Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4, 3rd mvmt

Barenboim conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a stellar performance of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony in F minor for the opening concert of Carnegie Hall's 1997 season. (BTW, sorry for the poor vid quality; it's obvious YT is dialing down the quality on all videos now to (I suppose) save space--this was a crystal-clear original.

Tchaikovsky, the master of the pizzicato...

Really, hearing this music is fantastic. Hearing it live is INCREDIBLE! :)

...But performing it yourself.... wow, just wow. The feeling is indescribable!! :)

Support your local art programs!

I'm a bassist and have't played violin in ages, but the lady plucking at 5:23 has gotta be my favorite thing. Just kinda slapping the strings hahahahahah

You just know every oboe player loves to be the douche bag who plays the oboe blare at 1:49. :D

@lindabindaboo Saw the Hopkins Symphony Orchestra perform this live earlier and this scherzo: pizzicato ostinato part was amazing. Windwood and brass instruments have a field day in this symphony. I especially enjoyed the piccolo parts, Tchaikovsky truly knew how to compose.

I saw the LSO playing this very music in april this year in London, also on the bill Sarah Chang performing the Bruch Violin Concerto. Just mindblowing evening, nothing better than seeing it played live and watching the 'Divine' Sarah play, best evening entertainment ever !!  Bravo to Classical music and the Musicians who perform it !!

Hands down my favorite movement from this symphony. Although the second movement could very well be the same whilst listening to it. I just love tchaikovsky!
