I'm so glad you picked Adam's performance to react to, his performance of this piece is the best one ever caught on camera in my opinion.

Not sure how much Shostakovich you have listened too, but you are wasting time on this symphony. It's a hack work. Listen to his best ones - 4, 8, 10 plus the two vocal "Symphonies", 13 and 14. These are among the greatest classical works ever composed. 🙂

Glad to see a revisit. This is a very nerdy audiophile thing but it pains me a little to see you put your hands on the outer cups of you headphones, they are open backs, designed ideally to be heard without anything obscuring the ear cups. Putting your hands on it would mess up the sound signature bc they are suppose to be "open" where sound can be projected mostly free on both side of the drivers. I know your are just enjoying the moment and I don't want to ruin the fun so you do you. Just a FYI😄Great video, cheers.

unglaublich

magic

Tchaikovsky's serenade for strings in c major.

El adagio de esta sinfonía es de una grandeza suprema, majestuosa, es uno de los Zenit de la concepción humana, inigualable ❤

Many congratulations my friend! Feels as though you are already at a hundred thousand subscribers, and feels as though we’ve been enjoying the music you share together for years. Here’s to 10,000 more!

..._ NO SABIAS ESTO ....????

Please react to some baroque music.....like Vivaldi. Please.

51:49 Shostakovich cited here the music of his pupil Georgy Sviridov, from Sviridov's operetta about the time of Revolution.

Valentina has a number of videos on UA-cam,, of which this is one of the most popular. Another video I could suggest is her playing of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2.The song is divided into two parts, each of about 5 minutes duration. The first half is rather slow paced and ponderous, but the second half is memorable for her skills at the keyboard. Usually when I watch it, I just move to the 4:50 point, and at 5 minutes, just hold on to your hat. Valentina Lisitsa is widely regarded as the greatest living classical pianist, and has several hundred thousands of subscribers on UA-cam.

This has always been my favourite mahler moment

"The 22-year-old composer-pianist won the Anton Rubinstein Prize for pianistic accomplishments in an 18 May 1914 performance of the work before the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. He had proposed his own concerto for the programme, reasoning that, though he may not be able to win with a classical concerto, with his own concerto the jury would be “unable to judge whether he was playing well or not.” Competition rules required that the piece be published, so Prokofiev found a publisher willing to produce 20 copies in time for the event. The jury headed by Alexander Glazunov awarded Prokofiev the prize rather reluctantly." - Wiki

This kind of piece is part of the "impressionist" movement that took place during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. There are several "water games", the most well-known being this one and Debussy's. But the very first one, the one that inspired all the others is a piece by Liszt called "Les jeux d'eaux à la villa d'Este". Definitely worth a listen.

Royer isn't well known today as his harpsichord music, unlike that of other contemporary composers, doesn't translate well to the modern piano. Thanks for shedding light on this great composition!

The "Bolero" is the first minimalist piece decades before Minimalism existed. It's not Ravel's best piece but it's hypnotic and awesome. And no-one can say the melody is not beautiful. Besides it's a march and a march is a repetitive music.

The power of the imagination is the most powerful force on the planet. See it. Make it happen. 😊

My friend, please listen to a Sir Georg Solti/Chicago Symphony recording of Mahler 7. Thank me later.

Where should you even begin...enough said. An absolute masterpiece! Nice video. More please.

Check out Heroes of might and Magic Ost. Alot of magical harp and heavenly music in it. Start with "Fortress theme", town theme " and Menu theme. You will love it.

Rubinstein's performance is incredible too, those two performances are the gold standards.

Hi GIDI, could you react to the polonaise op 53 no. 6 but HOROWITZ's interpretation, I know you reacted to Seong Jin cho's, but Horowitz's interpretation is impressive.

The harp is so magical I love classical so much

The best performance is Helen Grimaud's

My favorite piano solo piece of all Time

I discovered you through your “rite of spring” video - my favorite piece of music! another mind blowing experience: Holst “The planets”. It’s a trip!

You look 👀 super !

The Americans invited Dvorak to go there for loadsamoney and very little work, but he turned them down. They then offered him even more money for even less work, and this time he accepted.

51:39 Nice reaction to that off the fingerboard Pizz. “Are you trying to fight me?” 😂

Gidi might be the biggest UA-camr reacting to classical music currently

Please react to Gurre-Lieder from Arnold Schoenberg. It is really amazing. You'll be blown away.

Watch v for vendor

The last movement makes more sense if you know die Meistersinger.

There is a famous cartoon showing him surrounded by just about every instrument in the world except the one in his hand. "Mein Gott!! I haff forgotten ze motor horn. Now I'll have to write another symphony!!"

Just don't harp on it...

Just to know, when you reach Mahler 10 are you listening to the original incomplete version or the completed? I think Cooke's completed version is the definitive Mahler 10 but depends with each person.

To me, the last movement sounds like a pack of wolves chasing a stag through the snow.

Ottorino Respighi was Rimsky-Korsakov's pupil in Saint Petersburg Conservatory

This is so nice for Shostakovich! :)

16:00 🙌

Hi gidi, maybe this is a question that someone already made but, have you ever considered learning how to play the piano? Cause I remember you said it was your fav instrument

Those middle three movements sound like a sanctuary...a personal refuge

Before reacting to his 9th and 10th, it would be great to listen to the previous symphonies again

Sad that you picked that recording... One of the worst recordings i know of the piece. I really can't get to like Bernstein and Mahler. He's doing so much own rewriting. Bernstein does so much that's not in the score

#7 done and dusted...the last movement always makes me think he wrote a bunch of melodies, tossed 'em in a box, shook 'em up, and spilled this out, mixing and matching all the way. Great to see you looking so swank!

nice pick!

This has long been my favorite Mahler symphony. But listening to it this time, I recognized something new: this piece is hilarious.

28:01 That passage really puts a smile on my face (and I see that it does on yours too)!

You should watch live versions of this music so you can see the percussion players
