This orchestra has to be the tops! Certainly my favourite youtube viewing. Love to see them live, and get the full experience of orchestral excellence.
MAESTRO STAN HAS TOUCHED ALL OF US AND ETERNITY WITH SEVENTY DECADES OF GREAT RECORDING AND CONCERTS. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DID IN MINNESOTA. SEEK THE INFINITE IN THE MYSTIC ADORATION OF MUSIC.
Bravo!! Truly one of the most outstanding performances of the Brahms 1st. It is just thrilling to watch Stanisław Skrowaczewski at almost 90 years of age direct this performance. It is even more wonderful that at his age he is able to sustain such an exceptional level of achievement, not to mention the outstanding Frankfort Radio Symphony at his command. Just a sheer delight!
This Orchestra amazes me again and again. With Eliahu Inbal, with many others, now with Stanislav. Gimme more of Stan! And hr sinfony any time! These German Musicians just radiate that deep humanism, that love of humanity, which Brahms and co incarnated in their works.
I. Un poco sostenuto - Allegro 0:23 II. Andante sostenuto 18:40 III. Un poco Allegretto e grazioso 28:26 IV. Adagio - Piu Andante - Allegro non troppo ma con brio 33:45
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski! OMG I remember hearing that name when I was growing up in the 60's and being introduced to classical music! One of the very few conductors around today from that golden era, good for him to keep going at his advanced age but I guess that's the way with most musicians (singers excepted for obvious reasons)
Brahms, ever the perfectionist, struggled with this colossal symphony for at least a dozen years. the final product was a monumental masterpiece of unequaled beauty and majesty. The final few minutes of the Andante with the solo violin represent to me the most beautiful music Brahms ever wrote. This is one of the great performances which rank up there with Bernstein and Von Karajan.
First movement took 6 years, and 14 for the rest so 20 years in total. This symphony took me like 5 listens to even hear one theme. And now I'm so hooked. Its In my head all day. So glad I didn't give up on it
Some of the most achingly beautiful, wonderfull horn writing ever is contained in Brahms's 4 symphonies. I will never not be touched and deeply moved by the brass and wind writing in general in the finale of this symphony.
I. Un poco sostenuto - Allegro 0:23 II. Andante sostenuto 18:40 III. Un poco Allegretto e grazioso 28:26 IV. Adagio - Piu Andante - Allegro non troppo ma con brio 33:45
Wonderful! Skrowaczewski shines a light into the little crevices of sound that make this symphony such a triumph, while holding on to the bigger picture - an ability that he had in abundance and matures with age and experience.
This was the first symphony I ever heard played by a major orchestra, Polish National Radio Orchestra, and though I was very young at the time the memory of that occasion has stayed with me for over 50 years. Though my taste has moved more into the 20th c. period , Brahms still remains a firm favourite,especially symphonies 1 and 3.
I'm so glad this was recorded. I love this performance and while I certainly appreciate the exacting tempos of other performances(even of Skrowaczewski albums), this one brought this piece to life for me.
Beethoven penned more symphonies,Mozart dashed off more piano concertos, and Schubert touched us deeply with many more songs,but nobody touched your soul more than Brahms. He reveals more to my inner being than any other composer . A grand performance by an elderly conductor leading a marvelous group playing a symphony that thrills me whenever I hear it. Thanks for the upload,it made my day and then some!
For a while there, YT had to remove it for some reason...only to bring it back, thankfully...because it is not easy to find even a decent performance of this fantastic symphony...I'm very happy, and grateful...that it's back...and the applause...that's practically the best part...THANK YOU!!!...
A second listening and paying attention to the phrasing made me appreciate the conductor's interpretation and the performance even more. Fresh and refreshing.
The oboist and the clarinestist are musically genial. Chelibidache let this music breath by itself in a way which no other conductor realized until now. Even if it is so the players of hr-Sinfonieorchester are the most musical I have heard with this first symphony of Brahms.
violinhunter2 I saw him at his last performance with the Minnesota Orchestra before his death some months ago. He conducted Bruckner 8 completely from memory. Truly a master.
also there is the first introduction to the composition and then second familiarity of multiple versions and the listeners discernment and preference of the work that makes any new exposure to new works that returns the listener to the first excitement of first listening. That is why this is why I come back to this channel. Also the technical staff are the best. I don't know what they do or how they do it but there is no better. Audio and visual production. Those audio and visual technicians tell the story of the music brilliantly. Without them, nothing
There is no doubt, at least in this instance, where the applause is, in a certain way...the best part of the whole thing.... That in this particular performance...the applause is so much deserved, and then some....THANK YOU!!!....
Really? I don't like being the lone dissenter, but, for me, I thought the performance was a bit limp. Maybe it was the recording, I don't know. But the last movement should knock you off your chair, and it didn't. Give me Solti and the Chicago Symphony. Or even Bernstein.
I keep coming back to this performance. Great orchestra and a conductor from the old school-(probably the last) - a little Bruno Walter ,some Szell but still unique and so faithful to the composers markings. The violin solo end of second movement is... SUBLIME!
What a remarkable performance and video. As a young violinist the Brahms First was my introduction to the soul-sustaining power of classical music, and I am forever grateful for it. By the way, it looks like the wonderful 1st oboe has put on a few pounds. This recording of the 1st is one of the finest in existence.
I had the pleasure to play this great symphony as a non-professional in a semi-professional, semi-non-professional orchestra. It was a great experience and for me it's one of the greatest symphonies I've ever heard. Unfortunately the concert couldn't take place open air like it should, because of the rain, but the presentation in the church was also very nice.
39:00 The most beautiful melody ever. Heard it for the first time when playing bassoon in the National Youth Orchestra Port Elizabeth Gqeberha South Africa Mzansi January 1981. Bravo Brahms. Long long live.
A Brahms First as I've never heard it before! Mysterious, craggy, tense, even threatening. Even the normally serene third movement becomes disquieting. And when the clouds finally disperse (36:33) and the full scene is revealed in all its glory (39:00), the struggle continues; there are more obstacles to overcome, until the final declaration of victory (50:38). Skrowaczewski's great and singular interpretation of this masterwork has forced me to consider it as I never had before: as something other than "absolute music". It seems to project the scope and intensity of the emotions Brahms probably experienced during its lengthy gestation; the symphony that took so much of his life to complete may describe nothing less than that - life.
Fun enough he is probably the most formalist of all the composers, thinking in fact that music has nothing to do with emotions on whatever representation but it's just a game of anticipations
Tutatis this is such an amazing symphony, and the first movement in particular is impressive. That oboe solo about 2 1/2 minutes into the slow introduction is about the saddest thing I've ever heard. It's post-apocalyptic music. I know this symphony is programmatic in some way, but of course we'll never know Brahms' true story in its composition.
Those bow changes from the concertmaster beginning at 28:00 are almost imperceptible - bravo!! As far as i could tell, Stan never opened the score. Pretty good memory. I wonder how many times he conducted this.
I had the pleasure to see Skrowaczewski conduct several times in the 1980s and 90s. Mostly Bruckner. Particularly unforgettable was a performance of Bruckner 3 with the New England Conservatory orchestra. I've never seen a conductor who seemed so thoroughly integrated with the music. I know he was a very well-regarded conductor for a long time, but even so I'm not sure he's as appreciated as he should be. And a real stand-up guy, supporting his old Minnesota Orchestra during the disgraceful lockout a decade ago (as this performance was happening, I believe).
Bravo! I wasn't aware of how famous and fantastic a conductor Skrowaczewski was until he conducted the Minnesota Orchestra musicians during the recent lockout. Bravo to them for not caving in to the corporate lockout. They're still sounding fantastic, by the way. I have to admit, this orchestra is just as great as Minnesota's. I have to buy a recording of this! I'm going to look for other recordings of this conductor's also.
Excellent version! Not only does Skrowaczewski play the repeat of the exposition in the first movement, he also follows Brahms's indications scrupulously: a forte is not to be confused with a fortissimo, the crescendi are started where they should, without accelerando etc...One of the best versions I've heard!
In fact, right the first forte in bar 1 is a ff, not to distinguish from the real ff in bar 25. 🙁 Fritz Steinbach in his records pointed out that it is important and according to Brahms' intention to make the difference clear. The beginning of Brahms 1 is NOT John Williams...
Since the lockdown, I have discovered UA-cam and with it wonderful recordings by 'Stan the Man.' as he was known in Manchester. My mind is full of many wonderful performances the Halle particularly the symphonies Bruckner. His final visit to the Halle in Manchester included a performance of Brahm's 4. Watching this I see his trademark. The score in front of him but unopened.
Majestätische und zugleich tiefempfundene Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im relativ langsamen Tempo. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester echt künstlerisch. Einfach wunderbar!
I honestly believed that I would never find that definitive performance...something akin to the one I'd heard long, long ago...and then it was Bernstein...but no.... And then...I'd found it in this most splendid upload...and I thought I'd wait until it at least near over, before I would venture to say anything, though I don't think that, in this case...I could have possibly spoken in haste.... What a performance...and how I would love to meet this conductor...Thank You!!....
+james alden Yes, very good. Often the tricky and critical passage around 51:00 is fuzzy, but it is well navigated here. For me, however, the Furtwangler 1949 version hits it perfectly - thankfully it is on UA-cam. What a privilege to be able to compare in this way.
James Alden since you have been on the same life long search as I have- and since we both return here for our FIX OF Brahms 1- I wanted to make sure you know my OTHER favorite version . Stokowski (shocked me too!) and the LSO, live early 70s Its on you tube but each movement is seperate and you have to dig, but its an experience . TREMENDOUS precision. Mesmerizing! Not a Stokie fan generally, but this record escaped my notice for 4 decades . If you arent familiar - its a must if you love this work!
If anybody ever said Brahms didn't know how to compose melodies, all you had to do was cite 39:00. I've never heard a more beautiful sound come out of violins and I've listened to a heck of a lot of composers.

THIS VERSION TAKES ME MAGNIFICENTLY TO ANOTHER GALAXY FROM WHICHI I WOULD NEVER RETURN TO OUR CRAZY WORLD- UP THERE I AM SORROUNDED BY ALL THE GODS OF THE OLYMPUS!!! ANA
+klaus peter kraa Thank you very much for your so interesting comment Klaus Peter Kraa. I have had very dull long days and still have. I am listening to this magnificent symphony as I need to elevate my heart out of this awful life we all live on Earth, especially today when Sun is not brigthening at all! My best deep regards to you!!! ana
If ever there existed a perfect example of: "It's not how you start, but rather how you finish.", it would be Brahms first symphony. With one exception - specifically the BRILLIANT fourth movement - the result of Brahms first venture into symphonic composition is an often droll, much-meandering and disjointed musical misadventure. Thankfully, the next three symphonies are a contination of the finale's brilliance.

I agree Ignatius: a marvel it is !
The build up from 49:50 to the climax between 50:37-51:30 and to the epic end...WOW just WOW!
A great orchestra - a great conductor - a great symphony by a great master: who could ask for more?
Spectacular Performance and Brilliant Conductor and Orchestra as Well Bravo !!!!!
Everyone should stand for this amazing man !!!!!
I'm so glad this was recorded. I love this performance and while I certainly appreciate the exacting tempos of other performances(even of Skrowaczewski albums), this one brought this piece to life for me.
Great to see the maestro still hasn't lost his touch. He conducted here in Canada fro many years and always with that wonderfully small baton!

Que interpretación y ejecución de la Sinfonía, siempre estará entre mis preferidas.
It's amazing how you can notice the personality of a composer just by listening his works...
Probably the best Version i heard of Brahms 1, and the best on youtube BY FAR!
My favorite one is by Celibidache
Really? I don't like being the lone dissenter, but, for me, I thought the performance was a bit limp. Maybe it was the recording, I don't know. But the last movement should knock you off your chair, and it didn't. Give me Solti and the Chicago Symphony. Or even Bernstein.

Well I guess most of us heard it for the first time listening to Beethoven. However, who would judge Brahms stealing this gem?!
bravo , magnifico
Gorgeous!! A great tempo for the last movement. Bravo to the horns and woodwinds!!
Agreed. Among all the interpretations i have heard this is the best tempo
May the Maestro rest in peace. October 3, 1923 - February 21, 2017,
94 years age?!
Music is the best works to get longevity then.
@@minka866 Right. That is why I am still alive
One can only hope and dream; maybe he has now met Brahms, Beethoven, Wagner and all the great ones. What an ensemble!

A Brahms First as I've never heard it before! Mysterious, craggy, tense, even threatening. Even the normally serene third movement becomes disquieting. And when the clouds finally disperse (36:33) and the full scene is revealed in all its glory (39:00), the struggle continues; there are more obstacles to overcome, until the final declaration of victory (50:38).

I couldn't even imagin one symphony can be interpreted like this...! SO beautiful as much as this masterpiece. Thank you so much.
Fun enough he is probably the most formalist of all the composers, thinking in fact that music has nothing to do with emotions on whatever representation but it's just a game of anticipations
Tutatis this is such an amazing symphony, and the first movement in particular is impressive. That oboe solo about 2 1/2 minutes into the slow introduction is about the saddest thing I've ever heard. It's post-apocalyptic music.
I know this symphony is programmatic in some way, but of course we'll never know Brahms' true story in its composition.
Esta interpretación, grabación y enfoques de solistas, es única y me encanta.

If ever there existed a perfect example of: "It's not how you start, but rather how you finish.", it would be Brahms first symphony. With one exception - specifically the BRILLIANT fourth movement - the result of Brahms first venture into symphonic composition is an often droll, much-meandering and disjointed musical misadventure. Thankfully, the next three symphonies are a contination of the finale's brilliance.

RIP Maestro Stan!
布拉姆斯總是出人意表，他每一種體裁的第一首作品總是已完成的，成熟的。例如交響曲，我們比較海頓，莫札特，舒伯特，貝多芬，舒曼，孟德爾頌，柴可夫斯基，西貝流士，他們的一號總顯得是幼兒園、小學的作品，改善餘地很大。而老布不同，一出手就是大學作品，不容改進。室內樂和聲樂曲皆然，協奏曲更是如此。真是大匠！
