[glover400]

Gott is das geil!!



[AnarchistSaint]

This made me tremble in my chair with awe for its greatness. HAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackOnionRing]

It sounds like you're trying to escape when a bee follows you :D

[sahand144]

The principle trumpet has a cool tie lol

[OldRabit]

Magnificent!

[murillomb1]

Really, VERY WONDERFUL!

[legislator06]

Mehta conducts without score, by heart... wow, thats impressive ! It's a tricky piece.

[Marcuku95]

Que obra tan genial.

[musicnerd225488]

Wish I could afford the digital concert...

[wwjd19jeff91ynwa]

I had never seen a trombone mute before :o:o Shame on me. Made me spontanuously think of a very large bottle of whine ...

Bartok has a special sound ... not my favourite :) I prefer the 'love for three oranges' of Sergei Prokofiev above the 'miraculous mandarin' :))

[spacepatrolman]

@wwjd19jeff91ynwa PROKOFIEV is a russian composer BARTOK is hungarian altho the part at 1:52 sounds like the right of spring by stravinsky the ending of the miraculous mandarin has brass portamentos like the theme from the invaders tv series

[WanchengHsieh]

who is the third stand of 2nd violinist? A little bold with moustache, his face at 2:32 is very weird, especially at the end of music....

[pointreyes6]

Mahler would have loved to conduct this

[hujklnm23]

when all the strings move together. its damn cool

[cuparinos]

What movement is this. I think it is the chase but I think I am wrong.

[maserati0721]

Maestro didn't bring the score,, incredible

[shaylenmusic]

@maserati0721 that's what good maestros are supposed to do. complete and utter memorization and understanding of the piece.

[quadmaster89]

For anyone in the western Pennsylvania area: the IUP percussion and dance studios will be performing this piece tomorrow night at 7pm in Fisher Auditorium on the IUP main campus. Tickets are $14, come out and enjoy an amazing show. If you like this, you'll love the show tomorrow night!

[takharov]

Thanks for removing Wellesz's account. He brought much modern music to Youtube listeners which you thanks to pernickety copyright claims is no longer available to listen to and which might have opened up listeners ears such as Henzes 8th symphony.

I'd have thought better of the BPO.

[Kalen1457]

00:26-00:31-The cellists look like their POSSESSED by the music!

[classicalmusic6]

THIS IS SO EPIC!

isnt the principal viola Amihai Grosz ?

[BerlinPhil]

@classicalmusic6 Yes, your are right.

[Judingo]

Blasting this in my car!!!!!!!!!!

[XCelloVG]

1:45 = page turn galore

[animesis]

Not only does the Berlin Philarmoniker provide us with amazing music from superb musicians, but also replies to many peoples comments on youtube

Berlin Philharmoniker, thanks for this wonderful gift :)

[LuisFredTrombon]

Yes, go Jesper!

[ThomasLigre]

great!!!

[fabianidhesona]

I came listening to this piece.

[fabianidhesona]

oh my gooooooooooooooood this is like indian music. Bartok was a million years ahead of his time. we should be fortunate to have the privilege to hear this music.

[desolationrow511]

What movement is this?

[fabianidhesona]

@desolationrow511 this is the chase. its about two third of the entire piece.

[kikiko91]

very good !

[thisismikestanley]

You might just as well take Zubin away and replace him with a traffic cop; he's practically a breathing metronome in this performance, and this entices little except a very flat, boring, and colorless presentation from the orchestra. For me, Philadelphia/Ormandy is the only truly worthwhile recording of this piece to listen to, especially at this section.

[guidepost42]

I simply can not get over how well this orchestra plays. Power flexibility attention to phrasing accents dynamics nothing is missing or miscalculated. Simply astounding. And for my money, they sound better now than they did under Karajan or Furtwangler.

[starcevicgoran]

0:22 , zato se i zove Cudesni mandarin jer je ovo cudesno, muzika velikog praska ! ! !

[trombonejim100]

Can anyone tell me the name on the second trombone? Is he the new one in the BPO trombone section? HE IS GOOD!!!! They all are!!!

[BerlinPhil]

@trombonejim100 Thank you! The second trombone is Jesper Busk Sørensen.

[trombonejim100]

Can anyone tell me the name on the second trombone? Is he the new one in the BPO trombone section? HE IS GOOD!!!! They all are!!!

[hujklnm23]

brasses are awesome.

[towar85]

T-BONES you guys are killers!!!BRAVO!!GREAT!!!I know this piece because I've played it in my opera house,but we played as a ballet..great piece and one of the compositions where we have something to play(trombones)

[clintonfiske4prez]

Bearded violinist in the back at 2:33 is not feeling it

[bratscheguy1023]

GOD I LOVE THIS PIECE! Berlin Phil... What more can be said! BRAVO!

[Pricher1991]

was für ein wunderbares, organisches Orchester!

[violinhunter2]

Ok, this is a good show, this Bartok work is great, and Maja is playing. Bravo for all that - BUT, when are you people going to learn Gounod's Second Symphony? When, when, when?

[NisbetAM]

Amazing video. Wow.

[chamberviolist]

who is the viola principal????

[BerlinPhil]

@chamberviolist Its is Neithard Resa, our 1st Principal Viola.

[junglemozart]

@BerlinPhil Unless my eyes deceive me, Mr. Resa is sitting second chair?

[sportsfan1937]

@BerlinPhil i want to speak on EVERYONE's behalf, we all really appreciate the amazing work you guys in the technique room do to film and post these videos! we are all just fortunate to have even clips of concerts. thank you sooo much!

[RyanSimpson09]

OHHAAAAA....die erste geige....rastet doch nicht soo aus.....ein wundervolles stück....

[redhotchiliangel]

Amazing Berliner!

[HuggumsMcgehee]

T-BONES!!!!! Great video.

[brensten32]

cool sounds like some egyptian movie music

[redhotchiliangel]

@brensten32 Egyptian? "The Miraculous Mandarin"... Mandarin = China

[fabianidhesona]

@redhotchiliangel the chinese influence is in the begining. in this peace theres a lot of arabian influence, and this last part sound to me also a bit indian, which is just perfect.

[anzdf]

Fantastico, Bellisimo.

[numb3rmonkey08]

Miraculous indeed. Bravo!

[Bramborail]

oh )

[NiceVideos11]

WOW!!!!!!!
