Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36 (Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Valery Gergiev)

[@OlivierNovel]

Am I the only one to think that Gergiev is to Tchaikovsky's Symphonies what von Karajan is to Beethoven's? He has that passion that blows you away, sinks you into despair, elevates you to the highest places in heaven.

[@angela5094]

No, you are not the only one. At present Gergiev for Tchaikovsky is the number one. Nobody like him.

[@BytomGirl]

@@angela5094 I wouldn't say nobody, Gergiev is superb but also listen to this symphony played by SF Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas. It is superb, I was there and saw it live.

​@@BytomGirl Thank you! All suggestions are welcome.

Gergiev is definitely a great conductor for anything Russian

[@pulverapa1580]

The more I listen to Tchaikovsky, the more I can identify with him as a person. He was a genuine, insecure, brilliant man. A very real man. A man who lived a life that went against the norms of what a man should be. He was not only ahead of his time in his music, but also in society. That's what makes his music sublime. His music will truly live forever and, if there's any comfort in it for the composer himself, his music will only get more and more appreciated. Thank you, genius.

[@imhere8380]

Thanks for sharing. Did you know Tchaikovsky dedicated this (Symphony No. 4 in F minor) to. Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck (1831-1894)? She was a remarkable Russian businesswoman who left an indelible mark on the world of arts, particularly music. Beyond Tchaikovsky, she also supported other musicians, including Nikolai Rubinstein and Claude Debussy. Nadezhda von Meck’s influence extended far beyond her lifetime. Her unwavering commitment to the arts shaped the course of music history.

[@pulverapa1580]

Yes, I learned that watching one of the documentaries on youtube. As a matter of fact, I went to a concert in Stockholm last week featuring Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony. It was incredible, an unforgettable experience. I hope to listen to any of his symphonies again, especially #4, #1 or #6.@@imhere8380

[@pulverapa1580]

Can you believe me if I tell you I lived in St. Petersburg Russia for 7 months and only went to Mariinsky once to watch Nutcracker? At that time, I hadn't discovered the absolute genious of Tchaikovsky, even though I lived on the street named after him.@@imhere8380

The sheer power of this performance is just fabulous. Aaahhh...Gergiev and his Russian composers. And let's praise also whomever was responsible for the sound. This is the 3th symphony of this cycle I listen to and I love the clarity of the sound. The strings, the brass.... What a delight to listen to. Thank you

[@aliciacolmano6487]

The opening music to this video is from Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, 2nd Movement.

[@ЛюбовЧуб-м6з]

Гениальное произведение, противопоставляющее духовный мир композитора (его передают смычковые и деревянные духовые инструменты), року, судьбе.(медная группа инструментов и ударные). Но в финале произведения противопоставление перерастает в гармоничное сочетание, и этому способствует народная тема ("Во поле береза стояла"). Великолепное исполнение оркестром. Браво оркестру и дирижеру!

[@ЛюбовЧуб-м6з]

@@0wls1 Да! И этот факт, как нельзя лучше, соответствует теме этой симфонии. Такое впечатление, что здесь пиццикато передает какие-то секреты, тайны души. Как бы шепотом композитор, используя эту технику, сообщает нам об этих тайнах .. А.ведь так и осталась тайной причина, по которой Мекк и Чайковский не сблизились по-настоящему, хотя духовная связь была необычайно сильной.

[@brucemiller5356]

one criticism noted of Gergiev in an comment to a earlier symphony, was that he never smiled. untrue. when he turns to the audience to take a bow he is smiling. and early in the 4th movement, he grins facing the strings on his right.

[@yubicc]

Nice to see the maestro with a baton.

[@brucemiller5356]

following up on my last comment re: conductors smiling, i recall well that Solti (cso) did NOT smile at all, when he came out, and would stand, facing the orchestra for the longest time until orchestra hall was as quiet as possible. when, at the concert's end, he turned to take the wild applause from the packed house, he did smile in a lovely way. btw, this was b.e.s.o. = before the era of the standing ovation which, when i went to many concerts of the st. louis symphony which, to my semi-untrained ear, sounded just as fine as the cso under solti, etc, standing ovations became more and more frequent. good or bad. i don't know. you almost NEVER see a european audience stand. one exception, at the end of the rachmaninoff piano concerto #3, with anna federova as the solist, the audience just goes beserk, finally standing, i think to her surprise, and that of the conductor and orchestra. (sorry can't remember the exact name, i think something like the northwest germany radio orchestra. if you love rachmaninoff's concertos, there are vids of her soloing the 2nd and 3rd on youtube, and i HIGHLY recommend you watch them.

[@davidparrish2534]

Not true!! Soldi smiled plenty!

[@edmundnschrag]

No one alive better with Tchaikovsky than Gergiev. That said, back when I thought the 3rd was my favorite of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, I had my mind utterly changed by Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony a few years ago in concert.

@@Dylonely_9274 Tchaikovsky provided the impetus for late Romanticism which Mahler embodies. Bruckner is shallow and derivative.

[@Dylonely_9274]

@@thethikboy While I still prefer Tchaikovsky to Mahler for now, Mahler and Bruckner are imo better than Tchaikovsky ones (although Tchaikovsky 6th is one my favorite symphonies). Mahler and Bruckner probably got inspired by Tchaikovsky, but their music is very different than Tchaikovsky's music. Mahler's symphonies are longer and richer, harder to like fist but then you can understand why they're better. Tchaikovsky's music is pure romantic whereas Bruckner and Mahler's music is postromantic.

Une interprétation de ces symphonies quasiment inégalée! Depuis Karrajan et le Philarmonia dans les années 50 et les enregistrements de Mavrinski on n'est pas arrivé à un tel degré de perfection magnifé par une prise de vues parfaite contrairement à celle des mêmes pour leurs concerts Schostakovitch dans la même salle. Le talent hélas mit au service d'un régime d'assassins et de mafieux! Comment un tel chef et orchestre aux pareils talents peuvent-ils soutenir l'ordure du Kremlin!

[@samuelariasramos6082]

Karajan nunca ha dirigido decentemente a Tchaikovsky. Y lo que no puede olvidarse, bajo ningún concepto, son las maravillosas grabaciones en vivo de Celibidache con la Filarmónica de Munich. Auténticos milagros. Aunque he de decir que, dentro de los directores rusos, incluyendo a Mravinsky y a Svetlanov, Gergiev es con diferencia el que más me convence interpretando las sinfonías de Tchaikovsky.

A superb performance and excellent audio marred by truly inept video direction. Shaky handheld cameras, lengthy dissolves that went out of fashion in the 1960's, unnecessary tracking shots. Good direction should be transparent with the viewer noticing only the music - Hannah Dorn's work with the Berlin Philharmonic is the epitome of this style.

[@edifyguy]

Close your eyes. Problem solved. :) It's music; the performance and the audio are everything. The video is incidental.

[@taoxiaonan]

at the beginning of the third movement it is crazy

[@carloshumphrey1]

Beatiful Symphony by Tchiakovsky. One of my favorite symphonies. Dedicated to his Mescenas Madame Von Neck. None the less a complex symphony. THere is much to say about it in this few lines, but his biographers explain it right or wrong in great depth, like: Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed by John Suchet; Tchaikovsky: The Man and His Music by David Brown; Tchaikovsky: The Quest for the Inner Man by Alexander Poznansky some of them focus in critizim, rather than him a muscical genius. I would just stay awy of Constatine Floros. Could not finish reading the latter.

Пишу в мае месяце 2022 года, в те времена, когда мыльный пузырь Гергиева лопнул окончательно. Удивительная вещь: Валерий последние лет 15 занимался своей деятельностью так, будто бы отрабатывал повинность или погашал кредиты. Вся вот эта избыточная активность сказывалась на качестве игры его оркестров. Те редкие видеозаписи его выступлений показывают изнеможённое и безразличное лицо, будто бы уже все повидавшее. Жалкое зрелище. Но как же он был хорош, когда отдавался музыке искренне, со всей душой, с русским задором. Как на этом видео, например. Тут он уже настоящий маэстро экстра-класса, тот самый, которого в нулевых полюбил весь мир. Жаль, мир потерял Гергиева ровно после того, как он перестал находить себя.

Undoubtedly Gergiev has excellent musical ideas. His accelerandos and dynamic, are terrific gorgeous! However, his conducting pattern is unbearable for me. Especially in the pianissimos and slow movements. It's like I almost feel the tension between the musicians.

[@ediccartman7252]

Believe me, if he doesn't come to the concert right from the airpot, this is the conductor you wanna play with all your life. He doesn't really have a pattern , he interacts with musicians mostly by body language and pantomime.
