Brahms: 3. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@junkobaker]

Now, I have to wish to go to Frankfurt to hear the symphony in person before I am too old to travel. What a find on KZbin to be able to watch the orchestra perform in such a passionate and artistic atmosphere. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to experience such a beauty, otherwise I would not have been able to. My late uncle was a flutist, and any time the flute sounds above other instruments, it is as if I am listening to him. Thank you for that reminder, however bittersweet it may be.

[@oscarsmom3905]

In the fourth year in music school, Dr. Murphy analyzed this piece with us. We spent a whole semester with this symphony. Each movement, each bar, each theme & motive, front to back, vertically and horizontally. Listening to this is like seeing an old friend. I realize now, I am very lucky to be knowing this great piece. I like this recording the most, the conductor kept a great tempo in each movement, truly brought out all the under current and emotion. Brahms’ pain and suffers has not gone in vain, it’s all here. Thanks Brahms, thanks Clara.

[@Claude1Rochon]

That last comment...Thanks Brahms, thanks Clara ...is fucking Genius. They lived something that millions wished they had....💎

[@jospenner9503]

Clara? Are these Brahms' feelings for her?

[@Claude1Rochon]

@@jospenner9503 It's easy to suspect that indeed they were. Johannes was in love with both Robert his mentor and beloved teacher in many respects...and Clara whom he admired and loved in private. But the passing of Robert in 1856...left little room for an eternal platonic love between the two survivors. It is more than certain that Johannes and Clara, after a very respectful period of grief, allowed themselves to find each other's arms. BUT and this is a very strong BUT Clara was constantly touring even as her husband was locked up in the Institution were he willingly commited himself. And she tourred all thru the 60s, 70s and 80s. So if there was a Passion between the two...it was certainly anything but domestic and tranquil...as Johannes' reputation was also travelling across Europe...and so was constantly growing. Therefore...i think we are looking at romantic platonic musical love...that for all i know...she might have also shared with Joseph Joachim. Joseph Joachim was the genius behind Brahms splendid Instrumental Colours. He was akin to Maurice Ravel...a genius with a Palette for Orchestration. Maybe we have ourselves...a part-time Lover's Triangle of touring Stars in the 19th C. Who knows ? I doubt that even after reading the hundreds of letters ALL of them educated Socialites wrote to one another...we would find any indiscrete allusions to this. So, let's leave it to respectful imagination. They were just like us, hungry...but nobody could travel faster than Horse Carriage power. So the Fast Life was very much slower back then. Cheers.

Das ist für dich: Im Zug der Zeit, auf Gleisen weit, Reisen wir mit Brahms' Melodie. Die Klänge tragen uns durch Raum und Zeit, Landschaften ziehn vorüber Brahms' Musik, von Ewigkeit geweiht. In jedem Ton ein Stückchen Sehnsucht wacht, Erinnerungen werden lebendig, Die Hoffnung erwacht. Die Fahrt zieht vorbei, die Stunden vergeh'n, So reisen wir weiter, Hoffnung im Herzen, Tränen im Gesicht, Bis der Blick verwischt. Die Tränen, sie trocknen, die Melodie sie bleibt, In uns'rem Leben, für alle Zeit.

Dvořak loved Brahms 3d symphony and said it's better than the first two.... Dvořák to Simrock, October 1883: “I was in Vienna these days, where I spent beautiful days with Dr. Brahms, who has just arrived with Wiesbaden. I have never found him in such a cheerful mood. We were together every day at noon and in the evening, and we talked about a lot of things. (...) He immediately granted my wish to hear something from his new Symphony and played me its first and last movement. I say and do not exaggerate that this work of his first symphonies prevails, although perhaps not in size and powerful concept - certainly in beauty! (...) “Two months later, Dvořák is present at the Viennese premiere of this Brahms Third, and he immediately travels to Berlin for his work. Dvořák to Simrock, January 1, 1884: “I hear here in Prague that the Brahms Symphony, which I am looking forward to as a child, will be played in January. If you write me when it will be, I will come immediately ... ”The Berlin performance took place at the end of January and soon after Dvořák began writing his Seventh Symphony in D minor: he began to write it with a determination to give the world something very special that would surpass its current symphonic creation and what would match Brahms in his eyes.

Sinfonia sublime di un compositore straordinario, per me insieme alla quarta la migliore sinfonia mai scritta

[@BrentPaterson-m4g]

3rd Movement, Horn solo... Melts the heart...❤

안드레스 오로즈코 에스트라다 참 겸손하면서도 음악을 품위있고 듣는우리도 품격있게 해주는 멋진지휘자

[@비트호벤]

맞아요! 저도 이 지휘자 연주 많이 듣게되네요

[@YKKY]

Beautifully played third movement! This is my anxiety calming music and it's a pure perfection!

[@markbratcher9095]

One of my favorite symphonies and beautiful performance. The only critique I have is for one particular spot of camera work. The 3rd movement starts, the cellos have their biggest moment of glory, and the camera is focused squarely on the backs of their heads. I love how animated the orchestra became in the energetic last movement.

2024 - Still so beautifully performed ! 🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)

[@matthewcoldicutt5951]

Great sound- The old Curmdgeon Johannes would approve! The passion and fluidity of the conductor seem to inspire something special from the orchestra; not simply going through the motions, as all techinally accomplished musicians could if in auto pilot mode .

Eine monumentale, frische Symphonie, genial interpretiert

[@enriquepedrinaci6561]

El director ha conseguido que cada músico de lo mejor de sí mismo. Así que excelente interpretación de una maravillosa música.

[@accipiterignitus5123]

The second movement is so underrated, such simple melodic materials can provoke so much emotion after listening for a while

[@mxlpi4860]

0:22 - 0:31 this makes me feel the way I cannot describe, there's something do heartbreaking in this sound it hurts

[@waverly2468]

Those multiple microphones on the ceiling probably explain the great sound quality of these videos.

[@paullewis2413]

The sound quality is great as you say. If you go to any of the Warsaw Philharmonic’s broadcasts (an equally fine orchestra) you will hear probably the best engineered sound available on Y.T.

[@CENTEXRailProductions]

Beautiful piece. Love how he conducts and flows to gently. Be awesome to watch him conduct in person. French horns sound so nice in this piece.

[@mariannabach5759]

Awww, those middle movements! Pure gems!

[@JasielMartini]

The third movement is one of my favorites. That horn part gives me the chills every time.

Una música maravillosa que llega a lo más profundo del alma...

[@Amy-ze5qg]

모든 것이 더하지도 덜하지도 않게 조화롭고 따뜻하고 들으면 들을수록 더 아름답게 들립니다. 특히 플룻소리가 너무나 아름답네요❤ 감사합니다.

[@mikepanick9362]

Brahms Third is easily my favorite of the four, an unpopular opinion for sure. This interpretation is stellar, helping my argument!

[@tahiasarapo4576]

Aimez-vous Brahms?

[@LuisLopez-xx2db]

His best Symphony is the number one , no exist comparison.

[@urshandschin5108]

Eine ganz wunderbare Sinfonie!

[@jackylen57]

Très belle interprétation de cette magnifique symphonie !!! Merci !!!

[@anablancacrosi7391]

Maravillosa Orquesta y Andrès Orozco-Estrada una maravilla.

[@mariaesperanza6548]

Thanks so much for uploading. All my favorite symphonies sounds wonderfully here

[@antoineduchamp4931]

This is without a very fine orchestra... the sound is strong in the excellent German tradition... I do hope the residents of Frankfurt appreciate the skill of the exceptional musicians that make up this orchestra. They play the Brahms beautifully of course.

[@shamsam4]

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony are superb!

[@Crimsonkrish]

What a talented orchestra ! This is as it would have sounded.. it’s so purely Brahms.

[@bobsimon8377]

Much enjoyed performance. Bravo...
