You can always tell the comments from non-orchestral players on here. I've played that Horn solo and, as others have said, the concentration, poise, constant attention to intonation - especially in the duet with the lead violin - is immense. It is a wonderful moment when it's obvious to me that Richard Strauss pays homage, not just to his wife (in the solo violin part) but also to his horn-playing father. It's so moving. You cannot get playing like this with a gun to your head!
the expression is in the music they play, not the expression of their faces. they are the world top professionals playing deeply emotionally profound music with enormous technical and artistic challenges. please respect them
it's called "feeling the music"... I am telling you: you sit there in these ranks on stage, you barely dare to breath during such sections... the pressure to not mess up is enormous...
@kofatec3563 I disagree, as a listener who's heard this piece numerous times I do not get the same feeling with other groups, take Vienna Philharmonic for example. I get that it's one thing go concentrate and be focused, but this performance seems more fear based than "feeling the music" as you describe
Have you ever played in such a position in a professional orchestra? Looking from outside it might look easy but I can tell you, the pressure is enormous. I have the greatest respect for musicians of this calibre.

Unglaublicher Sound und tolle Intonation - musikalisch sowieso!

Love the concertmaster- wonderfully played!
Congratulations 👏
Stop.
Grande mati
Die Frau von Strauss hiess doch Pauline.
why do they all play like they have a gun to their head?

@@raulmariadignola3792 actually yes I have and that's why I made the comment
Amazing! Why don’t you tell Matias Pineira himself about your tips? I bet he could learn a lot from you!
