Valery Gergiev conducts Rimsky's Scheherazade - The tale of Kalender prince (part 1)

[winrx]

Yes, that was not a well played solo by Herr Kuchl - I guess 40 years in the orchestra can take it's toll.....

Meraviglioso il solo di oboe e fagotto :) Riesce sempre a commuovermi.

[TrueFinlandishness]

stunning music. and a stunning performance.

Really very beautiful oboe!!!! So nice to heard a Viennese oboe player

[McClaudioMacau]

Essa obra é linda e a regência magnífica. Sinta o tesão do maestro e a emoção e o quanto sua a camisa. Esse ama o que faz e transmite a emoção da obra.

breathless.

OMG! With all respect to the Wiener Philharmoniker, please retire Mr. Küchl.

That was just about one of the worst played Scheherazade solos I have ever. Küchl was a good experienced violinist at one time, but has truly redefined the use of vibrato in this video. For someone who says that he does not like Heifetz's playing, he should look in the mirror and listen to himself play.

Gergiev deserves better!

@AlexanderMandl How good is the Vienna Philharmonic compared to other orchestras around the world? Is it better than any of the American ones?

[NRob84]

@AlexanderMandl LOL Sascha! I could only imagine what Erick and Sidney would say about this solo. :D

Sublime. It's really a pity there isn't the whole beginning
