Sergei Rachmaninov - Symphony No. 2 | Semyon Bychkov | WDR Symphony Orchestra

[@barney6888]

This great masterpiece and my love for Rachmaninoff and his music justified my tossing of the Groves Dictionary where it belongs - on the porch for feral cats to you know what on. Not even poverty or political oppression is as much an enemy to art as pretentious, self anointing and ambitious academia.

Amazing conductor! Conducting without a score. BRAVO

[@nnthadani1]

All highly rated conductors have phenomenal memories.

39k views! This is sacrilegious. This performance deserves 39m views!

Neben der wunderbaren Musik genieße ich auch die starken Aufnahmen der Instrumente (z. B. Bögen auf Saiten). Ein großes Lob auch an die Tontechniker:innen und die Kameraführung

[@lucasgust7720]

This conductor is really admirable.

[@johnmorris3469]

To be able to hit an entire symphony’s worth of cues with such finesse and while having the entire score committed to memory, is simply next level!!

[@WDRKlassik]

Absolutely! 💯

Best performance for Rachmaninoff no 2. Very emotional, romantic and melancholy! Bravo maestro Bychkov and WDR players. They got together all the time from beginning to the end. Best camera works as well ! I wish that maestro Bychkov baks to this group.

Thank you very much! We are glad you like it. 😃

Was watching it on tv. Thank you for a wonderful concert.

[@mangomerkel2005]

Die Schönheit dieses Werks entzieht sich jeder möglichen Erklärung! Der dritte Satz ist einfach nur eine fantastische Himmelserfahrung, so hört sich Liebe an!

[@rudigerherpich3496]

... und dort im 3. Satz kann man auch eine "echte" unendliche Melodie hören. Bei Wagner sind die unendlichen Melodien eigentlich nur unendliche Harmonien und Modulierungen.

[@mangomerkel2005]

@@rudigerherpich3496 Exakt, das Klarinettensolo vom Adagio ist, wenn gut gespielt, einfach unglaublich herrlich. Diese Sinfonie ist für mich das schönste Orchesterwerk!

A lovely performance of a neglected master piece

Pas du tout négligé au vu des multiples et très nombreuses interprétations enregistrés

🤔 Would Putin, who is Russian after all, be able to enjoy this beautiful music? Better: Would he be able to understánd this beautiful music?
