Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances | New Year's Eve 2021 | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra

[@jwilliams8210]

Great, great, performance! The orchestra is really clear and on point (kudos to Maestro Gilbert and the members of the orchestra). Also, I can finally hear the piano the way Rachmaninov intended for it to be heard (IMO). Amazing performance by the pianist!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much for this lovely praise! 🤩

I marvel at the talent of some of my fellow humans. I know nothing of the technicalities of classical music. All I know is that I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent performance. I am in awe of the creative genius who composed such a sublime piece of music. I am truly amazed at the talented individual performers and the wonderful skill they exhibit. (Just think of all the hours of practice.) I am very appreciative of the great conductor who brought it all together in such a powerful, moving way. Thanks for making this great performance available on KZbin!

Beautiful video, and the playing ain't bad, either! Love this piece.

[@markovelikonja5399]

I really like these Elbphilharmonie videos. Just delightful all around. Please keep them coming.

[@NDRKlassik]

It's a pleasure to share with you!

Conductor's conception sounds very good. Orchestra is, as always, on the top notch professional level, able to do whatever conductor artistically desires. Slow Non allegro works well because as a Non allegro it can be not only Allegro moderato but Andante, Adagio, even Largo, same as it can be Presto, or Prestissimo vivacissimo. Or just Allegro martiale e dolcissimo. I love the whole Rachmaninov's opus, all of his piano transcriptions, especially those of Bach - everything.

[@NDRKlassik]

Great! We are happy you like it!

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieser einzugartigen doch perfekt komponierten Tänze mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Der intelligente und geniale US-amerikanische Chefdirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle deutsche Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wundervoll und atemberaubend zugleich!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank, notaire2, and welcome back :)))

[@jimwilkins7209]

Wonderful musical performance, but near ruinous video cutaways. Totally superfluous.

We are glad you liked the performance! :)

Mahler

[@yuehchopin]

Schön gesetzt und auch pathetisch klingt

[@NDRKlassik]

Danke, wir freuen uns, dass es gefällt!

[@poturbg8698]

picture and sound are out of synchronization

[@NDRKlassik]

Hm, cannot find that? Where do you mean would it be out of sync?

[@stepaushi]

@@NDRKlassik It's not out of sync for me.

[@joachimsaxer4812]

no, they are not.

[@bigcedock]

Is classical music dead or slowly dying in the world of today?? I give you the Elbphilharmonie of Hamburg - costs be damned, they got it built. And for what, I ask? Taylor Swift? Lil’ Wayne? I don’t think so. I rest my case - for now, at least.

[@LeontyevMikhail]

First movement "non allegro". Дирижер улыбается. Не знает о чем музыка. Оркестр играет превосходно.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you! :) The recording was made at the New Year's Eve concert 2021 - hence the festive appearance.

[@douglasmmartin2191]

The Dutch do it much better.
