Movement 4 of Hindemith's Symphony Metamorphosis

[blkjock81]

Opening sequence - those quiet chords after the loud chords should be like hearing the reverberation of sound off objects...like when you play a loud sound and then stop and you hear something vibrating sympathetically to it...does that make sense?

So it shouldn't be rushed...let those quiet chords just sound and decay...

[ThaSchwab]

Why was that cellist vibrating the last note? Not only is it supposed to be a short note, but it wouldn't have made a difference anyways.

Call me stereotyping AND racist, but was he Asian? They always seem to over-exaggerate on things like vibrato.

Very nice--great work from Oklahoma!--bravo students--excellent conductor.

I lift weights to this movement but not this ensemble.

[fob199]

[odinnshred]

Does anyone else hear striking similarities to Mahler's 6th in this?

[rec12573]

poor oboes...

[Slambamram]

I can definitely tell you that this is not good sound quality. I remember it to be much better in real life.

[seanconnery4]

Well live performances are always better when you're there and not watching a video of it.

Acc.Gogle, OCU is Oklahoma City University.

This was the first Hindermith I enjoyed following its use as a Beeb signature tune for a science sreies with Hermann Bondi.

Weel==ll enough done here for my pleasure.

[Shpedoinkle77]

What School is OCU? This is a very good orchestra overall.

[Sproker06]

oboes... god love them

[contraplayah]

sounds like the basses are a little slow in the beginning to me. but very good otherwise.

[drumlikethesaved]

Indeed, it's a bit distorted. But it's a regular video camera and the room isn't the best. We did what we could...ha. Thanks.

It may just be the quality of the recording, but it seems like the sounds seem to blossom a bit too much, making the winds seem to obnoxious. Good recording regardless
