Tchaikovsky 6th symphony-Bernstein 4/4

[@harinagarajan2296]

I think Bernstein was the last of the "Great Conductors". Just listen to how this orchestra plays. The phrasing... After listening to classical music for the past 40 years to my mind others who did this were Toscanini, Furtwangler, Walter, Monteux, Beecham and perhaps Szell (what magnificent Hayden symphonies)

[@paganviodio]

This Orcestra will remain a legend...This sound of the Strings, wood and brass...just Amazing. I believe with Bernstein and New York Philarmonic this is the greatest Version of the Pathetique Symphony.

I was raised on this album. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

[@frederikbeelen5247]

How the end sounds and how Bernstein describes it traumatized me. He said, "And almost the last sounds you hear in this symphony are the dying echoes of the descending scale."

[@thatgerm6117]

Had tears in my eyes throughout the movement. Magnificent conducting; just so full of emotional intensity it's on the threshold of breaking your heart without uttering a single word.

[@davidevans3227]

i love this music but it's so devastating.. being human is a very strange thing isn it 🙂 thankyou for sharing this x

[@blackwolfsr]

Brilliant piece of art. Also Bernstein is amazing...

[@arnoldsiebers7391]

words are not enough... superb

[@jsphotos]

Incredible! Sumptuous, and filled with emotion.

[@matteomaragna125]

Bernstein viveva ogni movimento, ogni battitura, ogni tempo delle opere che dirigeva. Era un gigante. E Tchaikovsky? Fu il più grande poeta mai esistito su questa terra, poiché con la musica ha fatto altro, oltre la musica, forse persino più in là dei sentimenti umani: ha toccato l'assoluto, il proibito e inconcepibile baratro del Nulla, che riposa indisturbato oltre l'estasi e il sublime.

Breathtaking

[@eamonjwadley]

New York Phil, yes thought so. He inspires musicians more than any I think. A lesson in conducting. Great stature, huge heart. I heard and saw him perform just weeks before he died - Mahler 5. A truly unforgettable experience.

[@Dan474834]

He was buried with a copy of Mahler's 5th lying across his heart.

That silence at the end is unbelievably deafening.

[@alkishadjinicolaou5831]

It's not silence. I think the bassoon (or contra bassoon) is playing in pppppp (double pianississmo)

[@dihydrogenmonoxide5994]

@@alkishadjinicolaou5831 Yes, I believe it’s a contrabassoon. If I’m not mistaken, the double basses play pizzicato notes in pppppp as well.

Bernstein was a wonderful musician and a wonderful man...

[@SarahJones-wy5us]

did you know him? wonderful musician yes , man ................not at all.

[@LiztheLark]

Then you knew him to make such an assessment of him as a man?

[@SarahJones-wy5us]

@@LiztheLark obviously ignoring the jibe at my comment, anyone who studied or knew Maestro Bernstein knew what a difficult and conflicted man he was,also what a phenomenal musician he was.

Tchaikovsky said there was a program to his Sixth Symphony but that he did not wish to reveal it. Whatever program it is that the first three movements communicate, this fourth movement seems to me like the foreboding and inevitability of the composer's death which occurred nine days after its premiere performance.

[@0532phillipjoy]

I like this - not too slow - I am not a fan of Bernstein who's speeds in slow movements, Mahler for example are too slow IMO and cause a strained sound in the strings. But this is very good.

[@lespook5966]

The longest performance of this movement lasted 17 minutes

[@Alitavakolisport]

Bernstein naild the piece, best performance of this piece

What orchestra is that?

[@NathanielRobinson]

김찬양 NY Philharmonic

[@AKoribut]

9:37 there is no high flute in the original score. Bernstein changed the orchestration or there are several versions of the score?

[@LJBSasha]

Neither any changes nor any high flutes: just the pungency of the oboes as part of the woodwinds.

[@Dan474834]

Yeah that's an oboe not a flute.

[@rmk2879]

Origins of music unevidenced. Except it is gift to humanity from God the Creator. Music continues in heaven. Discontinues in hell. Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth for one purpose only - to die on cross for remissions of pre-existing sins of every single person and to resurrect. Jesus Christ providing forgiveness from pre-existing sins for every single person, salvation from eternity in hell and free entry to eternity in heaven for all who repent of sins in Jesus Christ. Other side of death is eternity. Eternity in hell. Or eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. Penalty of pre-existing sins already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Be saved from eternal in hell. Enter heaven. Enjoy heavenly music. For free.

[@josepablo1514]

Berstein was never good at directing Tchaikovsky. Always changing tempos and making notes lasted more or less than score indicates. Tchaikovsky so huge for Berstein. Karajan did it so hugely better.

[@Bugleur]

Jose Pablo B. You can't understand...

[@apnaceejm2853]

This is the worst comment of a bernstein interpretation so far, bernstein's interpretations of Tchaikovsky were one of the best ones

[@bt10ant]

@@apnaceejm2853 Agreed....

[@dihydrogenmonoxide5994]

Jose Pablo B. - The score for a piece of music is like a blueprint for construction. In other words, It’s really only a set of instructions. What really matters is what you build using those instructions as a reference.

[@scarpiapiano]

Jose Pablo B. - I really can't agree. Karajan's interpretation is cold and aloof. Of course the Berlin Phil's sound is sumptuous especially under Karajan who was a master at bringing a luminous sound to everything he conducted. I just find Karajan's performance to be cold and emotionally detached. Bernstein was always intensely involved, sometimes overly indulgent. I find that his (Bernstein's) recording of the last movt. of this work at over 17 minutes to be too excessive. However, this performance is wonderful. This performance is devoid of all of the 20th century sensibilities which I think are antithetical to the late romantics and while Tchaikovsky isn't usually referred to as a "late romantic" this was his final work written 2 years after the Mahler 1st and more then 30 years after Tristan. It's also somewhat autobiographical, a symphony reflecting personal despair and hopelessness. Why should/would anyone put himself in a metronomic strait jacket when performing this symphony? Bernstein is uncompromisingly, emotionally committed to his interpretation. Do you really want to quibble about fluctuationing tempi??
