Dvořák: 7. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Peter Oundjian

[@JT-qr8lt]

The best orchestra who offers their excellent full pieces free without ads to the general public! May this continue!

[@billgrange3189]

One of the greatest of symphonies - by any composer. Certainly Dvorak's best.

[@paullewis2413]

Yes me too. I'm a bit younger than you :-) but Y.T. has introduced me to a wealth of great music (esp. 20th c) that otherwise I probably would never had got to know. This symphony however is not new to me, I bought an l.p. of it when I was about 19 or 20

[@rodstartube]

yes that's awesome

[@geppy707]

Yes, it's awesome! I found lot of classical music here and I listen to many composer. I sometimes listen to opera with my grandpa but i still prefer instrumental pieces. Which is your favorite composer?

Thanks to the internet I can listen to whatever I want whenever I want. It also helps me hook up with lots of local ladies!

This has to be one of my favorite musical pieces. Every time I hear the ending I feel like saying "Amen."

[@luciusfleetfoot]

I love Dvorak's comment on this symphony. "God grant that this Czech music will move the world!" It did, and still does.

[@paullewis2413]

Oh yes. Without question one of the greatest symphonies of the 19th c.!

[@robertfrankgill5962]

[@trumpetvibrato3274]

I was introduced to this piece by a dream. I dreamt that I met Dvorak, and although I didn’t know much about him or his music, I wanted him to know I thought he was cool. So I told him I really liked his 7th symphony (even though I had actually never listened to it and wasn’t even certain it existed). Dvorak was very pleased to hear this, and told me that he felt his 7th symphony was underrated compared to his other works. After I woke up, I discovered that Dvorak’s Symphony No. 7 is indeed a real piece of music, so I had to listen to it and find out why my subconscious had recommended it. So, thanks to a dream, I’m listening to this marvelous (and indeed underrated) symphony for the first time! I love it!

[@jeffblack4039]

My deepest gratitude and appreciation to the musicians who give us so much beauty and joy. May you live forever and prosper.

[@reubenlee6438]

To me this is one of the greatest symphonies ever composed. The conductor and orchestra are superb in their performance. This is one of my favorite performances of this piece, from the chosen tempo to the levels played for each instrument. Wonderful audio and video as well.

[@Musicrafter12]

Unbelievably sharp articulation and definition in the inner voices, and exquisite, careful balancing. You can clearly hear every last fine detail. What a fine performance.

[@hughcapetien]

Antonin Dvorak one of the world's greatest composer, amazing versatility when he can speak through music from his Czech homeland in his early symphonies to even America's spiritual soul in his 9th Symphony - "From the New World."

[@jollosaify]

Antonin Dvorák was the best in orchestrate in his time, even better than composers with big name like Brams. Hearing works such as this symphony, we can feel the extraordinary homelands passion mixed with the most complete music ever composed. So I enyoy Dvorak every time here and there and for that reason he is and will be my favorite composer of all times!

[@paulbeard4218]

Good choice. Personally I've "narrowed" my favorites to about !0 ---Dvorak included .

[@pyroVoid]

The last few minutes of the third movement make you feel like you're flying. absolutely magnificent

The exact same. Best part of the symphony

[@RareguyUk]

I love this symphony so much. Even when Dvorak writes in a minor key it’s still full of joy x

[@verdiguy]

A lovely performance which makes you wish this symphony was performed as often as the 8th and 9th.

[@mydogskips2]

More; this is Dvorak's real symphonic masterpiece!

[@verdiguy]

I'm inclined to agree. Herbert Blomstedt led a wonderful performance with the Berlin Philharmonic last year, which was also, sadly, the last time I heard this splendid work until this video was posted.

[@mauricerivermusic9110]

And then there's the quite unjustly ignored 6th by Mr. D. What a great piece that is!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Yup. From the 6th on each Symphony is a homerun. I like this one the most. The 9th is so damned overplayed.

[@kuhataparunks]

I agree, there's not a single boring or monotonous section of this piece

[@lightspeed174]

I don't know why, but I just came across this wonderful performance. Outstandingly conducted and play by one of the best orchestras around.

[@doncat2009]

Went to hear this yesterday performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, UK. Super performance, conducted by Anja Bihlmaier. Dvorak was such an inventive composer, with an apparent inexhaustible supply of new melodies. Wonderful. Yes, the 7th Symphony should be as popular as number 9, the New World Symphony. Recommend that anyone interested in this listen to all the Dvorak symphonies.

[@Isaac-The-Colubrid]

This is a resplendent work of art. Thank you, Dvorak.

[@caldersmith386]

Upon doing a research project on this piece for my music history class that requires me to look at the score and listen to a variety of recordings (very typical, I know), it sounds as though the final 10 measures are slightly altered to include the 1st horn in the melody of D-D^-C#-C-A-G-A-Bb-G-D-F#. Though this isn't notated in the score, it sounds absolutely marvelous, and adds just the little bit of texture and finale that other recordings of this piece lack. What an incredible piece, and a stunning performance by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.

i always tear up during the third movement, and after doing some research i finally understand why. he had some internal conflict between his duties to his country and the death of his mother two years before. this piece, as well as some others, were created as a result of those. truly a wonderful composer- and a wonderful performance! thank you once again for a wonderful showing 💓

[@journeymancellist9247]

4:30- 5:05. Such a incredibly glorious build up to a wonderful sequence, Powerful and passionate, and then back down to gentle contemplation. Dvorak was far more of a genius than he ever thought, and his modesty is forever one of his virtues. He wrote a lot of mediocre music, and that’s OK, but his masterpieces will last as long as humanity lasts.

[@SAHogan-ih3bo]

author of THE DEATH TAX sez: Strongly reminiscent of Brahms' sheer melodic power, this majestic work holds its own against any--including that of my fave composer Brahms.

Peter Oundjian was, of course, one of the leading first violinists in the string quartet world. If I recollect rightly he was with Tokyo and left when he was injured. I reviewed one of his first outings as a conductor. He has grown considerably since then, which is natural, for he was always a fine musician. So I'm glad to hear this very convincing performance with one if the world's great orchestras.

EXTRAORDINARIO ME GUSTA MUCHO ESTA SINFONIA

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Just watched this at Bridgewater Hall in UK paired with Brahms’ second piano concerto. Interesting to hear how much Brahmsian thematic material appears in the Dvorak work of which the composer himself explained he made a deliberate effort to avoid national folk themes in pursuit of a more germanic (and ultimately more popular at the time of its composition) character.

[@maxfochtmann9576]

I myself can hear there only slavic melodies, no Brahms.

[@pnl4660]

As for me, Brahmsian music is a little bit artificial, synthetic. When compared with music of Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff....

Dvořak has a magic about his works, his orchestration can only be comparable to Wagner and Stravinsky for his intimate appreciation of each instrument's colour and applies the notation as precisely as Seurat. It maybe a symphony but to my ear/mind has a symphonic poetry which shows how ahead of his contemporaries he was, similarly Janacěk. Ace ❤

Wonderful performance of one of the greatest symphonies ever (well, it helps being a Dvorak aficionado). Nothing this orchestra does is ever less than excellent and this channel is one of the best on KZbin - at least for the lover of symphonic music. And once again, at the end there is that one person bellowing his BRAVO before anyone else gets their hands together. I wonder what it takes to do this... Does it mean you are an attention-seeking oaf or an enthusiastic music lover ? Perhaps both, as these traits are probably not mutually exclusive ? Or is it just the revival of a centuries long tradition which has rather waned in the last few decennia ?

After Symphony 4, he found his own style, so this music is inspired by Dvorak and no one else.

If anything, it was more the other way around. Specifically, Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F was very clearly inspired by Dvorak's No. 5 in F, which was written 8 years prior.
