Grieg: Peer Gynt / Järvi · Berliner Philharmoniker

[lukey2603]

THE DUDESONS!!!!

[mobile507]

That guys string broke! Badass!

[274vince]

@mobile507 That's a hair of his bow and not a string... that happens often when you play such pieces... -.-

[jpech95]

The conductor has a very strange way of conducting, I've never seen it before.

[Daachiii]

paranormaluria bozishvili viko

[tatarqa]

great thank you very much for sharing

[lawnsausages]

Järvi is such a character I love the 'shrug.'

[KeiKey1989]

The Guy at 2:14 is nearly breaking his bow - look at the horsehair ^^

However - Awesome!

[kickbackman1277]

of all the video's of this song on youtube this one is by far and away my fav

[2113hms]

I once dated a girl that didn't like this piece. It was a deal breaker. :(

[glynn36]

String snapped at 2:13

[StoelR]

@glynn36 no it didn't, it was a hair from the bow.

[Mygod2k]

Maravillosa interpretación, digna de elogiar.

[MarciCow]

From Peer Gynt's second act, when the shiftless, selfish youth finds himself, in a dream, in the Hall of the Troll King, facing for the first time his inner demons --and trying to embrace them. The piece is magnificent because it gives you the feeling of being chased by your own dark side.

[giulllygiu]

ssstttrrreeepitoooosaaa...piac­isssimisssimaaa a giuly;)

[tromboneottis22]

the conductor has the orchestra accelerando too early. its not supposed to happen until about measure 36 and they started in right in the beginning.

[tromboneottis22]

@tromboneottis22 but i suppose its the conductors choice

[justmaker81]

die qualität der aufnahme ist echt gut aber die ganzen hintergrundgeräusche sind unbeschreiblich störend

[MatrixRocker]

@justmaker81 was für Hintergrundgeräusche?

[Milchzahndose]

ist diesem Andreas Buschatz da eine Saite gerissen? :D

Vgl. 1:55 und 2:14 da steht doch irgendetwas ab ?! :D

[DiscooStuuu]

@Milchzahndose Ist nur ein Bogenhaar! ^^

[werewindwolf]

Järvi's expressions at 0:45 and 2:22 are priceless..

[CutesyCupcakeLove]

that was so good! gave me goosebumps!

[Hanswernerpibnbrings]

und wer ist der linke bei 1.55 ?

[Shuryfi]

i like the moves at 0:45

[badboykilroy]

Alton Towers!!!!

[afrontmacz]

Wow you start to run out of breath when you just count count in 4/4 cuz it gets faster

[eddytanjiacheng]

The violinists weren't in a trance for music, they're having seizures. :DDD AWESOME

[meme4567890PSN]

Damn That Violinist at 2:14 is a BOSS!

[Hochlader11]

der bei 1:55 sieht ein bisle aus wie charlie aus two and a half men

[mikimimmimusi]

donc de ma nationalité,

[mikimimmimusi]

le chef d'orcherstre est estonien.

[TheLadySullivan]

i heard this once in elementry school during music class and it gave me chills and totally enthralled me...25 years later, it still hasn't lost its effect! LOL

[TheLadySullivan]

wow. this took my breath away! brava!

[SerenityM16]

Is it just me, or does the conductor simply have a look about him like he's trying to be energetic for this but just physically can't?

[funnyvideosbykatie]

if you play this, and your arm doesn't fall off by the end of this song, then you are not playing it fast enough.

[SerenityM16]

@funnyvideosbykatie I think I saw the violin's strings start to come off by the end.

[loloaero100]

Superbe.....



[nazisucksass]

fantastic. Only one problem with this opus - it's too damn short! Although it's very simple to play on one instrument (at least it's like that on guitar I don't know about violins etc.) the way it develops dynamically at the end is so damn brilliant - makes the hair on my neck rise.

[KommMitMirNachPapaya]

i have to hear it a second time... wow

[Zeddicus1976]

If Grieg would still be alive, he would be among the best film score composers. The atmosphere he creates with his scores is fantastic.

[lemidi]

After these 2 minutes the strings all need a bow rehairing :D

[kayanperfect]

Noss, alguem viu em 2:13 a corda arrebentada ?!

[inna1962]

грандиозно! на одной теме, какая инструментовка! а тутти!!!!! мастерство!!!

[DaniLux19]

Brilliantly!!!!!!!!!

[se7ene11even1]

FASSSSSTTTERRRR!!!!!!



[xXvolhvXx]

How did the audience manage to sit there so calmly? I would have looked as if I was having an epileptic seizure.

[CyberTiger000]

Uhm... I disagree that he nailed the music. At 1:39 the music changes the tempo, one bar late than usual. Of course this is due Järvi's interpretation, an entire orchestra cant miss at the same time, but sounds really odd. At 2:10 the Tubas are too loud, and the cymbal player isn't that good. And at 1:04 something is strang, couldn't find out what, sounded like an extra pizzicato string, maybe the guy who lost the string lost it at that time. XD

Very good, but not perfect.

[KittyRokher]

@CyberTiger000

Yeah, well, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

[shadowface90]

one word: MAGNIFICENT

[xerxes52]

Never been the greatest fan of Jarvi but have to give it to him. He's nailed it. Spectacular!

[Hyperventilacion]

Järvi is awsome o.o

[Rollermaddog]

Nothing beats music like old speed metal toon...lol

[AngusGibsonT]

Knew that at least ONE violinist would need a re-strung bow! :-P

[joehigashi82]

merci merci merci merci merci merci merci MERCI

[ScottishAccordionist]

Wow! that song truly sounds like the alton towers theme tune

[stuntmanwilliam]

conductor looks bored and tired at 0:46

[MoonShineLover1]

Seriously, who is the jerk who disliked this??

[cuparinos]

Broken string at 2:13

[mauricioayala84]

@cuparinos you're right!

[margotlorena1]

awesome! this piece is amazing! grieg's a genius....

BTW, one of the violinist looks like he's having a seizure!!!

[BuggiBuck]

the footage fits perfect to the music every second of the video <3

[PukingRabbit321]

Who is the conductor and who is the composer?

[kyy9]

@PukingRabbit321

Conductor - Neeme Järvi

Composer - Edvard Grieg

[Thomascello]

Who is the violinist at 1:55? He really tries to get out the hell of his instrument! :D

[BerlinPhil]

@Thomascello It is Andreas Buschatz (who has now been appointed "Concertmaster" of the orchestra)

[AngusGibsonT]

@BerlinPhil You should certainly pass on my compliments and admiration to Herr Buschatz!

[getdusty1]

@Thomascello I was going to make a comment of the same sort. He's going flat out, isn't he??

[Heyerman]

Absolutely amazing. If you have been to the 'Philharmonie', you will know that the sound is marvelous

[Heyerman]

Amazing and monumental....

[Heyerman]

Most amazing. While the conductor is not the dazzling and agile type (in comparison to the likes of Rattle or Dudamel), the performance is still outstanding and monumental. On of my favorite classical pieces.

[BoJanglezzzzzz]

I friggin LOVE the conductor in this video xD

[iter68]

it is the only complete movement in this channel

[milliffa]

@stefancan thats actually a bow hair. When playing vigorously, they often snap

[DigitalMadness1001]

The bassoons sound amazing here!! This is one of the best versions on youtube.

[Jonathan5986]

This music is fantastic, is more beautiful still, when the violins begin to make the pizzicato

[westernikas]

Neeme Järvile 5+

[TengoUnOboe]

O M G

[MaxxUS08]

is that a busted violin string at 2:15?

[stefancan]

@MaxxUS08 No it's not, it's just the end of the string. Some cut it off, some don't ;-)

[Macins1]

Excellent!! Who is the solo clarinet in this video?

[BerlinPhil]

@Macins1 It is Dirk Altmannn from the SWR Sinfonieorchester.

[Macins1]

@BerlinPhil Thanks!

[Leerverkauf]

YES!!



[ariastoteles]

Bravissimo!

[enea0629]

Violins are literally on fire...

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

The conductor looks like the Mountain King

[RosaBeck1971]

@AbsoluteZ3R0

Yes, he does ...

:D

[mortalfrog007]

great tempo! i guess the first violins wanna win speed contest!

[nnwahler]

WELL, DOGGONE IT,NEEME!! You used to take this at Grieg's prescribed tempo ("alla marcia e molto marcato," 138 to the quarter note). I know from your late-1980s CD! That speed's the only way to really make it effective.

[redhotchiliangel]

Only. The Best Orchestra. Awesome.

[MercifulMe]

@redhotchiliangel Are you forgetting Concertgebouw?

[redhotchiliangel]

@MercifulMe No i dont. This is the best orchestra in my opinion.

[MercifulMe]

@redhotchiliangel Well we will agree to disagree then :)

[redhotchiliangel]

@MercifulMe Who? Only you. For sure.

[MercifulMe]

@redhotchiliangel Well you can be an immature child, or you could simply acknowledge that Concertgebouw was voted the best orchestra in the world by Gramophone. I even gave you the option to your opinion without me having to tell you this, but you obviously don't respect others opinions, because you were such a prick.

[manuelspcool]

@MercifulMe Berliner Philharmoniker and Concertgebouw are the best of the best = ) Somebody erased the piano concerto of beethoven with Uchida and Concertgebou = (

[redhotchiliangel]

@MercifulMe The inmature child is you. Look: i said "This is the best orchetra in MY OPINION" I dont said: "Shut up idiot" or something like that. If you are here for insult people, i dont want to discuss with you. Pace and take care.

[17kelthuzad]

esta orquesta es la mejor su musica y todo el cuerpo es excelente!!!!!!!........

100 * 100 puntos para esta orquesta es lo mejor de lo mejor!!!!

algun dia estare ahi !!!!!oiste MANUEL!!!!!! jajajajajajaja

son buenisimo!!!! (claro si son los mejores)

[violinhunter2]

Nice - especially because Maja is playing. Bravo.

[David0794]

awesome job!

[esgatch]

Excellent dynamic! Bravo BPO.

[hannaalmacy]

@Glouryian, I respectfully disagree. Subtlety is not the same as lacking energy. Not every conductor needs to behave like a butt-wriggling young dude. The orchestra would not have played with such brio without Maestro Jarvi's direction. If you log into BP's digital concert hall and watch his interview, you will find that his views of music and technology are quite updated compared to some other conductors of his generation.

[Glouryian]

@hannaalmacy You are right. I highly dislike some of those modern conductors, who are trying to make a show out of themselves. Perhaps the shown scenes were not chosen accurately, but my opinion remains, that Mr. Järvi in this case -not generally- loses a bit of vitality and authority in the communication to the orchestra. But I am sorry, if somebody gets offended -I did not want to be harsh.

[antoniotvfan]

WONDERFUL SONG played by the WONDERFUL BPO

[lynx655]

PERFECT! :')

[Marlene55M]

One of my favorites! Thanks for posting!

[sebastianrc]

Espectacular!

[MarianaDJSL]

Love it <33

[Glouryian]

Im sorry to say that, but the conductor felt a bit displaced here. Most of the energy came out of the orchestra and felt like it was not lead properly.

Impressive performancy anyhow. But could have been better obviously. :)

[anzdf]

Muy hermoso.
