Los Angeles Philharmonic
About

Official Site: http://wdch.laphil.com/


Each year since its founding in 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been hailed as southern Californias leading performing arts institution.
Today, under the dynamic leadership of Esa-Pekka Salonen, who became the orchestras tenth music director in 1992, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the worlds outstanding orchestras. Both at home and abroad it has, as the Berliner Zeitung stated, proved that it belongs among the best in the United States.
On Sony Classical, the orchestra records with Esa-Pekka Salonen. With violinist Joshua Bell, Salonen and the orchestra have also recorded the violin concertos by Sibelius and Goldmark (SK 65949). For the Bach bicentennial in 2000, Salonen and the orchestra recorded a critically acclaimed disc of orchestral transcriptions of works by J.S. Bach (SK 89012). Their next recording, already available in some countries, presents violin concertos by Sibelius and Goldmark (SK 65949) performed with Joshua Bell. Earlier in 2000, Plácido Domingo and Bo Skovhus joined them in a recording of Mahlers Das Lied von der Erde, in the version for tenor and baritone (SK 60646).
Although the orchestra has recorded late Romantic repertoire for Sony Classical -- Bruckners Fourth Symhony and Mahlers Third Symphony (S2K 60250) -- most of its Sony Classical recordings feature twentieth-century works. Most recently, they include piano concertos by Shostakovich, with Yefim Bronfman (SK 60677), and music by Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas (SK 60676), all with Salonen. The orchestras recording of the Bartók piano concertos, with Salonen and pianist Yefim Bronfman, won a 1996 Grammy Award, and their disc of Bernard Herrmanns film music for Alfred Hitchcock, led by Salonen, was a Grammy nominee the following year.
In the last decade, Salonens tenure at the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been highlighted by a strong commitment to new music. His activities with the orchestra have included world premieres of new works by composers John Adams, Bernard Rands, Rodion Shchedrin, Steven Stucky and Salonen himself, critically acclaimed festivals of music by Ligeti and Stravinsky, and appearances at the Ojai Festival.
During the 2001-2002 concert season, Salonen will conduct 12 weeks of subscription concerts with the Philharmonic, followed by a two-week tour of Japan in May 2002. In August and September 2002 they return to Europe for a three-week tour of summer festivals. In January 2001, Salonen returned to his Philharmonic post following a one-year composing sabbatical.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic was established in 1919 by a wealthy amateur musician named William Andrews Clark Jr. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met their first rehearsal on October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had recruited from the St.
Paul (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the orchestras premiere performance before a capacity crowd of 2,400 in Trinity Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. He continued as music director until his death in 1927. Since then, nine renowned conductors have served in that capacity Georg Schéevoigt (1927-29); Artur Rodzinski (1929-33); Otto Klemperer (1933-39); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-56); Eduard van Beinum (1956-59); Zubin Mehta (1961-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-84); André Previn (1985-89) and, since the beginning of the 1992-93 season, Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Since its first season, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has made downtown Los Angeles its winter home. It was in December 1964 that it began its residency at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center of Los Angeles County. Today, the orchestra looks forward to another move, to what will the fourth performing venue in the Music Center complex the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Since 1922, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras summer home has been the world-famous Hollywood Bowl.

Ευχαριστώ τον καλό μου φίλο Στάθη Βλασσόπουλο (τον πατριάρχη του hi-end) για την προσφορά του στα βιντεό μου (μουσικές γνώσεις και προτάσεις).

Ρε φίλε το δικό σου και το κογιανισκάτσι...

πραγματικά απίστευτο ! 5 *****

[OMIROS2]

Ακριβώς, χαίρομαι που αναγνώρισες τις σκηνές απο την εκπληκτική τρολογία Κογιανισκάτσι,ναγουακατσι,παγο­υακατσι(κάπως έτσι είναι οι τίτλοι). Ευχαριστώ

[kyrioskoks]

Θαρρώ ότι πρόκειται για ένα προφητικό ποίημα που όμως δεν έχει καμιά προφητεία μέσα του, έχει μόνο πραγματικότητα! Ένα αριστούργημα, ικανό να προσγειώσει και τον πιο αμετανόητο αιθεροβάμονα οπτιμιστή...

Και το πετυχαίνει.

Τρέχεις μόνος σου, φιλαράκο, το ξέρεις;

[OMIROS2]

Λέγε ότι θές εσύ, εγώ θέλω την Τζίλντα Ριγολέτου, ρε τι μου έκανες με τη λυρική..

Καλή χρονιά αγαπημένη μου φίλη.. αν και άρχισε με βομβαρδισμούς αμμάχων, μόνο καλή δεν την βλέπω..φιλιά πολλά

[XRISTINAGV]

Μακάρι να ήταν Requiem για ότι αφήνουμε πίσω μας περνώντας το κατώφλι του νέου έτους..Αλλά φοβάμαι ότι είναι Prelude για τα επερχόμενα,μόλις σβήσουν τα φώτα της γιορτής!

Είσαι πάντα ένα βήμα μπροστά καλέ μου!!!

[OMIROS2]

Το έπιασες το νόημα όπως πάντα Χριστίνα, μπάβο σου. Σε ευχαριστώ.

[Tsobanian]

Εκτός από Leopold Stokowski να θυμόμαστε οτι και άλλοι έχουν ενορχηστρώσει την Τοκκάτα και Φούγκα σε Ρε Ελλάσονα : Leonidas Leonardi, Rene Leibowitz, Sir Henry J. Wood, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Fabien Sevitzky, Lucien Cailliet, Alois Melichar, Eugen Szenkar, Eugene Ormandy, Mikhail Pletnev......

the cool part starts at 4;30

[Atyo473]

its good quality of sound

[Tomtaroo]

I love how this interpretation merges the movement into the fugue section so much, definitely my favourite interpretation. I like the presentations idea as well v thought provoking.

[HarmoniumLibri]

I'm sorry, but that video is already awful!!!! The only good thing is the Bach's Toccata and Fugue and de Salonen's performance. I think a better video should have been done for that great recording.

[tjames44444]

i cant say that im disappointied... it is rather well put... although the strings did take the cake...

[brucewayne909]

I would agree. this interpretation seems to be faster than it should be..this does not come close to the Czech Philharmonic version as conducted by Leopold Stokowski ( which was reissued on audiophile heavy vinyl in japan under the super analoque disc label , originally on the London ( ffrr ) label ) it really goes without saying that the european orchestras are vastly superior to the american orchestras
