It’s official: Orozco-Estrada is a superstar. With this orchestra, the sky is the limit.

[@johannsobieski2661]

Then your sky is quite deep

[@RevMikeBlack]

I have been impressed by everything I have seen Andrés Orozco-Estrada do in Frankfurt. This performance is no exception. His Strauss is world-class. I wish him well as he continues to grow as a conductor.

[@fransmeeus9339]

Andrés Orozco-Estrada is indeed a highly acclaimed conductor known for his exceptional performances. While I don't have access to specific information about his performances in Frankfurt or any recent events, I can agree that his interpretation of Richard Strauss's music has garnered praise worldwide. As a conductor, Orozco-Estrada has demonstrated his talent and artistry through his ability to bring out the nuances and emotions of the music he conducts. His dedication and continuous growth as a conductor have contributed to his success and the positive reception of his performances. It's wonderful to hear that you have been impressed by his work, and I join you in wishing him continued success and growth in his career as a conductor.

[@briananderson8428]

So nicely said. He indeed is part of the new continuum of beloved conductors of these magical sounds we call classical music.

[@yannanshen9217]

Andres' best perforamance so far was his conducting Dvořák's "From the New World" back in 2019 in Frankfurt. This particular rendition was truly world class, second to none in the past 20 years or so. He is one of the very best active conductors today.

[@lyon7517]

C'est une magnifique interprétation, toute en rigueur et en poésie, grâce à un superbe orchestre, tout particulièrement le premier violon, et un excellent chef d'orchestre. Merci et bravo !

[@theingabo212]

My god, I'd been missing him a lot! It's great to see maestro conducting this orchestra again. Looking forward for more performances.

[@aermsche]

You are not alone. I´ve missed him too.

[@SpaceCadetSmurf]

i've been quite sad ever since he departed the Houston Symphony a few months back. his presence on the stage was perfection.

[@michalnowacki9252]

The incipit of this piece is just so powerful it's hard to express by words. Imagine sitting on the balcony of a chalet in the mountains watching the sun's magnificence slowly reveal itself before you, finally ending in a majestic triumph of light and solace.

Magnificent! One of the greatest classical pieces of all time.

[@algo3766]

Il y a bien longtemps, m'étant lancé dans la lecture du poème philosophique de Nietzsche, je compris assez vite que je n'y trouverai aucune réponse au sens du bien et du mal. De toutes façons j'ai abandonné la compréhension au fil des pages, me concentrant uniquement sur la lecture pure et simple, et curieusement j'y ai trouvé un certain plaisir.... Arriva le jour où je découvris cette magnifique oeuvre de Richard Strauss ... et ce fût avec bonheur que je compris que la musique exprimait beaucoup plus clairement les sentiments, les peurs, les joies, l'extase quelque fois, que les écrits. Et cette magnifique interprétation me le confirme, bravo au chef et à cet orchestre que j'apprécie tant. Als ich vor langer Zeit begann, Nietzsches philosophisches Gedicht zu lesen, wurde mir ziemlich schnell klar, dass ich keine Antwort auf die Bedeutung von Gut und Böse finden würde. Auf jeden Fall gab ich beim Lesen der Seiten das Verstehen auf und konzentrierte mich ausschließlich auf das reine und einfache Lesen, und seltsamerweise verspürte ich eine gewisse Freude daran ... Es kam der Tag, an dem ich dieses großartige Werk von Richard Strauss entdeckte ... und Mit Freude verstand ich, dass Musik Gefühle, Ängste, Freuden und manchmal auch Ekstase viel klarer ausdrückt als das Schreiben. Und diese großartige Interpretation bestätigt es mir, Glückwunsch an den Dirigenten und an dieses Orchester, das ich so sehr schätze.

[@yohannesephrem9096]

from 2:59-5-5:50 oh ....oh....what can I say that fits its majesty and beauty. The orchestration in this segment is the most subtle and etherical.

[@jacobsolis4185]

It’s incredible. Extremely well done by the orchestra, a joy to listen to

[@olliemartinelli4034]

Love how as it builds the harmonies seem to slowly settle into a more standard chord progression. With the high strings it’s a gigantic emotional release. So so clever.

[@yohannesephrem9096]

Strauss is a master in creating suc a powerful emotions with strings, perhaps he is unrivalled in this. The slow progression to more Etherical sphere is painful to listen in a good way.

[@kunsuker]

Amazing! I have never listened to such a lively Strauss.

[@bryangl1]

This is the work that that prompted a hundred film scores (the rest were prompted by Korngold) - well, perhaps there were others. But here we have possibly the best performance of Zarathustra available. Orozco-Estrada made an unfortunate decision when he left for Houston, as that didn't work out, for reasons I don't know. And now we are hearing some of his greatest performances back with the orchestra he had made his own, but on what basis -- another unknown, guest conductor perhaps? His successor seems to be excellent, so the Administrators of the orchestra appear to be in a difficult position. All I can say is that Orozco-Estrada is back where he belongs, and in these "guest-conductor" performances showing he has still more to give. If I haven't made it clear, this performance one 'out of the box' Historically, some critics have tended to dismiss this work, claiming it to be derivative and structurally weak. If ever there was a performance to show any such critics just how much any such criticisms were wrong, this is it. While it may not be Strauss's greatest work (I'm not prepared to enter that arena) the synergy between conductor and orchestra make this performance up among the best available. And congratulations on the very high standards in both audio and video engineering and production. If I have a quibble at all, it's that the importance of hearing the duration of the applause isn't realized. A quibble perhaps, but in a way, it's part of the performance.

[@bryangl1]

@Chlorinda Thank you for the corrections and updates. I realized that I was making some assumptions, (although, in part, with validation), and your information is welcome. I agree with your thoughts about conductors moving on after 8 years or so, although I'm torn when applying that here.

Versione potentissima dell'intro.

[@ElbertBesaris]

Isn't the organ tuned differently than the orchestra, as you can hear in the Einleitung? I'm not a musician, so can anyone tell me if that is a mistake or just something that is unavoidable in concert halls like these?

[@sarahmittermair]

It certainly is and I think it shouldn't be. At least I have never heard it like this. My guess is that the organ is tuned at 440 hz while the orchestra is tuned at 442. 🤔

[@hindemith1922]

Probably 443 hz

[@normieshields389]

Well the organ certainly is what it is, but low notes with a rich overtone series seem to have a broader, more forgiving footprint with regards to pitch, compared to a piccolo for example. Honestly if these comments had not pointed this out, I never would have noticed it. Kind of like an inclusion in an otherwise stunning diamond. Many recordings of popular songs have bass lines that sound out-of-tune, but most likely this is a hearing phenomenon, and was not recorded that way.

[@jaoyongtsai]

@Firebird 37 In a lot of recordings, the organ isrecorded separately from the orchestra, and it is difficult to ensure that an orchestra tunes exactly to an organ that is not physically present. Very few (if any) studios have full size organs...

[@ui3138]

I was in the concert, and i can assure you that the organ was definately tuned lower than the orchestra. Afaik HR tunes at 443 and the Organ prolly at 440
