Dvořák: Slavonic Dance, Op. 46/8 / Rattle · Berliner Philharmoniker

[MorwenLhingril]

The dirigent looks as he has more fun than the whole orchestra :D

[harpsichordRB]

SORRY, IT IS NOT MARCH, BUT IT IS CZECH DANCE !!!

[MrGriis1988]

brilliant tempo !!!!! brilliant performance !!

[P1B1U1H1]

The tympanist is by far the one having the most fun.

[LeipzigKantor]

Where did they get that contrabassoon part? I bet that guy is making it up.

[jmaisto43]

incredible

[bearanease]

nice I have to play this in my youth orchestra group but it's been changed to an easier version i find it sooo fun to play on my bassoon :) Great job!

[darthvader912]

@bearanease YESSSSSSSSSSSSS FOR BASSOON!!!!!!!!

BASSOON PPLS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

[fornello123]

rotary trumpets in the hizza hizzouse

[nathanvosthetrainfan]

whats the name of the second trombonist

[deck1954]

Lady in wine red dress knows how to enjoy music. I love the way she feels.

27 second on the video.

[impreprex1979]

I'm a 31 year old rock-musician who just realized after watching this the true beauty of classical music. So many people all working together and doing awesome - it's like a super-band. It IS a super band!!! Just all acoustic. Amazing how I never appreciated this before!

[Ryotphoenixwing]

this is beautiful. I heard this song on the radio and immediately looked it up.

[VoxArcana]

How simple he conducts! wow

[coldstream07]

Simply a great performance. The performance of Brahms's 1st Symphony was equally impressive. Sadly one of the last concerts to have Jan Diesselhorst on stage, who passed away only a month after this concert. He truly was a great musician and person.

[virtuosomusician]

What's the name of the oboist at 0:12? I've seen him countless times on YouTube...

[BerlinPhil]

@virtuosomusician It is our principal oboist, Albrecht Mayer.

[PENNSY671E]

I like the maestro's brisk tempo. The accents add just the right amount of "fire" which keeps everything moving. A great orchestra performing in its tradition of excellence. (No offense.. but I see Bilbo Baggins when I look at Simon Rattle)

[mortalfrog0815]

who is 2nd trombone?

[MD051]

@mortalfrog0815

That is Susann Ziegler from the DSO (Deutsches Symphonie Orchester) Berlin.

[Jonathan5257]

Simon Rattle has the gift to lead orchestras,

and the Berlin Philharmonic has a great performance.

[llcamus249]

Great performance of even greater music! I love Dvorak!

[11235813211231853211]

the one with the sideburns ;)

[11235813211231853211]

who is the oboist? i've watched lots of berlin phil and lucerne clips and i love his playing! kudos to him!

[freakiscool]

Albrecht Mayer.

[yingclarinet]

That's Albrecht Mayer

[lorpre87]

bellissima!

I love this music. 5 stars from Italy (und Kompliment fur die Orchestermusiker)

[MaxxUS08]

I love this recording! This, along with a performance conducted by Barenboim (same orchestra) are among the best out there. Even better than Kubelik, who shies away from the timpani accentuation heard very clearly at 0:27 here. When it sounds so good, why, OH WHY?!

[mdchiesi]

yay hemiola!

[kuhataparunks]

i saw this in concert!!! it was awesome the whole floor was shaking in the forte parts :)

[thejoshuashieh]

Dvorak, one of my fave composers

[fre3d0m]

Here, Dvorak threw in some short passages for oboe and piccolo. Quite an exquisite tone colour! Love the way he explores different WW combinations!

[louiseduvee]

Superb! Just magnificent. I absolutely love the Berliner.

[NOBUAKI1983]

のびのびとした演奏ですね！！管楽器の重低音が耳から離れません­わぁ〜〜。

[karajanhk]

Is it an encore?

I bet Simon Rattle would not play all the Slavonic Dances in once concert.

Great work, great orchestra, agitating!

[BerlinPhil]

It was some kind of overture for his concert on 6 January 2008, followed by Brahms's 1st Symphony.

[tim23z]

Is it true that the average age of a musician in the Berliner Philharmoniker is roughly 30 years old? What a sound. I am an American, however I must say I have been hardpressed to find too many orchestras of this magnitude. Oustanding!

[BerlinPhil]

The average age is rather 41. Thank you for your kind words!

[fanaticodedubamel]

It´s a great dance!!!

[wagneristhebest]

Absolutely overwhelmed - brilliant. Thank you BerlinPhil. The most proffesional orchestra in the world.

[cellestialX]

When I listen to classical music I feel at peace in my soul, no matter my disappointments in life.

I guess it does for me what religion does for others.

[paxmanhorn20]

I love you for saying this!!! Thank you!!! Are you a musician?

[seakaye]

Let me know you my personal relationship with this piece of music.

As child of 10 years, I heard it from the orchestra of our music school teachers. I loved it from the first moment so that I wanted to learn the trombone or violin. Now I'm playing the violin and this very happy!

Second, once I had a wonderful melody - beautiful as it was from heaven - in my mind, and I searched after the origin: I found it in the melody of the flute/oboe in the Trio.

(Now it's got 3/3 ratings = my birthday;)

[johngotwalt]

they make it dance. Well, duh, it IS a dance!  Gorgeous sound and rhythm. Rattle rules.

[Justuspepe]

very cool

[alejandra379]

People, may I share with you a personal anecdote?

(ah, what the hell, here it goes). A friend invited me to one of these digital concerts -I think this one- and we "arrived" late, at the end... can you believe it? "arriving late" to a digital concert??'???

[sutphoe]

hehe, that is pretty odd! :D ah well.

[Kuzya3k]

awesommmmme

[YPchicken]

Is that even possible? To arrive late to a digital concert? Couldn't you rewind it?

[BerlinPhil]

In fact, you can attend in the Digital Concert Hall the Berliner Philharmoikers concerts "live" via the internet - and therefore also be late. However, the recordings are also available (including "rewind" function ) from a video archive after a few days.

[karajanhk]

Could you give me the link please? Thanks.

[BerlinPhil]

It is given in the column right to the video. Just click on the "more info" button.

[karajanhk]

Will they be available in DVD formats?

I hope I can buy these recordings sooner or later!

[BerlinPhil]

For the moment, we produce these films exclusively for internet distribution. But who knows what time will tell...

[AminaBellini]

thanks for this video...fantastic music and performance! I´m a liric singer and i love vocal and also instrumental music.

[SonofDostojevskij]

I miss karajan

[toscaninizt]

Ahhhhh! Sir Simon Rattle he brings this wonderfully new and refreshing sound to the Berliner Philharmoniker its amazing. The Karajan era might be over but in no way is the Philharmoniker worse than before, perhaps they've gained a new dimension in their music making

[alinaqc]

I believe Sr Simon Rattle is wonderful, and eventually will fill the shoes of Karajan, the master. They sound so amazing can't live without them!

[Kuzya3k]

yuuup gotta love karajan, but Sir Simon Rattle brings his own flavor to the game and I love it!

[lenael]

Eso si es sonido y belleza pura...gracias...

[Matey3]

thanks for the great video and music

:-)

[dougo18907]

Ah, I saw this symphony when they held concerts in my area. :)

[grandmagrumpy]
