The great tragedy of Schoenberg is how misunderstood he is even to this very day, over a hundred years later! Many students first introduction to Schoenberg is his 12-tone and Serial music, however, I believe if people were introduced to Schoenberg through his early works, they could develop an understanding on how atonality was a natural consequence of what Beethoven, Wagner, and Mahler were already doing. (and perhaps even develop an ear to appreciate it) Such a shame that many people think "Schoenberg = bad!"
It is so wonderful to watch the musicians engaging with one another during the performance. They rely on one another rather than a conductor. It feels so alive and intimate. This really is my favorite channel for this kind of music. Thank you all for your commitment to craft and to fine music.
Never heard a performance where the players expressed the poem so beautifully. Makes all the difference in the world.
Bravissimo tutti Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, for the musicians who performed this masterpiece, and to the whole organization for putting out absolute top tier performances and productions. You are the go-to selection for any live performance of any work you've ever performed.
It's wonderful to see the NCO's rendition of the original sextet version of Verklärte Nacht. I loved this performance not only for the sublime musicality of the musicians, but also how the camerawork and the changes therein highlight important passages, or even just gnarly parts worth noticing. The individual parts sang together quite uniquely dominating and focused in the stripped down version, as in you can always clearly hear what each part is doing. That was lovely to experience.
This performance also highlights just how impressive the scope of the previous NCO full orchestra version was, especially from heart and sans conductor. I wish this version got the amazing audience of the former, but I do suppose they remind you that this is an actual performance with all the pressure of real people intimately listening to you. The mic spikes at the end were unpleasant though, but I understand they are just a part of live performances.
Well done once again to the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, and especially to the amazing 6 performers who tirelessly worked this seminal work of art into their lives and poured it back to us, the benefactors. As a violist, NCO's complete treatment of this piece makes me infinitely thankful that it was written for, and can only fully be imagined by, toy wooden boxes tucked into your body and good company.
Bravissimo once again, from New Orleans, LA
Totally agree. I would also mention the performers' enjoyment of the music shines through. And what a civilised audience. No coughing, no extraneous noises, and silence at the end until the performers relaxed their bows. Excellent in every way.
I didnt know about Dehmel´s poem, that was an inspiration for Schönberg. Thank you for this, and thank you all six for this wonderful music.
Exquisite , what a beautiful video , for those of us not there it’s transformative , soothing , uplifting watching the emotions on the faces of musicians . Thank you dear people & Auden for this delicate offering ❤🙏🏻🤗
What a wonderful, exquisite performance. Thank you for this experience
Magnificent piece and players. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Gorgeous meticulous performance, BRAVI TUTTI! I wonder what is the connexion between Verklärte Nacht and Strauss' 'Metamorphosen' ?
Espectacular! Un placer verlos interpretar así.
Thank You,Norge ore Norway.Excuse me, l dont know, wich the right art to a Skript.
Thank you. I have subscribed to your posts. I think you are fantastic - coming from a violist that was once a member of a world famous orchestra. I understand the need to monetize your posts, you deserve tons of money, but when ads pop up all the way through this it ruins the experience for me. Again you are all artists of the highest caliber.
Try AdBlock Plus. No advertising. And I think you are mistaken, the money for advertising goes not to Norwegian Chamber Music but to CZcams.
I've recently subscribed to CZcams and there are no ads interrupting performances. I agree, ads are disruptive but that is really Google, not this fine troupe who are seeking money. Yes, they do receive some form of compensation but alas, should we expect it to be free? I feel my subscription to CZcams is one of the best investments I make.
A powerfully sensitive and impassioned performance, with close rapport among the musicians. It was helpful to have the programmatic poem read at the beginning (the music starts at 3:34).The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra also performs Schoenberg's expanded version for full chamber orchestra including double basses. Adding to the atmosphere, the musicians in that video memorized their parts and play in semi-darkness, embodying the nocturnal theme. czcams.com/video/5h5Xc-rUef4/video.html
