to hear Blomstedt and Tielemann conduct Bruckner. Upgraded my PC speakers since I spend so much time watching concert videos and live streams. Hasta pronto! as our Chat friend Claudia Ochoa Cruz says.

[@maxfochtmann]

Добро пожаловать, Дмитрий и привет из Австрии.

[@srothbardt]

Great horn playing at beginning.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, this is our great solo horn player Jens Plücker :) www.ndr.de/jenspluecker101.html

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser großartigen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der letzte Satz klingt besonders schön und literarisch romantisch. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank, lieber notaire!

[@ccbdancers2075]

What a wonderful performance by the entire orchestra. The connectivity between the highly talented musicians and Mr. Gilbert was ever present and the ability to add a 'fourth dimension' of purposeful body movement by the musicians (while performing) was incredible and added to the emotion of Bruckner's Symphony No 4. The performance seemed flawless and perfectly balanced, a tribute to the bonded partnership of musicians and conductor. Beyond the complexities of delivering such a performance, Mr. Gilbert exhibits a reassuring and encouraging leadership quality that brings out the best in this special evening. It must be also noted that the facility is beautiful, the filming was very enjoyable, and the audio superb. Congratulations, thank you for sharing!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@hedahedoh4488]

Fantastic performance, Mr Gilbert! Now please continue to give us the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth, preferably with the Finale (a wonderful opportunity to get rid of the alte Zopf to suppress the Finale! I would rate you as a member of the daring conductor class of Harnoncourt, Rattle et al, to do that.)

[@waynelutton4634]

I will say that my favorite Bruckner 4th performance on YT is that conducted by the late Stanislaw Skrowaczewski with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia. But this performance you have just posted is really top-notch. Great, really. Kudos to your technical engineers! Watching on my home library PC, the sound is fine. As much as I wish I had been in the concert hall, the visuals on this recording help us appreciate how Bruckner assembled this symphony, including three trumpets and five French horns! Is it my imagination, but when Alan Gilbert was with the New York Philharmonic, I did not associate him with Bruckner. He is proving to be a noteworthy advocate for his music. Of course, this orchestra has been for many years. Thanks for sharing this concert with those of us who couldn't be there. I am sure I will watch it again.

[@NDRKlassik]

Act of prove greatness of Bruckner is still there by NDR?

[@robertoschmidlin7318]

Maravilhoso! Bruckner é realmente fantástico. Lamentável que muitas de suas obras não possam ser executadas por rasuras em suas partituras, cometidas pelo próprio compositor que, em sua obsessiva mania de perfeição, as corrigia inúmeras vezes após terminá-las, tornando as partituras incompreensíveis. Oxalá os especialistas consigam recuperá-las todas.

Schöne Aufnahme, leider mit miserabler bildregie! Solohorn so gut wie bei keinem solo im bild.

[@NDRKlassik]

Mhhh, wir geben es weiter!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I have learned that Bruckner, as the very religious person he was, always wrote the second movement as sort of a hymn to God. Is it true? In this case it means that the second movement Andante quasi Allegretto at 20:32 is a prayer. I like that thought, in a way all music is a prayer.

Hahahahaha ... Beim Dirigieren hält er die vorgegebenen Abstände ein, beim Auftritt nicht. Aber das haben Sie sich bestimmt auch schon gedacht. :)

[@kluetenkloeter]

Ich fordere jetzt die sofortige Löschung dieses Videos! Es verstößt gegen die Community-Richtlinien von KZbin betreffend Hate-Speech.

[@kluetenkloeter]

Was mich nachhaltig irritiert: Wie kann man Musik, die bei den Nationalsozialisten hoch im Kurs stand, einfach unkommentiert spielen? Wo ist die kritische geschichtliche Einordnung insbesondere der antisemitischen Einstellung des Komponisten? Stattdessen wird hier eine pompöse Inszenierung zelebriert, die es SO niemals hätte geben dürfen.

[@schiller2222]

Dann sollten wir doch die Bayreuther Richard-Wagner-Festspiele auch gleich verbieten, richtig?

[@kluetenkloeter]

@@schiller2222 Selbstverständlich! Dafür setze ich mich mit meinen antifaschistischen Freunden der klassischen Musik schon lange ein!

[@NDRKlassik]

@Fix undfoxi: Den Künstler für die Rezeption seines Werkes verantwortlich zu machen (anstelle für das Werk als solches), scheint uns zu kurz gesprungen. Diese Macht sollten wir den Faschisten wirklich nicht gewähren.

[@NDRKlassik]

Bitte bleibt sachlich und konstruktiv in der Diskussion!

[@hedahedoh4488]

@Fix Undfoxi: In aller Sachlichkeit, die wohl in diesem Fall nicht helfen wird: lassen sie unseren Anton Bruckner in Ruh und eifern sie anderweitig an ihren Woke-Klimmzügen. Bruckner eignet sich nun gar nicht für ihre Versuche in Reverse Digestion. Wagner haben sie ebenfalls überhaupt nicht begriffen.
