Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus are my favourite pieces here. Esp Jupiter, the middle section that builds up. Love the dramatic timpani sections in Uranus with one player rapidly transitioning over all 4 drums.
I love the fact that you can hear the tam-tam so clearly in the first parts of Mars!
I liked this video the second I started it, and on numerous occasions throughout the performance, I wished I could like it again, and again, and again. Bravissimo!
This nice comment certainly does the trick! 😄 Thank you so much!!
Ich war live dabei und schon begeistert. Toll, dass es jetzt hier zu finden ist 😍
Es ist uns ein Vergnügen! 😀
My favorite!! Conductor is very involved, excellent enthusiasm, expert orchestra skill, superb audio and video quality - this version has it all! Superb rendition of this famous work by Gustav Holst! Bravo!!
Much appreciated, thank you!!
Holst bringing us outside our earth! Manze, NDR, grazie mille!
È un piacere!!
whoa. the sound from this orchestra is phenomenal. Quite refreshing to hear such balance!
Wohoo, we love to hear that!! Thanks a lot!!
You talk of balance and the first time the ostinato in Mars reaches forte, the brass loses against strings and timpani. That's not exactly balance.
@@Quotenwagnerianerif you're referring to 1:21, then Id have to disagree with you by saying that I CAN hear every instrument played at that moment. But even if it wasn't, there are SO many other moments where certain passages are not so clear all the time-which Manze was able to bring out.
Some examples:
8:10-the clarity of the harp articulations in relation to the sustained notes
9:25-every solo string phrase in relation to the winds
18:01-the interjections made by the winds were subtle yet clear EVERY time
30:08- being able to hear clarinets WITH horns to create that color
33:30-the balance between the harp harmonics with strings! It's SO difficult to get that many strings to play so softly with control
39:13-A French Horn phrase that's often played louder than usual because the three voice spread. Its the first I felt it to be a nice mezzo forte.
Credit goes to all the musicians that make it happen, Manze to articulate his interpretation, AND the audio engineers to match the sound digitally!
Thanks for the credits, sure they will appreciate it, we will happily pass them on :)
I've had the pleasure of seeing the Toronto Symphony Orchestra perform The Planets four times (most recently a couple weeks ago). Unequivocally, The Planets (and more specifically, Jupiter), is my favourite piece of music of all time. There's a certain sparkle that comes from listening to this being performed. Not to mention that this is a very well done recording of the suite. Manze did a phenomenal job at capturing the essence of seriousness, but also, playfulness of the suite. Brava!!
So happy to hear that!! Thank you so much!
Possibly the best performance of this particular work I've ever heard. Thank you!
Wow, nice!! Happy to hear this! Thank you for joining!
A wonderful performance ! Holst must be so happy ! As ever my favourites are Mars/Venus, and Neptune.....but all are wonderfully conducted, played, sung, and filmed. Thank you SO MUCH !🌎
Thank you so much, it is a pleasure :)
Exciting to see both Peer Steinbrück with the cello at 19:40 and Jeff Bridges playing the violin at 22:47
😂😂
The choir at the end: wow! Great control of dynamics
😃😃😃
The choir actually slowly went backwards into the hallway behind the stage to get that effect 😀
Ha sido maravilloso volver a escuchar una interpretación, a mi parecer, genial, tanto de los músicos que componen la orquesta, como, sobre todo, del director. He vuelto a vivir mi niñez, cuando la escuché por primera vez. Muchas gracias
Muchas gracias!!
Holst at its best! The performance is great. Thank you
A magnificent performance. Bravi tutti!
Thank you so much!!
Of the hundreds of versions of this suite that are on UA-cam, this performance is now my favorite. You guys did an outstanding job with the entire thing (kudos to your production team, too).
So happy to hear that!! Thank you! :)
Since the National Youth Orchestra of Grt Britain's version, is now back on YT. I have to place THIS performance / recording, an excellent 2 nd.
@@MrDaiseymay Agree, the Youth Orchestra version is the best I've heard so far. It has so much energy.
Als ich die Musik im März 1980 zum ersten Mal hörte, dachte ich sie wäre neu.
Aber sie war damals bereits über 60 Jahre alt!
Holst, one of my favorites!!! So well-performed, with spirit. Vielen danke! (sp?)
Bitte, gern geschehen! :) Happy you liked it!
What a refreshing, brilliant performance! Musicians, conductor and sound engineers are to be congratulated for this stunning performance of The Planets. If I had a tiny wish it is for the brass to be more present during Jupiters big tune. Still, it’s a brilliant brilliant performance. I hope it becomes available on CD!!!
Thank you so much!! :)))
That fade out...🤩
Terrific performance! I've been waiting for this since you posted Jupiter earlier this year. Everyone in the orchestra gets to shine, with special thanks to the tuba and euphonium in Uranus and Maestro Manze has a tremendous grasp of the ebb and flow of the piece. Thank you!
Hahaha, awesome, thank you so much! Glad to meet your wishes! It is a different performance than the Jupiter, but you surely have noticed that.
@@NDRKlassik Oh yes! Are there any plans to program some of Vaughan Williams' symphonies in upcoming seasons?
Not that we would know of (yet)!
@@NDRKlassik Give it some thought as Maestro Manze excels in his music. Many fond memories of a BBC Proms concert featuring the fourth, fifth and sixth!
He's british so this music is in his blood and he knows how to get a German orchestra to play it as it should be played
When I listen to this masterpiece,
comfort surge s up within me
So happy to hear that, dear friend!
@@NDRKlassik
Thankyou
Good luck🇯🇵㊗️⛩️
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
@@NDRKlassik
I amlooking forward to your wonderful programs 🇯🇵㊗️
Amazing enjoyed this
Orchestra very much
❤️🙏🇨🇦
Powerful. An extraordinary masterpiece full of images. Thanks a lot for sharing This remarkable performing.
So happy to hear that!! Thank you, much appreciated!
I loved your performance of Jupiter so much that I've waited for your posting of the whole playing. What a shame I didn't know you'd done it! Thank you!!
You are very welcome!!
The only recording I still have of The Planets is Tomita's synthesizer version, which, believe it or not, has considerable virtues...but not since I lost my disc recording by the LPO under Bernard Herrmann have I heard it in its orchestral setting, as I now can here. Many thanks, NDR! You've pulled another coup with me! JAT
Awesome!! Very happy to hear that! ☺️
Großartig! Ein Meisterwerk!
Great performance and clear quality. Ideal for me to prepare to perform it next week.
(I play the violin in the orchestra)
Thank you :)
Thank you very much! We wish you a pleasant rehearsal!
Awesome performance. Every section clear and bright. And Manze bringing out different dynamics very effectively. Heard so many things here that are not apparent in other performances. Really very nice. Great audio/video work as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Our pleasure! Thank you for joining us!
繊細でダイナミック、バランスの良い全体のまとまり。オーディオマニアが好むスペクタクルではなく、格調あるイギリス音楽らしさを披露している。感動！
Thank you!!
Nice. Hello from the Czech Rep. 👍❤️
Great job as an orchestra and well done with the camera work too
Thank you, much appreciated!!
Bravissimo !
....was für eine bombastische Musik über die Vorstellung unseres Sonnensystems !! Gänsehaut pur
Ja!!!
@@NDRKlassik ...ich habe das als Kontrabassist mitgespielt und es war fantastisch !
Das freut uns zu hören!
beautifulissimo!
:)))
Ah, what a wonderful music. Phenomenal orchestra. Jupiter always bring me to tears. It's sounds like music of heaven or something magical, astonishing
Thank you very much, @elerg2932! 🤩🤩🤩 Stay tuned for more!
#Holst #ThePlanetsSuite #NDRRadiophilharmonie
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Suite mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der vierte Satz klingt echt erfreulich und auch inspirierend. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt mysteriös und auch beruhigend mit durchsichtigen Stimmen des perfekt trainierten Frauenchors. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit effektiver Dynamik. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Vielen herzlichen Dank! :)
Amazing !
I am really impressed by Manze. Like Harnoncourt, he started as an original instruments specialist, which, to a certain extent, has its valid reasoning. But finally I always think a good performance outweighs the amount of research to recreate a work's contemporary performance practices.
Que magia de efeitos sonoros! Induz as mais diversas configurações ! Um Universo muito rico em timbres de um colorido excepcional. É um multicolorido que parece projetar outras dimensões! A gente se gente em um universo paralelo! Fantástico!
Bravo. Outstanding.
Thank you very much!
absolutely amazing
Hermosa 👋👋👋
Muchas gracias!!
Wonderful!
Happy to hear that!!
I feel like I am a day-tripper of Planets
The euphonium is so infrequently used in symphony orchestras that the player deserves more then his share of camera shots. The only reason they let me into community orchestras is that I play cello as well as baritone (but I've only ever performed "The Planets" on cello .🙁).
Bro ate the mouthpiece 😂😂 1:12
Belleza. 🎉
Thanks! 🤩
16:55 - ooooof, a real bad bum note from the horn there.... still a superb performance. Bravo to all.
❤beautiful
Thank you so much!
OUTSTANDING! Has this orchestra performed Shostakovich at all?
Yes, they have (like here: ua-cam.com/video/exyE9asNAP8/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/oRRLLsZRV1E/v-deo.html) - and will again! Next one is Shostakovich's violin concerto No. 1 in November!
did not know abraham lincoln could play tuba so well
Why can't people wait till the performance is actually over? ^^
🙈
Wonderful. Really beautiful space of planetary forces. But where is Pluto?
Not sure! Perhaps Holst already had an inkling that Pluto would one day be downgraded to a dwarf planet? ;)
@NDRKlassik I love how other musicians stepped up to complete the works, but you can feel that 'something' missing. But Pluto will soldier on regardless :D

Ist ab ca. 16:30 ein Zitat aus Scheherazade zu hören? Das kommt mir doch ziemlich bekannt vor.
Absolutely wonderful rendition - the timbre on this has become among my favorites. Is this recording available for purchase anywhere in higher quality, on CD for example?
Thank you very much for your nice comment. Unfortunately, there is currently no CD recording of this concert. However, the NDR Radiophilharmonie released the "Jupiter" Symphony on CD a few years ago under the direction of Andrew Manze. Attached you will find the link to the recording:
www.ndr.de/orchester_chor/radiophilharmonie/Mozart-Sinfonien-auf-CD,mozart234.html
@@NDRKlassik if there's even the slight possibility of it happening, please consider releasing a CD of this concert :D
Edit: or just digitally in flac format.
Is there no organ？（It's like Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic in Sofiensaal.）
Unfortunately not! 🙁
Man muss schon sagen, dass das Ende von "Mars" ein wenig Ähnlichkeit mit der Titelmelodie von *Krieg der Sterne* hat.
24:54 Saturn (begins with dark build up)
Where is the organ?
Unfortunately the venue is not equipped with an organ and from an artistic point of view it was no option to use a e-organ instead.
This is quite understandable. Thank you
The delayed audio is driving me crazy. I can only listen but can’t watch😢
Oh, no, what a bummer! Were you watching with any kind of wireless - headphones or streaming? The video shouldn't be the problem, we believe.
@@NDRKlassik not using wireless. The Bluetooth would make it much worse. I finally was able to reduce the audio delay by 100ms to make it more precise. Now I’m a happy camper.
This composition is not bad for a weekend side job.
In between teaching at a girls' school?
Great performance throughout, except for the trumpets. Someone forgot to remind them that they play trumpets.

Holst knew Pluto wasn't really a planet!
Gustav Holst finished THE PLANETS in 1916.
The planet (or not) Pluto was discovered in 1930.
Like me, Holst could not foresee the future
Someone composed a Pluto movement which can be placed at the end. However, since this was informed by astrology, the proper place for it would be between Mercury and Jupiter. I heard it once and wasn't impressed.
If so, he must have been psychic. Pluto was discovered in 1932. sixteeen years after Holst composed his Suite. THE PLANETS' They are inspired by ASTROLOGY, not ASTRONOMY. Hence the absence of Earth, and and PLuto in the original suite.
Goose bumps transported me to the outer reaches of our solar system while experiencing this masterful rendition. Holst could not have imagined this work any better.
WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - ALIENS ARE COMING! :D
😂😂😂
@@NDRKlassik ,
Dachte mir schon, dass euch das gefällt.
Die Mukke ist aber auch abgefahren!
Die hab ich zum ersten mal in einer WDR-Doku gehört im März 1980 , Der Meteorit.
Da gings um diesen Kometeneinschlag bei Wanawara, in der nähe der steinigen Tunguska in Sibierien im Juni 1908.
Geile Sache das :)
Meine Oma Olga hat mir davon erzählt, sie war 18 damals. Konnte man Nachts Zeitung lesen! So hell war das.
what in the blazes IS it with string and woodwind players BOBBING AND WEAVING like they're experiencing a 7.9 earthquake for crying out loud?!?!?!? you almost never see brass players do that.
SIT THE FLIP STILL!!!!!!!!!!!
It helps them be expressive. Whilst it has no material effect on the tone, it gives an impulse and vitality to their playing that it would lack if they sat still. In effect, they're "putting body and soul" into it.
and in no way does it enhance their technical prowess or ability whatsoever. ALL it is is a complete and unwelcome distraction, and unprofessional.
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.
I have no objection to this display of involvement in the music they are performing. Isn't music meant
to activate the emotions - in both player and listener/viewer?
@@keemez Buddy, stop being smart....the musicians are professionals and how they move their body, you shouldn't care
Leider komplett ohne Orgel. Das ruiniert leider das ganze Werk. Wäre echt ein wichtiger Effekt in den Sätzen 1,5,6 und 7 gewesen. Knapp daneben ist auch vorbei.
Schade, dass es Ihnen nicht gefällt. Wir stimmen zu, dass die Orgel fehlt, da Holst beabsichtigte, diesem Musikstück eine Atmosphäre des magischen Raums mit dem Klang der Orgel zu verleihen. Leider ist der Veranstaltungsort nicht mit einer Orgel ausgestattet und aus künstlerischer Sicht war es auch keine Option, stattdessen eine E-Orgel zu verwenden.
@@NDRKlassik danke für Ihre Antwort. Man hätte durchaus ein elektronisches Orgeläquivalent nehmen können. Davon gibt es mittlerweile sehr gute. Z B das Instrument, welches Cameron Carpenter benutzt... oder die Orgel in der Düsseldorfer Tonhalle.
John Williams sooooooooooooo copycatted this! smho
