Tschaikowsky: 4. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Krzysztof Urbański

[@Rockisdead_Oficial]

A Brazilian listening an German Osquestra playing a Russian composer writing a commentary in English... There's a place without banners, without borders.. This place Is called MUSIC

[@madiko]

Greetings from Germany. I love your comment! This is globalisation from the humanist and most loveliest kind. Enjoy your day.

[@bryangl1]

Well, I'm an Australian (in Melbourne) and while I'm very proud of our orchestra, I think this orchestra is among the very best in the world. I wish I could hear them live, but thoroughly enjoy their very frequent KZbin postings (not only performed, but also recorded with the highest quality). I almost shudder to think that, when I was very young, our countries were at war. The foibles of humanity. Your comment is spot on.

[@tgv3000]

Oui, c'est vrai. Les hommes pourraient vivre en paix, s'ils le voulaient vraiment.

[@WoutDC]

You can say what you want about the interpretation, or, for example, the tempi, but the quality of orchestral playing here is simply magnificent!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The camera people are brilliant in following this music and all the instruments. I have seldom seen a consert better filmed than this. Bravo!

[@tedwilks]

Agreed! All too often the conductor, soloist(s), and orchestra members are praised, but the excellent work of the camera crew goes unacknowledged. Some other venues also have excellent camera crews - the Concertgebouw, for example. We take it so much for granted when watching many videos that it jolts us when excellent performances are captured with only one fixed camera, which all too often gives us a view of the conductor's back.

[@GustavPapillon]

Theo Plath (solo bassoon) is simply phenomenal!

[@Dylonely_9274]

One of the greatest symphonies ever composed.

[@Dylonely_9274]

A roller coaster of emotions !

[@Dylonely_9274]

And of course one of my favorites.

45:06 Brilliant reaction. Truly a special moment.

[@albertomorolopez3379]

Urbanski is one of my favorite conductores these days. The perfect combination of passion, rigour and charisma. And when I met him after an unforgettable Shostakovich 5 he was really kind! Stunning Tchaikovsky with one of Europe’s most wonderful orchestras!!!

Fantastic. I love the way he put down his arms during the final few bars of the finale and just watched, as if they didn't need him at that point.

Great work, but if you want me to click on every moment in this schedule I believe my total experience of this music is damaged. But if you want me to study every detail in this music you have a point.

[@Dylonely_9274]

Thanks.

[@MagicMusicBTG]

As a music learner, for me, this is precious. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ВладимирУ-т3ц]

Великолепное расписание!

[@FranzKaernBiederstedt]

Was für eine wunderbare Geste von Urbánski, den Solooboisten einzuladen, selber zu beginnen... Dies ist eine unglaublich tief empfundene, sehr differenzierte Interpretation dieser bewegenden Sinfonie! Ich weiß nicht, ob ich den Anfang des 9/8-Takt-Themas im ersten Takt jemals so langsam und scheu gehört habe. Wahnsinn, welche Steigerungen Urbánski da herausarbeitet! Die sehr flexible Tempodramaturgie im ersten Satz ist ungewohnt, aber absolut überzeugend und entwickelt eine sehr plastische Erzählung.

[@bobcochran2890]

Actually that’s pretty standard. Similar to Scheherazade mvt 2 bassoon and many others.

[@paulmelidona5552]

Truly electrifying! This Orchestra is becoming one of my favorite performing groups. All is so clear and precise. Bravo!

[@petros7929]

[@FabianOber]

Great style of conducting in the end, beautiful!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I agree, but still I find a little bit of a posing manner in his conducting.

[@AmelianaTSIIX]

Fantastic, and points to the cameraman.

[@notarbolz926]

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit farbenreichen und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der erste Satz klingt besonders dramatisch und ergreifend. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz besonders verspielt. Der kluge Dirigent leitet das erfahrene hr-Sinfonieorchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit recht effektiver Dynamik und Agogik. Danke fürs Onlinestellen!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Great that we can follow the ovations after this fantastic consert, celebrating all musicians!

[@yp3424]

If Tchaikovsky's intention was to "transmit" joy in the finale by orchestrating the popular song "Я иду, иду погуляю" then, he made it. The contrabass player seems happy, smiling at 39:13". Eloquent performance.

[@cerberocaronte7439]

Fantastico Urbanski,bravi. tutti.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

During, but mostly after his catastrophic and short marriage to Antonia Milyukova Tschaikowsky wrote this music. It tells us about destiny, dreams, longings, but also about sorrow and a hopeless situation. We dont need to know his biography to love this music, but maybe it helps us a little bit. Wonderful playing from hr-Sinfonieorchester under Krzysztof Urbanski!

[@eelswamp]

Great to see the 10 minute applause left in. What a stunning performance.

[@IdAdvancedmonkey]

wow. brilliant.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt beweglich und auch erfreulich. Endlich kommt der letzte Satz voller Bewegung und Leidenschaft. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@h-mh93]

Die Ovationen sind absolut verdient! Was für eine tolle Darbietung!

[@henriks.hansen7780]

Fremragende opførsels af symfonien- Urbanski formår at få temaer og motiver i instrumentgrupperne frem i klangfarne og samspil. Det dynamiske udstryk og tempigiven musikken en sjældenhørt dybde. Fremragende.

[@Dylonely_9274]

Masterpiece of music.

[@vanderleigodoi]

Incrível como alguns maestros famosos não conseguiam captar a beleza intrinseca das obras de Tchaikovsky. Essa interpretação é uma das melhores que já tive o prazer de ouvir. Os trechos em pizzicato estão de uma leveza e alegria contagiantes. Grato por compartilharem essa preciosidade!!

[@jamesgreisler9308]

Excellent performance of one of my very favorite symphonies. I really appreciated the clear dynamic contrast within each movement, something that is not always so clear to me in other performances. A good performance of this symphony should be nothing less than thrilling, and this performance delivers. Bravo!

[@shupingwang3392]

Krzysztof Urbański does very well here ! Not to speak of the orchestra, which is amazing. The conductor shows real affinity to this music with flexible tempi. This reminds me of a reading by Marek Janowski in Berlin 20 years ago. Janowski loved a brisk pace, maybe more forceful than Urbański.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

He has a very odd way of conducting. but I accept it, specially without sheet music. Like if he trust in the musicians, 100%, you can specially see it in the end.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

How many times have I already listened to this rendition? I dont know. Sometimes I think it is a symphonie for the bassoon, then for the oboe, then for the flute or for the clarinet. The only thing I know is that Tschaikowsky had a wonderful gift to lift up all the instruments in an orchestra in full sight. Something that the cameras in this uptaking fully understand. The result is splendid. Together with this wonderful orchestra and Krzysztof Urbanski this turns out to be the best interpretation of this 4:th Symphony I ever heard. Thank you all so much!

[@yh2682]

[@antoniettamistretta174]

Fantastico.! Grazie.

[@mswdesign9164]

I count myself as a Tchaik fan, but can find the 4th uniquely grating among his symphonies- frankly among anyone's symphonies. KU's legato-laden management of the first movement here is superb, sewing all the crescendos into a whole of natural momentum where the drama does not overwhelm the feeling that we have not yet reached the end. This manner is evident even among the soloists (14:10). Really, I can't think of another performance I've liked any better for making this music sound cohesive (and grim!). As usual, the hrSinf sounds fantastic.

[@acbardahut6126]

Très sensible interprétation ; le 1er mouvement, d'une souplesse & 'une fausse modération distillant l'angoisse,, est un régal. Après quoi le charme est installé, & tout est merveilleux, jusqu'à la fin.

My humble opinion is that studying to this music is a waste to the study, but most of all to the music.

And if you ask WHY? my answer is: this music needs full attention. You cannot study and listen at the same time.

[@АлександрМедюшко-т6к]

Фейерверк звука и инструментов.

[@bryangl1]

I can see how reactions could vary on some aspects of tempi - this would be one of the longer Tchai 4ths, at about 48min, with some at only 40 minutes, simply too fast. [At this point may I explain: We watch on a 9ft / 230cm screen in darkened room, with high quality multi-channel Dolby Atmos (simulated) audio (not bragging, just illustrating that we see/hear under close to optimum technical and psychological conditions) thrilled that we're able to sit back in a simulated concert-hall experience - as close as we can get to "being there"] Wow, having, apologetically, got that out of the way: At the first (mildly) unusual tempo I wondered, until it launched into the next section, and suddenly it made sense. And further on, similarly, throughout the work. By the conclusion, I found that, finally, we ere hearing a much more dramatic, yet much more expressive and more sensitive, 4th, elevating it up at least, to stand beside the reputation of the 5th, but not quite the artistic and creative genius of the 6th - although I would dearly love to hear that latter work from this orchestra and this conductor.

As always the orchestra (and the production) are sparkling. I have to say however that the first movement lacked the 'con anima' for me - the generally slow tempo seemed to somehow nullify the tension; lethargic even. Meh, aesthetic preference perhaps, but it does need the 'anima'!!

[@drgustavbakter4735]

To put it more bluntly the firsr movement was bland to the point of boredom and lacked any kind of tension. Another example, I'm afraid, of a young conductor striving to be original and reinvent the wheel.
