This is one of my favorite orchestras, thanks to the orchestra and the behind-the-scenes team.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much, it's a pleasure 🤩

[@jerrera45]

And this my friends is why the "classics" will always remain classic. What a wonderful performance, taking three old war horses and bringing new life and freshness to them. This is becoming one of my favorite orchestras. And kudos to the audio and camera team... outstanding work. This concert is definitely going straight to my KZbin favorites list.

[@NDRKlassik]

Wow, this is high praise, indeed!! Thank you, we really appreciate it!

50 years, 50 YEARS¡¡ listening Ravel's Bolero, as one of my favorite pieces. and here, after so many years, tears again in my eyes . its really amazing how the music lives through this orchestra, not only in the collective sound that they achieves, but also in their faces. there is so many joy on them that it´s a gift to the soul and the eyes see this. a couple of hours ago i saw Le Sacre du Printemps, by Stravinsky, same performers, same feeling, same happyness all around., just thanks from far, from Chile

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much for your comment - much appreciated! Many greetings to Chile!

[@GMDasLied]

Principal flute at the opening of Bolero is absolutely magical. I've never heard a tone that dark on a regular flute (only on alto flute!). Wonderful performance all around!

Thank you very much! 🤩🤩🤩

Copland s music is soooo American sounding

[@waverly2468]

Really outstanding sound on my $12 logitech computer speakers. The ambience is amazing. Those microphones on the stage must be super-sensitive. I noticed the use of plastic partitions between the woodwinds and the strings which probably make it easier to mix the sound.

As a secondary school boy, I was lucky enough to get into the local Junior Symphony Orchestra, stocked mainly with university music students and musicians in their 20s. In my first year with them as a 2nd violin, BOLERO was one of the pieces we played, and I was amused in a schoolboy fashion by the pencilled-in instructions on the music sent from a big London orchestra (The London Philharmonic?). This video reminded me of those 3 words: à la guitar next to the normal pizz instruction at the beginning of the piece. When you check and see that the violinists spend about 10 minutes before getting into the under-the-chin mode, it makes perfect sense, but I found it whimsical. It was a bit boring to rehearse the 2nd violin part, but in performance - WOW. Total magic. This was long before Torvil & Dean made the piece even more famous. You will notice how many of the string players are grinning happily towards the end - it is irresistible. Unless they are just relieved they can play properly at last. This was a great performance. Thanks for posting. 🎻 And as a curious coincidence, Torvil and Dean used part of Capriccio espagnol for their 2nd item at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you for sharing these memories! It is truely a irresitible piece. 🤩

[@Joe1935429]

Fascinating programme, exquisitely performed. Additional kudos to video, sound, and editing technicians. Beautiful concert hall. I have always thought the purpose of Bolero was to work the orchestra into a frenzy.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, much appreciated!! :)

The flutist, wow.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser drei kompakten und perfekt komponierten Meisterwerke mit farbenreichen doch perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale US-amerikanische Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle deutsche Orchester im lebhaften doch gut analysierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Alles ist wundervoll!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank, lieber notaire!!

Да, вы правы соло тромбона в "Болеро" одно из самых сложных. Здесь оно было сыграно отлично, у солиста просто своя интерпритация.

[@MegaVicar]

The Capriccio Espagnol was outstanding! That was the first time I’ve heard the orchestral version of Appalachian Spring, and it sounded pretty good. For the chamber version check out hr-sinfonieorchester.
