My favorite music of this composer. From sunrise to sunset a very, very impressive virtual mountain climbing tour with splendoring summit music. 🏔️

[@stevieb6368]

Fantastic! Those Viennese horns are just magnificent!

[@warrenwilson4818]

Unbelievable.! All ten playing perfectly.. Best ensemble. Trust me, I've heard 'em all. I'm 79. Oct. 16, 2023. St. Joseph, MO, USA

What a horn section!!!Vienna horn love it,sound, overtones just beautiful

[@barryguerrero6480]

Unparalleled anywhere else. The Berlin Phil. horns sound like they're playing with tweezers in comparison.

[@andreaguarino8207]

[@DAVID-et1lj]

the sound of Ronald JAnezic and Josef Reif is the f... beasty

[@hornbestinstrument9393]

absolutely yes, even Josef Reif's sound in Mahler 7 is solid and fantastic; the idea of ​​sound that I have in my head

[@luiginoriello6829]

Semplicemente Eccezionali!!! Come sempre del resto. Fantastici!!!

[@eriklucas3317]

This is real fine music in it's complexity! Bravo to the composer and orchestra!

[@basstrombonist6681]

Die Trompeten sind viel zu laut und stimmen miserabel bei 0:35 Wie kann man ein Stück so überblasen 🙄 ?

[@gearaddictclimber2524]

It’s written fortissimo in the score and it’s a German trombone section; it’s not very out of character at all, and many other orchestras play it that loud. It’s supposed to be an epic bass drop with that cool brass tinge.

[@nikb6176]

The real question is how can the horns manage to lack any warmth or sense of phrase in this piece?

[@opianoemsi2894]

Beschweren Sie sich bei Strauss, er hat es geschrieben.

[@nikb6176]

@@opianoemsi2894Strauss has nothing to do with the arrogance of the Wiener Phil 🙄

[@jochyii]

Dass die Trompetengruppe der Wiener Philharmoniker bei der Alpensinfonie nicht den besten Eindruck macht hat ja fast Tradition.

[@James-sj7pl]

The most infamous out of tune trumpet can be found In Karajan’s recording of Sinfonia Domestic such things don’t bother the great maestro !

[@christiangeller1414]

Wer dieses Stück jemals mit den Berlinern (!) gehört hat, ist leider für immer verdorben. Ich habe es zweimal mit den Wienern gehört (Köln und Salzburg) und einmal mit den Münchenern unter Thielemann. Klang jedesmal etwas angestrengt und "am Anschlag ". Absolut unübertroffen die Berliner unter Ozawa (Karajans Geist schwebte im Raum 😅): Diese unerschöpfliche Kraft, soviel "Drehmoment"und total mühelos. Wo andere Orchester bei sehr anspruchsvollen Stellen irgendwie "hudeln", scheinen die Berliner die noch zu genießen und auszukosten. Gibt auch hier auf KZbin einen großartigen Ausschnitt mit Semyon Bychkov.

[@florianjanezic6665]

Also ich höre hier nichts "am Anschlag" ..... definitv nicht ^^

Good thing nobody was in the audience to listen... cause that tuning was ROUGH in the trumpet section xD

[@gddecker]

Not at all.

[@Voyager23B]

@@gddecker You must be deaf if you didn’t hear the intonation issues in the trumpet section.

[@renemiska1666]

thank you Brady. Maybe you should become a critic for the Podunk Herald now.

[@jamesoliver6625]

No point in denying it or trying to gloss over it as inconsequential. It's there, it was less than the players own standards one would assume.

[@markokassenaar4387]

The trumpets are really out of tune 🤔

[@Voyager23B]

Play at 0:34. Ouch!

[@barryguerrero6480]

Yes, by American park band trumpet standards they are. They also have some body of tone that the piston park band instruments simply don't have. For me, it's 'not 'out of tune' enough to district from the overall effect of the entire passage. Besides, it should should like it's a struggle to play up there, not a picnic.

[@stevieb6368]

Who cares!

[@markokassenaar4387]

@@stevieb6368 My ears do! As well as my taste. And my wallet, if I'd paid to hear this live...!

[@michaelbown3229]

They’re just out of tune here in the first section. No need to make excuses for them. They were in tune in the latter section, so they know how.

[@rcbuggies57]

Why do vienna horns have so much more power than double horns? Is it just all to do with the bell flare and bell itself?

[@alfredr.4131]

Ein klarer Fall für das Arbeitsinspektorat. So etwas ohne Gehörschutz ist grob fahrlässig

[@joachimsaxer4812]

not good. Me no likey. Complete lack of transparence, trumpets out of tune, horns dominated by the tutti.

[@andreaguarino8207]

No audience?

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

As usual in rehearsals.

[@marquefan1]

maybe covid?

[@barney6888]

what?? no male harp player????? i'm writing the U.N. !! (Spectacular playing by the way)

[@colinstubbs7670]

Probably one of the more stale and emotionless performances ive heard…. Trumpet…. Why…..

[@gerontius3]

Because it's far too slow Colin.

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

WTF!?!?!?! THIS IS VIENNA!!!!!!!! You need your ears CHECKED BIG TIME.

[@jerelull9629]

I'm sorta disappointed. I hardly heard the Vienna horns through the screeching strings.

[@laurentdumontel5680]

Je préfère écouter Mitropoulos avec le même orchestre à la fin des années 50 ou Mravinsky a Leningrad en 1962. De nos jours malgré ces fabuleux musiciens tout est mou......et avec Jordan cela n’arrange rien.........

[@gerontius3]

Great Vienna Horn sound but the tempo is wayyyyyy too slow. This is a piece that if you don't move it along becomes turgid (as here). Tsk. Tsk. Try Karajan who knows what he's doing.......................

[@AFGalopp]

Bernard Haitink used to direct with this tempo. Btw, if you become turgid listening to this Vienna horn playing, it's only a good thing!

[@Infidelio]

Has there been a female in the Vienna horn section ever?

[@guillemjean]

Surprisingly bad, can't compare with bhoth Bychkov and Nelson's performance with the Berlin phil

[@joachimwinter9316]

Don't like this that much. Sure, it's brilliant, but the tempo is to fast for my taste, the brass sound is too sharp. That's not the Alpensinfonie I know

What's the American style?

[@verdade9998]

There are practically only men in the orchestra. This is a little strange.

Go to the doctor! There are several in the strings.
