not bad, but i agree with some of you that the beginning was a bit too fast. the ondes receives its due attention in this video. I like the myung-whun chung version with the orchestre de l'opera bastille. thanks for posting this up!
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry Goldsmith, who did the score for First Blood, was influenced by Messiaen, or more specifically, this piece. He was a great film composer.
very original and colossal work by french composer Olivier Messiaen, in which it's presented all chacateristics of his music at its maximun: a deep catholic faith, fascination for hinduism, attention to the instrumental color and rhythm and above all the birds singing as well as the use of the original ondas martenot
they could have added some volume to the string section...ive heard other versions of this....the strings are just buried in this version.....but otherwise a good rendition of a difficult piece..
Vaya grima! Está este respetado señor más preocupado en bailar y dar en espectáculo que en otra cosa. Parece como si los ensayos no hubieran existido. ¿Por qué la melodía del corno inglés en 4:30 tiene otro tempo y otra articulación que el flautín en 5:00? Y clímax como 5:30 parecen aquí música de mi pueblo. Y Chailly tan ricamente pasándoselo pipa. Da verdaderamente asquito.
Tu quien eres??nadie,se ve a todas luces tu ignorancia y tu rabia,envidia,seguro no tienes el minimo talentoi para criticar algo tan vanal como lo que dices,se ve que eres de pueblo,mediocre,que digo mediocre,eso seria si hiecieras algo,que eres??
Bueno, me alegra saber que alguien que se llama "asesinando directores" pida respeto tan vehementemente. Chailly es un grandísimo director y tiene una grabación en Decca de esta misma sinfonía que no desmerece. Eso no quita para que ésta grabación no esté a la altura.
Beautiful! I don't know how people don't "get" this piece. It's one of my favorites. The best performance, in my opinion, is Ozawa's with (I believe; I'm not certain) the LA Philharmonic. It's rather old, so the audio feed maxes out at some of the louder percussion segments, but the interpretation is wonderful, and the ondes martenot isn't overamplified (like in the Aimard/Davis/et al version also available on YouTube). I like this performance very much, too, though. Thanks for posting!
The rest is OK, bit the beginning is way too fast. Chailly leaves no time to listen for the sustained chords. It's the contrast between the fast attacks and the long sustained chords that's important.
I on the other part think that this whole symphony is supposed to be faster. It's a symphony about Power and Love after all. I certainly do prefer the recording made by Hans Rosbaud.
I really don't like this interpretation of Messiaen, and the way Chailly conducts this wonderful music. It's hard to really see the colors because the interpretation is really nervous. I prefer by far Rattle with the Birmingham's orchestra...
Pretty good performance. The trumpets are a bit rough and I don't like his conducting face :). My favourite recording is nagano with the Berlin Phil. Check it out.
wow wow wow, i want this whole performance on DVD -- RIGHT NOW... i love the presence of the Ondes Martinot, right up in your face, so prominent, makes sense of so much woodwind and string writings...

Very nice. I would have love to have seen Bernstein when he conducted the premiere. Chailly is fun to watch, too, of course.
