30 minutes of ensemble playing Schoenberg from memory...I'm impressed by that on it's own. The musicality is divine too. Bravo.
But what classical musician worth his weight in salt doesn't memorize his part in relation to others?
Hello❤
@@kalvinhill5308 (1) 'classical', schonberg?? The adjective is UTTERLY inappropriate, since the 'Nacht' is about as ROMANTIC a piece as one can imagine - in form rhapsodic (which Haydn might almost have been frightened of), and in content teetering on the brink of atonality. (2) Whatever does this 'weight in salt' expression mean? (3) and 'memorise... in relation to others' is very murky, too: if it were so, it's puzzling isn't it that all symphonic musicians continue to read from their score!
if the sheet music was pulled they could play it. Performance is a complex issue you seem to know little about. Weight in salt? In this sense competent would sum it up. But teach on Maestro. A prodigy no doubt sent here to enlighten us plebs.@@julianwynne8705
This is No. 1 in my classical music list. The fact that almost 120 years ago one could write such complicated yet naturally flowing harmonies within the properly built emotional structure and form is simply unbelievable. Perfectly performed by the orchestra. Thank you, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
This quite literally may have changed my life.
Nice
For the better?
@@Feisenbach absolutely.
Did it changed yet?
I JUST commented that this is the first actual spiritual experience I have ever had, listening to this tonight
WIHTOUT SCORE!
Incredible and wonderful performance!
This is incredible. Not only a fantastic and emotional rendition, but they are doing this ALL FROM MEMORY. Astounding.
I’m fortunate to have the orchestral score of this piece. Even looking at the page is terrifying! Considering that this orchestra played it from memory, the very few tiny quibbles I have with the performance fade from the radar. When I follow with the score open in front of me, I’m in awe of Schoenberg. When I just close my eyes and listen, I’m in awe of the composer AND the performers. It’s amazing how a composition this dense and intellectual can speak so clearly to the heart.
The stage lighting is sublime. My first experience listening to this piece was well over 25 years ago. It was probably at the end of my teenage years and it was one of the most profound things I’ve ever experienced- listening to Verklärte Nacht in the dark.
I don't have anywhere near enough 'stars' that I can give to this piece and this performance. Outstanding - and from memory? Extraordinary
fantastic perfomance. I thought I was the only one playing it from memory...
To perform this music well, total dedication is demanded. This presentation has this and the components which make a very fulfilling rendition of possibly the pinnacle piece of late-rommantic music. Many thanks to the Norweigen chamber Orchestra.
Oh please I'm pretty fond of it myself, but let's try not to get overly carried away with the hyperbole. The pinnacle piece of late romantic music? Really? Verklärte Nacht composed in the same year as Elgar's Enigma Variations, 20 years before that composer's Cello Concerto, 10 years before Das Lied von der Erde, and around about 47 before Strauss's Vier Letzte Lieder. All these pieces have much stronger claims to the title, and that's just to name a few.
Wonderful ensemble by the way...
@@ragadolls I like Elgar, Strauss and Mahler too, but in so many ways this is indeed the apex. And what is even more wondrous, Schoenberg went beyond this to scale new heights.
@@ragadolls Tuttifiddler gave an opinion........respect it.
@@ragadolls Schoenberg's Gurrelieder is probably the pinnacle piece to close late-romanticism. But, either way, Verklarte Nacht has more of a claim than any of the pieces that you named.
I like the freedom standing up gives them, it shows the intense emotion they are feeling through their movement
Excellent observation !
That modulation to Major right in the middle gets me every time.
Dude...from memory? Amazing
Everyone is playing by memory. That is IMPRESSIVE! Wow! And a spectacular performance, superb interpretation. Fabulous ensemble. I could go on and on! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that they remembered it. That's standard for a musician. It's that they don't have a conductor keeping them in time that's blowing my mind.
@@LintRiggs_ Terje T is leading them. Watch his body motions.
I get spellbound every time I listen to this with Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
No matter what, I always come back to this piece, this recording. It has to be my favorite piece of music and favorite recording by now, I just cannot stop listening to it.
stunning performance, great phrasing, great sound! and that all by heart...
Is this a harmony?or rhythm?
This is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard of this piece--simply arresting.
I was lucky to be part of a team recording the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra perform this truly singular piece of music in June, 2017. It was the finale to a fantastic concert of songs themed around "The Night". I had never heard it before and it had a profound effect on me.
Their performance was my favourite until i saw this. If your whole body isn't tingling at 22:30 ish, I'll go down to the shops and buy a men's trucker cap, return home, and eat it.
Outstanding performance, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
are you in Melbourne?
@@kalvinhill5308 i was for a time, but I'm in Brisbane now
Almost overwhelming even on UA-cam - not sure I could have quite coped with it live! Marvellous musicianship.
wonderful...
I'm a Brazilian violist and I'm delighted with the expressiveness and sonority of this work. Thank you for this recording!
This is by far the most compelling performance I've seen/heard of this piece.
I´ve never heard a version of this piece of music with such bass power. It is really shocking in the best sense of the word.
What a wonderfully total presentation, musically compelling and exciting. I would love to hear this group perform live.
Treated with utmost care, thrilling drama, and fantastic romanticism throughout. A thoroughly phenomenal recording of a phenomenal piece.
the best version of the piece I have heard so far! great!!
so true
The violin solo in the sparkly pizz. Section is one of those parts that makes you actually want to get up and go practice despite doing school work.
One of the greatest works ever! leaves me speechless every time I hear it
Viola section of life!
One of my all time favorite pieces of all time. That's the kind of drama we need in our lives. An Olympic-Marathon "Gold Metal) of a performance. Kudos!
I came here for my homework but I'm actually really mesmerized by this performance. Wow
12 intellettuali non mancano mai....incredibile!! Bravissimi grande esecuzione, a memoria....
la mejor versión de esta obra que he escuchado. magnífica orquesta!
muchas gracias y felicitaciones
The richest, most moving performance of this work I've ever encountered. Riveting, exquisite. The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra is utterly remarkable--they play from their core as a unified organism (intensity of tenderness of leaning violins 5:25 - 5:31). BOSS viola section especially the solo violist. Every section excellent--every player, they're all soloists--but these lower strings are particularly powerful. Celli at the transition between parts... Basses volcanic (around 9 min), a deep geo-thermal foundation all the time. And bravi the seconds throughout Part Two. Wow. Just WOW.
Best performance of this work so far. It blows out of the water every single one I've ever heard. Stunning.
I love the drama between parts and this really adds a story to the performance, bravo !
Bravissimo!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantástico !!
Amazing. I am speechless!
That is exactly what we need today. Tank you so much for beeing full of brave, individualism and creativity.
A thousand million BRAVOs to all!!!!!
I am absolutely speechless, after seeing a group of dozens of excellent musicians playing one of the most dense, challenging and beautiful works in the repertoire, all by heart (!!!), without a conductor, with the musicians giving everything they have in a wonderful musicality, with undisguised enjoyment, and all this bathed in lighting capable of transporting us to the imagined scenario from which it sprang. And when was the last time someone managed to write a work so complex and at the same time so capable of moving us to the core? The first time I heard Schönberg's "Transfigured Night", at the age of 16, I was so enraptured that I listened to it 4 times in a row and immediately declared it the most sublime thing I had ever heard. With this video, today, my eyes filled with the tears that were certainly on vacation that day.

We hear hearths beating, flowing here and there, what a pleasure!
I pulled my car over for a half hour to listen to this.
This is the first _actual_ spiritual experience I have ever had in my entire life, listening to this.
5:12 is the most agonizingly gorgeous thing I have ever heard in my life.
God bless you
Being part of this ensemble in this performance comes close to my idea of absolute happiness.
Fantástico! Que coragem e técnica destes músicos! Além da obra maravilhosa de Shoenberg!
Merci Mesdames. Merci Messieurs. Merci Arnold.
+dobo50 merci merci la nuit !!

Hello♥️
My favorite video. I've come back to it several times and found it deeply rewarding and enjoyable.
Captivating.
AMAZING Beautiful playing!
This is absolutely remarkable.
Tro
Hi there
This is actually a nice piece i just wish i wasn't forced to listen to it and write a paper on it lol
sad story
this is the most beautiful music of Shoenberg. too bad for your bad ears
if this one was ruined for ya, id suggest
"igorrr, tout petit moineau"
and the yannis version of "ghost love score"
😉👌
Life is tough, isn’t it? (extreme sarcasm) My university years were the happiest of my life, with constant playing (voice, flute, organ), reading, learning....beautiful memories!
@@voraciousreader3341 id recommend checking out "epica, universal dea†h squad"
i think someone with an orchestral background would really appreciate that 👌
Thank you for uploading this video and for that gorgeous performance
Simply stunning.
Hi there
Beautiful! What a wonderful ensemble!
Magnificent and outstanding performance of this Fantastic piece. This is absolutely the best performance I have ever seen and heard..!! Unbelievable.!! Bravo.,..!!
The last accord changed my life already. So amazing. Thank you for upload💛💛💛
A fantastic chamber orchestra!
they unravel the story, the depth, the noblesse, the kitsch of this masterpiece in a very, very fine performance. I felt blessed to be able to listen to this.
Hi Hank!
The kitsch ? How so ?
@@leonkowalenko1747 well, kitsch stands for bad taste and sentimentality. I compare it to F Boucher saying "la nature est trop verte et mal éclairée" (nature is too green and badly lit). I love this piece of music, I listen quite often to it, but I try to balance my tears with some irony. Never take anything too seriously... not me... not this - in its manner - perfect music. 😀
I love this piece so much, beautiful performance.
Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
fantastic performance with the perfect amount of feeling. The best performance i've heard!!!!!! thank you
This is just FANTASTIC
It is! Magnificent.
Very good! Best chamber orchestra version I've heard.
Questa orchestra non delude mai, grazie per la commovente esecuzione di un pezzo misterioso e profondo
Thanks for mentioning Bud Beyer, and his contribution to this process.
Beautiful!
Wonderful - and extraordinarily brave - performance. Thank you!
If only the adverts at the start were enough. Nothing more frustrating than an emotional performance suddenly interrupted by an abnoxious ad.
It's because you're not smart enough to install AdBlock my dude.
vetlerradio well said
Absolutely moving. They're doing it by heart. In both meanings of the word. Congratulations!
I was recommended him as a composer because the piece I wrote sounded like some of his pieces! This sounds amazing!!
Es ist wirklich total hohes Niveau! Bravi Tutti Quanti 👏👏👏
AMAZING!!
this is the most amazing performance I have ever heard!!!!
OMG AMAZING! It is so good I clapped at the end!
Master piece. Outstanding performance by heart
Hello ❤
Deslumbrante! Congratulations!
Espectacular!!..... Una composición para cuerda de una genialidad increíble!!....Grande Arnold Schöenberg
How can they memorize Schoenberg piece?? Bravo for their dedication!!!!!
Wonderful performance.
Genial!
Hello♥️
....and from memory.....that is best clarity of line, expressiveness, and emotional projection of this piece that I have every heard...listening to performances for 50 years....the best....I could follow the Maeterlinck's poem...they brought the story on stage and shared it with themselves and the audience....marvelous. I was so moved....
you're thinking of Pelleas and Melisande. Richard Dehmel is the poet of Verklarte Nacht.
I've never intentionally listened to this kind of music. I like bach to Stravinsky and prog rock from about 1968 to 1976. Little else. Some of this would work well in the early silent german expressionist films like nosferatu and Dr Caligari. Playing this from memory is extraordinary. I am stunned.
NCO blows my mind. And touches my heart.
Meravigliosa esecuzione, grazie di cuore
Fino a questo punto della vita, Schoenberg è comprensibile a tutti; e produce musiche bellissime.
Questa capolavoro è una gioia per le mie orecchie che, pur non educate a riconoscere le note, ne seguono estasiate il fluire.
Such an intensity!! Wow
Spellbinding! Schoenberg LIVES!!
Hello♥️
This is perfect.
Maravillosa interpretación. Los felicito. Además, qué excelsa obra, que parece un paisaje sublime de más dimensiones de las que podemos indicar
Simply my favourite symphony ever.
Phantastic!
Magnifique.
Спасибо. Открыл для себя незнакомого потрясащего композитора. Спасибо огромное
Desconocido ? Es uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo XX
Utter commitment and dedication.
incredible!!!
... absolutely brilliant ...
so brilliant and beautiful in its simplicity of presentation. Absolutely brilliant.
... buio e luce... dolce, amaro, struggente...; la complessità dell'uomo.
