Either I'm nuts or this is one of most elegant and enjoyable performances of the Fifth Symphony ever recorded. There is literally nothing I would change, and for once I was inspired to imagine the delight people feel when they discover that the third movement is a waltz. What... in a symphony? No worries, Tchaikovsky makes it work, bless his heart.

You must watch him conducting this same work with Russian State Orchestra more recent than this. He practically waltzes during the Valse---so much personality and elegance. I watched it cast to my big screen over 50 times in a year, I'm sure, and it's my favorite of all.

An excellent performance of a great work. A few years ago I was lucky enough to see Previn conducting there. Now in my 80s and living in Australia I feel so grateful to be able to share a performance like this through You Tube.

Tchaikovsky is the greatest of them all because of his astounding versatility. He excelled at symphonies, concertos, opera, chamber, choral, stand alone masterworks such as Capriccio Italien, one of the first great song writers (None But The Lonely Heart) and of course, his magnificent ballet music.

Totally agree ! I can help but cry each and everytime I hear this part, it touches something deep in my soul

[@123JWJWJW]

Trying to compliment the conductor. His movements make me think of a magician making magic happen before our eyes. He is very powerful in how he uses his movements to communicate to the orchestra. Would be interesting to hear reactions from the players. I'm no expert but this is fun to watch.

[@captainkielbasa5471]

He is a joy to watch. Orchestra and conductor are as one with the music.

[@andreistoriei2050]

As someone who has played first violin on this, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

[@keith_jones]

I have played this symphony in my youth. I was in the second violin section and got to watch, up close, the awesome work the winds were doing. The French horn parts and the oboe solo work are so demanding in this work.

[@davidevans3227]

​@@keith_jones wow! yes! the French horn and then oboe and then clarinet...? all winding around.. i love Tchaikovsky's music.. 🙂 x it would've been something to take part.. but it's wonderful to have those who can and do.. big thankyou to all orchestra players..

How lucky and how perseptive of the Oslo Philharmonic to appoint Vasily Petrenko as their new chief conductor, in my opinion he is the finest of the young generation of conductors and does not go in for sensationalism but rather for pure music making at its best. He is destined to become one of the all time greats.

[@rosieposie9564]

Agreed, but nothing wrong with a bit of sensationalism either.

[@davidevans3227]

[@alanstrange1171]

Maestro Petrenko makes great use of his left hand. As a leftie, who properly keeps the baton in his right hand, I appreciate this. So many have an ineffectual use of the stickless hand.

[@SpaceBabe12]

Me too, his expressions and movements made me feel the music even more (if that's possible)

[@captainkielbasa5471]

Petrenko is so delicately accurate with his expressions. He embodies the feelings I get from Tchaikovsky better than I ever could. And it obviously translates so well to the players! Everything looks and sounds so precise. Thanks Oslo Philharmonic, these recordings are very very high quality, and they are getting me through college.

[@angieferg16]

I got the privilege to perform the second movement of this symphony. Last year and it was amazing. This orchestra plays it beautifully.

[@TheAskald]

It must feel great to be part of that wonderful wall of sound. The best place in the concert hall is in the orchestra. As a spectator I'm often jealous

[@ocielfigueroa6123]

Tenía 24 años cuando descubrí esta maravillosa 5ta sinfonía de Tchaikovsky, mi favorita. Un disco de 33 1/3, en mi recién estrenado equipo de alta fidelidad, me permitió conocer esta música que me ha acompañado toda mi vida. Pasados los sesenta me sigo deleitando con esta excelente versión.

[@randysills4418]

Over my sixty years of hearing this great symphony I have never heard such a great performance of this work as this! Maestro Petrenko builds on held notes when other conductors are too passive. Bravo to all! ❤

[@ytkwon7560]

Be comforted by your music while this world is suffered from Corona 19 pandemic. Also remind me cozy Oslo and friendly people. Beautiful music. Beautiful Oslo Philharmonic.

Dear Oslo Philharmonic and Vasily Petrenko! Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable concert in Bratislava, for spreading incredible beauty, energy, and spirit over us! You represent the most outstanding example of collective human activity and cooperation. Thank you, thank you... you are very important for the world of today, you are making int a better place! May all the world have the chance to hear and see such concerts! All the best to all of you!

[@closetsclosetsclosetsclose9250]

impeccable conducting, just watching him is absolutely amazing! Extremely controlled music and you can actually hear the message being received by the musicians as they make sounds with his movements in such spectacular harmony. The movements with index and thumb on the left hand are especially controlled. His eye contact is also key.

[@TheVaughan5]

Vastly Petrenko has managed to turn the RLPO into a World class orchestra and soon he takes up directorship of the RPO in London where he will no doubt return that orchestra to the glorious past that it enjoyed with Beecham and Kempe.

I noticed this fabulous conductor a few weeks ago listening to Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet with the Oslo Phil. To this day I always considered Szell's and Cleveland's rendition the best. This recording surpasses it. From so young a conductor, it's surprising and amazing.

[@FredericNicholas]

Petrenko is just amazing !

[@RhapsodyOfJoy]

This performance remains, to me, the ultimate version of Tchaikovsky's fifth. So much so that even 9 years later, no matter what recording I'm listening to, I still just close my eyes and conjure up the image of these elegant musicians and the animated Mr Petrenko on the podium. Some conductors just leave you with the feeling that not only do they love the music, they are one with that music: they dance and waltz and swoon and laugh and cry along with the notes. Vasily Petrenko certainly is one of those rare creatures. Much obliged to you, sir. 🙏💐

[@4qwe4rty]

Привет из Киева. Исполнение прекрасное! Оркестр как один организм, играет слаженно и четко чувствует дирижера. Полагаю Чайковский порадовался бы такому исполнению его произведения. Есть чему гордиться и Норвегии, имея такой филармонический симфонический оркестр.

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

Petrenko is really good. I watched him with Simon Trpceski doing the Rach 2nd at the Proms. It's great that he found a position with the Oslo Phil. I loved drinking in his solid, straightforward performance of the Tchaikovsky 5th--and I don't mean scotch. All the oddities and idiosyncrasies in tempos, balance one hears in performances like Bernstein, Karajan, Haitink are refreshingly absent in this beautiful performance.

This is the first western classical symphony that I ever came across in my life in 2012. I had never experienced such beautiful music until then. Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony still remains my favourite. I am still listening to it and experiencing those sentiments again, even amidst this lockdown.

[@RhapsodyOfJoy]

Our first is almost always our most favourite and dearest to our hearts. Mine was Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto. Will never forget it, ever. Those Russian composers are something different altogether.

[@culturalconfederacy782]

Hands down the best performance of this piece I've ever heard. And I've sampled many recordings. Where conductors tend to blow it, is at the opening of the first movement or in the finale. Either the opening is too slow or the finale is played too fast- which sounds like a train wreck or Tchaikovsky was rushing to finish the piece. The dada da dada- dada da dada in the fourth movement, should never move at a snail's pace. Petrenko nails the 5th from start to finish. Bravo!

[@mateuszfandri8086]

Extraordinary! Petrenko and all the musicians from Oslo Philharmonic made finally well balanced performance of this Symphony. There's a trap in Tchaikovsky's music: so many great melodic and harmonic ideas occur that some conductors easily follow only passionate Russian idiom and make it too sentimental, exaggerate cantilena and add too much pathetic feeling, so it's hard to listen. Here's quite different and that's why I like it very much. Earlier I liked only Finale. Thanks to Oslo Philharmonic I really enjoy and better understand the musical concept of all parts and whole Symphony. And the dynamic palette is really fantastic! Congratulations maestro and orchestra!
