Dvořák: 8. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Manfred Honeck

[@todundmaiden]

I second the sound quality of this recording. Either they have a perfectly designed music hall or a highly skilled recording engineer - the orchestra simply sounds unbelievably rich on KZbin.

[@honda412000]

All the recordings of this orchestra in the You Tube are great, especially if you hear through a good pair of headphones (and preferably using a good DAC to replace the one in your computer which probably is not one of the best). However I know people that despise the sound just because it is in MP3 and only hear music through high resolution files. They don't know what they are missing.

[@frankteunissen6118]

It’s not either/or. You need both to get this sort of quality. If you have the world’s best acoustics and a dud for a sound engineer, or vice versa, you’ll get rubbish.

[@leoalex2001]

Jordan Wartell This is my favorite dvorak symphony and also the only one I played so far. But I don‘t like the ending so much, more precisely the last few lines. It‘s seems like he had a hard time thinking how to end this piece, so he just made it loud and impressive.

[@bcarp]

@@leoalex2001 The ending of the first movement of the cello concerto has the same problem

[@BillDeef]

Anybody ever notice how strong Dvorak’s symphonic endings are? Even if there pianissimi (like in the 9th)! The Cello Concerto is another good example. I heard this symphony the first time conducted by Haitenck in Vienna in 1973 and it blew me away. And has, when played well like here, ever since.

[@bomcabedal]

@@leoalex2001 Loud and impressive works.

[@MD-md4th]

I think Dvorak’s endings tend to be weak - chaotic and/or unsettled. His beginnings, on the other hand, are magnificent. The 8th is no exception: :32 to 2:05 is some of the most magical music ever composed.

[@knubir]

Dvorak the soul of czech culture. My defenite favorite country in Europe. Visiting Prague is like coming home. Taking a trip around in the bohemian landscape outside Prague. You can feel what created Dvorak and Smetanas emotions for their country, people and culture. Being a norwegian we have the same dejavu for Edward Griegs music. The 3.rd movement of this symphony is pinpointing the czech atmosphere.

This is what it looks like to completely trust a conductor's interpretation and not fight their vision. Honeck is one of the greatest conductors alive today, without question, and this is a compliment to the Frankfurt players' willingness to try "different" phrasing that actually is the best way to phrase. Everything is perfection in this performance. Everything.

The finale of the symphony is so joyous, yet it is as equally filled with an intense, almost angry momentum, that seems to beg to be resolved. I think that 31:49 to 33:23 has to be one of my favorite moments in all of Dvorak's music.

[@tserkoslavjanskij]

Interesting what music brings to mind. To my knowledge, there's no archeological support for the notion that the Mongols reached Bohemia, Moravia or another of the Czech lands. Nor do I know if Dvořák were interested in Russian 'medieval' history. I think not. Leaving aside music for opera or ballet ("Prince Igor" and "The Rite of Spring" come to mind), is there other symphonic music -- Czech, Russian, or by a composer of another nationality -- that conjures up such images for you? Are the images color or b&w? Does music in general bring to mind images of any sort?

[@Cesar_SM]

This symphony is something that is really beyond my thinking. I can't imagine my life without this sparkling song to life, an absolutely infectious work full of bliss. Because of works like this one is that Dvorák belongs to the summit of stunning composers. I love this symphony, and I'll love it forever!

When I first heard this music almost 40 years ago, as I listened to the way in which the last moment slowly fades away, after beginning with such a strong opening, I yearned for it to spring back to life. It cannot end on this note, I thought, everything about this symphony so far has been optimistic, always starting somber but ending triumphantly. And now it is ending like this. With a whimper. And then, when all seemed lost, that wonderful, energetic bravura ending! What a way to round off this glorious work. And this performance really brings out the drama and emotion.

I was in 9th grade, and this was the first symphonic piece I ever played. Dvorak hooked me for life. The genius of this conductor’s interpretation of Dvorak’s 8th Symphony, and the spectacular attention to detail in the engineering of the recording make this spectacular.👌

The incredible gorgeous Rich bounteous Beauty found within this along with the creative fun and joyful sounds are like no other. If Beethoven had lived to hear this he would have rejoiced. It makes me wish I could have known Dvorak personally. To have him as my best friend would have been a wonderful experience. I myself am a composer arranger and performer and who knows what I could have done with this kind of influence in my life

I know them all. And a little funny story. Long, long ago, when I was recording music on MC, I would sometimes forget to write down the composer and work. Small step to the 3rd movement of his 3rd symphony. At the time I suspected it to be Dvorak,and indeed, when I bought the entire CD-box, I knew I was right. Another one, The Wood Dove, was not recognized by me, until I heard it on the radio. I parked my car, listened to the end and the announcer said so.

The 9th is overrated, probably because it was written when Dvorak was in America. However, he did write some wonderful pieces while he was here; for example, his Cello Concerto and several other string ensemble pieces.

There is much to be said for your claim. I just (5/25/17) saw him conduct Tchaikovsky's 5th in San Francisco and it was absolutely SENSATIONAL. He earned a rhapsodic reception by the audience, just as in this video. Manfred Honeck is world-class and a truly inspiring musician. Jaap van Sweden was a very good choice by the NY Phil but Honeck might have been even better. He has a magnetic personality as well as being a great musician.

[@federicocarraro6811]

I definitely agree. I have played with some notable guys out there (Gergiev, Boulez, Mehta, Dutoit, Temirkanov) but no one has impressed me like mr. Honeck. his understanding of music, technical gesture and skill of rehearsing are phenomenal

[@TheBerto3141]

I hold Manfred Honeck in the very highest regard. His performance in SF last Th of Tchaikovsky's 5th was fabulous; the best I've ever heard by far. His cues, body language, interpretation, energy, changes of tempo and color, all magnificent. He reminded me a lot of Carlos Kleiber on the podium. But Manfred does not appear to be psychologically distressed like Carlos was. Manfred, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, and Jaap van Zweden are my three favorite conductors working these days. The Met Opera and NY Phil scored bigtime snagging Yannick and Jaap respectively. I'd love to see Manfred named as SFSO's artistic director when MTT steps down.

I was just viewing a performance of this symphony by the venerable Concertgebouw Orchestra under Mariss Jansons. There is no comparison. This conductor and this orchestra give us a performance with more attention to orchestral balance and to dynamics. The sound is beautiful; the string sound is especially full-bodied. But precise ensemble is not sacrificed. Bravo!

What a superb performance by all. I found the flutists 30.40 - 31.07 in particular to be so full of heavenly delight that they really are unforgettable. Thank you.

Although she is good, pity she does not use circular breathing. Watch Karajan & Wiener Philharmoniker from the eighties and you will notice the difference

[@Killerbee4712]

@@gileador Well, it doesnt hinder the performance too much, id say is fine lol

Excelente versión de la 8va. Sinfonía de Antonin Dvořák por la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio de Frankfurt con la dirección del Gran Maestro austriaco Manfred Honeck y muy buena performance de la flauta traversa solista -española- Clara Andrada de la Calle.

Eines Tages werde ich nach Deutschland reisen, zu einem Konzert dieses Orchesters gehen (hoffentlich diese Symphonie) und nach dem Konzert der Flötistin Blumen schenken...sie ist wunderbar

I have recently discovered this symphony and i am simply in love! Together with gershwin "an american in paris" they have become my favorites

[@ryn-pg9wb]

I think this is the only recording ever where the tempos of the fourth movement actually make sense

[@thelazypianist9094]

I heard a few people from our Philharmonic play this for our school today. Loved it!
