- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy Overture, TH 42 / ČW 39
Iceland Symphony Orchestra
Gennady Rozdestvensky, conductor
From a concert in Harpa, Reykjavik, April 9th, 2015. - Hudba
Unforgiveablely underrated.
Peter at his creative best...which was most the time!
I'm following a lot of his lesser known works. And my regard for him as one of the greatest composers that ever lived has been enhanced.
The music of Heaven-Tchaikovsky
So Nice to see an orchestra performing one of these wonderful orchestra suites of Tchaikowsky...too rarely performed.
This almost became Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony: 'But what's in a name?' he wrote to a friend. Had it been one of his enumerated symphonies then it would have reached a far wider audience and given the credit this wonderful and endlessly creative music deserves. This is one of my favourite Tchaikovsky pieces (and I've been studying him for over 50 years) and I'm at a loss to understand why it isn't more widely performed. I didn't like the rather ponderous tempi at times and there were unfortunate cuts (!) but the orchestra played well under Rozdestvensky's experienced guidance. Gorgeous music. Spread the word!
Yes. it is beautiful.thank you very much ! many times I had concerts with Russian orchestras in Korea. many Tchailkovsky's symphonies(1~6). but I will try this beautiful music in later.
It is a work with beautiful music, but perhaps it is a bit intimate, introspective and the final movement is of a character that evokes his native Russia with more evidence, a little more wild. Maybe that's why it is not such a popular work, but we enjoy it and love it.
You prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Cesar Mathias instablaster =)
@Winston Jamir I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
... ma che meravigliosa gestualità di questo grandissimo direttore ! ... e che risultati si ottengono !
This is a remarkable performance by a veteran Russian conductor and the Iceland Symphony. The playing is simply ravishing. One of the best performances I have ever seen on CZcams. A must see for Tchaikovsky fans, IMO.
IMHO, the more recent Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra performance is much better, more vibrant, and colorful and better tempos. czcams.com/video/qd19gEdDmQs/video.html
meh.
@@andrewbraid1815 Yes, much, much better. Interesting how few strings needed for balance. Amplified? They are a great orchestra.
Wonderful, beautiful music. Great !
12:22 2nd movement
19:53 3rd movement
25:42 4th movement
Buenísima interpretación, contenida y a la vez expresiva. ¡Bravo!
The interpretation by Sir Neville Marriner is excellent.
Allora vai ad ascoltare il buon Marriner!
35:40 - that takes skill!!
I am surprised at the negative comments here. I thought the orchestra was ravishing.
His 4 ork suites are s00000 lovely!
Wonder if I can get all four suites at a used DVD story? hummm?
Muito linda esta recente gravação desta opera imortal Heliana
Fabulous!!!
I love this moment 16:29
Awesome performance and recording!
Bravo ❤❤❤
Beautiful music - perfectly played
Merci beaucoup: GG
チャイコフスキイの組曲第3番、演奏会のプログラムに入ることはまれですが、このロジェストヴェンスキイの指揮で聴くと交響曲に匹敵するような充実した音楽である事が分かりました。映像も音質も綺麗で、この作品を再評価する貴重な演奏記録になれば良いですね。アイスランド交響楽団もとてもいいオーケストラですね。
Lovely, a bit slow in places, especially Tchaikovsky specifies metronome marks in his score.
Lovely music. This performance is around. ten minutes shorter than others on YT,
Words to opening movement, "In the beautiful garden of prayer," a sort of secular hymn.
Where does the quote come from? Is it Tschaikowsky's?
Possibly a young wive's tale.
Stórglæsileg hljómsveit og frábær fyrsta fiðla! Góður strákur! Mikil aðdáun á hinum mikla rússneska leikstjóra.
I might be a lone voice here - but I like and admire the way GR interprets the final movement, and the piece as a whole. It reminds me of a live concert I attended many years back with Alexander Lazarev at the helm. I too was surprised at the slow tempo he took with the Polacca, but it soon became apparent that it really worked! I don't know the directions on the score, but ,to my ears, Tchaikovsky's music surely lends itself to rubato and ralls/rits to emphasise the melody line and the dynamics. The slower tempo provides the ideal environment and feeling of 'maestoso' the movement deserves. Those interpretations with the fast tempi are valid, I suppose, - but it prompts the phrase I often use when listening to musicians who excel at bravura - 'just because you can doesn't mean you should'.
Dedicated to Antonin Dvořák
The one by Sir Neville Marriner.
very nice, but tempos are very slow...Detroit Symphony with Neeme Jarvis is perfection...more rousing and deliberate....
"Олимпийское спокойствие"
Why this cut in the polish movement ?
30:11 Dies Irae
thanks, you saved me some time looking for it!
Many thanks!
It sounds like totentanz by Liszt
For me, not surprisingly terrific. Tchaikovsky is one of my favorites.
Finale needs more oooph. Tempos are lagging.
I always like Gennadi's interpretations of Tchaikovsky but here the Polonaise at the end is a bit too lumbering; it just needs to be ostinato.
I agree completely. Still great music, though, isn't it? :)
@@michaelpaulsmith4619 Sure is!
Yes, and why have they cut the middle section of the Polacca? It´s criminal!!!
At ca cazz
A slower interpretation I am not fond of. The 3rd mvmt was ruined with the drumming and clip-clop percussion.
Exactly! And the finale Polonaise should bring the house down but it does not even shake it in this performance.
@@abe_48 ... I fear I have to agree. GR was a wonderful conductor when at his best but he was 84 years old at the time of this concert and as with many conductors in their old age, such as Klemperer, he was slowing down and giving tired performances. A pity really, as this work deserves a more lively and vital performance.
I enjoyed this performance but with reservations. Undoubtedly the ISO is a skilled orchestra who play well and I can't fault that. However, as longtime admirer of GR's performances I think his choice of tempi were dubious. The fact that it may have been shorter than other versions is irrelevant, It lacked excitement and left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
Why have they cut the middle section of the final polacca? Very bad!!!
@John Smith ...and the most criminal of all, what happened to the Rococo Variations!
To balance the slow tempi
Оркестр с задачей не справился, увы..(
Not one of the musicians look at the conductor😊
Does it means his magnetism is enough?
They wonder about his miserable tempi and the dasaster with the scerzo
With all due respect to this icon of a Tschaikowsky-conductor: This is the worst interpretation -and I know a lot of them- of this wonderful suite. The scerzo is a desaster. The chosen tempo ruins it. It is a tough piece, hard to play with these extreme syncopes in the doublebasses, is a monster, but it works only with speed. GR manipulates the score and adds rhythm instruments which are not set by the composer to stabilize his slow tempo. Look at the faces of the musicians....
Too slow.
This orchestra is having a hard time playing Rozhdestvensky's notoriously slow tempos. You can see some frustration with the musicians in his expression from time to time. I have heard many recordings made by this orchestra and they're usually fairly competent. Here it's a real chore listening to them. Great music poor performance ! So many "great" reviews here. What are you hearing that I'm not hearing...and seeing ?
Tchaikovsky was a great employer of repeated phrases.
Во второй части оркестр жёстко насрал
One of the worst interpretations of this work I've ever heard.
I quite agree, especially the wonderful Theme and Variations. Pletnev gives a much better performance. This is dull and pedestrian, to say the very least.
Although seemingly over-restrained, ponderous....I prefer his slower majestic tempi. And the Variation at 39:54 (but for the Cherevichki conclusion and 2nd Piano Concerto 2nd Mvt, the greatest in the Tschaikowsky canon) is pure lush velvet. The violinist in the preceding Variation, too, excels! Also can't fail to adore Gennadi's 'minimalist' conducting style
Interesting - I would love to be able to sit with two people, one like yourself and another like almost any other listener who commented here and try to understand the difference in what you are experiencing. Perhaps it is nothing more than taste, perhaps something else. This is not one of my favorite Tchaikovsky pieces, but, I do not have the expertise to comment on the quality of the performance.
@@michaelpaulsmith4619 Yes, and why have they cut the middle section of the final Polacca? It´s criminal!
Tchaikovsky at his most mediocre.
For me, not surprisingly terrific. Tchaikovsky is one of my favorites.
