  • hey wanna know why the majority of these musicians are asian? because it's the HONG KONG SYMPHONY. god people are idiots.

  • For whoever made that comment on African American's not being able to understand this music. That's an ignorant comment since the New world symphony was based on negro spirituals.

  • @eastwood1941 D. is not really sentimental as he is full of sentiment. There's a difference. And if its a weakness let more modern composers catch the 'bug'.

  • @SatchmoSings Agreed. The New World has more singable tunes and hence its greater popularity if not overall greatness.

  • @windstorm1000 Well, within this context I would think that the "New World Symphony" is played more and it should be the other 'way round; this is a much, much better work.

  • Great orchestra--they play with passion and fire--American orchestras could learn from them.

  • @CLASSICALFAN100 whatever it takes!! atleast it will be played--and well. Good music crosses ethnic boundaries!!!!

  • @dieudonneMC I'm happy for your mostly black orchestra, but why should being good strike you as strange? Skin color has nothing to do with ability---OPPORTUNITY to learn and get accomplished is another--but that depends on a lot of different factors. Look what Dudomel did with the Venezualan Youth Orchestra (one of the tops in the world)--many of these superb musicians--kids really-- were brought up in slums but were offered OPPORTUNITY to learn--and soared--obviously.

  • @TheVaughan5 Agreed. I compared this post w the Prague one, & this orchestra is indescribably richer. Of course, everything also depends on the conductor, doesn't it. But these musicians r ready & willing--they r on par w Berlin, etc. Euro. music doens't have to be in their genes (so to speak)--they learn it. & classical orchestras have been around Asia for years--perf.s/audiences have gotten used to it. Now, if Am.syms could do Asian music--and WELL--THAT would be reciprocal!!

  • @SatchmoSings It is played often--check the symphony schedules.

  • @eastwood1941 I don't believe you are using the right word--folksy, yes--if that is considered a weakness, give us more of it!!

  • @eastwood1941 D. has plenty of sentiment but is rarely sentimental. certainly not in this taut work. Brahms sentimental?! No.
