Tchaikovsky Symphony NO.6 (Full Length) : Seoul Phil Orchestra

[mixo970]

that 4th movement :)

[bilhagoren]

i feel that tchaikovsky's heart and his soul within this symphony.

[tanglewoodinoz]

although it is played by south korean, it amuses and impresses me!

[bilhagoren]

how sad that this symohony was the laat one in his life.

[josepablo1514]

The Tchaikovsky's Sixth is the most original Symphony never created after the Beethoven's Ninth. The composer always expressed : " create something which says something, music must express something.. it cannot be a group of empty sounds". Stravinsky many year after expressed that the Tchaikovsky's music had something incredible, very deep that is was not easy to see and understand. The symphony 6 is the unique example of the true Tchaikovsky.

BRAVO

[prezlla]

Tear drop at 49:20. Thumbs up if you caught it.

[elenahntalavera]

Fantastic¡¡¡ my father would be proud and happy with this concert. Bravo¡¡¡

[PhotonCherades]

10:45 someone wake the conductor up!



[baram1993]

simply beautiful. Bravo!

[FloripanoBR]

All oriental orchestra - except for the spalla HAHAHA

[johnnyponny4]

I notice they use Tchaikovsky's music a lot in the old" Smurfs" cartoons.

[lewars1912]

The famous tune in the 1st movement:(:o): 5:32. 16:20.

[samref98]

an example for a teamwork

[sismael]

Well Done!

[DrDeist]

Jeez.. Them far easterners are doing our stuff better than we do.

[DrDeist]

So, like.. how did they get Tchaikovsky to sound so huge? Did they double size of the orchestra er what?

[orwellson]

starting @ 40:48, watch the violinist sitting front right totally laugh to himself at the Maestro, conducting in full "Lamentoso" mode...

[henrycate]

Maestro Chung is definitely no light-weight: look him up on Wikipedia.

[quckneasy]

the string bassists have an unfamiliar(to me, at least) way of holding the bow

[HEBSuzukiStrings]

@quckneasy Looks like most of them are using a German bow hold, as opposed to the French style

[tigerzhk]

Bravo!

[LeLeMooD]

lvl: asian! nice work

[KayleRJEastcott]

bellisimo

[amesakurako1]

there's going to be a concert in London this coming April with this piece and the Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Concerto. I'm just imagining my tears when i hear both that and the last movt of the Tchaik 6th..

[starmuscles]

This is as nice and balanced a version of this symphony I have heard. Im quite impressed I must say. The second movement was played superbly not to quick or slow but with a warmth that can be lacking in some performances. The third movement I must say almost as good as Ashkenazy with the Philharmonia. Just wonderful and refreshing. BRAVO!

[ricardovr1000]

SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL

[shishirth]

The bassoon and clarinet soloists were very good. And the second theme in the first movement had all the emotional gravity and tragic beauty that (more or less) defines this heartrending symphony. And the performance of the second movement is one of the best I have heard.

[lucascassa99]

fantastica !

e fatastica anche la flautista del minuto 5' 50'' ;)

[Fasolt100]

Bellissima esecuzione!

[profdodo1]

Fine performance, fine playing in all departments and excellent soundtrack. Great to see so many young players ENJOYING playing such an emotive work. Fantastic.

[poupaune1]

quelle performance!! :)

[MasterMorty]

Anyone else get chills with every symbol hit in the third movement?

[MasterMorty]

Koreans have such musical emotion :D

[MrEriesal]

Bravooooo, clap, claps from the Philippines...

[ycmstats]

I am so touched by the perfromance....

[chocotastic]

I have very little doubt that Myung Whun Chung is soon going to be one of history's next superconductors.. and it fills me with tremendous pride to say so in that I am also a Korean classical musician. I cannot express enough how much his interpretation of this work has just absolutely blown me away.

[MonicaKn17]

The conductor was so amazed by the song he was crying at the end...

[MsTruNorth]

@MonicaKn17 So was I. That last little bit of the symphony is Tchaivsky's resignation to death. It is his passing.

[MonicaKn17]

This is amazing. I love all the sudden transitions. The first one after the silence came out of nowhere and startled me, and the one somewhere near the end (from bold to soft) was beautiful.

[gonguin57]

impecable y hermosa interpretacion, gracias por brindarnos este hermoso video

[gothgate]

brilliant interpretation. such emotion. thank you for posting this.

[parkhighmountain]

너무나도 작곡가의 마음을 얼마나 잘 표현하고잇는지 눈물이 납니다. 감사해요.

[KrivitskyM]

I am very glad to see, that from 30:08 till 30:19 brass don''t covered the strings group.

[oliverecords]

Excellent, thank you SuperTheseus. Cheers from France.

[samdajellybeenie14]

Massive string section!!!

[OpenCadence78]

Great performance and a great upload, but I respectfully disagree with your thoughts on the movement order. When the audience behaves and nobody interferes (I attended a performance where the audience gave the orchestra a standing ovation after the march...and then started leaving...) with the transition from the 3rd to 4th movement, the sudden shift from fun and triumphant to dejected desperation is really effective.

[tsubasafdf]

I dont like Korean!!

BUT,,,,,

THIS CONUCTOR IS VERY GOOD!!!!!!

HE KNOW "MUSIC"

[tenkre8]

Everybody politely waited for pause on 20:34 to cough their ass off... Great piece otherwise. :D

[MrFluteperson]

@tenkre8 In reality people are scared of silence. Unconsciously people tend to cough during awkward silences lol

[baghend]

@tenkre8 They all cough and hack over there. At least they didn't spit- that's usually the case- China and India esp.

But yes, a marvellous performance of Brilliant music, from the Genius.

-Bill

[tratazz]

Yeah, they show respect to music, to composer, to orquestra... That's the way its supose to be. It's a shame we'll never get that in this monkeyland called Lithuania :(

[sentharia]

So beautiful. The fullness of the emotions in this piece and the way the orchestra expresses them is gorgeous. It's the perfect thing to listen to while writing poetry.

[palmatorio]

Esta sinfonía pone los pelos de punta. Y éste 4º movimiento es sobrecogedor.Esas 6 notas a toda orquesta son.............

[Vivaldisse]

Nice performance! Great orchetra. Hugs from Brasil.

[OlavoBLFilho]

Congratulations First Bassoon. Wonderful. Hugs from Brazil. Hi.

[Mr19850723]

One of the best maestro from asia very nice wonderfull performance good expresion TCHAIKOVSKY 6 SYMPHONY ONE of the difficult symphony to conduct

[mirnavalerio]

Great, clean, and heartfelt performance!

[EarthBoundRules]

This is a great performance of this symphony! The orchestra brings out sections that I didn't even know were in the score. Thanks for the upload!

[301250]

@Astro3100 ...Yes i know as i am a malaysian chinese and unfortunately only know english, malay, chinese and a sprinkling of german, french, italian, spanish (these three, including romanian, are the so-called romance languages and although they are beautiful lingos are, unfortunately, hardly spoken here) and am also now learning some indian. Perhaps, i might learn some korean too in future as, after all, the car that i am driving is a hyundai model. Arigato.

[icylakepaxphile]

@301250 you don't need to learn korean. i'm korean live in taiwan myself, and can speak mandarin, japanese,english, Korean and can read italian, german news papers(70-80%) , and can speak broken Fukenese, but i can say that Korean language is useless one out of Korean penisular. and i know maysia phil is very wonderful too.

[301250]

@icylakepaxphile ...seems you are quite an amazing linguist as rare is the person who is able to speak so many languages, most people are monolingual or at best bi-lingual. Mastering one language, let alone two..or three, is already problematic for most. By the way the so-called Malaysian Phil orch. is a misnomer really as all but a handful of its players are foreigners. Syabas monsieur!

[301250]

It would be wonderful to be able to hear the Seoul Phil. play at the Dewan Filharmonic in Kuala Lumpur. Please make a date!

[301250]

Thank you for posting this great performance, SuperThesus, of Tchaikovsky's valedictory symphony, with both orchestra and maestro Chung in fine form. Notwithstanding a few Occidental players in this ensemble (who no doubt are excellent) he Koreans are the best musicians in E Asia, technically and musically. So once again thank you, danke, merci, grazie, xie xie, terima kasih. sd goh (malaysia)

[Gunfire4hire]

@301250 I wouldn't go so far as to say that Koreans are the best musicians in East Asia, some of the world's greatest authorities in music are from Japan and China.
