Stage@Seven: Prokofiev: Symphony No. 1 (»Symphonie classique«) - Alondra de la Parra

Sehr kompetent dirigiert und eine junge Frau! Endlich….. Tolle Orchester, fantastische symphonie …. Ein Genuss ….

It's a joy to see these videos of orchestral performances by the Frankfurt RSO. They are well recorded and the video production is excellent. Frankly, I find the critical remarks regarding the acoustics, the conducting, the spacing of the musicians, the tempi being too relaxed, etc., etc., to be churlish. Folks, a reminder: these videos are free. Hats off to the Frankfurt RSO for making them available. They are a welcome relief from the hardships caused by the COVID pandemic.

[@davidjared3402]

I agree, @allegro brio. Very generous of Frankfurt RSO for providing these. What is the concertmeister's name? I've heard of the maestra and the lead flautist, but I don't know the concertmeister's name. He's excellent, IMO (love his leadership on Shostakovich's 7th with Klaus Makela).

Alright taking a break from the character, I just wanna say that this was the most expressive conducing of Prokofiev and I love it!

[@dipster381]

Whole heartily agree!

[@notaire2]

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser pseudoklassischen doch perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und fast himmlisch. Die geniale Dirigentin leitet das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Orchester im rhythmischen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@rosshart9514]

Einmalig, Ihre Kommentare! Echt!

[@cesarmartin3324]

Maravillosa interpretación de esta hermosa sinfonia. Alondra brillante

[@juliaromero7512]

This is my first time listening to Prokofiev symphony no 1 and I think this is officially my favourite. It's very light-hearted and uplifting. I wish Prokofiev composed it longer. 💛

[@DByers-ci5kr]

Its sparkling, spritely character is what makes it so charming. Why toy with perfection? [So you don't think I'm advertising carbonated beverages, a sprite is a playful little fairy. Not a big, tedious or overwhelming being.]

[@rokubo75]

Alle gemeinsam und jeder für sich perfekt und heiter. Vielen Dank für diese herzerfrischende Aufnahme!

They take slower tempos than many. I love the sense of orderliness and structure this engenders!

[@Metasisic]

I've always been a fan of this symphony, particularly the first movement. Thank you for posting this wonderful orchestral visual.

[@katrinkabootsman]

I LOVE her expressive conducting! Inspiring to players and audience! Lovely presentation by the orchestra!!!

This is one of Prokofiev’s most elusive pieces and it needs to be performed more often 💯

I remember her as conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra years ago? She was an absolute delight to watch !!!

[@danieljoseph2015]

(from Maryland) A very fine and illuminating performance. I can't be the only person who has appreciated being able to hear the winds (and even the tympani) so much better with the reduced orchestra size. Particularly given that Prokofiev was deliberately referring to the classical era, the reduced orchestral size is entirely appropriate.

[@kylefreeman4581]

No, you weren't the only person to notice that. I don't think I've ever heard the inner voices so clearly rendered as they were in this performance. Whether or not it was the "social distancing" or the musicality of the performers that helped create this clarity doesn't really matter. It was a joy to listen to.

[@briancrowle6290]

Absolutely. Prokofiev's counterpoint is brilliant, and it's a joy to hear it so clearly from these talented musicians. I think the recording engineers deserve some credit too for the crystal clear quality of the sound, and well chosen video selection. Bravo, and thanks to all for this super video.

[@davidkuder4356]

Really great comment. Totally agree 👍💯

[@davidkuder4356]

This is SO Perfect. I re-view & listen it, again and again. The camera work alone, grand enough .. 🎉. But the whole Thing . .. Sonic virtuosity, Best of Best of Frankfurt SO Personnel... 🎉🎉🎉.

[@rattywoof5259]

This is Prokofiev's tribute to the classical composers of the 18th century. In fact the 4th movement is a perfect example of the structure known as 'sonata form' and was used as such by Bernstein back in the 60s in one of his wonderful children's music education programmes. I've never forgotten that!

Have the sound directors thought about putting some kind of sound screens in the hall? It's sounds really like in a church acousticswise and doesn't help the music. Unless this is left like this on purpose.

[@ailtonfreire3351]

Ótimo.

[@jurrich]

This is a beautiful piece, and all gratitude to the orchestra, but as a note to the recording technicians: the stereo separation is *way* too strong. Both ears would be hearing the string section or clarinet in person, not one in the left ear, one in the right, with barely any crossover. It makes this very weird to listen to with headphones.

[@driesanalog4187]

For the sound quality this "corona orchestra setup" maybe quite ok - more air between the performers.

[@rosshart9514]

I love this piece. But with all performances I've watched so far there is always one thing that is wrong for me: the gaps between the movements are way too long. It is one piece of meat, not four schnitzels.
