Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 3 in D major, Op. 29 (Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Valery Gergiev)

[@davidburton3016]

Hands down the best performance of this work I've ever heard. Best

[@michaeljefferson9992]

Once again the Russian musicians teach the world how to interpret and express the great Tchaikovsky's most majestic work. Correct tempi, no muffed sectionals, perfect solos. All the other performances of this Symphony that I have heard were, at best, 4 out of 10, This one is 9.5 out of 10. Why? Phrasing, tone, non -stop attention to detail and love for the music, Thank you Maestro Valery and fellow virtuousi.

This is the Tchaikovsky symphony that has been a bit more neglected than the others. Unfairly so! It's a great symphony as are all the Tchaikovsky's symphonies each in their own distinctive way. Great performance here!

[@geoninofernandes7054]

at the premier of this symphony the crowd and critics were positive, the first and only time one of his symphonies were treated this way- he felt great and had a special place for this symphony, never thought of revising this. His turning point and without this the works that follow would not be as awesome as they are !

One of my favorite works by this musical genius, Tchaikovsky. I have an old cassette tape with this symphony and his 2nd, the "Russian" symphony and I must have listened to it 1000 times! This symphony is called the "Polish" symphony. Excellent performance!

[@borisbrinkmann]

One of my favorites, too. 😊 - The 2nd isnt't called the "Russian" but the "Little Russian" what means the "Ukrainian"! "Little Russia" was a 19th century-term for the Ukraine.

Other conductors and other orchestras often turn in fine performances of this symphony; still I believe that Maestro Gergiev and the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra bring an indefinable quality to their performance that elevates this recording to a height that others simply cannot achieve.

[@hrh4961]

For those wondering why this symphony has a "name," here's a bit from Wikipedia: "Its first performance in the United Kingdom was at the Crystal Palace in 1899, conducted by Sir August Manns, who seems to have been the first to refer to it as the "Polish Symphony", in reference to the recurring Polish dance rhythms prominent in the symphony's final movement." (Tempo di Polacca in the score) "Several musicologists, including David Brown and Francis Maes, consider this name a faux pas. Western listeners, conditioned by Chopin's use of the polonaise as a symbol of Polish independence, interpreted Tchaikovsky's use of the same dance likewise; actually, in Tsarist Russia it was musical code for the Romanov dynasty and, by extension, Russian imperialism."

[@yp3424]

That's 100% right. In an old Deutsche Gr. recording from the early 70's was also referred as "Polish" symphony. Several biographers claim that P.I. Tchaikovsky's great-grandfather came to Russia from Poland in the early 1700's. As for the maternal grandpa, he was a french nobleman, the baron André d' Assier.

[@BytomGirl]

I love this symphony ever since I watched ballet Diamonds set to it, the combination is perfect. The best version of this ballet is danced at Mariinsky

[@hrh4961]

Some years ago, we spent part of the summer in London, and the Mariinsky opera and ballet were visiting. We attended quite a few ballets and found the native Russian ballets (Petroushka, Sleeping Beauty, for example) to be spectacular., Jewels was the only ballet for which we had tickets for two performances, as I thought it would be out of this world. We were a little disappointed. Being familiar with Balanchine and his NYC Ballet and their long tradition of Mr B's style of choreography, we found the Mariinsky to be somewhat lacking. I equated it with listening to someone speaking a non-native tongue, but doing it very well. More recently, the Royal Opera and Ballet Covent Garden in London have had coaching from senior Balanchine dancers and are doing it about as well as one could hope to experience.

[@BytomGirl]

@@hrh4961 Well, than you should see Lopatkina and Tsiskaridze in Diamonds, they were amazing at Mariinsky as well as Tsiskaridze and Nioradze in Rubies, fantastic. It all depends on dancers, some are better than others. I tend not to be impressed by RB, their performances often lack expression and seem cold

If i can forget the stupidly tragic war in Ukraine that putin started, and that has put such a dark shroud over the whole region, and all the people; .. Russia has such a glorious musical and dance culture historically. As a low brass player, nobody compares to the Russian composers. And i love this conductor! He is just the best. When i want to see how a piece is really meant to be performed, I look for the youtubes from Russia. Russia will survive this very, very dark chapter and over time continue to find a way to create amazing dance, music, art into the future. History is full of petty dictators who rise and fall, but what endures is the great creators and performers of stupendous artistic works such as this.

Superb performance..why isn't this 3rd symphony played more?

[@borisbrinkmann]

Because it's the only one in a major key (except the unfinished 7th) and that doesn't fit to the concert establishment's clischée-idea of Tchaikovsky and of a Russian symphony.

[@user-no3wg7mt2d]

Because played this good is very difficult for orkestra. Usually this scherzo sounds like a lego set in disassembly.

[@hrh4961]

This symphony lacks the strong, dramatic profile of the other symphonies. Yes, being in a major key likely contributes to that. There is more "sun" here than the others combined. Still, a lovely part of PIT's symphonic lexicon.

Ни одна другая симфония Чайковского не говорит столько о самой России, а не о терзаниях-метаниях конкретного человека по фамилии Чайковский. От финального полонеза (от которого симфония и получила название "Польской" - впрочем, лишь на Западе) захватывает дух, особенно от его помпезнейшей, сверхблестящей коды. Разумеется, это не польский, а русский имперский полонез. Россия ассимилировала парадный танец завоеванных - подобно тому как польские ордена Белого Орла и Станислава стали орденами Российской империи.

Not an analysis at all. Tchaikovsky was professor of counterpoint, which shows in his orchestration, his use of baroque structure in many places. The sublime use of pedal point in the fourth movement is sublime. As with the first piano concerto which, in the edited version, we have now, eschews so called classical structure having the main theme stated alternately by instrument and orchestra then, instead of repeats, we get tindal answers and variations. In this symphony we get all those skills, the use of counterpoint and stretto to create a sometimes overwhelming structure. It sometimes sounds mozartian because Tchaikovsky admired mozart and, of course, mozart cut his teeth among late baroque composers who didn't just cease to exist in 1750.
