Gershwin: An American in Paris ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@julieandrews730]

A European orchestra performs an American composer in such a wonderful way! Superb! Bravo!

[@FJTheurkauf]

Paris in a different time altogether.

[@kingothesea1]

George Gerswhin and this orchestra so perfectly encapsulates all the feelings of being in love, the joy, silliness, flirtatiousness, passion, joy, appreciation, romance. I cannot help but be overwhelmed with affection for the one I love when I hear this piece, I'm gonna lean her backwards and give her a big kiss when I see her next ❤ music is majesty and Orchestras like these are truly the pinnacle of human achievement. My appreciation for this is boundless.

[@roulakappas6697]

Beautiful

[@tomcies6300]

One reason this performance is so special is its subtly. The conductor, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, slows the tempo and holds down the noise. When the musicians are are excellent, as are the Frankfurt Orchestra, playing crisp and pure, there's no need for bombast. Most conductors run Gershwin too hard and fast and loud. He was a artist. Not a truck driver. He deserves this. Cudos and bravos.

brings me to tears how beautiful it is / reminds me of my dad ( who is still alive) and loves this so much !

[@alvarito45]

I love this orchestra conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Though it can be observed many changes in the musicians, quality of interpretation never varies. Happy to find Clara at her flute. The brass with saxo sounds great. Trumpet magnificent. Strings as well. Thank you to HR FRANKFURT to allow us to enjoy the best performances.

[@davidkuder4356]

Second that on Clara. She obviously feels, responds & contributes to the music most expressively, and draws us in to feel that way too...

[@dmcg9066]

Music is a beautiful thing !!!! Shame on schools not supporting the arts !!!

[@CheckMate-g9u]

I first heard this when I was only six years old and to this very day I still love it. It brings back memories. In a peculiar way, it's haunting.

Gershin was phenomenal and so are the interpreters!

[@Viniciusmesquitarosa]

Maravilhoso! Belíssimo! Lindo! A sua visão sobre a paixão, é uma obra prima! Graças a Deus, ele lhe deu o talento, o dom e a oportunidade de compartilhar sua visão do amor para o mundo! Gratidão! 🎭

[@Torch315]

Fantastic work by the director of the filming of this piece to time the right camera shots to key moments and the musicians performing them; the trumpet, glockenspiel, Celesta, violin, flutes - even the small snare part and the crash of the cymbals, not to mention the director of the orchestra. Wonderful! Thank you for posting this (especially without ads).

[@jazael48]

¡Maravillosa versión! El maestro Orozco dirige con todo el cuerpo, con los ojos, con la expresión facial; creo que baila todas las notas (y quizás los silencios, quién quita) y dirige una orquesta virtuosos... ¿Qué más pedir? Es un verdadero orgullo para Colombia. Muy bien que nos representa.

[@davidkuder4356]

I hadn't heard this for Decades. So nice to recall Gershwin from my teenage years of musical discovery in the late '50s-early '60s... Your Orchestra and Conductor are gifted and spectacular. Great Mahler 6 and Shostakovich anything... I'll keep attending your virtual performances. Danke Schoen... 🎉🎉🎉

Brillante Aufführung dieses populären Meisterwerks mit farbenprächtigen und zugleich gut balancierten Töne verschiedener Instrumente. Alle Solospieler sind ausnahmslos ausgezeichnet. Der geniale Maestro leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester im lebhaften Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt Gänsehaut!

[@ArnikFFM]

notaire2 Auch hier woeder zu symphonisch. Paul Whiteman sollte da eher Vorbild sein; der war das Original.

[@notaire2]

Zwar zu symphonisch, aber mir gefällt diese kultivierte Leistung unter der künstlerischen Leitung von diesem südamerikanischen Dirigenten. Der geniale Konzertmeister spielt auch künstlerisch.
