@windstorm1000 excuse me , let me clarify about 'Dorian Gray': the conductor has such an ethereal quality about him.....he certainly brings out the poetry and fire of this great work. Bravo, maestro.
Funny how mister Lam puts on such a show while the musicians almost never look at him. Fact is that most conducting is actually done in rehearsal. By the time of the concert the players already know what he wants, therefore they can happily ignore his antics.
All that said, his approach is solid so he does seem to have some actual talent. This is probably a student orchestra still, if for nothing more than courtesy the poster should give the ensembles name.
@Stradivari1715 Good musicians always keep the conductor from time to time. Otherwise, there is no room for spontaneity, interpretation, etc. A good conducting strategy is to give minimum visual guidance to musicians during rehearsals, and then give everything during the concert to get even more out of them.
@swizzle2012 dvorak is a contemporary composer and he likes to put in irregular stuff.. which bothers me cuz i luv the classical chord progressions more~~
Love this performance....any musician who says they can not follow the conductor's direction had best look for a new career. His conducting is marvelous and he gets every nuance from his orchestra.....that is what makes him a very fine MAESTRO and tells me he has a big future in front of him....
The conductor tries being a heavy beater while heavily emoting throughout the piece. I definitely think that there were times where he should have gone with one over the other. I mean I could follow him throughout myself, but still... honky's gots to decide every now and then!
Everybody is saying that this conductor is so great...but I would never want him to be my conductor, because you really can't follow his lead, if I would get lost, I would never know when to start...
But he did a really good job in making this orchestra performing Dvorak really well! I hope we will get it ready in may!
i remember seeing a video with zubin mehta conducting this and i watched it a lot, but then it disappeared! does anyone know where it went or have a mirror?
Beautiful. Thanks for making this available. I'm preparing to perform this in March & it really helps to have the conductor constantly in my view as I play along!
May I just say that I find this movement entirely too long? I love the symphony, especially the last movement, but I think this is a little long for me the way it's written.
It's just amazing how Dvorak builds the climax from around 06:15 to 07:40...flawless. Demonstrates that you don't need a Mahlerian outlook to achieve huge orgasmic climaxes.
Dvorak is my favourite, he can be so powerful with out smashing out the notes, just the beautiful and entrancing sound of his symphonies is fantastic.
Wonderful performance of an incredible work by my all time favorite composer. HOWEVER, they could have filmed the ORCHESTRA rather than the silly conductor.
the conductor looks like the prince jacked up on some Dvorak. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I never imagined that I could EVER say something like that...
I am playing this piece in orchestra now and I can say that the 1st movement is the best sounding of all of them. Mvt 4 is just as epic but harder to play in a sense... man, this movement is one of my favourite romantic pieces now.
Good performance. For the first 12 bars or so I thought you'd over dubbed the LSO version, the tempos are identical. What gave it away were small intonation issues in the woodwinds and horns.
He looks beautiful conducting, but I don't think one person could depend independently on him to keep them on time... Not without a lot of practice on their own, to know better.
I agree, still he is charming when conducting. I dont know what they gave me a -2 for my comments. People sometime are so conservative, they have a hard time hearing the term "beautiful" to a man. Aesthetically talking, while conducting, his expression so dramatic, so much into it, makes him not hadsome, but instead beautiful.
Certainly, it was to agree with you. I have to think more practically at the moment though. Within a month or so, I am going to be conducting a piece at my school, and I think with it being my first time, I should keep my conducting practical. I, unfortunately, cannot be a Dane Lam...
I understood your point. But we should make a mix of both, emotional and contained styles. You should conduct from your heart, without forgetting your commun sense to conduct the others.
You're right. I'll have a few weeks to practice with them, so I think I'll get the hang of it before any performances... That is just what I'd like to do though. I'd like to get a good combination of both emotion and practicality.
Jah, were pretty good. Thanks! Ah the horn part is so awesome!!! Specially the part at the end of the first movement (Kraftig, Entscheiden) with the quintuplet sixteenth notes. But anyway, I don't like the conducting style of this guy, but his version certainly delivers! :)
I listen to this while working and I'm not viewing it - or the conductor. I'm just an average Joe - not an expert but I thought it was lovely and sounded beautiful whether or not the conductor was pointing at the right people or not.
uggh this conductor would drive me insane, he doesn't count anything out!!! Just moves his hands in sync with the melody! Hey I saw this performed today!! It was great!
I first heard the 8th when I was an 8 year old kid. Even then, I could tell how superior it is to most music (Ludwig's 5th and Tchaikovsky's 1812 and Nutcracker and the finale from The Firebird excepted). It's so lyrical and dynamic and thematic. How can you resist it? I'm not a trained composer but, a songwriter...a variation of the 8th's 1st movement is going on our next cd (Allus Cats - "'Tis of Thee" being our first one...google it and listen to 14 different-sounding songs).
how can you go and say that beethoven's fifth isn't good? that's perhaps the greatest symphony i've ever heard ludiwg van produce. it almost comes close to mahler's eigth, or saint-saens third.
mahler151...go back and re-read my post. I said that Dvorak's 8th is "superior to most music (except Ludwig's 5th...)". The word "except" means that I don't think that Beethoven isn't good but, IS good. - AllusCats
oh, hahaha. sorry about that. i do agree, this symphony deserves much more attention than some other symphonies. but when it comes to beethoven's fifth (except that opening) it's all good.
i don't like the conductor's style. i don't think i'd be able to follow it very well. i played this symphony in orchestra. it's so beautiful. LOVE IT!!!!
pcheaven101, i really have to disagree with your opinion. The conductiong is not good at all: there are A LOT of parts where you should point the instruments that start to play. Like the timpani and trumpets, they have all the accents and you missed them all man. Also, the musicians need to understand if its the 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th beat of the measure, which is really hard the way you're doing it. Try conduct an easier work, like a mozart's symphony. Don't start through Dvorak's.
I very much like your interpretation, and conducting style. I do however, wish that you had a better orchestra, and would have liked if you had had a word with that flute soloist in the beginning...
This is such an amazing piece. Dvorak was truly a master. I have to play that insane cello part that starts at around 2:40- where it goes to the minor and it becomes triplets- for an audition in about a month. Wish me luck
i've played this with my orchestra and no offence to this conductor but i would find it hard to understand him, his movements sway too much and he misses key points where there is rubato and should be guiding people into it, where i would be looking up. However its good to see so much passion. i have so many amazing memories of playing this symphony, it was my first!.
They did an awesome job with this. From a technical perspective (for a violin player at least), I think it's 10x more difficult than the New World Symphony.
Per the whole, "melancholy" symphony debate, parts of this piece are exquisitely mournful/melancholic (opening of 1st and 2nd mvmts), but this isn't Hindemith's "Trauermusik" or the Barber Adagio. This incredible work has always left me smiling in the end.
Let me assure you that I do. But I will tell you more tomorrow, when I will have heard it live in Philadelphia, how about that? In fact, directly from the Philadelphia Orchestra website: "The concert concludes with one of Dvorák's sunniest symphonies."
It's sunny because it ends sunnily, not because it's a sunny symphony. Even the Brahms 2 is a melancholy symphony. The first movement of this 8th is tattered with melancholy, the second movement has the rug pulled from under us at the climax.
But regardless, enjoy your trip to the Philly tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
What a nice adventure this whole piece is. Very enjoyable. Theres nothing to dislike about this. This whole thing sort of mirrors life with the nice flute bits, thats the easygoing, then it gets intense though. The whole thing climaxes very nicely.
omg i played this song this summer at IMC camp :)
i played the piccolo and flute and the part around 7:05 when the trumpets blast out the melody with crazy string triplets, it was so amazing to be right between it, and i get shivers every time i hear this
The basses at 6:49. Gives me chills every time

What do you mean melancholic? This is one of the most cheerful symphonies.

Obviously you don't understand the symphony.

Let me assure you that I do. But I will tell you more tomorrow, when I will have heard it live in Philadelphia, how about that? In fact, directly from the Philadelphia Orchestra website: "The concert concludes with one of Dvorák's sunniest symphonies."

It's sunny because it ends sunnily, not because it's a sunny symphony. Even the Brahms 2 is a melancholy symphony. The first movement of this 8th is tattered with melancholy, the second movement has the rug pulled from under us at the climax.
But regardless, enjoy your trip to the Philly tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

What a nice adventure this whole piece is. Very enjoyable. Theres nothing to dislike about this. This whole thing sort of mirrors life with the nice flute bits, thats the easygoing, then it gets intense though. The whole thing climaxes very nicely.

omg i played this song this summer at IMC camp :)
i played the piccolo and flute and the part around 7:05 when the trumpets blast out the melody with crazy string triplets, it was so amazing to be right between it, and i get shivers every time i hear this
i adore this piece:)
congratulations a piece well done :)

i know this is kinda random and mean, butwat is the conductor trying to say. He keeps opening his mouth and puffing it.o-O
