12:35 is it me or is this section too slow? I don't mind slowing down to appreciate the lush sonic architecture, but we're not talking about the movements of a glacier here ... there's more of a blizzard getting started here, as if mother nature is starting to wreak its natural havoc on calmness and stillness, to beat it into us that impermanence reigns supreme and that we absolutely must appreciate the gifts we're given to master her severity, or succumb for want of reflection.
I listened to this and then listened to the Mark Elder/Halle Orchestra performance on YouTube. While this performance has some truly beautiful moments, I felt that Elder seemed to pace the whole performance in such a way that made it more cohesive.
I've always thought that this is a uniquely amazing piece of music...almost strangely mystical. It seems to define its own form.
@SundancePioneer I'd say "nice" chord, but for sure it's more "threatening" or "trenchant" than nice, especially as it concludes a stormy sequence of thick notes bespeaking of wintry blasts of chilly Finnish air and ice. Which, by the way, makes it chord worthy of admiration.
This is a good performance of one of my favourite symphonies. I am used to Simon Rattle's version when he was with the City of Birmingham Symphony orchestra many years ago. That version is excellent! But it is always refreshing to hear another conductor's interpretation. Pity about the break and having to click the next part when really it is like one movement.
@m06een00 quite unusual; Wien is the only one like that. I think there is a female clarinetist now but it made a scandal. Not sure of what i say though; but Wien IS a special orchestra.. a teacher i had told me that they'd choose between two versions of two masters by flipping a coin; whatever the poor chef would do. Any business, large organisation with only one gender only puzzles me too; in that very case it can be a question of tradition, still less silly than a female-only thing ftw.
@m06een00 Bernstein fired everyone in the new york philharmonic that wasnt jewish then hired a fashion designer to make jumpsuits as uniforms for the musicians which were rejected because they couldnt move their arms to play the violin this was known as bernsteins folly there used to be a radio show racism in the philharmonic
@boxers7x5 too many if you dont believe in the mafia just try to start your own garbage truck company and see what happens to you [ watch the episode of the FBI the scourge ]
Hmm, that's curious, on your channel here you state you're 37, and you lived in Brooklyn in the 50's??? LOL, just more vapid bullshit spewing forth from you.
Yes I've heard of the Crown Heights riots you smug arrogant prick, and once again, you don't know what you're talking about. The riots were between West Indian/African-Americans and Orthodox Jews.
@boxers7x5 eldridge cleaver said you use the word prick because you are a stupid white honkey who is uptight about the size of his cock but a black man uses rod or shaft which connotates something large what happened in crown heights was jews driving crazy ran over black children on the sidewalk the jewish ambulance wouldnt take the black kids only the jews so the blacks incited a riot or maybe it was the police who told the ambulance to take the jews because they didnt get the car off
It is indeed wonderful to listen to this magnificent 7th symphony of Sibelius played by this orchestra under the direction an older Bernstein. The fire and finesse of the Finland's great composer given life once again. Thank you so much
@alannameilan That is what they do in that orchestra. They say that they are traditional, but there are older orchestras in the world that have women playing too.
Excellent ... Extremely delicate and romantic interpretation of the performance of Bernstein's ... As always heard is a spiritual contribution to the music over which he has custody, full of sentimentality or is it only my heart so hears ? ... I love Lenny, and remains in my memory as a lively, sensitive and charming man...
6:02 to the delivery in 06:36 English language is poor to describe it... Bernstein's face says it all

Sibelius was a genius. So sad that he felt his music was nothing. He helped give Finland a national identity. What a man...

@m06een00 it was (and probably still is) a tradition of the Vienna Philharmonic not to have women in the orchestra. This goes back a long way.

You say it was documented by orchestra members but mention no names. Are you saying there were no non-jewish members under Bernstein??
He tried on Thursday night concerts having the orchestra in blue trousers and shirts with collarless blue jackets but soon abandoned the idea.
Your statement is pure nonsense.
