Мой любимый кусочек... мурашки по коже :) Благодарю!

[cobbtothejay]

@brentthecrass despite that Wagner is a bit of a dick

[pianomanjc93]

6:10 - one of the single greatest moments in all of music...

[GreatFugue]

The second theme = pure TANGO!!!

An influence of Bizet's Carmen?

[ColossalProd]

From 1:37 to 2:17. This is purely Magical! Perfect Inspiration!

[OrangeSodaKing]

I LOVE BRAHMS' SYMPHONIES SO VERY MUCH!!

[prettyboi842]

brahms is the man! :)

[OrangeSodaKing]

@pstanislavov One person is Tchaikovsky.

[mikejones1770]

brahms has almost as high a percentage of his themes being memorable and meaningful as mozart..bartok marvelled at brahms inexhaustable invention.remember..mozart didnt use "tunes' as his symphonic themes either..both composers used themes that were "pregnant"and the result is "immortality"

[buickcityslim]

The fanfare at 1:32 and it's development is one of the great moments in music.

[1990osu]

Like the other great composers, Brahms can take a little piece of thematic material that is not that interesting, and weave an entire web out of that.

[depedro99]

These pictures - could you imagine living here! Must be Switzerland.

[jnotheman]

@depedro99 Yeah looks like it. I'd say Austria though, looks like a place i drove past when i went to Milan :) Fantastic piece of art we´re listening to. It must never be forgotten.

[louco5]

@jnotheman This isn't Europe...... it's Washington. Haha

The mountain is Mount Shuksan and the lake is Picture Lake.

[falstocat]

He is a master of tone color

[atecia]

What orchestra is this?

[yuripole0000]

amazing music, amazing pictures!!

where the pictures from?

[peteklat]

Why listen to music (composers and performers) as though they have entered a competition? Each has strengths and weaknesses - mostly strengths - and who gives marks for this? Wrong way to listen to music.

[jordiromans]

Aquesta es una de les meves sinfonies preferides

[Rwqe123]

Beethoven

Brahms

Tchaikovsky

3 Best

[TheDarkflags]

@Rwqe123

You forgot Bach.

[MrJYTK]

@Rwqe123 :  How about Bach, Mozart, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff???

[ChucklezTM]

@MrJYTK And Dvorak and Saint Saens and Elgar, too!

[nostranger60]

To write a piece is one thing, to write a piece with passion and power is another , to me not all composers achieved this, for Iam a composer as well so speaking as one I haven't achieved it either

[sandmaennle]

an amazing piece of music... imcredible :)

[brentthecrass]

We are analyzing this piece in music theory and it is almost preposterous that Brahms was accused of being uninventive with this work in his time. Simply because Wagner (nothing against him in the least) was more liked by the public, Brahms was ridiculed.

Brahms develops the second theme with the first, before the second is stated. How is this not inventive?

[TheDarkflags]

@brentthecrass

Brahms was criticised for going against the concept of "programme music", which was, essentially, Opera without singers, in that it was narrative of physical and material concepts, rather than being an attempt to journey through the eternal and ephemeral realms of human wonder at a whim (which Brahms achieves spectacularly in this piece, and others).

[verreglasse]

@brentthecrass Brahms is uninventive (only) in the sense that the catalogue of basic themes of any particular of his pieces tends to be sparse. As he is a master of "developement" (Durchführung) this is not a minus but lends his work the formal purity and plausability we so dearly miss with Liszt, Wagner, etc...

.

indeed, there is more than one good reason to despice Wagner ;-)

[Sshelly34213]

@verreglasse He's not experimental, he likes structure. What he does in that structure is quite marvelous though, he really takes us on a ride.

I adore both ends of the spectrum, I love stuff like Ravel and Debussy where you really don't know where they're going. I also love stuff like Brahms

[alexface211]

@brentthecrass To be fair, Brahms > Wagner. Obviously both were amazing, goes without saying, but Brahms's passion is way too underrated, for me.

[marklavar]

Could not the whole movement have been put in one video?

[ashraniyyah]

Excellent composition, excellent conduction!

[MrClarinetFreak]

wow karajan really mastered conducting this symphony, truly wonderful, mesmerizingly lovely song.

[musiclover83]

is it possible not love this music? I don't think so it's possible not to love it ...

[valenresh]

The scene matches the beauty of this marvelous piece. Soothing

[heatherlovesjade]

love this piece
