[@beckymcgown]

Thank you for this content! I'm a professional classical musician and seeing your reactions to the moments in the piece remind me why I do what I do. We can't really see other people's experiences with the music from the stage. I will sing to you through my 📯 in my next performance!

[@GIDIREACTS]

The classical family thanks you for your service 😌

[@Leea25]

Dvorak wrote an amazing cello concerto!

[@jeandoten1510]

Absolutely! Please give it a listen -- I have actually played this (oboe, not cello) and it is fabulous! Also--I gotta love the 2nd movement of The New World Symphony because it has the best English horn solo in all classical music!

[@Walter_Arrecis_Letona]

The third movement ended when you raised your arms, and immediately the fourth movement began.

[@J.K.71]

I am glad that you like our Czech composer Antonín Dvořák very much. His work is truly magnificent and we are proud of him. 🙂

[@MichaelBeckman]

Dvorak is one of my favorite composers and this is one of my favorite symphonies of all time. This conductor, Andres Orosco Estrada was the Houston symphony orchestra’s conductor up until this year - he is amazing!

[@markwise9138]

They say that Dvorak wrote this because he was homesick. He had came to America to teach at an university here but missed his homeland of Bavaria/Czechoslovakia. That's why you hear sounds of the classic American song Hiawatha blended with a classic Viennese waltz. Movement 1 was his welcome to the New World,. Movement 2 was his depression and homesickness. Movement 3 was the conflict he felt between the two worlds, and movement 4 was his unification of the two. It's ok if you shout or dance or whatever, that is what music is supposed to to do.

[@dansmodacct]

interestingly Calvin Coolridge Taylor wrote 'Hiawatha Overture", and his music tends to get compared to Dvorak a lot.

[@Ericandroy]

I’ve always thought that the discord at the end of the final time the 4th movement motif is repeated (just before the coda) represented Dvorak’s sudden realisation of the behemoth the New World had become and that it would soon overpower the old. It’s full of tension and majesty…

[@plastique45]

WHAT a symphony and WHAT a performance of it.

[@capyinw1296]

The fourth movement always gives me goosebumps. Love it so much!

[@EminAnimE1]

This is the first symphony I ever listened to. Know it frontwards and backwards. One of my favorite pieces ever.

[@npkmanasatienkijmusic]

It's about time. By the power vested in me, Brett, Eddy and the spirit of Ling Ling; I grant you membership to the United Grand Society of Classical Music Fanatics. You ought to start your journey by picking up an instrument soon. Hope to hear more from you!

[@SkyCloudSilence]

Lol 😄

[@GIDIREACTS]

I humbly accept and vow to keep classical music alive.

[@DavidTateVA]

I'm so glad that Brahms lived long enough to hear this. The teacher and mentor must have been overwhelmed.

[@beckymcgown]

Your smile around 5 minutes is everything! Ikr!

[@beckymcgown]

"the piece knew who I was" -- I understand

[@askesismusic]

Dvorak digested the best of Beethoven, anticipated some Ravel stuff, influenced so many film composers (lotr^^ etc ) This symphony speaks to everyone and is a must listen. Versions by Karajan and Dudamel are also really interesting :)

[@MtFgt]

the first time i heard this symphony was live, it was THE GREATEST THING EVER i couldnt fathom what i had experienced

[@paul-petertheulings1276]

Classical music is like star restaurant menus for your hearing. It's the precious gift from composers of the past, their music will live forever. The connection between them and us is just fascinating.

[@NorthonBruce]

I see someone reacting to classcial music, I recommend Shostakovich. Though, I wouldn't suggest the most overplayed things like 8th quartet or 5th symphony. I would suggest instead extremely dramatic Symphonies No.4 and No.8, and the haunting Symphony No.15. I would also suggest full of motion String Quartets No.3 and No.4, and the opposite, slow and dark Quartets No.13 and No.15; Of concertos I'd suggest a humourous black-and-white-movie styled Piano Concerto No.1, thoughtful then violently sarcastic Cello Conerto No.2; Of sonatas, his final work mixing deeply ironic with solemn and grave - the Viola Sonata. His longing then sarcastic Cello Sonata from his middle ages. Self-reflexive Piano Sonata No.2; Additional mentioning for Op. 87's Preludes and Fugues in A minor, G major, F-sharp minor, D-flat major, and Two Pieces for String Octet, as well as for more popular and know Piano Quintet and Piano Trio No.2 i simply can't avoid mentioning. I would also very much recommend two great works of his students: Revol Bunin's Viola Sonata and German Galynin's Piano Concerto No.1!

[@GIDIREACTS]

Noted!

[@chgr4674]

Great reaction. I Love the 4th movement. I have performed myself in this opera building. My university choir, 2 others, and the uni orchestra performed Beethovens 9th symphony. Over 300 singers. It was amazing

[@martinbynion1589]

Your reactions bring even the most played pieces of great music to life as if brand new, GIDI. Thank you for that! Incidentally, of all the great composers, Dvorak lived the most completely normal, simple and happy life of all. It shows, doesn't it?

[@capefox8321]

I have no idea how many times I have listened to this symphony. It never fails to move the emotions.

[@maryh4124]

This was the first thing I ever saw live in concert, performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. It still gives me goosebumps. And your pronunciation was perfect!

[@davidvanmersbergen5335]

The structure of a Scherzo is evident in this movement. Thank you for your effervescent enthusiasm.

[@redacted2381]

I would recommend two other Dvorak symphonies to listen to: his 4th in D minor and his 8th in G major. Especially the Scherzo for his 4th. Though they might not compare to the 9th in some ways, they're nevertheless still good, as are all of them.

[@detectivehome3318]

I LOVVEEE the scherzo of 4th

[@peterireland4344]

1000000%

[@beckymcgown]

Mahler 5 is amazing -- there's a great recording on KZbin by Barcelona symphony!

[@bryceburgess5981]

YESSSS I LOVE MAHLER 5

[@beckymcgown]

I'm a horn player -- of course I do 😂

[@martinbynion1589]

Third movement....the sounds of a train traversing the wide plains of America....*smiles*

[@mdl12321]

You reacted well with your surprise scream to the best part. That change is one of a kind.

[@partituravid]

the R in 'Dvořák' is like a simultaneous zh as in "pleasure" with the front inside of the flat part of the tongue AND a rrrrolled R with the tip of the tongue pointed up + lightly touching

[@anunluckyguy7586]

how do you even do that lol

[@VeguldenZilverling]

​@@anunluckyguy7586Be born a Czech.

[@jamesdakrn]

You can hear the dynamism of 19th century America in the piece. The "New World" for sure. You can feel the beat of the steel factories in Pittsburgh, of the ships coming into New York, the city of immigrants, all in the 4th movement in my ears

[@reubenlee6438]

Great reaction! I got into classical music sometime after getting into hip-hop. What I get from classical music is unlike anything else. I'm a very big Dvorak fan, so I had to watch this. There's so much more he wrote that people don't recognize as much that was on such a high level. My favorite music I've heard from him makes me feel at home or like I'm on an adventure. Wait until you get into Tchaikovsky's heavier works, it will take you on crazy highs and lows that will stick with you.

[@tomyamartino]

Shades of Bruckner's Symphony 7 (written 10 years earlier) in the scherzo here and there. That's another great one.

[@andrewhWTL]

Great reaction to a splendid performance of this work. Dvorak symphonies 8, 6, 5 and 3 are all fine works too.

[@darylcrandall128]

Dvorak's 9th was my one of my first classical music loves during college in the '60s Played it (quietly) over and over through headphones while studying. His 7th is also one of my favorites. The final movement particularly, the mysteriousness sends shivers up my spine. Another great piece to consider, is the Saint-Saens (pronounced san-saws, with emphasis on the "saws"), 5th piano concerto, called "The Egyptian"). The 2nd movement, to me, is a tale of a European, staying in a fancy Cairo hotel, then leaving the hotel and taking a twilight walk down the bank of the Nile river walking past the homes and shops of the common people living along the river, listening to the various styles of music (Mideastern, Oriental, African) coming from them. At the end of the 2nd movement, the European traveler comes to a set of steps and climbs slowly up them to the street level again and enters the sophisticated chaos of his upper-class hotel, in the final movement. I'm glad you're enjoying your dive into classical music.

[@Pedgo1986]

For me its not even classical music its somewhat different and feel more like film music then classical symphony i love it.

[@kofiLjunggren]

10:40 Pure!!

[@Titanandenceladus]

You should really check out Dvorak's Tone Poems. There are five and I guarantee you'll love all 5. In no particular order - The Golden Spinning Wheel, the Noonday Witch, A Hero's Song, The Water Goblin, The Wood Dove

[@ivanessa_schnitzel]

Beautiful video! I recommend Dvorak's symphony no.8, especially the last (4th) movement!

[@071949]

Hi Gidi, this piece is one of my favorites. I am glad that you discovered it, and that you also enjoy it.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Dvorak 8th Symphony. Conducted by Manfred Honeck. You'll love it even more than this one.

[@petercohen8890]

A few thoughtbest chance of s, some of which yu may have become aware of in the two years since the video was made. First A lot of conductors like to almost run the last two movements of symphonies even when the composer hasn't run them together. I've been to many performances of symphonies in which plenty of opportunity is given for the audience to cough after each of the first two movements and then, as in this performance, the conductor leaves only about a second after the third movement. (Assuming it is a 4 movement symphony) Second when Haydn and his contemporaries first settled on the four movement structure for symphonies, the third movement typically consisted of a minuet (a relatively stately dance) a contrasted trio (another dance) and then a repeat of the minuet. Beethoven replaced the minuet with an energetic scherzo (Italian for "joke") but retained the idea of a contrasted trio. By the middle of the nineteenth century the scherzo might be played three times and the trio twice as happens here. Dvorak liked to use folk melodies from his Czech/Bohemian homeland in his music and tunes that sound like folk melodies. Different writers have had different views on how much of From the New World continues using Czech inspired themes and how much it is influenced by the music he came across in America where Dvorak was most interested in the folk music traditions of African Americans and Native Americans. He even said that he thought that African American music had the best chance of providing the basis for a truly American musical tradition. This prediction of his isn't that true of classical music but most definitely has in jazz, rock and hip-hop which are all genres that America, and particularly black America, has given to the rest of the world..

[@homobohemicus]

Don´t worry about it Gidi... the letter Ř doesn´t exist in any other language... Its sort of a roller R and J in one... But you´re doing it pretty well.... The 2 nd movement is a sad one for me as it is usually used in funerals and was playing saying last goodbyes to my mom... The 4th is exhilarating

[@yeinergonzalez9524]

Un reaccion calida y agradable.

[@ayethein7681]

enjoyed your reaction. we get it perfectly as we feel the same way. You might try another piece - shorter; Dvorak 'Carnival' overture.

[@dansmodacct]

Dvorak in a bottle! its perfect!

[@tfpp1]

GIDI, you gotta react to William Walton's Symphony #1 in B-flat. The whole thing is pretty darn awesome, but the first movement is something special. It's so full of angst.

[@eblackadder3]

The scherzo of Dvorák's Ninth is a homage to the scherzo of Beethoven's Ninth, the similarities, especially in the opening theme are pretty obvious.

[@andresantos_]

10:40 , my friends who think classical music is boring when earing it:

[@TVGUY333]

I noticed several highlights from Beethoven's 9th and 5th. It must have been intentional. Dvorak I think, took into account that this piece was also his 9th symphony and paid respect to the master. I'll choose to believe that until I get corrected. 🙂

[@kentinatl]

This is like a Terrence Malick movie

[@kokod2736]

The fourth movement is my absolute favorite. Other pieces are great, but it takes first place for me.

[@Walter_Arrecis_Letona]

Suscrito y gracias por activar los subtítulos.

[@bmomav5314]

Yo Gidi u should react to classical music mashup, it is made by a lot of famous classical pieces and combined into a very creative yet wonderful piece

[@RC2214]

I think Dvorak can be the Beethoven of the 20th century, especially this symphony, comparing it with his 9th as well 🙂

[@minasmigkosgymnastics8742]

Actually Dvorak didn’t really live on twentieth century but nineteenth 😅😅

[@SarahYasmineXO]

Dvorak isn't from the 20th century

You should take up conducting. You would LOVE it

[@markdettra1794]

I don't mind your interjected comments during the music. You can only be spontaneous once !

[@znotch87]

Great performance to react to, and musical direction of video is also great. Plunging straight into the 4th movement gives me some mixed feelings though.

[@鶴-j5i]

This is a re-upload, right?

[@PianOG]

Yeah I could have sworn he had reacted to this movement already

[@jihanabelleslavin6386]

What is the piece used in your intro? Is it The Nutcracker? If so, which part?

[@jihanabelleslavin6386]

I found it. Dance if the Mirlitons. Indeed form the Nutcracker.

Hey, Gidi. Can you react to the Contemporary Classical composer Takashi Yoshimatsu?

Your Ř is pretty good! Also, since you're already doing Czech composers, maybe you could throw a listen to Martinů? I especially recommend the first symphony
