Not the clapping after the first part! Wonderful recording. Best interpretation of Rite of Spring I've heard.

[@NDRKlassik]

Wow thank you very much! We are very pleased that you like our work. 😍

[@VGM937]

Il brano più potente della musica classica! Strawinsky un fenomeno!

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

The key that unlocks this chaos is the woodwind. And they nail it. One of the most complex pieces of orchestral music ever written is superbly performed here. Brilliant.

[@NDRKlassik]

Yay!! Thank you, we appreciate your words!

[@josemanuelpastorcampos]

Five stars to the producer, Nora Brandenburg. The best production of a classical music concert I have seen to date.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much, we are very pleased. We hope that our colleague also reads your great compliment. ☺️

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

One small piece of advice. Keep the applause and appreciation going on the upload until the end. It's important to show the youth of today watching that this music is still the best.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

An excellent interpretation, clear and dynamic! The camera people follow the music very fine.

[@NDRKlassik]

Happy to hear that you liked it! :)

17:20- That malfunctioning little twerp!! He tricked me into going this way!! But he will do no better!! Hey wait!! A transport!! I'm saved!! Help!! Over here!!

[@davidspence1404]

This is a splendid Rite. Who cares whether or not this one is the very best we've heard or not? There are so many of this piece that so easily fall flat. I hate saying it, but I am reminded too of some of Dohnanyi's best work with this orchestra and with Cleveland - a perfect rendition of the Stravinsky Violin Concerto wtih Gil Shaham and the NDR some nearly twenty years ago, for instance. I want to say that what got played here is the 1947 version, not the original version, but of course it has equal merit with the composer's original version.

[@areyounatz]

What an excellent performance! And that is one humongous guiro.

[@蘇子元-f6y]

I can imagine the dance from the music. What a performance!

Bravo

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you!!

7:10 Praise the camera operator for this moment. Focuses on the correct people just right! First on the piccolo, establishing the main motif, then to the contrabassoon for its answer, then to horn which compliments the contrabassoon, and then back to contrabassoon again! I love contrabassoon

[@NDRKlassik]

We are delighted that you like the work of our colleagues in the direction and on the camera so much. Thank you very much for the compliment - we are happy to pass it on to our colleagues!

Agile, smooth, and clear-cut. Alan is always cool. Love it!

[@NDRKlassik]

Awesome, thank you for listening!!

The best video version of this masterpiece. Every note, as never before.

[@lightspeed174]

How wonderful is Stravinsky's Music. Wow! This is an outstanding recording of The Rite of Spring. I know I haven't heard it played any better than this, and the conductor did a fantastic job in making the music come alive. Let me tell you, Stravinsky would have been very very proud of ths performance. Thank you so much for uploading this. All I can say is, I have enjoyed this immensely.

[@NDRKlassik]

It's a pleasure for us. Thank you very much for your touching words!

[@常陸坊海尊]

ストラヴィンスキーの素晴らしい作曲だから、それなりの演奏になっているが、聴きところの無いごくごく普通の演奏でありますなぁ。

[@scomu9742]

The Rite of Spring is a ballet and orchestral work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. A masterpiece of musical energy, the composition shows an absolutely prodigious network of inventiveness. From the synthesis of all the musical elements operated by Stravinsky is born an aesthetic multiplicity which intensely privileges the acoustic effects and the dramatic force. « The sacral dance » (Allegro moderato), Act 2, Scene 6, is the culmination of the piece, the moment that illustrates the original idea of its composition, this dance where the brutal force of a symphony orchestra explodes, treated in a style revolutionary. The work which has exacerbated the chromaticism to the highest point, the harsh harmonies, the raw sonorities, are born from the creation of powerful instrumental blocks, that clash or complement each other, the richness of timbres of an enlarged orchestra as well as the use of playing modes that push the sounds to the extreme, emancipating the rhythmic and releasing the tonal harmony from its classico-romantic pivots. Stravinsky juxtaposes and accumulates his musical ideas in contrasting flows, which interact with each other and create a perpetual increase in the energy released, which will crystallize an innovative approach essential to the modernity of 20th century music. The celebrity of the work does not hesitate to make it one of the pillars of musical modernism. Phenomenal beauty! *Lucien*

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much for your detailed thoughts about Stravinsky and his composition!

[@LucienMarine]

@@NDRKlassik O thank you! Summarizing a musical work is not thing easy but it's pleasant for me. *LM*

Wie groß war die Begeisterung bei dieser Aufführung " La Sacré du Printemps " von Igor Stravinsky sowohl wie bei Orkestr als auch beim Dirigent! Ehemaliger Generalmusikdirektor von New York Philharmonic Alan Gilbert ist einer der bekanntesten Interpreten von diesen modernen Werke aller Zeiten. Vielleicht wehre es sehr hilfreich für ünge Dirigenten von einigen Schwierigkeiten in diesem Werk zu wissen bevor sie "La Sacré "dirigieren wollen.Für viele Dirigenten " La Sacré.." zählt nicht zu oft gespielten Werken in ihrem Repertoire .Man kann nur vermuten, warum? Es ist schon bekannt das auf Grund dieses Revolutionären Werkes die klare harmonische Logik liegt. Diese Logik besteht sehr oft aus einfachen Akkorden. Zum Beispiel: 1Part. " RITUAL of ABDUCTION ." 2 Part ."Sacrificial DANCE "Ziffer 186- -bis zum Schluss. Ein Dirigent der diese Logik nicht kennt und nur die Struktur lernt wird immer mit diesem Werk Schwierigkeiten haben. Vor allem wird er auch nicht von Orkestr gespielte Musik richtig hören! Vielleicht ist noch was interessantes zu bemerken .Part 2."INTRODUCTION " Ziffer 82 -83. Es könnte sein das Stravinsky schon in dieser Zeit eine musikalische "Vorbote " für Zukünftige Musik geschrieben hat. Nicht nur für später entstandene Musik der "NEUEN WIENER SCHULE " sondern auch für " Jazz "der zu dieser Zeit noch nicht als Teil der ernsten Musik war. Es gibt noch andere Musik Episode in " La Sacré.." die dafür sprächen. Recht herzlichen Dank für ganz besondere Darstellung "La Sacré du Printemps ".

[@NDRKlassik]

Herzlichen Dank für Ihre analytische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen unsere Interpretation des Werks und unser Video gefällt. ☺️

[@SergejRazinkov]

@@NDRKlassik Danke,freue mich auch. Vielleicht werden meine Bemerkungen hilfreich für einigen Dirigenten.

[@Richard-b5r9v]

I noticed that the Principal Timpanist is playing the 2nd timpani part. Im guessing that his student is Solo Timpanist in this performance?

[@NDRKlassik]

... we check and get back to you!

[@NDRKlassik]

Hi there! So, at this concert both our Principal Timpanist played. They are of the same rank and decide individually who plays which part. Have a beautiful day!

[@Richard-b5r9v]

@@NDRKlassik Thank you for your prompt response. I remember this conductor being a former rank and file string player in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra?. If true he has transitioned well indeed. I play timpani in my Community Orchestra called the Gold Coast Philharmonic Orchestra

[@NDRKlassik]

Alan Gilbert is a trained violinist. He was also director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra until 2017.

[@pianiman]

I can think of no better piece to perform inside a giant wasp nest invaded by fungus than this one (great performance btw)

[@NDRKlassik]

Bahaha, what??? 😂 We love our Elbphilharmonie! (And thank you for the compliment!)

[@pianiman]

Oh I was just teasing. The design is sure to provoke anybody who suffers from trypophobia though 😂 But in all seriousness, some stellar moments in this performance. The FILTHY trombones in the spring rounds is among the best interpretations I’ve ever heard!

[@NDRKlassik]

Yip, we know about the trypophobia thing ... It sure works for the acoustics!! ;)

[@pianiman]

@@NDRKlassik Clearly! Can only imagine what a thrill this would've been to hear live in this space

Notalar o kadar karmaşık ve kaotik ki, enstrümanistler, kendi bölümlerini çalacağı zaman karışan müzik yoğunluğu içinde nasıl şaşırmıyorlar?

[@clydeblair9622]

Metronomic, where is the dymanism? Flat. Give me the Stravinsky or Boulez.

[@常陸坊海尊]

取り立て取り上げる演奏ではないですなぁ。
