Dvorak - New World Symphony Part 2 - Proms 2010

Andris Nelsons conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in part two of Dvoľák's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, 'From the New World' during Proms 2010 season.

[@Paratus07]

This is the most beautiful piece ever made. I played this to my grandpa on his funeral 2009 and it still gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. I hope you're having it good in the new world grandpa, I miss you everday. Vila i frid älskade morfar

[@AramisMerlin]

Best symphony ever written... in my opinion. Just wow. Every movement.. from first to last.

[@lourdestorres177]

I love to watch this man conducting. He always shows a passion for the music his orchestra is playing--he enjoys what he’s doing and expresses his feelings openly, as he should. Bravo, Maestro and Bravo to this great orchestra, no matter how many years ago this took place!

[@maxauburn]

This is one of the most lovely works of music that you will ever hear!

[@majfauxpas]

He's managed to interpret it differently, without changing it at all. Fantastic performance.

[@jbut1208]

Mr Nelsons shows his emotions! Some see this as a weakness because they are afraid to show emotions! I see it as an enormous strength! Beautifully played people!!!!

[@amasterson106]

Every movement is just mindblowing. freakin awesome stuff.

[@Explorations84]

*Mental note* Request that somebody plays this at my funeral! I can't think of a more fitting piece of music to describe everything that I am.

[@insainiac33]

That man. That man must be loving life. I love him.

[@Adelie47]

Exceptionnel, je suis sans voix, je lécoute en boucle et cela depuis plusieurs semaines !

[@Maximim720]

Our fist gas cooker was a New World one. It didn't last as this wonderful piece.

[@parahsarah14]

I love watching the conductors facial expressions while he conducts...so much emotion and it just aimply beautiful

[@alaalfa8839]

Pantomime

[@jbut1208]

This is a younger Andries Nelson’s! He just loves music and shows it! All power to him!

[@klausofant]

fantastic and stunning!

[@dannyalba1]

Simply love this!

[@kurtsteenfeldthansen2754]

Excellent performance - very touching!

[@ayanyan0112]

これを寝る前に聴くと、明日も良い一日になりそうと思える。

[@0me0my1]

Great oboe solo here. Love it!

[@robinanim]

Agreed. Btw, it's not an oboe (although part of the oboe family), it's a cor anglais. It has a slightly woodier sound en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor_anglais

[@michaelanderson1830]

I love the New World Symphony --and especially love the "Largo!!!"

[@Dannys998877]

Very pretty! I think this was one of Reader's Digest all time greatest classical hits.

[@legomaxdylan]

Its wounderfull!!!!!!!!!

[@aevanra12]

Oh... Mah... God... Amazing

[@thereds1959]

Part 2 gives me tinges everytime I hear it.

[@someonetrulyamaziful]

Bravo !!!!!!

[@measbound89]

love respect

[@baakafish8923]

Twelve people dislike Hovis Bread? 'Eeeeeee when I wer t'lad.... That Cor Anglais is simply divine.

[@pattoncommander]

My primary is English horn. Dvorak and Cesar Franc's d minor are my showpieces. Conductors can "hand it to you" or try to direct every note, the latter if which makes for a very mechanical solo, or those that prefer a particular ornamenation on Wiliam Tell, in which you play the way you want and let him fume over it.

[@Hannelle84]

Nádherná skladba!

[@fckshyt15]

this beat be cracking, yo!

[@Maximim720]

If folk were considerate, then they would cough in the correct key for the piece being played, on this case e minor, noting any key changes in the piece. In my day, ..... etc.

[@thechansfamily]

agree, ......and also in the right tempo!

[@blueray222]

Perfect derp face at the very end.

[@Aliza418]

So good. But, it is so quiet! My headphones are all the way up on volume but is so quiet. I absolutely love New World. I heard it on a game and knew I loved it!

[@MuerteDiablo]

@Helmholtz53 I agree with you on this part. But I also would like to note that the conductors are their to give volume, feeling and soul to the music(In my opinion). Because anybody who practices hard can play any piece of music they want. But to play it with feeling and soul is a completely different way of playing. You can see it here when the musicians move with the music. That way you can see they are listening to what they play and completely go into it.

[@windstorm1000]

@Helmholtz53 I stand corrected. Thank you.

[@csongormiklos5722]

2:13 - A big YAWN :D (my favourite recording so far)

[@jbut1208]

Csongor Miklós Ah! My tone deaf friend again! Go to sleep!

[@TheMaestro2005]

@agrigoat none the less, its unnerving. People shouldn't be going to formal settings if they are too sick to hold their coughs back or be silent as much as possible during a performance. It's just courtesy and respect.

[@beastinblack4055]

reminds me of pioneering across the wild west...

[@dennykay]

@windstorm1000 ah, allright, thanks for the larger context :)

[@dennykay]

@windstorm1000 Although i agree with you on the conductors face, i still wonder what R. Strauss should have to say about a symphony by Dvorak? Did he have anything to do with it?

[@Anna-qt7yj]

jej Largo zpíváme na sboru :D

[@renarspaiders7502]

5:43

[@windstorm1000]

@jazzbassbone2000 no, I don't believe so....the alto oboe sounds like an oboe with a cold...the English horn (it is neither) has a distinctive timber all its own.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

There's a scent of the USA where is nostalgic

[@Dannys998877]

OK. But you'd only have to drill a few holes, screw a few electrical components into place, hook it to an amplifier, and you'd have a Strad or a Guarneri that could be heard all the way to the back of the auditorium. Just a thought.

[@windstorm1000]

@dennykay Nothing at all--I am just being hypothetical. There are two conducting schools--the closer-to-the composer-'intention' and no grimacing--ie-Strauss, Toscanini. and the broader more emotional ones--ie Bernstein, Furtwangler. To put things in a longer historical context, Mendelssohn would fit in the former, Wagner in the latter. I think both are valid--the important thing is they get the 'guts' emotional draw of the piece out.

[@Dannys998877]

I see. So they don't use microphones, or electric pickups on the stringed instruments?

[@thereds1959]

The Hovis, advert.

Warum kann man die Teile 1,2,3 und 5 dieses Konzertes in Deutschland sehen und Teil 4 ist gesperrt. Kann mir jemand darauf eine Antwort geben? Die GEMA - Einmischungen werden immer paradoxer.

[@electrostatic1]

@Violinkid05 I know. It sounds like this concert is being performed for a leper colony.

[@rattywoof5259]

"Part 2"? You mean "Second Movement" surely?

[@JacobNiemann]

This would be amazing but it seems like there is some kind of viral cough happening in the audience.

[@abramovaalina5711]

Извините, а кто дирижёр?

[@windstorm1000]

The conductor IS rather odd--all the grimacing--but if that inspired his forces---then so be it. I wonder though, if R. Strauss would approve--does the conductor need all this facial stuff? He's just there to just keep the beat, right?? No other symphony has as much warmth, color and heart such as this one...Such a masterpiece. And, so American sounding--and then Czech in other places--very multi cultural....I hear the Mississippie mud in this work--if that is possible...

[@agaskew]

For me, the pacing is all over the place sadly. Try to listen to the Colin Davis Philips recordings.

because you dodn't need a lot of winds and brass etc. The strings cannot achieve the same volume/timbre as the wind and brass. They wouldn't be so audible if there was just one of each string instrument. Trust me, brass and wind are LOUD! xD that' why they need back-up to match the sound levels ;)

[@maromyandrade8371]

Si te ries pierdes tu nivel

[@EmmaLikesFish]

why does everyone have to cough in the quite parts?

[@pattoncommander]

It's unfortunate that some conductors believe they are the showpiece, but in reality, his/her job is to "play"' the orchestra. I play woodwind instruments, the conductor's instrument is his/her instrument in that every section has to be alligned and brought together in the way which the conductor wants the piece...not of the same opinion of many, but he's paying the salary, so play it the way he wants, no matter how you disagree. Waving and making a show is secondary..to us anyway. We smirk..

[@Dannys998877]

Why are there so many violins and not a lot of any other single instrument?

[@mwa1975]

Wonder shon.

[@Gabriron01]

I don't like the way people keep coughing

[@cmcmurphy]

*cough*

[@Rodxgb23]

He looks like a Rowan Atkinson!!!!jejejeje Mr.Bean conducting!!!

[@EdTheBadass]

they are all coughing, because this was charity concerto at tuberclosis lazaret

[@windstorm1000]

@PhysicalsimForever It is INSPIRED by the spiritual--but no direct quotes--which makes for even more genius that Dvorak--a Czech composer--absorbed the real FEELING in his short stay in NYC. Coughing? There should be bowls of cough drops at the entrence of every music hall. And also an intelligent listener should NOT come if they have a cold!! Its called common sense and courtesy--in short supply even in concert halls!!!

[@pattoncommander]

He is like many conductors, putting all his feeling into the piece...listen to the orchestra and watch his cues....he gives the soloists liberty and simply cues like saying.."its all yours". I have played under many worse. Maybe you should sit in an orchestra sometime and try to play musically when the conductor is directing like a machine.

[@NikolaTesla234]

03:40 Yeah, you have to cough in that part, son of a .....

[@261joanne]

I agree about the coughing. People should learn to stiffle it and cover their mouths.

Of course not! :)

[@agrigoat]

@Violinkid05 You sound like such a lovely compassionate person. Screw the potential for music to be a unifying force for all mankind, lets be idiots and spew bile cause someone coughs. Did peopel not cough in Dvorak's time?

[@DevoidOfDirectionTV]

For God's sake. Do you seriously think the conductor's elaborate expressions and movements are for...show business? I'm fairly sure Andris couldn't give a flying shit what he looks like whilst he conducts. He is trying to coax as much emotion and expression out of the orchestra, and trust me, when the conductor's not feeling it, neither are you.

[@asyraf991]

the first solo are playing slur..i thought it was suppose to be legato (as written on the score)....

[@pattoncommander]

Some "conductors" yes, But I have been in front of TOO many who think they are THE showpiece and simply follow the orchestra. In many cases the orchestra performs in spite of the moron waving the baton. Still, a musician has to play musically, and if you have a musical conductor who shows emotion as Andris, great. He shows what he feels and you go with him. Too few of this type. Diff between an orchestra and a bull; With a bull, the horns are in front and a-hole in back.

[@frozenflame5858]

I didnt know Jim Carey conducted

[@royenw]

obvious troll is obvious

[@garrysmalls7586]

Dvorak 9... YYYAAAAAAWWWWWWWN. what's the fucking point?!

[@cynThia19739]

YES THAT MAKE ME SICK! in the slowest and smooth parts *cough cooug* U.U i hate it

[@alangordon8906]

Y'all just take your opinion too seriously.This is just nice

[@pmk422]

You people are too sensitive about coughing.

Then you would just destroy the beautiful instrument... Don't trust entirely on modern technology when it comes to music... a stradivarius would loose it's soul and sound if it was "modified" with electronic components... It's like painting dreadlocks on Mona Lisa or give the David statue a sweater... It doesn't fit and it ruins it's original soul

[@RustamRahmedov]

Erik Valdemar Sköld - Composer Are you talking about mutes on the violin’s bridges?

[@HatingFan]

The coughing ruined an otherwise well rendered piece

[@leonardenrique7633]

Excellent Performance by the musicians. Don't agree with the phrasing they HAD to do because of the conductor, or of having to to look at his silly grinning clown face... gets a D- on the boring acting job. Coughers: how about a tracheotomy before the next concert?
