@RukilDentarg I'm a 17 year old black kid in a metal band from a small town outside of Boston and even I get how amazing this is. it takes true talent to be apart of anything like this.
By the way they aren't sleeping they're taking in the beauty and hearing the music
@RukiDentarg ...God Blessed you to be able to really here this. Best to you in life...Follow Christ...He's who graced Dvorak with his talent...and you with your ear.
They played this at the Officer Crawford's funeral last Tuesday as they put his casket into the hearse. As soon as I heard the bagpipe and drum corps play this, I lost all control and couldn't stop crying.
Thumbs up if you wanna see a double booking of The Players Ball on the same night and pimps and hoes gettin' the party started with all the japanese business men? classical music make Pong Pong sucky sucky long time :D
@dlechler1 naw I'm alright mate, this video is overglorified. Need to find a way to bring you all back down to Earth. ooh look 3:17 - They've fallen asleep! Dreaming of a Slayer concert they wished they could have gone to instead.
@KierstinT As an oboist, I didn't notice him get purpler than usual. However, perhaps you're referring to Tom Stacy, the English horn player. This is a huge EH solo in the repertoire and requires great endurance to play musically and loud enough. It's true that when we play many long solos or play up high (like this particular solo), alot of pressure builds up in our head and we have too much extra air. If it looks like our heads are about to explode it's because that's actually how we feel!
So many Cor Anglais (English horn) players play this solo with souch harsh and forceful sound (in my opinion, that is). I love how the principal Englih horn here plays it with such an effortless sound. I play Cor Anglais and oboe for my symphony and I absolutley love it. :D
wat a classic. as a 16 year old i have learned to appreciate this genre of music. along with other styles. isnt it amazing wat the mind can imagine and create?
tweede strofe in versvorm weergegeven door E.Dehaes, Leuven, 11 oktober 2009. De Morgenster verlicht mijn pad De rusteloze droom heb ik gehad Het duister wijkt de dag valt in Mijn leven kent een nieuw begin Elke traan gewist, gedeeld Alle pijn en ziekte gheeld Nu waak ik daar tesaam met Hem In vrede klinke luid zijn stem Ik keer naar huis, ik keer naar huis Naar t eeuwig zalig Vaderhuis Zie het Licht en zie de Zon Die het duister overwon
Ik keer terug naar huis Enkel maar naar huis Rustig aan verdwijn ik nu Naar de Vader toe Niet zo ver, maar zeer nabij Jesus is de deur voor mij t Werk is af en ligt terzij Angst en smart voorgoed voorbij Vrienden wachten daar heel blij Ook Hij wacht sinds lang op mij. Kijk Hij lacht, reikt mij zijn hand Leidt mij naar t beloofde land E.Dehaes, Leuven 09-10-2009
The top 5 by means as the oldest and still operating orchestras in the USA are New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Symphony, Chicago Symphony, and Los Angeles Philharmonic. I'll stand corrected if someone else knows better, but this is my humble understanding.
In a recent article I read about the best orchestras worldwide, Chicago was rated above Boston, which was rated a place better (just above) New York. The others weren't in the top 12, as these three were, if I remember correctly.
@coguy5280 So glad to be a Clevelander :). TCO blows my expectations away every time I hear them play. I actually heard them play this when I was first exposed to Dvorak's ingenuity. I was almost in tears at 2:32. After the performance, all I could think about for about 3 weeks was this symphony, and how deep and profound its impact on me was.
There are the traditional "Big Five," which are the include the NY Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra; but as someone else has pointed out, it is subjective depending on your preferences. The Los Angeles, San Francisco and St. Louis symphonies are also very good, in my opinion.
from experience, the hardest part of this symphony are the brass chorales in the beginning and end of the 2nd movement. that, and the last bangs of the last movement. i can't believe these guys make it so easy!
I guess it's obvious that someone is too immature to know what constructive criticism is. I know those are big words, so let me explain: Contructive criticism means that you critique a performance; what you liked, what needs improvement. I'm pretty sure I didn't say I play it better. Funny how nobody commented on my positive comments.
I know this Symphony tends to be overdone, but it's one of the greatest of all time. Is that a Laubin english horn? Beautiful, dark tone, not bright., which is appropriate for this movement. A couple of slight intonation issues though. Being an oboe/english horn player, I love this movement. I can't wait to play this solo this Summer.
Typical classical musician. Always the slight off the cuff remark ("A couple of slight intonation issues ") to make you feel better about yourself. Wanker!
ohhh my friend, on the list of the 20 best orchestras in the world, 7 of them are american , the other 13, are europeans, but from different countries, and berlin, is not the number one!!!!!!
the big five (top 5 American orchestras) have been ahead of many of the biggest European orchestras for quite some time now. How stuck in the past are you? Besides, much of the music we count as classical repertoire was written here in the states. This piece we are listening to, in fact, was written in New York, home to the New York Philharmonic, and was premiered by the New York Philharmonic.
That's false information. This piece was written in New York, but it was written by czech composer Antonín Dvořák. And he wrote it for you because there was no classical music in USA at all. And, philharmonic orchestras in europe are also great, i don't know much so i can't say which is better, but if you google a bit, you found i.e. Amsterodam or Berlin orchestras on tops of ladders. And I think that Prague orchestra is best in the world (yes, i am from Prague) :-)
Many people think that Dvorak took the theme of this movement from a spiritual called "Goin' Home" but actually it's the other way around, the spiritual was written much later by one of Dvorak's students, based on the melody from the symphony.
Where did you get this information about his student composing the spiritual? I have never heard that before, so I am curious where you found it, because I would love to confirm for myself. Thanks!
Ahh, for anyone who uses small letters spelling Czech, Europe, and the I's....
You must be down to earth ---humbling I's. Yes, I am Filipino, very proud of being ONE although we don't have as good and talented classical musicians like Europe and US. The best is Nicanor Abelardo --his "Mutya ng Pasig" and "Pakiusap" are equal to Dvorak's Largo. My opinion.
AHH!! amazing!! I'm an english horn player and I dream to play this solo one day! I play for the MCYO Symphony Orchestra. I say this is one of the greatest solo works for english horn along with the one in William Tell Overture (amazing! played it) and the one in Roman Carnival.
This music is so relaxing and totally zones out any noise that you may here in the background when you are at a library. Also i have played with Michael Neuman and it is so much fun to compare the songs to what i hear now!
I played French Horn with East Texas Symphony Orchestra who brought in Dallas Symphony players for the concerts and just knowing NY Philharmonic was in North Korea playing the NEW world symphony so perfectly is just too great!!!!! Way to show 'em!!!!!
Is it just me or does anyone else just love the clarinet part written for this second mvmt? I mean, its like Dvorak gave the clarinets a huge solo. I know it is only the harmony but it is that harmony that provides the emotional connection in a non-direct way. I can almost hear them crying out in many of the performances i've heard. Thanks for posting.
I have to agree. I played 2nd clarinet to this piece in college and i thought the writing for the clarinet sounds amazing...even though it's just long notes, when played correctly, they sound great. Felt bad for the english horn player though, they only play in the 2nd movement, but what an awesome solo.
superb performance, but I've heard better interpretations. some parts were a little too rushed more than I would've liked them to be. great to see using the universal language as diplomacy.
Outstanding Top Notch Performance!
