Does anyone know why the lower strings are sitting on the conductor's left? I'm just curious.

[polecattaz2]

@nolaparis There are many ways to set up an orchestra, and having the Double Basses to the conductors left is one of them.......Conductors prerogative.

[nolaparis]

@polecattaz2 Interesting. Thanks for the insight.

[ManIhTwoLinJay]

I was trying to play along with this but all the shit heads in the video DID NOT PLAY THE REPEAT SIGN! AND HE MADE THE ENDING MUCH TO LONG!

[rootusercyclone]

@ManIhTwoLinJay Hey man music is meant to be interpreted not taken literally

[tarjo1XxX]

This song is stunning!

[neferlella]

eccezionale: un pezzo veramente RUSSO

[apple4607]

Epic. Absolutely Epic.

[tp1073]

Seems a bit too fast for my taste. The tempo leads to a lack of feeling and seems a tad mechanical.

[fantastique73]

I think this is one if not the best stirring orchestral work,

together with his Violin Concerto.

Tchaikovsky a true master.

Thanks for posting Marche Slave.

[MsVeganninja]

In my opinion this piece needs to be played slower because of of it's depth and strong emotion. At this speed you can't possibly enjoy the dark dreary feeling that Tchaikovsky felt when composing this piece. Overall, great performance.

[jii9991345]

Please, please please PLEASE tell me that I can get this on a recording somewhere!!! This is my favorite recording so far . . .

[Guitargamer91]

I love it. This the way we're working on playing the piece. The tempo fluctuations may not be written in, but not everything has to be written in the music for it to be there. Music is not a formula that is precise all the time. At times yes, but not all the time.

[butterbeeroverdose]

@Guitargamer91 Precisely! In my orchestra, we've been playing this for a while and as we improve on quality, tone, etc., we naturally start to add in the almost imperative tempo fluctuations. Granted, we're comprised of players from grades 6 to 12 (albeit the best in our region, I might add), but it's something that is unlocked sometimes without the need of neither a conductor nor written notation.

[EssenceDRUMMER]

It is amazing that they could play this song that fast. Really inspiring.

[koolpoop456123]

The practice russian style... play it right or else...

[saksophoneMAN]

czajkowski rlz :)

[sswriter09]

this is way too fast. WAY too fast.

[MrRichard1747]

nice tempo I liked it! 

[symbian1530]

Que poca sangre!

[tmlmta]

I thought that was way too fast. There is no rit. at the end of the piece either...

[enoryuu]

I never have seen this speed.

[TheatreOfAwesomness]

I would pay so much to play this song.

[Musicalsrockmysocks]

I am playing this piece in my orchestra. Pretty much the most fun piece ever.

[jeanmaxkortex]

Absolument génial! Enorme interprétation! LA vraie Russie éternelle!!!

YPAAA!!!

[AmandaCbx]

Simplesmente perfeito ! =)

[darije77]

This was the first piece performed for the opening of Carnegie Hall in New York. It also indirectly led to Russian assistance and liberation of Serbia from the Ottoman Empire.

[Ratzalae]

Love this! one of my favorites!

[hedywong82]

Again and again... unbelievable

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

were they just going for the fastest recording in the world? would have liked to hear the repeats

[DanDaBug]

Incredible. This is now my favorite rendition of my favorite symphony. Well done, Pletnev. Tchaikovsky would be proud.

[Spiritakis]

@DanDaBug

With all due respect, this is no symphony at all. It is a separate orchestral piece.

[joao975ca]

@DanDaBug symphony?

[DanDaBug]

@joao975ca Forgive my misuse of this english word already!

[rmorecook]

absolutely beautiful. Thank you Feodor

[hedywong82]

my favorite rendition

[neuronauta]

AMAZING!!

[RimmaHelena]

I love it!
