When I see all these beautiful young musicians playing one of the great masterpiece symphonies, I optimistically believe that such classical music will never die out and will continue to enthrall millions though the ages.
We can but hope. I know I am dispirited when I sit in an audience and see few young people among the audience, but we must do what we can to keep this beauty alive, forever.
@@Swm9445 If there is an audience, since 2020 also many musicians quit because of the economy. Fewer people have money to attend concerts these days, it's all part of agenda 2030, culture is not part of that plan, just for the elite.
The second movement is my favorite symphonic movement Brahms wrote. His Second piano concerto and Paganini Variations, Books I and 2 were equalled,😊 but never surpassed.😊
I was first trumpet in my high school band, jazz and orchestra, and I truly miss being a part of both. Just being part of a huge group, and making beautiful music together as a whole, is something indescribable.
This is the best performance of Brahms 3 I ever heard. Divine!!!! Watch the pleasure and energy of players- this is real art of orchestra playing. Congratulations for musitions and conducter.
Oh my goodness, that moment in the 3rd Movement (Around 28:00) where the music sounds so close to crossing the line back into a major key before resolving into an exclamation of despair and frustration. That's the stuff right there.
My favorite passage of all music in the UNIVERSE is in this symphony, mvt. 1, starting about 6:30, to about 7:20. At the moment I can't begin to describe the feelings it gives me.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Life is so much more the richer because of such deep beauty and soul expressed with energy, passion, devotion to excellence, and joy, all as a group together. As a pianist who cannot be a part of such works it's a blessing to behold. Thank you for not neglecting the music of Brahms.
Here is a model performance. Not too lush or creamy. Instrumental tonality and texture secure and accurate. Interplay between voices emerging from the orchestral sections without congestion or smeariness. Good control of Brahms chromatic elements and surging symphonic gestures. Horns cut across the winds and strings as needed. Good choice of stick on the tympani. Wonderful.
University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar under the baton of Professor Nicolas Pasquet gave an excellent performance of Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F major which is one of my favorite symphonies. Bravo! Thank you for posting this video.
Its nice to see how the old Brahms let the young people smile, while playing his Music. The French Horn in this Symphony makes my Hair stand up, amazing !
I too consider this the best performance of my second favorite symphony. This rendition has a fullness and a depth of quality about it which surpasses all other performances of this work I have heard. Thank you Mr. Conductor and young people of the orchestra for your remarkable dedication and accomplishment.
Wow !! I have to listen to this again... and again !! I'll be going to watch a Rehearsal of this at our Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) on Saturday, December 3, 2022.
I normally love the 3rd Symphony for the mystical second and melodic third movements in any performance. But here, in the 4th movement, I love the build up, drama and stillness afterward, just like a summer storm.
By the way, people might want to check out the syncopation or more so a displacement of the melody at about 2:45 (initially) where Brahms uses one of his favored 'tricks' to get you involved; you think you know where the phrase sits but you'll be pleasantly surprised to be propelled or coaxed onward and inward into Brahms' world...
A melodic score with four epic movements. Each movement is characterized by its cosmic spark. Of course, each listener has his own feel for interpreting the movements. Each movement has its sensitivity, vitality and beauty that entail the emotions differently. The fourth movement gives the fire, intensity of emotions and then the inner peace... Exquisitely refined interpretation. Brahms gives a magical and poetic composition. Thanks for sharing a MAJESTIC work!
Amazing to see how young some of these musicians are! It reminds me of my 16 year old grand daughter who had become the lead violinist in her school's orchestra in Dallas, TX
This is a cohesive composition of symphony by a great Master after Beethoven that continues the romantic music traditions w/ restraint innovations lasting its late era of expression in the early 20th century until a latter era of Rachmaninoff & Mahler. A magnificent performance of these University students that I return to listen for many years!🤗👍😘
This is the reason I hate all the new "music" that everyone around me plays. Mind you, these are the people that call me weird for listening to this because they think it's "bad." I always get the urge to lecture them for an hour to convince them this is superior to the obscene noises they listen to. Usually, though, I just stay away from them so I don't get my brain raped by their loudspeakers. I'm just happy that this video exists...
I am healthy (I think), and expect to live many years (I hope). But it is so reassuring to know my feelings for the 3rd Movement are universally shared by so many people. Look at the expressions of those Musicians playing... When I am long gone, the emotions I feel will continue to be felt by other hearts and souls. I find this liberating.
a very soft version which swings very slowly i must think at the Barbirolli Third with Vienna Phil but i am happy to see so many young people play my beloved symphony Brahms third!"The Future of classical music is secured if so many young men and women played so intensiv classical music.Bravo-one tip buy the Third with Carl Schuricht(Festival Classique from 1962 or Abendroth or Scherchen dont forget this great conductors of the past!!!
Brahms would be well pleased with this performance. It has all the passion. Also with regard to the young oboist girl on the left of the bank (right as viewed in the video). There is a 2,500 year old statue of her in Leptis Magna!! Really, the statue is an exact likeness.
Brahms' Third Racket! - Basil Fawlty. Brahms' music is so melodic; counterpoint, no instrument left out, melodies for everyone. Except for me - I play bass triangle. I just love Brahms; I whistle his stuff regularly. Such sweet rackets! Like the other Great B - Beatles! Just whistle those tunes and maybe we happy. Great job orchestra.
Thankyou so much!! I needed this to listen to a horn except so I could understand it better and I was beginning to worry I'd never find it!! THANKS!!! :)
🌠CELESTIALI🌠 "Music so beautiful, glorious and profound that it could create a soul under the ribs of death!" John Milton "Music to soothe the savage breast, soften rocks and bend the knotted oak." William Congreve I was well into the third movement when I wiped away the remaining tears, accompanied by chills, precipitated by the utterly profound and beguiling passage that begins at 17:00 minutes. I dearly wish that those few enchanting moments of divine melody had been repeated and enlarged upon at a propitious place later in this movement, and perhaps again in the finale. Someone should compose a piece written and scored for both solo piano, organ, and piano and orchestra titled "Rhapsody on Themes from Brahms Symphony #3, focusing primarily on the above mentioned theme, along with the themes that begin at 19:14 and 21:14. And orchestrate some short interludes that call for a harp to be featured, ala the harp that is featured in Rachmaninoff's immortal "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini," but more often. (Unfortunately, the harp was featured only once, for about eight seconds!🙉😬😫) Someone should redact a score that has passages where the harp accompanies other instruments along with adding brief solo accents throughout.) I fortunately googled and this marvelous video appeared.😊😊 🌠Milton Moore🌠 🌅Las Vegas, Nv.
Mainly the first movement is in wit a brief section of A major and then back to F major. The second movement is in C major with a brief section of G major and back to C major. The 3rd movement is in C Minor with a brief episode of being in Major. Then back to C Minor mode. The 4th movement starts out in C Minor and then in various modes including F# mode and then in the end finally back to F Major to end the symphony. It's not entirely in F major. It should simply be called Brahms Symphony #3.
Beautifully interpreted and performed! I'm an instant fan of your wonderful orchestra! I'm curious about the physical placement of the basses, is that a special choice?
The orchestra is performing in the German seating (sometimes also called antiphonal or European seating order). That means the strings are seated (from left to right) 1st violins, cellos, violas, 2nd violins with the double basses usually placed right behind the cellos. Depending on what pieces are played, this seating arrangement allows for better communication between the different sections, better dynamics and audibility. Some German orchestras like the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Staatskapelle Berlin and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig perform in this order most, if not all of the time.
Is their a caste of violin artist in this group. One of them plays so artistically as if by magic; she played next to a very vibrant Asian artist in Wagner's Rienzi Overture in 2012. Her expressions during that concert revealed a passion so often overlooked in young !musicians. Does she still play with this orchestra? At first I thought she might be Julia Fischer, but not sure. Ideas anyone? She has an 82 year old fan in the U.S. who is on his way to eternity.
I mhave r ead so many gushing compliments of this performance! Would you all say that this is the best performance of Brahams's Sym. 3 that you have ever heard?
+Steve Burrus I am not a professional musician, but I've listened to and loved Brahma et al for fifty years. This is certainly the best performance I have "seen." Not being a trained classical musician, I cannot speak with authority, but what I hear is certainly pleasing. I've listened to many recordings of Brahms' symphonies, and *to my ears* none have sounded better. Perhaps some of that is due to the magnificent camera work and the HQ video of the enthusiastic, young, beautiful, so-very-talented musicians. Their verve is spectacular. I'm not sure so much movement would be tolerated in a "major orchestra," but I loved it. They moved and flowed like a great stream, undulating like a wheat field in the wind along with Brahms' inspiration. I was raised on an Iowa farm and know that of which I speak. But a great visual performance cannot make up for a flawed musical performance and this orchestra - to the credit of their conductor - is audibly marvelous. The nuance, the musicality of it all melts me each time I listen, and I've been drawn back to it many times over the past days since I've discovered this gem.
+Steve Burrus No, not "The Best" there is room for slight improvement in the ensemble (esp 3rd movement) and tonality in reproducing that succulent Brahmsian sound. A little more discipline and study in the "phrasing" in this symphony woulnd't have hurt at all.
For their age (this is a university orchestra), this is the best I've heard. However, I think I've heard a couple more experienced orchestras play a shade better.
@@hfmfranzlisztweimar Although her name remains a mystery, I have followed her performing career at the WDR and can say that she continues to play with the same passion and excitement as she did with the Weimar! The young lady truly enjoys making music - it is SO evident in the smiles and expressions of wonder that she exhibits as she plays. I must also say that Saraste with the WDR seemed an emotionless, brooding individual and I, for one, am glad to see that he's moved on.
Sieht für mich unverkennbar ostdeutsch sächsisch, vielleicht noch thüringisch (so in dem Dreh) aus (hoffentlich liege ich jetzt nicht falsch). Tiefe, ausdrucksvolle Mimik. Das Äußere einer angenehmen leaderin. Das ganze Orchester voll mit sympathischen Instrumentalisten.

Wow, this is certainly a wonderfully intense performance and the recorded sound is glorious. Tempos are also spot on, in my opinion; the music has a nice flow, not too slow yet not so fast as to muddle the synchopated passages. The falling motive gets a bit lost in the sustained cords at the very end but other than that a stellar performance.
True classical music is music from God! No other source! Mere mortal man incapable of such beauty all by himself. Hats off to 17-19 cent composers EXCLUSIVELY!
Amazing. Beautiful. I question I have is what is the relationship of Brahms and Tschaikovsky? The both lived in Berlin at the same time and would dine together and were both amazingly beautiful. Both were obsessed with counterpoint. Were they actually friends and how does Tschaikovsky's German heritage lay into all of these. Soviet propaganda emphasized his supposed French heritage. And of course T. was an atheist,
When I see all these beautiful young musicians playing one of the great masterpiece symphonies, I optimistically believe that such classical music will never die out and will continue to enthrall millions though the ages.
We can but hope. I know I am dispirited when I sit in an audience and see few young people among the audience, but we must do what we can to keep this beauty alive, forever.
"Beautiful"' Irrelevant. I notice there are no unattractive people here though. The bigotry sucks.
@@Swm9445 If there is an audience, since 2020 also many musicians quit because of the economy. Fewer people have money to attend concerts these days, it's all part of agenda 2030, culture is not part of that plan, just for the elite.
I envy you
when you haven't listened to this symphony for awhile, you realize how great it is. might be the best thing Brahms ever wrote.
Yes indeed. Read the comment I just posted at the top of the comment section.😊

oExternalTooth toototo
I was first clarinet in HS and played clarinet & sax in college. I agree with your sentiments completely.
The 3rd movement "Poco allegretto" is one of my favourite pieces!!! Thank you!!!!!
Mine as well!!! I could listen to this all day!
Mvt. 1 - Allegro Con Brio - 00:04
Mvt. 2 - Andante - 13:11
Mvt. 3 - Poco Allegretto - 22:00
Mvt. 4 - Allegro - 28:45
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way the conductor acknowledged what the orchestra had just done is simply charming.

I love Brahms more than words and especially his 3rd symphony. The first movement is the best.
Third mvt sublime
The first is indeed the best. I love it so much
Mine is the second movement. Now we need someone to chime in about liking the 4th movement the best to complete this comment thread.😅😊

Unbelievably brilliant ear grabbing opening with an exceptional poco allegretto movement. One of the best symphonies ever.
Excited now age 73 as I was at age 23 about Johannes. Great performance. Superb. Go Brahms!
Danke 💟 Merci 🌈 Thank you 🎵 Grazie
You're here for 22:00

Implying movement 1 isn't the best...
are you a wizard
This melody was used in a song of a Russian rap artist, was it used anywhere else?

So much to contemplate hearing and feeling we become part of the greatest expression of music.
Vielen Dank für 26:00, Brahms.
Lovely performance. With so many to choose from, I am glad I found yours! Thank you!
That all those musicians could come together to perform this so well - how cool is that?
What more can I say but...magnificent! Bravo - each and every one should be justifiably proud!
What a stunning piece of music

I'm still coming to this performance regularly a year+ later. :)
I love this 3rd symphony.
Simply splendid...Thank You!!...
Articulation at end of final movement incredible!
World class. Thank you.

Fascinating 🎶🖤
What a performance! Thank you!
I never miss an opportunity to listen to Brahms Third Racket
Only one word---WOW.
I prefer the finale of this 3rd symphony than the finale of the fourth. On it moment my personal ranking symphony of Brahms : 1,3 and 4, 2 :-)
El Cuarto Mov. de esta sinfonía es lo más sublime de todo Brahms, en mi opinión.
Beautifully performed...
Beautiful masterpiece
Still remember hearing 3rd movement for the 1st time and live !

Won a chess match against my friend whilst this was playing. Such a good song to listen to while playing chess or GTA
Interesting seating -- basses sneaking into the middle. Very nice performance.
lol
If you look at the seating arrangement for the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala it is a similar seating arrangement.
Many times the 1st and 2nd violins will be split. Slight rearrangement of the instruments can result in a much clearer sound, and recording.
Oops ,I meant to say about 2:20 (not 2:45)
oh! ContraBassoon identified correctly. Well done editing:-)
