[HolyMarluxia]

*cough* *cough* X 100

[doubtingJulia]

I love me some cor anglais, not even inconsiderate cougher can wreak that passage.

[Explorations84]

*Mental note* Request that somebody plays this at my funeral! I can't think of a more fitting piece of music to describe everything that I am.

[volk410]

That string entrance at 0:54 is divine. And the principal oboist puts the HAUT in hautbois.

[bsatkinson]

i love it!!

[windstorm1000]

@PhysicalsimForever It is INSPIRED by the spiritual--but no direct quotes--which makes for even more genius that Dvorak--a Czech composer--absorbed the real FEELING in his short stay in NYC. Coughing? There should be bowls of cough drops at the entrence of every music hall. And also an intelligent listener should NOT come if they have a cold!! Its called common sense and courtesy--in short supply even in concert halls!!!

[klausofant]

fantastic and stunning!

[blueray222]

Perfect derp face at the very end.

[pmk422]

You people are too sensitive about coughing.

[HatingFan]

The coughing ruined an otherwise well rendered piece

[EmmaLikesFish]

why does everyone have to cough in the quite parts?

[maxauburn]

This is one of the most lovely works

of music that you will ever hear!

[someonetrulyamaziful]

Bravo !!!!!!

[Adelie47]

Exceptionnel, je suis sans voix, je lécoute en boucle et cela depuis plusieurs semaines !

[quickqwertyuiop]

Hi, I'm MoreThan Freeman. Thank you.

[windstorm1000]

The conductor IS rather odd--all the grimacing--but if that inspired his forces---then so be it. I wonder though, if R. Strauss would approve--does the conductor need all this facial stuff? He's just there to just keep the beat, right?? No other symphony has as much warmth, color and heart such as this one...Such a masterpiece. And, so American sounding--and then Czech in other places--very multi cultural....I hear the Mississippie mud in this work--if that is possible...

[Helmholtz53]

@windstorm1000 Conductors are extremely important. Timekeeping is'nt their prime purpose. Thier job is to pull a performance from the musoicians that conformes to thier idea of what each piece of music either rquires , or illicits , in the mind to the conductor.

[windstorm1000]

@Helmholtz53 I stand corrected.  Thank you.

[XaveaX]

@Helmholtz53

I agree with you on this part. But I also would like to note that the conductors are their to give volume, feeling and soul to the music(In my opinion). Because anybody who practices hard can play any piece of music they want. But to play it with feeling and soul is a completely different way of playing. You can see it here when the musicians move with the music. That way you can see they are listening to what they play and completely go into it.

[dennykay]

@windstorm1000 Although i agree with you on the conductors face, i still wonder what R. Strauss should have to say about a symphony by Dvorak? Did he have anything to do with it?

[windstorm1000]

@dennykay Nothing at all--I am just being hypothetical. There are two conducting schools--the closer-to-the composer-'intention' and no grimacing--ie-Strauss, Toscanini. and the broader more emotional ones--ie Bernstein, Furtwangler. To put things in a longer historical context, Mendelssohn would fit in the former, Wagner in the latter. I think both are valid--the important thing is they get the 'guts' emotional draw of the piece out.

[dennykay]

@windstorm1000 ah, allright, thanks for the larger context :)

[mrGreenteacup]

Mr bean conducting...

[aevanra12]

Oh... Mah... God... Amazing

[AEC2121]

@0me0my1 I think you mean english horn solo.

[0me0my1]

Great oboe solo here. Love it!

[mortalkon]

*cough*

[jazzbassbone2000]

Sounds great, what a masterpiece!

Is the English horn exactly the same as an alt oboe?

[windstorm1000]

@jazzbassbone2000 no, I don't believe so....the alto oboe sounds like an oboe with a cold...the English horn (it is neither) has a distinctive timber all its own.

[AEC2121]

1:08 <3 Love that english horn solo! Absolutely stunning and gorgeous! English horn produces one of the most comforting, warming, and beautiful sound ever heard from an orchestral orchestra. Go oboes as well! you guys are my 2nd favorite!

[CelloCello90]

haha si eso de toser siempre pasa, siempre hay alguien que se tira todo con un simple esturnudo! salud!

[AsquaredRom]

some people need to learn to not cough

[amasterson106]

Every movement is just mindblowing. freakin awesome stuff.

[frozenflame5858]

I didnt know Jim Carey conducted

[insainiac33]

That man. That man must be loving life. I love him.

[fletchersamf]

That one dislike there was CLEARLY a mistake, this gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it! Mr. Nelsons & the CBSO have done a splendid job here!

[261joanne]

I agree about the coughing. People should learn to stiffle it and cover their mouths.

[thefithBeatle]

classical music like this is not music...it is art. Simply, breathtaking art. I am a double bassist myself, and have played Dvorak No 9 at Birmingham Symphony Hall, and when the Cor Anglais has that solo, it sends shivers down my spine. Simply awsome.

[thereds1959]

The Hovis, advert.

[fckshyt15]

this beat be cracking, yo!

[Violinkid05]

Why do people go to concerts making all that damn noise? Fuck! That shit is very irritating, they need to hold that shit in, or try to keep it quiet, they have no respect for the composers, conductors and the hard ass work that we musicians endure putting together concert such as this.

[electrostatic1]

@Violinkid05 I know. It sounds like this concert is being performed for a leper colony.

[Violinkid05]

@electrostatic1 LOL Indeed yo

[agrigoat]

@Violinkid05 You sound like such a lovely compassionate person. Screw the potential for music to be a unifying force for all mankind, lets be idiots and spew bile cause someone coughs. Did peopel not cough in Dvorak's time?

[TheMaestro2005]

@agrigoat none the less, its unnerving. People shouldn't be going to formal settings if they are too sick to hold their coughs back or be silent as much as possible during a performance. It's just courtesy and respect.

[Rodxgb23]

He looks like a Rowan Atkinson!!!!jejejeje Mr.Bean conducting!!!

[john30238]

Such a noisy audience...

[john30238]

Such a noisy audience...

[JimmieOC]

And I LOVE the respect from the audience to not applaud between movements...but those sick, coughing fucks are still pissing me off!

[rachmaniralf]

Such a SHAME. I love this work, but Andris destroyed the opening. WAY too much separation and no bite in the timpani. Takes away some of the drama. However, LOVE that nice deep warm sound at 1:03. Never heard that in any other recording before. But that's not what you hear in concert. The rest of the movement was great though. Nice dynamics.

[Martins2012]

Can't people stop making noise? It gets on my nerves people coughing on the audience. I don't understand why they can't keep it quiet...

[james6033]

Its a bloody big hill for a loaf of bread!

[dannyalba1]

Simply love this!

[Brnenec]

Absolutely fantastic!! Symphonis of Dvorak are so beautiful. I love Czech composers and Dvorak is the best. His ideas in his music take the people happier!!

VIVA DVORAK!!

[homobohemicus]

@Brnenec in This case, I suggest a lees know Czech composer by the name of Jaromir Weinberger ... he has used Dvorak as an inspiration and you can hear him in his movements... very nice indeed.... When hearing Dvorak, I just hear my home:))))

[obosak]

Breathtaking piece of music art.

I absolutely adore this symphony, especially this 2nd part "Largo".

What a performance of Birmingham's orchestra!! Awesome!
