Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4, 4th 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. Barenboim's "non-conducting," almost DARING the orchestra not to stay together, is an example of his mastery. Please don't waste space commenting on his "non-classic" technique--only complete plebians and marching band students need a human metronome with an invariant beat pattern. Barenboim's a genius, plain and simple.

I literally just sat here and looped the first 5 seconds over and over again. It's friggin epic.

First watched this superlative performance live on PBS and I was extremely impressed despite the vastly inferior audio transmission quality and the utterly incompetent PBS staff in restricting the dynamic range. This performance under Barenboim is superior to all previous performances under George Solti, Riccardo Muti and others.

5:18 from right to left: Gene Pokorny (tuba), Charles Vernon (bass trombone), Michael Mulcahy (trombone), Jay Friedman (trombone). THE best low brass section in the world. Simply amazing.

The NY is audience is already in mid-applause when Barenboim cuts the band off. Would have given anything to be there for that performance.

@elaineweaver12 potentially because of the conducting

At 57 seconds in it sounds like Leonard Bernstein for a little.
