[@Mezzotenor]

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.

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.

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..

[@nobodyaskedbut]

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.

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.

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.

[@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!

Thanks for showing trombone slides at 25:29, it confirmed to me that 5th position makes most sense for that B flat.

[@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.

[@angieferguson16]

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

[@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.

[@Snow314]

Dear Maestro Vasily Petrenko , All The Artists of Oslo Filharmonien and those who contributed so much for this masterpiece !, I do apologise for my 3rd ? or so of comments by me here ... but this such a masterpiece performance of P. I. Tchaikovsky is so superb to an extent of my daily ! rituals of listening to it with my appreciation and joy ... I think this performance is not only artistically / technically so beautiful but also so symbolic of the " theme " and " aim " or " ideal " of our current eras - as of now 4th of February 2022 when we all are facing with this global pandemic without our clear knowledge as to when it ends - so this very theme of this Tchaikovsky Symphony NO5 gives us this doubt / uncertainty of the feeling in tune with the composer at 1st Movement to the superb / victorious / conviction of fate with victory in the 4th movement has , at least in my perception, got a very symbolic message in tune with the current eras ... Also this performance conducted in 2011- the very year which , in Japan , my native country has suffered so much with Tohoku Tsunami & Earthquake where even now the many scars of that huge natural disaster remains after 10 years passed since then ... Also the superb performance of a French Horn Solo Part by this lady in the 2nd Movement is a symbolic theme of gender equality even though with her such brilliant performance, this role does exceed the prejudice that most of the orchestra members especially those with Horn etc have been performed so far by male mostly ( applicable to my so many actual concerts attendance of this symphony all around the world including London UK where I used to reside ) in a positive sense . Brava to this lady with such an exquisite perfection in her solo in the second movement! Last but not the least let me express my appreciation/ Bravie to this such wonderful, powerful and convincing artistic / journalistic concerts as well as dance , theatrical arts & everything that were so amazingly carried out in time for the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony Concerts of 2021!! The very Raison d'être de art as well as the value of accurate message with struggles for realisations with Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet performed by Oslo Filharmonien with this powerful dance was so amazing to my tears to watch ... Also with Maestro Vasily Petrenko conducting of Russian Orchestra the video that I found in via other channel on the You Tube was /is also such a masterpiece! - the another " Romeo & Juillet " by P.I, Tchaikovsky!

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.

Tremendous, super fine performance AND glad to see the standing ovation all the performers, which is rare in KZbin concerts, to my dismay!

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. 🙏💐

[@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!
