Mozart: Sinfonie Nr. 38 D-Dur KV 504 (»Prager«) ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Philippe Herreweghe

[@hugues-v8i]

C'est un plaisir rare de voir et d'écouter cette brillante formation sous la direction du grand Philippe Herreweghe quand on n'a plus la possibilité de fréquenter les auditoriums. Cette symphonie Prague, que j'écoute depuis un demi-siècle, est bouleversante et les musiciens du Frankfurt, tous d'un niveau exceptionnel, en donnent à mon humble avis une des meilleures versions possibles. On a l'impression d'être au milieu d'eux. Merci pour cette transmission.

[@richsw]

I don't think even Mozart wrote anything better than the first movement allegro of the 'Prague' symphony. It is a truly astonishing compositional achievement.

[@JHPine]

Absolutely!

[@giuseppefochesato5995]

sì, si crede che solo la n.40 sia preromantica, ma qui c'è un'assoluta classicità che paradossalmente dà un 'romanticismo' diverso

[@nottinghillad]

It's a monumentally supreme piece of music, but then so much of Mozart is

[@erika6651]

The first movement of the Jupiter. ❤❤

[@jamesmclean5790]

@@erika6651That’s not a bad point. However, the final movement of the Jupiter is the finest and most intricate movement of all of his symphonies. To take four very shot motifs and develop them with impeccable counterpoint into the crescendo at the coda is the send off only Mozart could have achieved.

[@BeachMonstr]

My journey of musical discovery and appreciation began at age 11 with Mozart. After so many years I always return to his music.

[@amuller3101]

For me it's similar. I discovered the "kleine Nachtmusik" on a record of my parents (the only record with classical music they had), and I thougt: Wow! That is music! A few months later my older brother bought a record with the g-minor symphony (K550) and my mind was blown away! Since then I heard Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Bach and most other great composers, but I always return to mozart. A day without music of mozart is a lost day!

[@MrDsmalls]

Wonderful! The first movement is one of my favorite of all Mozart. The back and forth trading of the theme reminds me of two children joyfully running and sticking their tongues out at each other, or putting their thumb to their nose and wiggling their fingers as Tom Hulce does in Amadeus. Playful taunting.

[@rayphenicie7344]

Not only is the Frankfurt Radio Symphony one of the most technically brilliant out of so many ensembles, but the sound engineering team produces top-notch recordings that are hard to beat. Each section is given a clear voice.

[@Trava56]

I was tempted to buy a sweet pastry today in the food store. I resisted the urge, but I could not resist this! All the little details beautifully carved, even in piano. Balance like a ballerina on stage. Very crisp recording. Solche wundershöne Delicatessen. So vollstendig zusammen. Die Bläser haben schon auf historische Instrumenten gespielt. Lecker und wirklich delikat!

[@justinhamilton8647]

We Prague love Mozart always will. In 4 days his 267 birthday. Me? At the Estate Theatre to celebrate. Prague loves you forever my friend, like you never left

[@princeandrey]

Yes! And Brooklyn loves you as well, Wolfgang!

[@MartinMerayoUCDM]

The video editing is superb. Its not just showing the different parts of the orquestra as they play or the soloist when they have a part. When there is a crescendo the camera zooms in, when there is a huge tutti you have a wide angle shot. But also when there is a more intimate part the camera zooms way in to the solist. Whe n there is a more cantabile phrase the camara pans.....once again, its not just focusing on the different instruments as they play, it is clearly trying to emphasize the musical direction. Great great job

[@bmeinardus]

Best music ever!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@jamesdavidson5480]

Fantastically clean and articulate. Wonderful "conversation" amongst the players of the polyphonic parts. Chamber playing at its best! Wow.

[@late8641]

The usage of thematic material in the first movement displays Mozart's sublime genius perfectly. I keep coming back to this piece, it's just so joyful and elegant!

[@marioduparc4097]

Que du Bonheur...Trazom est toujours avec Nous ...Merci aux Musiciens...!

[@beachcomber4141]

One of Mozart's most ambiguous works. The main theme of the first movement @ 2:56, is so profound, yet I cannot tell if it is victorious or tragic!! For some reason, when I was initially diving into this work, the thought of Mozart's fathers deaths kept coming up in my mind. Then the themes ominous development at 12:41 sounds like some epic battle.......but with what? A fire breathing dragon? His own mind? Does he win the battle or just accept that the battle will always be fought? Truly mind blowing psychological stuff. Truly one of my most beloved Mozart compositions.

[@marclaburthe9196]

Une version analytique, incisive, sans excès de contraste pianissimo fortissimo. Les vents chantent de façon déliée. Les cordes sont d’une magistrale précision. Un grand chef et un régal pour l’âme.

(Pokaždé rád vidím tu blonďatou flétnistku. Ta je podle mne stěžejní postavou orchestru už po mnoho let!!!! :-) )

Il est vrai que Prague et Mozart c'est une histoire d'amour réciproque.😀

[@siuhhonkeung]

The Prague has become my favorite Mozart symphony over the years. The size of this orchestra is perhaps the most appropriate for Mozart symphonies. Much appreciated.

[@ruurtbos3175]

A great compliment to both orchestra and conductor mr. Philippe Herreweghe . How he directs with small hand and fingersmovements is quite delightful. Mozart shows his enormous craftmanship in this Praguer symfonie. WAUW.

[@ericvlakameyev2265]

This surely one on the best ensembles and orchestras in the world. All the great conductors, soloists and the backbone of everything the players. Woodwind, brass, strings; it compares with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and I Solisti Veneti for such a cohesive sound. The world is spoilt with all this talent.

Eine außergewöhnlich packende Darstellung!! Glückwunsch an dieses wunderbare Orchester (für mich das beste ARD-Orchester), das in der Lage ist, mit einem Spezialisten für historische Aufführungspraxis wie Herreweghe genauso kompetent zu spielen wie mit seinem Chef die "Vier letzten Lieder" von Richard Strauß: es bewältigt eine riesige stilistische Bandbreite auf allerhöchstem Niveau, weil es - unabhängig von der Epoche - in der Lage ist, jeweils als intelligentes Team zu agieren! Das ist heute die Aufgabe für ein "modernes" Sinfonieorchester: es muss wandelbar sein je nach Epoche oder Dirigent! Schließlich ist das auch für die Musiker lebendiger als immer nur die "Tradition" abzurufen!

[@comic4relief]

I play the bass, mainly electric, but upright also occasionally. I really like to listen to the bass in Mozart, in all sorts of pieces. And to watch, but, as usual, in the video the bassists are sidelined. You have to strain to catch a glimpse. Every time the first flautist has a solo passage she gets zoomed in on in the edit. You can check out her earrings. When the basses have a great bit, do the players get shown close up? No, of course not. And there are many wonderful passages in the bass of this symphony. 'Why?' I am asking myself.

[@andreapandypetrapan]

This exemplary orchestra in ensemble, and its individual dazzling players, and its several conductors (especially those titanically gifted women) are quite brilliant. I love this orchestra with all my womanly, crazy, music-adoring heart! What sane woman or indeed man would not? Moreover, there is a most inspiring democratic ethos of excellence available to every ear, and the spirit of universal enlightenment (found also in for instance d'Alembert, Kant, Voltaire, Heinrich Heine, Diderot, Goethe, Émilie du Châtelet and Thomas Mann) within a radio orchestra playing regularly to radio and online audiences around the planet of hundreds of thousands, or even millions ..... inshallah! Please come in person to London more often! As some caustic Irish wit once said, we English may not really understand music, but we do like the sound it makes. Hence there are at least five full-size orchestras, all assaying the complete repertoire and modern commissions, and each of unquestioned front-rank renown - the LSO, LPO, Philharmonia, RPO and BBC SO; and that is without naming the hundreds of other ensembles and ad hoc bands! Actually I will name two; the Academy of St Martins in the Fields, and of course the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. What a miraculous citadel of aural feasts and ecstasies is found in our wicked Londinium on the Mighty Thames. Love, andrea

Ich war angenehm überrascht als ich bemerkte, dass der Paukenspieler und die Blechbläser auf historischen Instrumenten spielen. Es war ein Riesengenuss für mich Euch zuzuhören, und Grossmeister Herreweghe beim Zaubern zuzusehen.

[@amuller3101]

Ich war auch sehr positiv überrascht. Ich liebe den "brastigen" Klang von Naturtrompeten und -hörnern. Aber woran erkennt/hört man, dass die Pauke historisch ist? Eine Pauke hat schließlich immer nur eine Tonhöhe.

[@lovelettertothewest]

@@amuller3101 Optisch erkennt man eine historische Pauke daran, dass der Kessel spitzer nach unten verläuft, und kein Pedal für eine spontane Umstimmung vorhanden ist. Klanglich wohl daran, dass sie weniger laut und ihr Grundton weniger Obertöne beinhaltet (also dumpfer klingt). Soweit meine klanglichen Spekulationen.

Les "baroqueux" ou le refus systématique de s'appesantir ne serait-ce qu'une seconde supplémentaire sur les passages les plus lyriques d'une musique divine... La castration du beau, l'amoindrissement des sentiments, l'appauvrissement à tout prix, l'accélération forcenée, l'aigrissement des sons. Le génie mozartien revu et corrigé par les beaux penseurs des XXe et XXIe siècles qui affirment des âneries, émettent des thèses définitives comme jouer Bach comme si l'on travaillait une pâte mollassonne, Mozart comme un hystérique et Beethoven avec des instruments en bois d'allumettes... Tout faire pour saccager et parvenir coûte que coûte à ce qu'on puisse mettre en parallèle la musique d'avant, quitte à la piétiner, à celle, calamiteuse, des crétins d'aujourd'hui... Le Communisme dément et ravageur se nichant jusque dans les moindres recoins de nos patrimoines, afin qu'au bout du compte, nous finissions par délaisser nos géniaux ancêtres au profit de la bouillie actuelle. Plus de lustre, plus de gloire, plus de panache...
