Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings in C major // Tønnesen & NCO

[@hkobb7]

God, the opening chord just takes your breath away

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

And its return at 28.23 !!!

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

voiced differently, of course, but still... such a great closing of the circle moment...

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

PS they are having SO MUCH FUN in the waltz, look at those joyful smiling faces.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Comfort and Gracefulness of this music is beyond description I'm on cloud

[@FinnoUgric]

The peak of the European culture is undoubtedly the Classical music. This is just breathtaking. So mesmerizing, beautiful and sad, full of sorrow and longing for something that may never come back...just my interpretation. Regardless, greetings from a Hungarian to everyone who's in love with culture.

[@tomek_maslankowski]

Stunning performance! I just played this for my seven-year-old and four-year-old, and they clapped enthusiastically at the end. They wished you all could hear their applause, so I needed to leave this comment. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@SunnyKhuranaViolin]

It's very reassuring to know that such young children appreciate music like this. It makes me feel good about the future of classical music!

[@user-wm7to9cv7u]

Чайковский русский гений!

[@denise2169]

Your children are lucky to have you as their father!

[@scottmiller6495]

Outstanding in every way Bravo !!!!!

[@jonkflurgen6975]

I almost made it through the 1st movement without crying. The violas at 9:03 finally got me

[@russelabban4828]

that is literally the best part i love it so much

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

And again at 17:00 - 17:40. They're great throughout of course. The first violist is one of the finest players I've ever had the joy to hear, and so beautifully suited to chamber work. I wish I could have the pleasure of hearing them do a complete solo recital some time...

[@Elena-ef7dk]

When I listen to Tchaikovsky I feel the full depth of the russian soul. God, it's so brilliant and so beautiful, I don't understand how a person could come up with such beauty. My favorite piece.

[@will4721]

That is my favorite piece of all classical music as well, it brings so many different feelings it's just pure beauty. Cheers from France to Russia

[@haroldnicholson8603]

Yes they move, I would expect nothing less from musicians who play with so much passion and commitment. Beautiful rendition of this classic piece.

Whenever I want to listen to the nature I listen to Tchaikovsky. His music is just like the nature talks. Stunning !

[@fawazkhaledalzayed9812]

If you want to listen to emotional music go with Tchaikovsy … if you want to listen to strength and powerful listen to Tchaikovsky .. if you want to listen to soundtracks also listen to Tchaikovsky … this man is a gift from God to the humanity …

[@chopin65]

Tchaikovsky was the complete genuis in an incomplete world. Even his fire seemingly proved not great enough in this cold world. But we do have his music. Each time it is played we may gather around it and be kept live by its beauty. Is that not a cheerful idea? I am so grateful for his music.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

As always with Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, a wonderful, both intense and poetic performance!

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

Love this composer, this piece, this ensemble. What a glorious combination. One of the few times I've seen the NCO seated and using (discreetly) scores. No matter, they still dance! Many great memories of playing this work myself. The seconds are super-satisfyingly solid in the first mvt; the violas **everywhere**; and the balance is exquisite. Wonderful video, grateful it has been shared here with us.

[@PhillDrakeEntertainment]

Wow without a conductor that's amazing syncrhonization!

[@juannicolascastromartinez4637]

This is one of the most exciting C major pieces I've ever heard.

[@julieandrews730]

What? No audience to give a standing O? Just a wonderful performance. I will listen to/watch this again and again. Thank you, NCO.

[@user-jz8kz8lp9j]

The best, the best, the best.

[@BrainiacFingers]

Who needs a conductor? Stunning performance!

[@SeanLawlorNelson]

the divinely sweet strings of Tchaikovsky!

[@FMKARR]

I think I'm quite a tough guy, but this Serenade makes me difficult to keep my tears under control

[@bootstrapperwilson7687]

Only real tough guys can cry, they don't give af what people think.

[@editorialcastilla9901]

The opening of this song has a pathos that it absolutely mesmerizing. Excellent performance!

[@1000pollak]

It's not a song! There are no voices. Still very beautiful

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Beautiful... majestic music from another age performed with the score appearing on computer tablets! I had to do a bit of research about how the pages are turned... because they do! Love this group... another wonderful group of musicians from Norway. I love the Oslo Philharmonic as well. Thanks for this.

[@ernestdsauceda]

This. is. perfect. BRAVO!

[@user-ci8wn8ow4n]

Это божественно. Не могу передать ощущение невероятного наслаждения этими ангельскими звуками. Разве такое мог написать человек?

[@sueveal4856]

Thank you for this beautiful performance! The Elegie is especially gorgeous! Love the lighting effects, too.

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

The bite, after the hush, at 23:28 YES!!!

[@aleksandarjankovski6542]

What lovely playing! Thank you!

[@jolanta0024]

As always - beautifully perfect sound! BRAVOOOOO! 👏👏👏

[@user-rs9nz3qu6h]

String for Serenade is the most excellent work amung all of Tchaikovsky. It's elaborate and gorgeous performance.

[@kallanda]

Amazing. I love your musicianship, guys. Thank you!

[@TheXanadu88]

Beautiful NCO, just beautiful - Bravo!

[@nathysilvio]

Always makes me cry of joy

[@user-rs9nz3qu6h]

As regard of my humble ears, l appreciate Serenade for strings is top masterpiece among all of Tchaikovsky. It is dreamy or sometimes it is majestic, these affections always catch me perfectly.

[@allangreen4492]

GLORIOUS! Congratulations and warmest thanks!

[@tatjanamarinkovic43]

I am stunned by this performance and it is surely the best rendition of this precious piece I 've heard till now. Congratulations to Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and thanks a lot!

Magnificent. It's so interesting that there's not a single Somalian here. They are by the millions in Norway, and they supposed to bring cultural enrichment, but I am yet to see any Somalian doctors or musicians. Perhaps we should send them to Israel.

[@will4721]

Lmao they will cry for racism when there's plenty of asians who play classical music and are immigrants too. Maybe it has to do something with IQ ;)

[@straighttalking2090]

A remarkable number of east Asian women in tn this orchestra (and rather good looking ones too! In fact the whole orchestra is good looking). If it's not too gauche to ask.. is there any reason for this? An absolutely wonderful rendition of Serenade.

[@berenonehand]

Why do they wiggle their hands so much?

[@user-eo6qm3pm6i]

Because they're playing the notes--and, as it is a Romantic work, doing *vibrato*. Vibrato is an added pulsing shaking motion (lot of different ways to do it) that adds intensity, resonance, variations of colour to each note. It's normal in string playing, although very little used in Baroque performance practice.

[@dennisholmes1454]

Well played, but not as tuneful as Dvorak Serenade!

[@voraciousreader3341]

Gorgeous sound, beautiful interpretation! However, I couldn’t watch the playing bc of all of the unnecessary swaying and facial grimacing. I remember hearing about a young orchestra whose members were told to sit absolutely still when playing....adults should have to try it as well, especially when they’re being filmed or videotaped! All of that nonsense does NOT improve playing, sound, or ensemble.

[@jolanta0024]

What a NONSENSE to say ! Such a nice thing to watch human emotions when they play so incredibly GOOD. Please NCO don't listen to those stiff dead academics. Stay as you are. Stay ARTISTS!

[@oa8959]

It’s called being passionate. If you don’t like it just don’t watch.

[@pzbrawl]

If you had replicable evidence that sitting absolutely still while playing improves performance, you'd have cited it. You don't, do you!? Meanwhile here's a splendid performance where the players move naturally. If it bothers you personally, consider not watching.

[@hkobb7]

In a chamber orchestra without a conductor, the first stands are responsible for physically cueing their sections' attacks and releases, which they do with their torso and head. In a piece with as much as the tempo follows phrases in the Serenade, it would be impossible to make you happy and stay together.

[@OliviaDaviesI]

Watch the Balanchine choreography perhaps and maybe you can enjoy their swaying? Maybe the swaying shows their immersion in the score? It is rare to enjoy watching an orchestra. Perhaps when we can do so it is worth changing for.

[@user-oz6qo3fs9s]

穿有颜色的衣服搭配的合适的时候，男人有味，女人美丽。 黑色的衣服搭配绿色，黄色，红色领带，蓝色领带等，搭配有颜色的衣服，装饰品是有生动感的，柔和的色彩搭配有它的价值和感觉，深色的搭配好了非常有庄严，肃穆，力量的感觉，可是穿黑色的衣服大部分是参加葬礼的，穿黑色的衣服让人心情低落，末法时代社会混乱不堪， 精神重负，心情不好，身体不健康，人们的水平低，听音乐的水平低，使大音乐家生活困难辛苦，心情低落。 我现在听到音乐的演奏实在是非常好，演奏的水平高，音乐🎶是听的，但是在电视📺或在KZbin 上是可以看到服装的，如果服装有彩色，画面會有生动活泼的感觉，那么观众會多听多看，这样的结果是好的，运气也會好的。
