Brahms - Akadémiai ünnepi nyitány

[kantorlive]

Beautiful sensitive phrasing, marvelously old fashioned!

[JoeTeeQue]

Came across this version by chance this morning.

Beautiful interpretation

[juliana881452]

very nice interpretation, who is de conductor? is very young, probably entonation yn bras sometimes is rarely?.... but is not problem... y like de conviction

[musoderelict]

I think the piano passages could be softer. However, they play with such SPIRIT.

[tgergo1]

4 people don't know what the music is...

[christophersanton]

Why are the men dressed so slovenly? A bit incongruous compared with the formally dressed women and conductor

[tgv3000]

Les musiciens sont jeunes et beaux, surtout le chef d'orchestre, c'est rare et super sympa !!!

[johnedreslin]

Very thoughtful and accurate interpretation of what has got to be one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. Too bad Brahms didn't use full orchestral forces like this more often.

[iesvideo]

Incredible!!! it sound perfect! I think this is the best play (I've seen on youtube) thinking in the "spirit" of the original composition.  A shame the quality of the audio, it has a scratch or noise or something. What a beautiful women!!! This video has everything! Did I say something about the women? They are beautiful!!!

[KyvannShrike]

You know what I don't get. Of all the videos on Youtube, this is the only video that I actually think plays the piece like it should be played. It used to be the first result for "Academic Festival Overture" on youtube. However, a year later, it gets moved down one slot, replaced by one with quality that is not as good (just being nice, if I was honest, I would really be bashing the musicality of that performance). Then another year later, this video gets pushed down two more slots.

[KyvannShrike]

@KyvannShrike But now the quality is suffering. What's going on?

[eth5530]

It doesn't get much better than this. Human beings make life so much better when they perform in this fashion. It gives my mind and heart more reason for loving, and that is good!

[cdayton1]

@eth5530 I adore this piece. I first heard it on TV watching an old Cary Grant movie...'People Will Talk'. At the end of the movie, he conducts the orchestra in a very moving performance.

[Roligyilok]

Sírok Domi....

[emoaznviolinist]

Just a quick question: Is there any more information regarding what has happened to the conductor [I searched the conductor's name and did not get much feedback] and this fantastic orchestra? Have they all gone their own ways? Any more performances? Thanks, I absolutely worship this video~♥

[emoaznviolinist]

Agh, this is my audition music piece T__T [dies]

Well, this was absolutely BREATHTAKING. The orchestra looks quite young, and I was so impressed when I first watched this to see the flawlessness and the perfection of each of the notes and phrases. The conductor truly seems to connect with each of the musicians in the orchestra; the sound quality is absolutely phenomenal;; so are each and every one of the notes and rhythms. I love listening to this, thank you so much for the upload! ^^

[brasskornel]

Jó volt megnézni ezt a videót! Én is játszottam ugyanezt, ugyanitt 2007-ben! Életem legnagyobb élménye volt amatőr zenészként fellépni a zeneakadémia nagytermében a Műegyetemi Szimfónikus Zenekarral :)

[brojohannes]

Excellent orchestra, beautiful hall, cute conductor. Great combination.Thanks for posting.

[blind2bliss]

i have that horn part at 5:15 but on alto sax. its really tough

[mountainrover]

a very young orchestra. what country?thanks for sharing it with us.

[1984robert]

It was in the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Budapest, Hungary.

[mountainrover]

thanks robert

[oswaldkit]

@mountainrover I think they are old now.

[emilyistehbest]

they all like lean in dramatically!

[emilyistehbest]

this is very epic.

[zoeteapples]

It's a beautiful piece :)

[stresslie58]

Well seeing that I'm such a spazz I need a GPS Device just to find my place of employment Everyday, and I haven't got a talented bone in my Body, I can't really relate to some of the criticism

In the commits. I enjoyed it very much.

One of my favorites by Brahms next to

Symphony # 4 AWESOME!!!!

[darkrevel]

Nice performance of a favorate overture, with pretty women to top it all off. What more can you ask for!

[luftzerteiler]

Very well played. And beside: an orchestra with so many beautiful women I would love to conduct ;-)

[1984robert]

:-)

[Ziggy1614]

is this the whole piece????

[1984robert]

Yes, it is.

[bryan4208]

Loved it!!!

[Redwizard918]

Those are some strings right there. Conductor rushes some of the passages that could be more expressive, but overall a fun and exciting performance.

[ConductorMan03]

Is it just me, or is the high woodwind section too animated? I think they could cool it.

[1984robert]

I like it. In my opinion it is a matter of taste.

[casegirl25]

Definitely too animated. I was waiting for someone to get whacked in the face.

[cjh37878]

My regionals orchestra actually did as good a job as this professional orchestra did!

[TrixChic]

lol. they sway the same way at the same time!

[DeadMoose01]

Our school's orchestra's playing this... not goin so hot. :P

Amazing piece, though!

[oboegirl12345]

this performance is really good, im playing it with my orchestra atm

[jesusfreak951321]

i'm playing this in march with lubbock youth symphony orchestra.

anxious.

[gauerjr]

Good performance.

[novisibersk]

Dalcroze would have disagreed. Whether or not the musicians move in sync is not the point, do they move at all? Yes!!! That's why this young group plays as well as they do. The brass' lungs are certainly young though, aren't they?

[PolitischeTier]

It bothers me that each musician moves around but not in sync with the others. I would punch some of those violinists in the face for sure. And fuck the claronet players, they really piss me off.

[turkeytk]

Great performance of one of my favorite pieces of music. BTW Is the very talented orchestra very young?........everyone in it appears to be in their twenties!!!

the turkey

[xtremegamer515]

The principal oboe dances so funny!

[hungrykid101]

outstaannding!! nice work

[sbailey03]

my orchestras playing this at the moment, this is an awesome vid

[fruitmaster6]

So damn good! I can't find anything in this that sounds awful at all;D

[SmithPie96]

This is a nice performance to watch. The conductor is handsome & dynamic with some showmanship. He looks pretty young & should have a great future.

[engalosilla]

phenomenal

[ghepardo1970]

Pas mal du tout ^^ cependant je ne trouve pas de cohérence dans certains tempi. Mais belle performance !!! Merci
