My hats' off to a very lively performance. The key point I would make is, this is a textbook example of the very highest level of video editing I have ever seen. Compare this performance with any other and pay attention to the visual experience. This is a joy to WATCH as well as to listen. Every instrument is showcased at just the right moment. I love this piece, as well as much of Prokofiev's work, but the attention to PRODUCTION DETAILS, like the camera placement, the microphone placement, and finally, the work of the editors, made this a memorable experience for me. Thank you
Fantastic performance. Both the conductor, the musicians and the videographer didn't miss a trick. A fabulous combination of all the elements: Audio, video, and acoustics.
What a performance! This conductor is not only very adept, he is also very likable and he knows how to inspire passion and confidence in the orchestral. I felt the performers were really enjoying it (most of them anyway)! Bravi Tutti and thanks for sharing! This is my favorite rendition to date (and I have heard a great many)! BTW good sound engineering too!
A terrific performance of one of my favorite works. I join the previous commenters who have praised the video editing, which is especially enjoyable and helpful in a performance of a work by a master of orchestration, as Prokofiev is. The editing helps a listener and watcher understand how Prokofiev did it. In my view it is far better to watch a performance on a video (with good sound) than to listen to a recording. I also have to say that with these videos I gets to feel like I know many orchestra members, even though I am far away, and it is very gratifying to see them recognized, as here, by the conductor after the performance. I also noticed that when Maestro Shokhakimov was offered a solo bow by the orchestra he declined to take it and instead continued to express his thanks to the orchestra until it stood again. Very nice.
Fully agree. 'Seeing' the music. I prefer watching CZcams video to listening to CD. As for this orchestra channel, it's content is fantastic. Lucky people living in Franfurt!
I hear some of the influence of music from Cinderella, especially in the 3rd and 4th movements. In the 3rd movement, that beautiful slow waltz that Prokofiev loves, as well as that wonderful crazy clock at the finale of the 4th mvmt. Great performance! What fun!!
Lovely rendition, very intensively capturing the charactyeristic frisky Prokofiev sound. Despite his youth, Shokhakimov displays very clear ideas and a firm grip of the orchestra, which seems to be in great connection with him.
What a superb performance, in particular the adagio! The fortissimo section toward the end of that movement was enough to raise the dead. Conducting by Shokhakimov, orchestra, sound quality, video quality - all wonderful. Best performance of the 5th I have had the pleasure of hearing. In some Frankfurt Radio Symphony performances, the percussion can be somewhat intrusive - a technical sound engineering issue, perhaps. But, if so, that's an advantage for the 5th - the shade of Prokofiev would be pleased in this instance, I'm sure.
Music is great but in addition the video editing is the best I've seen on a CZcams orchestral work. Most frequently the video focuses excessively on the conductor and often fails to be focused on a particular player when it should be. This one is near perfect. Kudos!
I agree, but what it doesn't capture is the way the melodic line zooms around the orchestra spelling out shapes. You only get that live. I know I'm asking a lot.
Prokofiev presents us with unique,original sounds and style . He reminds one of Rachmoninoff. This work merits inclusion in the, "top 200 of all time" .
That Was Amazing. Superb performance. A little speedy in parts for my taste - just wanted a little more room for it to breathe - but still beautifully executed.
1st movement 0:26 begins | 1:56 military build up | 3:56 explosion to mountain | 8:58 dark build up | 10:24 elegance | 11:10 dark build up 11:49 epic | 2nd movement 13:51 begins | 18:20 Pokemon 3rd movement 22:41 begins | 27:54 dark preview | 29:30 military | 29:39 clumsy | 30:50 eerie | 31:54 eerie elegance 4th movement 35:17 begins | 44:40 ends
The only greater symphony i think I've heard is Brahms 4. There is so much musical imagination on display here. Lyricism brilliantly coupled with a complex clock, always moving fwd, always surprising and delighting as it goes. And some of the very best scoring in any orchestral work. I can't put it above Brahms 4.... but my God it comes close.....
Well I love it too but am tardy about hyperbolic statements about greatest symphony etc. Too many in that century. For eg: Prok's 6th is considered his greatest and I would say IMO it captures the pain of that century more so than his 5th, great and all as it is.
Very difficult to say " the 20th century's greatest symphony" . So many great symphonies to choose from. This is certainly in top 10 along with ( my personal opinion) Shostakovich 8th....Nielsen 4th...... Elgar 1st.......Mahler 9th.......Walton 1st..just to name a few greats.
Guys, do you hear that sounds like John Williams music? Im absolutely sure Williams score was inspired by Prokofiev and other geniuses. Great pice ! So much fun
Dieses Werk is so genial, dass ich fast non stop Gänsehaut bekomme. Und muss sagen: dies ist ne ganz tolle Aufführung. Mit wohl einer Ausnahme: die Stelle - ab 32:22 - diese kosmische Stelle, wo sich andere Welten aufschließen. Mensch, die Sechstolen beim Klavier sind doch viel viel zu laut und konkret. Und dabei ist es nur die Begleitung. Die sollten nur so flackern, wie so n Klangteppich. Denn dieses ehrliche "taka taka taka, taka taka taka" macht doch die Magie dieser Stelle total kaputt. Ansonsten wie gesagt 'ne sehr sehr gute Aufführung :)
Perhaps my all-time favorite orchestral music (that's a tough call)! Inspired performance! My German is woeful but was the oboeist feted during the many encores retiring? Anybody?
The brilliantly gnarly, and also beautiful polytonal part at around 4:00 is...interesting. I have always been unsure what exactly the emotion is supposed to be at this point. Which isn't a bad thing, I wonder if potentially it's just meant to be two different emotions felt almost simultaneously, somehow. Lots of powerful ambiguous, and also at times ambivalent emotions throughout the whole symphony, but it is also elegant and structurally very strong, composed with a great sense of logic throughout.
With my limited German i understood that he was retiring after 36 yrs with the orchestra and was wished a long retirement and good health ...GEZUNTHEIT!
Prokofiev was never a great symphonist and he is rightly better known for his operas and ballet music. But the Fifth is worth listening to...perhaps also because it is reminiscent of his ballet music in places.
Это не музыка для сказок; это взгляд на окружающую действительность как на полубессмысленную марионеточную суету. Думаете, Прокофьев в 1948 г. просто так "получил по шапке" (с остальными вместе)?
Warum Langeweile ??? Können Sie es mir erklären? War der Dirigent gelangweilt oder Tympanist oder Pikkoloflöte gelangweilt? Ich denke Sie haben nicht gespielt......... :-[
Ich glaube, das Problem mit der Langweile liegt nicht an der Musik oder Aufführung, sondern an Ihnen. Seit ich diese Symphonie in 1997 zum ersten Mal gespielt habe, ist sie zu meinem Lieblingsstück geworden, in dem ich jeden Ton kenne. Dieses Werk is so genial, dass ich fast non stop Gänsehaut bekomme. Und muss sagen: dies ist ne ganz tolle Aufführung. Mit wohl einer Ausnahme: die Stelle - ab 32:22 - diese kosmische Stelle, wo sich andere Welten aufschließen.

지휘자 연주자 다 훌륭한데 비디오 찰영은 특별히 훌륭하다. 음악을 잘 알고 적절하게 연주자 모습을 포착해서 한층 몰입할 수 있게해준다. 아주 멋진 공연을 보게해줘서 감사합니다

I very much share that sentiment, I love watching this particular orchestra for such high attention to visual details :)

Prokofiev the Magican, enchanting music, realy great performance, bravo!!

Lucky people living in Franfurt!
Omg the twisted mechanical conducting @ 44:17 is so spot on!❤
Saw this symphony last night with Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. I'm listening again because I love this piece
Life!! Super!!! Forever 80' s!!!!!
hope they perform it again soon; missed it the last time :(
My beloved Prokofiev Symphony!

This performance was EPIC....Amazing, the depth, precision, and range. Wow wow wow!! The 3rd movement.....ahhh.
Frankfurt Radio does it again, with excellence !
Yes! The third movement!!!
What a superb performance, in particular the adagio! The fortissimo section toward the end of that movement was enough to raise the dead. Conducting by Shokhakimov, orchestra, sound quality, video quality - all wonderful. Best performance of the 5th I have had the pleasure of hearing.

와우! 이런 곡을 이렇게 생동감있게 들을 수 있다니. 내 귀가 의심될 정도. 지휘자 Shokhakimov의 앞으로 행로가 더욱 기대됩니다.
Prokofiev presents us with unique,original sounds and style . He reminds one of Rachmoninoff. This work merits inclusion in the, "top 200 of all time" .
I say top 10. This composition is absolute perfection to me.
there is wonderful lyricism in this work.
Extraordinary young chef. I have just heard him live in Dvorak and I was just astonished because I didn't know him at all.
No baton lets the hands convey guidance on a much detailed level and way ..
That Was Amazing. Superb performance. A little speedy in parts for my taste - just wanted a little more room for it to breathe - but still beautifully executed.

Andrew Loyd Webfoot also "borrowed" from SP. But that's OK. It's great flattery
Obrigado amigos e amigas musicistas!
Fabulous.
The second movement reminds me of a train trip, with a break at the station, then the train slowly and laboriously resumes its journey.

Great playing. Thanks for posting.
Great!!!
素晴らしい才能が出てきましたね。
Bravo!
這是我最喜歡的曲子之一！浪漫樂派聽多了再來聽這首,會感到一股清新新鮮的感覺！雖然第一次聽,沒認真聽其詮釋(不知道音場是否稍近了一點！？),但末樂章明顯很起勁！演奏素質非常高！而最後的日落也可聽出來！！！
補充：最後的視覺焦點是由天雲際線移到海面上,遙感(向後瞥看)天雲際線日落的光芒！？

The player retired after the concert I guess.

Mov 1 Figure 22 10:21
Музыка для сказок ; уход от действительности в область фантазий и игрушечных образов .

Es ist sehr schwierig, dieses großartige Meisterwerk ohne Langweile zu spielen. Diese Aufführung ist leider nicht eine Ausnahme davon.
Ich stimme Ihnen bei.
