The cor anglais player REALLY knows how to make that instrument sing. Absolutely lovely playing!

[@globserver3448]

Yeah, but the record is really bad. Can you hear, for example, any contrabass?

[@marshaburkett4129]

That's the incredible Pedro Diaz, long time English Horn of the Metropolitan Opera. Super nice guy too! ♥️

This is absolutely beautiful! The English horn solo is one of the reasons I switched to the oboe, and I couldn't be happier with my instrument. This is a true masterpiece.

I heard this melody when I was eleven years old.It so stunning until now I am 62 still love it.

[@張理-d8d]

yes, in Taiwan elementay schools we sing it in the name "歸故鄉" (going home), I learned it at 10, and now 69, we are in the same age.

[@tammiyates3573]

This was the opening selection played at tonight's memorial service for the victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. All I had to hear was the first note played and immediately I knew my heart was about to get torn apart again. May God heal the broken hearts not just in this city, but all over the world. #vbstrong psalm 34:18 "the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

[@DavidS_Tan]

Flute and oboe solo are beautiful

[@donalddodson7365]

One of the finest Cor Anglais solos heard. Thank you.

[@liaw330]

Played this is high school with a trombonist names Thomas Cox, he really was something special. I'll never forget what he said to me - "Learning the trombone doesn't begin or end, it merely changes form".

[@fredrickkuiper2988]

Love the oboe. What a great melody.

[@alexalestareon695]

I love the bassoon and the English horn playing together...

[@tell-dtruth5470]

I had heard at least 6 different orchestras play this Mov II This All-star Orchestra is the best. They are in tune to the max and the expressions in the instruments and the tonality is by far the best.

[@gavingraycomposition4388]

in the commercial for the video before it played, the last movement of dvorak's symphony was playing in the background i couldn't laugh hard enough

[@GIOGIOSKIO]

Awesome sound and perfect english horn

[@matthewrogers9831]

This has to be my favorite rendition, it’s near a perfect recording. This has to beat out all the professional orchestras, like Berlin or Chicago. Something about this one is just on another level…

[@Xingqiwu387]

Pedro Diaz' rendition is stunning!!

[@jeandeblaize4175]

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Il y a dans ce mouvement à lui seul toute l'architecture de Bach, la musicalité de Mozart, la grandeur de Beethoven, l'émotion de Schubert, la nostalgie de Brahms. C'est un pur moment de beauté pour l'éternité. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@HannahMiller-ny6bk]

[@thejman3489]

[@yuhaszvideotime763]

theJman maybe it’s an English horn concerto.

[@TGMGame]

Kirsten Yuhasz it’s a symphony the English horn has that single role in this symphony

[@samtirkgmailcom]

I want this to be played at the time of my funeral. From 02:49 to 03:36 and then again from 04:46 to 08:11 are heavenly and ethereal. The portion from tumultuous section, and after the reprise from 09:01 to 09:28 and the strings from 09:29 onwards give your soul the final rest and fulfillment. The deathly and mournful pauses after 09:49.. no word to describe that feeling. It is goosebumps all the way after that. Dvorak is Beethoven reborn..

Very nice! I played this on English horn for all-state way back in 1983. In Colorado.

[@YoNickSoko]

Wow angelic English horn playing. Then when the strings played the theme triggered many a goosebump

[@Danderson238]

I play french horn . One of my colleagues, also a hornplayer is English. One time, our office secretary phoned him in a tizzy, because the cor anglais player had just called in sick, and so she desperately needed (wait for it) an English hornplayer to replace him... bada boom! True story, can’t make this s**t up.

[@angelacooper2661]

I have played this on the viola more than once - it is very moving, especially the cor anglais. Impressive major sixth chords (first inversions) and moves me to tears. In the key of Db major; the middle section is in C# minor which is an enharmonic change. Last note of the viola part a top Ab in the treble clef!

My son played with him. Said he was a great conductor to play for. “Conductors usually come into an orchestra, and they give a little speech. Maestro Schwartz’ speech was very short. He just said ‘Be ready for anything’ and so we were.”

I just heard Chicago Symphony Orchestra play this. CSO have a world reputation, but they seemed to play this too fast. This All-Star Orchestra sounds a lot smoother and theri rendition is more evocative of waking to a new world.

[@calciumchloride710]

Which conductor and recording?

[@jumpingjflash]

@@calciumchloride710 To be quite honest, I don't know. I've never been asked that before, so I didn't make a note of it. Why are you asking, do you play for CSO?

[@calciumchloride710]

@@jumpingjflash It's crucial! Always make a note of it. The Chicago Symphony didn't just record the 9th once! Each conductor's chemistry with an ensemble can be like a fingerprint, so I'd be wary of smearing an entire orchestra's reputation on one recording with one conductor you didn't appreciate. If you listen to recordings of the same pieces with the same orchestras under different conductors, you can begin to gain some perspective.

Its tilted so down and normally you have to play parallel, looks professional and gives a better tone. But this guy is just slouching on his flute HOBBOLING IT. The only reason he probably doesnt sound dull is cause its a really good and expensive flute. Idek why hes doing it like that. It looks so uncomfortable.

[@tommilano2000]

@@flixhelix8039 you're not the only one who finds it atrocious.

[@maniestacio9245]

It has to do with an offset embouchure. If the aperture is not centered on the lips, it can make sense to play with the flute tilted at an angle so as to be more in line with the center of the lip plate while playing.
