Tchaikovsky, Serenade for Strings, Finale (Tema russo): Andante; Allegro con spirito

[Gryffindor8]

this and Dvorak's serenades inspire me everyday.

[kalinga01]

these people are good...the sound is so crisp and flawless

[oddball163]

LISFA anyone?

[Paranormalove]

@oddball163 yuppp! lmao

[Music2myears1357]

@oddball163 yup haha and the funny part is that we're playing this exact piece for our school concert on thurs, dec 22. it was also performed in Allstate this year... repetition? i think so. but it's okay because this piece is AMAZING!!!

[kaysydable]

The conductor is so calm.

I love that!!!

[lucas1997bom]

this is the best interpretation on the youtube!

[fearsomesnow]

4:33 is my favorite part :D

Our high school orchestra is playing this for UIL.

[TheMusicalAlien]

@fearsomesnow YUP~!! 2nd violin there is so much fun~!!

[NikolaTesla234]

I can feel the strength of the strings, and the coff coff of some stupid jerk at 1:42

[spicytuna64]

my middle school did this and everyone was saying how crazing my teacher is for picking that song. but we bombed it and it was better than a lot of the performances on youtube.

[babykatee8295]

The part at 7:30-7:42 sounds so familiar...Was it used in a modern song? I was sight-reading this today and i've never heard this before and yet, I knew exactly how that 12 second part went. Someone help me please!

[RubixHEAVEN]

@babykatee8295 maybe you heard it from the first movement? :I

[fearsomesnow]

my highschool orchestra played this a while back, awesomeness...

[ryizzle55]

My highschool orchestra played this last night.  It is such an amazing piece.

[Ullrichweb]

isn't Tchaikovsky great? good playing!

[u05bd6]

How come? Do you want her to laugh or sob during the piece? :)

[moveyourbody468]

This is very nice performance. However, I feel like they're dragging a LOT as the movement progresses, starting with the melodic line in the cellos at about 2:18. It seems like it loses the momentum that they had built, after that. But other than that, they sound really good :)

I've never played this personally, but I would love to someday (viola player).

[ryizzle55]

@moveyourbody468 This piece tends to drag at that point. My conductor had us work on not making it drag, regardless it still did.

[halliegirl15]

wow........

[coocooforcocopuffs45]

my high school orchestra (the mesquite high school symphonic strings from gilbert arizona! =D) is playing this song at carnegie hall in early april!!!! i'm so excited! no joke

[strawbanana12]

God I loved playing this song in HS, is was perfection and i love the harmonies

[ciaconne90]

@strawbanana12 i love this song, but i do say i was disappointed in the finale. It wasn't as huge of a tear jerker as i usually expect. and the opening is just the elegie and then later its 1st movement

[ciaconne90]

dude im playing this right now. there's this one section where i think tchaikovsky just wanted us 1sts to jumble up our fingers, hes probably on a cloud laughing :p

[Stupidthingsdumblife]

I played this song, not edited (In its full glory) in middle school. Brings back the memories

[favrefan425]

Middle school? Jesus....it was challenge when my high school orchestra played it...but we got first in the festival tho...good memories.

[brittwait]

i know right? i'm playing this for the first time my senior year in my school's chamber orchestra.

i can't even imagine a middle school playing this. they must have been really good.

[saphirbloom]

me too! :)

i played it in high school

[ubboh1234]

Played slowly, but this performance moved me very much. I can listen to all strings sections profoundly and sounds vividly.

[rjt93]

All-time favorite here as well.

[candisandi02]

the most beautiful peice of music i've never heard

[nlepak9100]

absolutely magnificent....

i just played this for at my orchestra concert!!

one of my favorite orchestral works ever!

[lordjustinian]

I agree! Who ever wrote this comment is a awesome person, and most likely has spiky hair.

[nlepak9100]

lawlz

[scroobly]

or is starting to bald but grows their hair very long...

[repinshtrad]

lovely sound. this serenade might be my alltime favorite piece. because of that, i may be too critical when i say that the first chair violinist in the firsts does not seem to be "in" the piece at times. she just does not show emotions at some parts where i think u need to. but i may be too critical and music for the recording is amazing.

[vividandan]

HOLA YOLENAAAA

[vividandan]

YOLENAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[thecelloisticguy]

Very beautifully played.

Gah,I just have to love this piece

I played this while I was at GHP and I can still feel the "chills" I got when I played it. Thanks for the upload :)

[frozinfire]

fantastic
