@@ЕленаСитникова-ц6с Thank you! 🙏

[@claude2243]

Your cadenza in the Adsgio is totally unexpected and also amazingly interesting and successful in how it links Haydn to the 20th century music. Bravo!

[@LeonGurvitch]

Thank you so much, Claudio! Yes, I've composed cadenza for Haydn Symphony, as surprise & bridge to the contemporary music...

[@steve.schatz]

Bravo. Wonderful, committed orchestra, and superb conducting.

Its wonderful to hear this symphony being performed. When Haydn recapitulates the jolly opening theme, who was expecting him to bring it back in the minor? Then he resolves the disturbance by bringing the short pensive second subject back in the triumphant major. Genius. Wonderful symphony, not sure about the first movement diminuendos and that cadenza in the slow movement, though if its treated as a concerto, then thats the only validity I can see. Again lovely to see this much neglected piece in concert.

Well judged tempi: too often the movements of this symphony are played too fast - here, the music was allowed to breathe, we could hear the parts, and follow the musical development and discourse. Well done, like the live audience, I enjoyed this performance very much.

Elaine Blackhurst Thanks a lot!

8:55 my favourite part

[@1967born]

What about that strage cadenzas at the end of the Adagio?

[@LeonGurvitch]

Massimo Carota This strange I wrote by myself:-)

[@1967born]

@@LeonGurvitch Why you did this choice (very extreme I think)?

[@LeonGurvitch]

Massimo Carota Because I feel it like this.

Haydn used a time machine, traveled to the beginning of the 20th century. They sound like bits from the Second Vienna School (Schönberg, Berg or Webern).

[@peterheiman8621]

I have no problem with the cadenza, and I enjoyed it. Soloists have always put their own stamp on concerto cadenzas, as Beethoven did on Mozart’s d minor. And this movement is certainly a concerto movement, not that rare with Haydn-the cello movement in #13 comes to mind. Bravo all.

Yoko was doing that in the 60s.

Great job to everyone but the audience. They broke a classical music law by applauding between the movements 😂😂

[@LeonGurvitch]

Thanks! Indeed, but for the whole performance it was not so disturbing
