Richard Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel op. 28 | Semyon Bychkov | WDR Symphony Orchestra

[@philtsui]

Effortless horn solo, some musicians are smiling and cameraman catch every moment, what cam I ask for more! Thank you

[@shupingwang3392]

Das ist eine klare und ausdrucksstarke Auffuehrung von Strauss TE. Bychkov ist wie immer hervorragend darin, sehr genau und mit passenden Tempi zu arbeiten. Da stimmt einfach alles und hat Charakter.

[@WDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank! Es freut uns, dass Ihnen unsere Interpretation gefällt 😊

[@gregorywoodbridge7590]

More Bychkov!!! Give us everything you’ve got!

[@Everest-nh3dl]

Very stylish with the pitch black background. I really like that. I wish there were more performances like this today. Thank you for uploading these broadcasts from the Philharmonie!

Hi, Everest1992! You are welcome!

fantastic Orchestra , fantastic Soloists......Conductor ...and of course my all time favorite Composer Richard Strauss:-)) thx for posting

[@cgonz20]

I think it’s amazing to see Maestro Bychkov utilize the extra trumpet and horn parts that most performances omit! Thank you for this amazing performance!

[@WDRKlassik]

We‘re glad you like it. 😃

[@fabricefortin8230]

Les tempos sont originaux et permettent de mettre en lumière tous les détails de la partition sans perdre en narrativité et sans grossir le trait (ici pas d'excès de sentimentalité ni de démonstration orchestrale trop appuyée) ! Merci WDR de nous gratifier de ces collaborations entre le maestro Bychkov et son magnifique WDR !

[@philthefox1948]

Bien dit. C'est une des meilleures versions sur YT. Remarque : le premier violon solo, Elise Batnes, est actuellement premier violon au Oslo Philharmonic. Voir l'extraordinaire Heldenleben au Royal Albert Hall dirigé par Makela aux Proms 2022. Vous m'en direz des nouvelles 😊 Bien à vous

My standing ovation! The camera crew followed the musical narration effectively, capturing many stunning close-ups of the WDR musicians. For instance, at 1:06, the high-pitch E-flat clarinet first introduces us to Till the jester. As the musical narration progresses, we “see” the trickster’s adventure, playing cruel pranks on innocent folks. Notice Semyon Bychko’s facial expressions and hand gestures (see one example starting at 8:30): they seem to reflect Till’s flippant, devil-may-care attitude quite well. Of course, Till’s mischief leads him to his “trial for blasphemy” (quoting Strauss’s score notations) and death sentence. The snare drum rolls (at 12:26) announce his execution by hanging. At this moment, the E-flat clarinet reappears for Till’s final defiant squeal (at 13:15). And as Till “dangles, the breath leaves his body; the last convulsion, and Till’s mortal self is finished” (quoting Strauss’s notations as translated by Norman Del Mar). All these and more are rendered dramatically in this performance. An impressive audio and visual treat!. Hats off to the WDR orchestra’s horn section, the trombones, the four (if I count correctly) clarinets! Not to mention the other players. Their virtuosity is shown and heard! Just one particularly outstanding example (among many others) is the concertmaster at 5:00. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you very much for your kind words! 🥰

[@jamesfoster866]

I have watched this many times with sheer delight. The orchestra is fabulous and the conductor quite brilliant. I think he could conduct effectively using his facial expressions. Many, many thanks

[@jessechavez2894]

The rhythm starting at 12:06 is just so tight as an ensemble. Impressive!

[@johnturley8621]

Here is one piece I don't have in my collection that I've missed since childhood. Normally I kinda shy away from 20th-century music, but this is a rare exception. Glad to have access to it here. Thank you again, WDR! JAT

It wasn't until I read a book (on the instruments of the orchestra) YEARS ago as a young man - that I realised: that famous little oft-recurring run is played on a FRENCH HORN (not a trombone as I had thought) ... and that trickster "trill" (his impudent and defiant laughter - or something even eud

[@dietmarhoffner2997]

So muss das gespielt werden. Die Musik braucht Platz, um den Humor zu entfalten. Das Orchester ist sehr gut einstudiert. Eigentlich ist die richtige Interpretation in der Partitur klar vorgezeichnet. Die meisten Aufnahmen huschen aber über die Details hinweg.
