Ярчайший пример того, как народная песня в руках музыкантов высочайшего класса - композитора, дирижера и исполнителей - может стать основой, центром классического произведения. Великолепна финальная часть. Ну и изюминкой, добавлением к симфонии №2 было исполнение оркестром фрагмента из балета Щелкунчик. Таким стремительным танцем Трепак выходит только у Гергиева)) БРАВО!

[@johngough2958]

A couple of days ago I simple melody started playing and replaying in my head. A tune I knew I'd heard before - it took some time to realize it was from a Tchaikovsky symphony and getting my old records out, that it was from the finale of the 2nd symphony. Culminating in listening to this version! Mr. Gergiev, please keep creating and ignore the fact that, at the moment, so many in the West are only good at cancelling culture.

Correct. The beauty of the creations of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, etc. should have given us respect for and peace with Russia. Instead, the warmongers and military-industrial complex profited, and hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have died for nothing.

Desde que escuché esta sinfonía voy caminando en la calle o realizando mis quehaceres y se repiten ciertas melodías como regalo ,suenan desde alguna parte de mi subconciente,suenan dulces, tranquilizadoras ,disruptivas, me dejan con ganas de volver al reproducir el video ,me recuerdan que todo está bien ,gracias Tchaikovski

Wonderful players but they're not always quite together. Lack of rehearsal time?

[@DanielFBest]

[@jacobfreeland6881]

There’s something about this symphony and nobody being able to make a recording of it that’s quite right. I don’t understand, because it’s not a difficult work. Yes, timing is off in places; personally, I’m content that the intonation is consistently decent.

[@rogerackert6573]

Well played. Tchaikovsky's shortest symphony. Much more pleasant to listen to than to play from the woodwind standpoint. Can't say much for the camera work so I won't. Hope the lighting was better on the music than was on the players. Why are the performers not listed on the credits at the end? Without them there wouldn't be a performance.

[@manueljoseblancamolinos8582]

This is the second version. The first versión is longer especially the first movement.

[@manueljoseblancamolinos8582]

It is curious but in this second version there are passages (the initial allegro) and the sherzo that recall Beethoven

[@felipeeduardodelarosabocan5655]

​@@manueljoseblancamolinos8582 sometimes I prefer the first version. The first subject of the original version of the first movement becomes here the second subject.

[@manueljoseblancamolinos8582]

@@felipeeduardodelarosabocan5655 Efectivamente así es. El primer movimiento en su versión original es una imponente pieza. En cambio a Tchaikovsky le pareció unos años después que la complejidad del movimiento era insoportable e introdujo, en muy poco tiempo, las modificaciones que dejaron este movimiento tal y como ahora se interpreta. Es curioso que cuando Tchaikovsky compuso esta sinfonía en 1872 le pareciera su mejor obra hasta entonces y que en 1879 calificara al primer movimiento como insoportable hasta el punto de escribir otra versión aunque esta segunda versión es más bien una simplificación del movimiento original con muy poco material nuevo (por eso Tchaikovsky pudo hacer las modificaciones tan rápido).

[@edifyguy]

@@manueljoseblancamolinos8582 I didn't know the first version survived! I knew Tchaikovsky was dissatisfied with the first version, and heavily revised it, but I thought he attempted to destroy all copies of the first version. Apparently he didn't succeed. I'd be interested to compare the two.

Your joking , in many cases that's exactly the point. He could have a concert in the morning , say in Turkey, and at the night of the same day - in Israel ( or even in Japan). But specifically in this record the tempo isn't that fast - I think it's more about Russian borderless spirit , foreigners don't always get.

[@JohannesLauckner]

In context of the recent events in Ukraine it might be interesting to know that the title "Little Russian" was NOT by Tchaikovsky but the Russian critic Nicholas Kashkin and it was at that time seemingly a demeaning name for the Ukraine regions that had come under Tsarist domination. Maybe it is time to stop using this term? If you need a subtitle you could well use "Ukrainian" instead. This would meake sense as the theme in the last movement is from the Ukrainian folk song "The crane".

[@himatstosh6236]

That's right! From now on we will also call it "Ukraine"!

[@kostyakonstantinoff]

In the context of all events, Ukraine during Tchaikovsky’s life was part of Russia. Tchaikovsky himself uses the term Little Russia in his day books. So please don't mislead people. In 2014, with the support of the West, a criminal, neonazi regime came to power in Ukraine. Since then they have been trying to destroy everything Russian (monuments, books), but history cannot be fooled. Art will win.

[@dlineful]

Not true, some Ukranians now started to believe this, but this is more because of Galician myths taking over the whole nation. The term "littler rossia" comes from Constantinople and was used to denote a church eparchy, which was smaller than the rest of the divided Rus. It then was adopted by the elites - the first "Ukranians" constitution of Philip Orlik proudly calls the land "Little Rossia".

[@Monter-h4g]

Окраина. Именно так звучит Украина по нашему.

[@Bob31415]

Terrible camera work. We don't need to see the molecular structure of the players and their instruments. Ever heard of wide angle shots? The music and orchestra are spectacular.

[@windstorm1000]

Glad conductor got rid of toothpick baton and shaved for a change. Still don't care for nervous hand conducting. Unnecessary.

[@hrh4961]

As Gergiev did with the First Symphony in this series, why the encore immediately after the ending of the symphony? Most unwelcome.

[@jwinder2]

The video definitely cuts a couple minutes of applause, since it is rhythmic right before they start the encore, which only happens after a few exits and reentrances of the conductor.
