    Не могу пройти мимо и не оставить комментарий. Мой любимый композитор Сергей Рахманинов. Благодарю за эмоции, которые проживаешь, слушая гениальное исполнение этого потрясающего произведения. Музыканты такие живые, молодые и красивые. Низкий поклон талантливому дирижеру Платонову, замечательной работе операторов. Спасибо за прекрасные удивительные комментарии. Какое счастье, что когда-то давным-давно я закончила музыкальную школу. Музыка не стала моей профессией, но я научилась ее слушать и слышать, и она стала Большой Любовью моей жизни. Всем мира и добра.

    Another visit, and STILL...Marvelous in ALL ways. The 1st movement, incredibly muscular, yet never lacking the melodic, rhythmic and and dynamic subtleties of the Master. Remarkable sound considering the tight venue. Entertaining video presentation...but most off all, perhaps the best video version of this highly underrated symphonic masterpiece. Beautifully propulsive, but never rushed. Lovely close to the 2nd movement. The 3rd movement showcases several of the musicians, and all stepped up beautifully. This movement can be at times difficult to "hold together", due to the almost ad-lib nature of the tempo changes, rubato, etc. The dynamics are varied and in this case beautifully judged, There is no lack of the almost "spooky element" Rachmaninoff injects, similar to his "Isle of the Dead." Towards the end of the movement, lovely contributions from the Concertmaster and several others.Marvelously conducted and performed. Bravo!!

    The greatest performance of this mighty symphony I have EVER heard.

  • @IMAWriterRobJ
    @IMAWriterRobJ Před 7 lety +22

    Quite simply, AMAZING!. Rachminoff at it's highest level. Dedicated, focused, musical playing by every member of this tremendously gifted collection of musicians. Platonov's interpretation of this symphony is among the best I've ever heard, maybe 30 in my long life, as "Previn-ish" as anyone could ever want...a tribute to Maestro Platonov. IMO, he made this symphony as important, vital, and touching as the more famous and loved 2nd Symphony.
    Just a little note that, for me that "rush" to the Chinese gong was just plain thrilling. You KNOW it's coming, but Platonov was RELENTLESS, and his musicians responded with great gusto. Wonderful, as was every second of this performance. Special mention for the intonation of the horns, always spot on, the duo flutes in perfect sync, spectacular percussion, and beautiful string tone. Actually, every section of this orchestra was ON from the first downbeat.
    Though somewhat re-written by the composer years after the original performance, one hopes the so-called "critic" of the PREMIER, César Qui is rotting in Hades. That said, the subsequent breakdown and restoration of Rachmaninoff by Dr Dahl (paraphrasing)"You will write a GREAT Concerto" may allow me SOMEDAY to forgive the critic.
    It was refreshing to hear a DRY venue, which gave this performance a feeling of being there. The mic-ing is intimate, and almost seems inside the orchestra. If you attend a concert, generally the sound is more mono than the artificially wide stereo heard on CDs and live performances. For me, this gave the performance even more impact. Kudos to the engineers.
    I would obviously be a fool if I didn't mention that this as a spectacularly good looking bunch of musicians.Yes, easy on the eyes, for sure. However, this is an IMPORTANT performance MUSICALLY, especially for those who have not given the NO1 much of a listen. Listen to THIS one! Bravo!!!!!

He must've had too much vodka before he came to the concert and besides was jealous of Rach's brilliance compared to his pathetic mediocrity. He ruined 4 good years of a composer who was light years ahead of him. For this I will not forgive him.

    Awe-inspiring music, wonderful performance. There is nothing in the whole symphonic repertoire that combines power and pathos, tenderness and tragedy in such an organic way. The final movement - OMG! A headlong rush towards a catastrophe, followed by the emergence of some overwhelming power. The transition to the major key at the conclusion gives us some reason for optimism in a dark world. One might be excused for thinking that Rach had a premonition about the cataclysm of war and revolution that was soon to engulf the world, and his own country, in particular.

    • @ZeldaMarshall
      @ZeldaMarshall Před 3 lety +3

      Are you referring to César Cui as the "unsympathetic critic"? I would agree, & I would even go so far as to suggest that much of Cui's review had been written in advance of hearing a single note of the symphony. In other words, I think Cui was biased against Rakhmaninov & condemned the symphony in advance. The reason is that Cui represented the new "Nationalism" in Russian Music. Not only was he a member of the Mighty FIve (Borodin, Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Cui), he established the group & gave it its name, & hailed it as the way of Russia's own music, ready to throw off the shackles & restraints of the heavily German-based Conservatory tradition. So of course, as a critic, he would have been especially harsh on composers who stayed true to Conservatory traditions & German-based forms -- composers such as Anton Rubinstein, Pyotr Chaikovski (or "Tchaikovsky" if you follow the French tradition of transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet), & of course, Rakhmaninov. So as I said, since Rakhmaninov stayed true to the Conservatory tradition, & Cui was fiercely defensive of the new Nationalism movement, I would suggest that Cui hated Rakhmaninov's symphony before he even heard it.

      @@georgealderson4424 Indeed, this is the victory that history gave Rakhmaninov over Cui: Rakhmaninov's compositions are remembered, whereas Cui's are not (not in the West, anyway).
      Rakhmaninov himself might have been more inclined to reconciliation, judging by his relation with Glazounov, the composer who also conducted the première of this symphony # 1 while (allegedly) drunk. And then years later, when Rakhmaninov offered Glazounov a copy of his 4th piano concerto for feedback, Glazounov deliberately abandoned the score in a taxicab that he rode. But one of Glazounov's last compositions was a concerto for saxophone & orchestra, & Rakhmaninov included a significant passage for saxophone in his own last composition, the Op. 45 Symphonic Dances, supposedly in a posthumous gesture of reconciliation to Glazounov (who had died in 1936 -- Rakhmaninov's Op.45 dates from 1940).

    Great symphony and inspired performance - moments of haunting beauty, energy and exuberance. Tchaikovsky admired Rachmaninov's early work but died suddenly and so was unable to fulfill his promise to conduct his compositions.

      Imagine if Tchaikovsky lived to conduct this. He would've saved Rachmaninov from suffering so terribly after Glazunov butchered it.

    Наконец я ее послушала! Читать критиков, сопереживать одному из любимых композиторов за провал - это одно, и другое дело, после прослушивания понять, что провал был закономерным, наверное если бы ее приняли, не родился бы подлинный Рахманинов, с его ярчайшим мелодизмом и масштабным драматургическим мышлением. В этой симфонии нету ярких тем, которые запоминанются и которые хочется напеть, много перекличек среди разных групп оркестровых инструментов, обрывки мелодий, невнятные секвенции, такое ощущение что это набор упражнений для начинающего композитора, которые каким то образом соединились воедино. Спасибо дирижеру за такую возможность познакомиться с редко исполняемым произведением!

    I must have heard 80% of the available recordings and most of the live concerts recorded here on CZcams. This gets my vote for the best. Everyone else seems to miss one vital element or another, whether the details are slurred over in the excitement at a tempo which is just a little too fast (Ashkenazy and Svetlanov, his first one on Melodyia/Angel) or by someone who adores the details, brings them out successfully, but loses the excitement of the whole (Litton and others.) Ormandy, Previn, and others seem content to stand outside of the music and present a generalized, somewhat passionless, charcoal sketch of this sprawling, colorful epic. Dutoit and Maazel come maddeningly close to capturing the work but contain serious blemishes - especially in the finale. Jansons, Kogan, and Petrenko are all good but linger behind the best of the best. (Usually, it's just one or two aspects of the score that just don't work - as if the conductor can't quite get this head around the whole score. They and even Pawel Przytocki with an average but well-drilled Polish Orchestra will do if you aren't a perfectionist.) But THIS is the one. This is the keeper. Somebody needs to ship these fine young players and their conductor to a better hall and record them in this work for posterity.

    Back again - I have still not heard a better performance of this under-rated symphony. Glazunov was reportedly drunk when he conducted the first performance. Perhaps Rachmaninov forgave him as there are some lovely phrases from the saxophone in Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances - perhaps a fond gesture towards Glazunov's very good saxophone concerto

      Let's not forget that at this point Glazunov was going through his own crisis, from which he never recovered (and which contributed to his alcoholism). The real villains, in my book, are the orchestra, who didn't rehearse this complex piece and were quite content to let it all go to ruin.

      Diese Musik hat Rachmaninow komponiert. Russische Musikkritiker und russisches Publikum haben sie gehasst und verrissen. Rachmaninow war sehr betroffen und wollte nicht mehr leben. Er war 3 Jahre in psychischen Behandlung deswegen. Im Moment ist russisches Folk schwer krank. Es unterstützt seinen Diktator. Was hat bitte schön Rachmaninows Musik mit der aktuellen Bevölkerung in Russland zu tun. Wo ist der Zusammenhang? Ich bin Russin und entsetzt, angewidert und tot traurig darüber, was Russland jetzt macht.
