Schönberg - Pelleas and Melisande, Op. 5 (Claudio Abbado & Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra)

[@beautifulw999]

Abbado was a genius. A true prince, irreplaceable

[@kazmcokogullu9945]

beautiful young artists came together under the guidence of one of the best conductors of our time. Youth energy and pureness come together with old and wise. Schoenberg would be so happy if he could have listened to this

[@lionelthiebaud7081]

Quelle est l'année de ce merveilleux concert sous la direction de sublime Claudio Abbado

[@EpikPataTo]

Just discovered this recently....indescribably moving...finale takes away my breath and tears flow!

[@bateriaeletronica]

This is the best and most emotional version of this song.

[@Yannoux3000]

I really appreciate that the production highlighted the themes and their meaning in the program. Pelleas is such the perfect musical subject... Great great piece

[@bkkershner]

The playing is simply beyond belief, and at that age...Must have been life-changing to play it with Claudio Abbado.

[@angelosilva4051]

Grande capolavoro di Schonberg strepitosi orchestra e direttore.

[@matthewwarren1189]

18:20 the love and farewell scene is so heartbreakingly beautiful

[@zcde345]

Incredible playing from this magnificent youth orchestra! Maestro Abbado in top form.

[@ingamoss-jones6838]

Beauty and romance well played by young people

[@bateriaeletronica]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[@badhairdye]

Unfortunately, it isn't a song. It's a piece, specifically a tone poem, in this case a piece of programme music. Not that it isn't songful! It's more motivic perhaps than melodious. Just some observations. It's good to find someone who at least appreciates it.

[@MGHTYPIETYOSRS]

Magnifico

[@alanmofticomposer]

This is genuinely mind-blowing.

[@vaughanosgan2623]

Superb presentation

[@lorenzoalessi8953]

Grande Abbado per questi meravigliosi giovani

[@isabelhuszka1321]

Szép volt, köszönöm!

[@64214Jose]

Maravillosa obra maestra excelentemente interpretada. Genial. Mi versión favorita, por cierto.

[@kwiingina4375]

He literally make a story through opera amazing👌

[@badhairdye]

Maeterlinclk's Pelleas et Melisande is a drama, set to music by amongst others Debussy. Schoenberg created a tone poem from the original drama -- a piece of programme music.

[@borisbrinkmann]

Bester Fin de siecle-Dirigent.

[@afbf6522]

Quin poema tan intrigant. Schönberg va posar-se el barret impressionista, i tant.

[@AlamannoCapecchi]

Magnifico.

[@benjaminsim5233]

The very same hall which the piece was premiered in 1905

[@anonym0usplatypus]

These young musicians understand Schoenberg so well

[@alessandrolombardi5339]

he had an incredible memory

[@georgeholloway3981]

Why is the audience so subdued at the end? That was simply out of this world! Do they know what they just witnessed?!

[@paulybarr]

Sometimes people are struck dumb with admiration. It can also mean that they are so involved with the music, especially such a tragic piece as this, that they don't want to break the spell immediately- it can feel uncouth. Did you not listen to how the applause grows to cheering and foot stopping after 30 seconds?

[@badhairdye]

Of course they did. That's why they weren't deirious with applause. It's not Phantom of the Opera. It was a powerfully emotional wallop. As a mode of witness: in classical performances, typically -- I say typically -- the audience waits for a sign from the conductor that the piece is over and the emotional bond between him and the orchestra can be broken. He will often simply lowers his hands or put the baton at his side, or nod his head. Then the audience may break loose. Mahler asked for silence of five minutes after the first movement of the Resurrection Symphony. Afte the first act of Parsifal, there is typically no applause at all.

[@virtualpilgrim8645]

Claudio Abbado died after this at the age of 80

[@retf054ewte3]

conducting Schonberg from memory is not everybody's job.

[@juanadrianarquinegogomez3610]

13:18 this makes my life easier

[@nicolasbruant1312]

22,55mn ?

[@muslit]

Bernard Herrmann must have been aware of this work. I'm thinking of 'Vertigo'.

[@andreapandypetrapan]

Bang on the money. BH was a keen student, and unashamed borrower.

[@aldobadiani5760]

Vertigo soundtrack is also reminiscent of Verklärte Nacht

[@muslit]

@@aldobadiani5760 I also hear Tristan und Isolde.

[@muslit]

@@andreapandypetrapan One must not forget 'Marnie'.

[@Altonahh10]

I only wish Schönberg had done the opera instead of Debussy whose version always makes me fall asleep after 15 minutes ;-)

[@edwardtodd9734]

Once I didn't fall asleep, them I realised that on the previous occasions when I did, I hadn't missed anything

[@nicholasmorgan8881]

Have grown to appreciate the Schoenberg... in many performances it can sound very muddy, but not in this video - fabulous. But I do LOVE the Debussy... always makes me cry...

[@nojin57]

Claudio Abbado의 생생한 지휘모습을 볼 수 없음이 너무 안타깝다. 고인의 평안한 안식을 기원한다.

[@docbailey3265]

This is way way way more interesting than the Debussy and Faure versions, except for the Sicilliene which is pretty perfect.

[@yusukeundisolde]

恵まれた環境だな。

Spa music 🎶

[@diegobuitragocamargo.7525]

Classical music is more than that :)

[@jazzsmells9341]

Diese Musik ist unglaublich einfallsreich und komplex - soetwas zu performen ist bewundernswert

[@倉科徹-k5m]

アバドがアグレッシブな指揮で若いオーケストラを鼓舞してます。若い奏者の挑戦として燃焼の演奏です。

[@nathanhol42001]

FOUR harps?!

[@bryangl1]

First impressions. The music is intriguing rather than captivating. Whilst I sense an underlying structure, the immediate impression is of an episodic nature more like a movie score than a work for concert hall. And while the musical language is more easily approachable than much of the composer's later work it still lacks beauty of tone ─ the different sections of the orchestra don't seem to blend (not due to the players, they are superb, but due somehow to the orchestration). Of course, beauty is in the ear of the beholder! One person's view, but it's interesting to note that the work is far from being a concert repertoire staple.

[@ameliawright6947]

Keep in mind that this is Schoenberg's fifth piece written and the first for a large orchestra. Its also a tone-poem; its supposed to shift along episodically. Each movement is a scene.

[@badhairdye]

Huh? Who are you? Who cares? Beauty of tone? Movie score! Good God! Save us from You Tubbies! Whilst you sense! Whilst you sense! No wonder Wolf ended up in a madhouse -- he was anticipating You Tube and the 21st century. And so you measure the worth of a piece of music by how much of a 'staple' it is. Aren't you original and thought-provoking. You must be very glad you're you. Well, ignorance proliferates while knowledge watches and worries.

[@Dieubussy]

Oeuvre somptueuse, magique, débordante de musique mais Schoenberg a dû jeter son porte-plume à l'autre bout de la pièce quand il a su que Debussy était déjà passé par là.

[@alleespach]

Et puis aussi Jean Sibelius et Gabriel Fauré !

[@albertoaguiardacruz7047]

PELLÉAS ET MELISANDE DE DEBUSSY, NÃO É UMA ÓPERA NO SENTIDO VERDADEIRO, É UMA DETURPAÇÃO DE ÓPERA QUE DEBUSSY INFELIZMENTE CRIOU. SUA MELODIA É POBRE, SUA HARMONIA NÃO TEM GENUÍNO NEXO. BASTA LER A BIOGRAFIA DE DEBUSSY, ONDE NOS INFORMAMOS QUE ÊLE FOI REPROVADO EM HARMONIA NO CONSERVATÓRIO DE PARIS. É PRECISO DIZER MAIS?

[@christianalejo7655]

I don't think there was a single person of color in that room. Good music though.

[@nathanhol42001]

I don’t think there are very many people of color in Vienna

[@christianalejo7655]

Nathan Hollis True 😅

[@robinblankenship9234]

Christian Alejo The only real people who are not "of color" are albinos. There are multitudes of events online at which "white" people are not seen. What is your point? If people "of color" were interested, they could take up the music of Western Civilization and, I'm sure, excel at it. It DOES happen, btw. Awadagin Pratt, of Ghanian ancestry and definitely a man "of color" happens to be one of the best classical pianists alive. Beethoven had a "swarthy" look and has been speculated as perhaps having some African ancestry. If skin color is so important to you, you are not very much into the music.

[@leocadieux6781]

Let’s boycott classical music then 🙄

[@dergeradeweg1413]

Shut up

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Gee., more interested in the beautiful horn player in an early shot, than the dreary music which follows.
