[@dvorakslavenskiples]

love to see Andreas Blau, the great ex flutist of the Berlin Phil here :)

[@Mooslerherzog]

Er kann ja auch in Berlin "aushelfen", wenn die Stelle von Mathieu Dufour nicht sofort besetzt werden kann.

[@conbrio825]

@@Mooslerherzog Warum verlässt der denn schon wieder die Berliner Philharmoniker? Wissen Sie da was?

[@Mooslerherzog]

@con brio ja die Stelle von M. Dufour ist offiziell von den Berliner Philharmonikern ausgeschrieben, das Probespiel soll Ende Mai stattfinden.

[@conbrio825]

@@Mooslerherzog Das ist mir auch bekannt. Ich dachte, Sie wüssten etwas, warum Monsieur Dufour den Philharmonikern schon wieder den Rücken kehrt. Er war ja noch gar nicht so lange im Orchester...

[@Mooslerherzog]

@@conbrio825 den eigentlichen Grund kenne ich nicht, haben Sie einen Tipp wer der oder die Nachfolger/in wird;)?

[@peterfang51]

Love Maestro Salonen's tempi. Music just flows naturally like the notes write themselves!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

A wonderful thought, the one about the notes writing themselves during the consert! And I agree about the tempi.

[@blackandwhiterag1117]

They were certainly very nimble witches

[@woomichen1378]

I like the guest principle flutist. I've seen him elsewhere before? Lol.

[@verdiguy]

Always lovely to see and hear Andreas Blau!

[@danschmeidler9795]

I have to say, this is trade-mark Esa Pekka Salonen sound. He likes resonance that resonance.

[@salmonidae3667]

The bass trombone at 39:54!! So sinister! I love it

[@AudiophiliaChannel]

And they say conductors don’t make a difference. Never heard the NDR better. And that hall. Magnificent! And Herr. Blau on flute. Wonderful.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you for listening! We are glad to have you with us.

[@user-hn3lp5mq4t]

Wunderschöne english horn solo!

[@NDRKlassik]

Ja! Das ist unsere Englischhornistin Beate Aanderud! :)

[@valerieheinderyckx4506]

Époustouflant...tout Berlioz est là. Merci ❤

[@ohmy5650]

Huge musical wonder of a version. To relish & treasure.

[@AcidicLifestyle]

I’ve listened to perhaps 250 recordings of Symphonie Fantastique, but none of them come close to the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester. Flawless! 你們太棒了！

[@NDRKlassik]

We feel honored - thank you for the compliment!

[@lawrencechalmers5432]

So happy to have Salonen here as MD of the San Francisco Symphony

[@NDRKlassik]

Yes, we can imagine! :)

[@derekjarman5156]

A great big thank you to all the woodwinds, a brilliant performance

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you (in the name of our woodwinds section)!!

[@JW-sf5ys]

this performance is exceptional! I hope NDR will release a recording of this

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, much appreciated! Love the idea!!

[@definitelynotsue]

Wow! This performance has made me look at this piece completely afresh. The way the woodwinds played, it was almost as if the music was floating above everybody in that hall, quite ethereal honestly. Oh, and the bass players too! Completely shredding into those notes, I was like “wait this has always been in this piece and i’ve never noticed until now!” Pretty amazing talent here ✨

[@NDRKlassik]

So happy to hear this, thank you so much!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@ruicao9805]

Fantastic performance, I always enjoy watching you.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you so much! We are happy to hear that. :)

The cherry blossoms in full bloom is a good match for Berlioz‘s gorgeousness and wonderfulness Now in Tokyo the cherry blossoms are in full bloom everywhere The scenery is out of this world I am listening to this masterpiece while watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom This is a blissful time for me

una grandissima edizione, che emozione. Direzione magnifica (grande Salonen), orchestra (sempre) eccezionale, ottima regia e immagini. E quelle campane del Sabba ! un degno coronamento e ottima conclusione. Bravissimi !

length of the notes, he holds it just a tad longer when needed. very appropriate.

[@tomclark5522]

Terrific performance! Does anyone know the name of the lady that plays the oboe "solo"? I really enjoyed her playing.

[@alkanista]

If you mean the big cor anglais solo, that is Beate Aanderud.

[@tomclark5522]

@@alkanista That's her. Thank you.

[@gilmarnogueiraleite2930]

E vero berlioz queria 500 músicos para esta sinfonia bravo Brasil

[@richardwilliams473]

At 38:33 we see the timpanist uses alternating strokes with his left and right hands. Being a timpanist myself ,the composer intended for this passage to be played with only one hand . However, at this fast tempo it is extremely difficult to do that . Just my observation

[@user-dk6xy2ex1c]

これは名演だ！さすがはサロネン。フランス音楽のベルリオーズをドイツのオーケストラが見事に表現！ワルプルギスの夜、良い鐘の音。

[@NDRKlassik]

Much appreciated, thank you so much!

[@hakunaseitata2880]

Was ein Spektakel, wäre ich sehr gerne dabei gewesen. Ist ein anderer Tonmeister als sonst am Werk? Insbesondere das Blech hört sich anders an und auch der Saal selber scheint nicht so tückisch wie sonst. Vielen Dank für den Genuss.

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank, das freut uns sehr :) Wie kein Konzert dem anderen gleicht, so gleicht auch keine Aufnahme der anderen. Wer beteiligt war, sehen Sie im Abspann. Viel Vergnügen weiterhin mit unseren Konzertmitschnitten.

[@yansson]

Perfect!

Thank you!!

[@robotypist]

Is there anyone more mesmerizing than Maestro Salonen? No.

[@NDRKlassik]

We are big fans too! :)

[@danschmeidler9795]

interesting Dudamel came from France Paris, while Salonen went to Germany.

[@danschmeidler9795]

you would have to ask players of the LA Philharmonic how they regard him. Philadelphia Orchestra days, like Mutti, Ormandy ...

[@pedrodiezcansecomunoz9676]

Todo bien, menos las campanas del último movimiento. ¿Es que no pueden conseguir unas con un timbre más siniestro y un tono bastante más grave? ¡Es una fantasmagoría romántica y demoníaca, no un cuento de hadas!

[@NDRKlassik]

Interesting thought!

[@aa-jc5fx]

幻想交響曲のトップクラスの演奏。幻想交響曲を聴く人はこれを標準とすべきだろう。

[@changeamerica1168]

Not an excellent symphony. Sounds disjointed.

[@tortysoft]

Interesting comment. Disjointed ? That's exactly the intent !

[@changeamerica]

@@tortysoft There seems to be no connection between movements. That's why I dislike it.

[@jabber12345]
