[justchillton]

gergiev reminds me of smeagol/gollum in this piece.

[SuperMovieFan85]

I love this movement. It's both jazzy and witty at the same time.

[yaakovda]

Awful performance of a beautiful piece.

[PIANISSIMO13]

Amazing the director in 0:47

[chiv78]

actually the pianist wasn't that bad...one missed note, I think...I was watching with the full score, cause I HAVE TO LEARN IT :))))

[joebassplayer]

always thought that up till 0:48 / the first motive, sounds like Bartok's music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste... am I alone?!

[EDGJZConglomerate]

@joebassplayer Nope!

[druggiero1973]

our marching band used this movement for our show....its awesome(:

[jmarsh777]

He wrote it at age 19 exactly. In my opinion, one of the greatest musical minds (if not the greatest) ever. His mind was unique from any other musical master. He's right up there with the very best.

[bigwilly311]

the pianist messed that solo up, hardcore. that sucks.

[aznlxli]

the 2nd movement for violin is insanely hard >.>

[teemucroshere44]

no, but he slows everything down. that sucks.

[geraldopus]

Anyone know who the pianist is?

[ResidentEvil3030]

First Comment!

Great composition, and amazing to be written at 19 years old!

[Symphony1inF]

Do you know Andrades's first symphony? he composed his first symphony at the age of 20, in honor of the centenary of the birth of Dmitri Shostakovich. If you want to listen this great symphony, you should go to my account's videos.

[FaygoAddict]

it was probably written before he was 19, which is even more impressive!(:

[aswallom]

@FaygoAddict

According to some books I've read, he began composition at 16, and of course completed it at 19. How much was written at which age and at whether he conceived of what he was writing as a symphony from the beginning or was just sketching out some ideas for another composition at first, I have no clue.
