Richard Strauss: An Alpine Symphony | Giuseppe Sinopoli and the Staatskapelle Dresden

[@flaviomosconi4774]

The early passing of Maestro Sinopoli was s great loss to the musical scene 😢

[@dmntuba]

PERFECTION!!!!! One of the Worlds Greatest orchestras performing fantastic music that is in their blood. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@DWClassicalMusic]

Our pleasure - we're glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@David_Span]

How is it "in their blood"? How is genetics a factor here?

[@user-dt8yq1et7w]

Thanks for uploading such a great performance. After this concert in Dresden they went to Tokyo to bring this work and I was there. Their performance was one of the most amazing and exciting experiences throughout the entire concerts in my life. The orchestra is known as the one which has been dedicated this work directly by the composer and famous for the first performance in the world. I have more than 40 different performances of this work in CDs. Among them this performance is so unique and it’s impossible for other orchestras to achieve this level of performance in terms of quality of clear sound, wider dynamic range from silence to massive sound and unique change of paces between slow and high speeds which is nothing comparable. The conductor has succeeded in creating every single sound brilliantly from the orchestra which has to be talented and admired.

Dear 平原直, thank you for sharing your love for this truly wonderful symphony with us. We are very pleased that we were able to give you such pleasure with it and to awaken such beautiful memories. Best regards from Berlin.

OK but i like also the version of Alan Gilbert with NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester ,a very good sound.

[@user-dt8yq1et7w]

Dear @hornkix, Thanks for your message. Mr. Alan Gilbert has been appointed to The Principal Guest conductor for Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (TMSO) and last July he conducted Alpine Symphony with TMSO which was amazed me to remind the historical performance of Sinopoli with Staatskapele Dresden.

@@user-dt8yq1et7w I don t understand why you tell this version of Dresda is historical...because is not ...historical from what point ? Sinopoli ies was a MASTER, but the orchestra has alot of mistakes (horn player..etc ) yes waz a great orchestra...but in this days... no. I respect your opinion , i m an musician , hornplayer....and i heard everything. every sound, so in my opinion the Alan Gilbert - Alpensinfonie with NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester is THE BEST version of ALPENSINFONIE in our days. Fantastic players, amazing sound created.

Not for everyone. I heard this while on the road, in Detroit. I noticed I was not far from the orphanage I grew up in, so I decided to drive there. This came on the radio, CBC. Made the experience all the more real and emotional. Ill never forget it. Couldn't leave the car till it was over. Then, reality.

RICHARD STRAUSS...THE ABSOLUTE KING OF ORCHESTRATION AND HE ALWAYS WAS AND WILL BE FOREVER!

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser spätromantischen und einzigartig konstruierten Sinfonie mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kalkulierter Dynamik. Das war Giuseppe Sinopoli!

[@lohengrin8133]

wieso letztlich immer den gleichen Kommentar unter die Videos? Running Gag?

[@xvsj-s2x]

Bravo 👏 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Thank you ❤️

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

I may not know the anatomy of a symphony...I really enjoyed the soft & mellow parts that comes inbetween, a lot :) Beautiful composition :) I had a great time watching this video :)

[@creuzasimionatto1838]

So beautiful...!

[@luizantoniobronislawski3987]

Fantastic!

[@kevwang0712]

I'm assuming this was a recording made on videotape instead of film. I know the technology for high definition video on tape was available in 1998, but seeing a live recording from before 2000 in HD still blows my mind sometimes. Either that, or the upscaling is remarkable.

[@xapaga1]

Aha, an analogue HD format, so to speak. Japan's NHK dumped millions of cash into this "old" tech in the 1990s.

[@user-kz9sg2cx6]

This Symphony is the Greatest in history of Music.

[@himmerod9117]

it is a symphonic poem, not a symphony😉

[@Duketributechannel]

R.I.P. Maestro Sinopoli you were a great director , also author of the wonderful " Parsifal in Venice " . A great personality who disappeared too soon.

[@moooo2689]

excellent！

[@germanquintero10121946]

exquisito

[@hape3862]

It is a pity that Richard Strauss is mainly known only for a few bars of Zarathustra.

[@noemiserra3366]

Jo el conec per la simfonia alpina

[@richardwilliams473]

And thanks to 2001 A Space Oddessy film for using his music

[@superpolackmike]

Ein Heldenleben, Der Rosenkavalier, Sinfonia Domestica, Death and Transfiguration, Wind Symphonies, Horn Concertos.....And on and on and on!! The Man was a Genius and Prolific

[@hape3862]

@@superpolackmike Don't forget the Lieder! (His finest works in my opinion.)

[@Edeskenney]

Maybe on Mars.

[@mateuszfandri8086]

It's interesting that the beginning and descending theme after Sunrise resemble Verklärte Nacht by A. Schoenberg...

[@laurequesada164]

Most interesting, indeed. I love how composers quote each other (intentionally or not)

[@donaldspaulding6973]

So Slow! It seems to loose a lot of forward momentum at these tempos.

[@ZackGasse]

Maestro, you should not have gone so soon, but Mozart and Schubert died also too soon.

[@akaisenpaitsubakihiganbana6706]

Unbelievable.

[@franzschmidt3577]

Strauss ist ja vor allen auch als Lieder-Komponist bekannt. Das Stück "Morgen" würde ich da als Einstieg empfehlen.
