Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings - Concertgebouw Kamerorkest / Chamber Orchestra - Live concert HD

- Het Concertgebouw Kamerorkest speelt Tsjaikovski's 'Serenade voor strijkers'.
Opname: het Zondagochtend Concert van 29 mei 2016, in het Concertgebouw te Amsterdam.
De Rus Tsjaikovski hield enorm van Schumann. In zijn eigen werk liet hij Russische en Duitse invloeden samensmelten. Bij het componeren van de 'Serenade in C' liet hij zich inspireren door Mozart. Dat is vooral te horen in de eerste helft van dit stuk voor strijkers, waarvan de 'Wals' ook los enorm populair werd. Gaandeweg wordt Tsjaikovski in zijn 'Serenade' serieuzer en emotioneler, tot aan het ‘piu mosso’ (dus heel beweeglijke) slot.
Het Zondagochtend Concert is een concertreeks van NPO Radio 4. Ga voor meer informatie en de kaartverkoop van het seizoen 2016-2017 naar: www.radio4.nl/zondagochtendcon....
I performed this piece when I was 14, in a youth orchestra. It was very difficult to play, but it became a comforting piece to listen to.
Tchaikovsky to me, is a pinnacle classical composer for the period. ❤
I first heard this piece of music when I was 21. After hearing rhis beautiful music I became a die hard classics fan. I am now 67
This is a certified hood classic
WHAT
Lol!
Just lol dude yes
File this between Dre and 3 6 Mafia
😂😂😂😂lmfao YOU NEED TO LEAVE
The First Movement to this has always brought tears to my eyes...
They are WELLING UP now...
My dad (god bless his soul) got me into Tchaikovsky. Thanks dad.
What a wonderful, lifelong gift from your father. Lovely comment.
@@michaelpaulsmith4619 cheers ,nice one 👍
Mine as well. Thanks Dad. May he rest in peace.
My kids got me into Tchaikovsky! :)
I can feel your comment from the heart, the way Tchaikovsky can write music that can sing so beautifully is holy to say the least, god bless
most pieces have a little exposition to interest the audience and i love it. but i also love big, beautiful, choruses - and tchaikovsky hit us with all that angst, emotion, and power with the very first measures. it's like starting a book with the most profound piece of wisdom ever and elaborating on it for the rest of the book. first time i heard this i didn't need to go past ten seconds into the piece to think "this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard". i don't believe in love at first sight but this piece? i fell hard.
Tchaikovsky - not only the god of melodies but also of counter melodies.
Mozart is the god of melody and Bach the god of counterpoint
i agree hes as great as it gets when it comes to melody esp lyrical melodies
Art never dies...
Out of many recordings of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, this one has the most romantic and passionate phrasing. It's slow at the right places, upbeat at the most appropriate timing and just magnificent to listen to. The audience were really lucky to listen to this wonderful rendition in person!!!
The most perfect I have ever heard; I can imagine that THIS is the way that the Divine delivered it!
As far as recordings go, I agree completely! But for recreating how the composer intended this piece to sound, the venue has to be considered as part of the overall acoustics. This sets the tempo and pacing, depending on how long the hall reverberates. Since this piece wasn't intended to be a full orchestral performance in a concert hall, but within some palacial hall with tapestries, paintings and gold guilding. The group has to take time to let the hall quiet down before returning to the music (pacing), and it also can overwhelm the recording making everything layer over each other and not give much detail. Give this performance a listen in St. Petersburg, Russia:

Quite a different sound indeed! ;^)
Take a listen to Leonard Bernstein's version too!
Really?
Please listen to these versions, just to give an example ua-cam.com/video/5Wfd-Vzc1dw/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/5y_Z0u_LvJc/v-deo.html ,
Compare the musical power, the structure and balance, the design of the phrasing, the energy and involvement of the musicians...
I have been listening to this for forty years this is the most beautiful piece. It's absolutely holy. Makes me cry every time I listen to it.
its a work of art and one of tchaikovskys greatest works esp lyrically its soaring serene and sublime all in one!
I love Tchaikovsky
Did anybody write more gorgeous melodies? He always put the melody in the sweet spot of whatever instrument he was writing for.
Rachmaninoff's melodies were also quite beautiful
JE N'AI PAS COMPRIS I'M FRENCH DONC SPEAK FRENCH PLS
@@heloisebrette1031 lol imagine being mad of ppl speaking a different language. Please, there isnt only french in this world
Bach, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Dvorak, Puccini, Gershwin, Kern, Richard Rodgers, Harold Arlen, etc.
"A Night on Bald Mountain", also from a Big 5, is close.
"Sheredaze Op.35" is another really close one.
Nothing is the same as the feels from this one.
The piece to me still remains probably one of the best ways for an ear to begin to hear something like 18th century classiscal-whether its Dvorak, Tchaikovsky or basically any other composer.. For young people this can be a ticket to the rest, it was for me back in my teens in the 1970's.. It allows your ears to adjust to completely different music, the high emphasis on melody enhances it. Play it for your children and they will likely love it.
I love the part that begins at 10:35. So elegant, light, lilting--perfect!
1. Pezzo in Forma di Sonatina 0:03
2. Valse 10:33
3. Elegia 14:36
4. Finale (Tema russo) 23:08
Thank you !
vanboaconstrictor There’s always one.
Gracias, compadrito.
Thank you, your service is invaluable!
@Lorenzo Ryker okay mate;)
My fav composer and my fav song of his...beautiful playing.
I first heard this piece in the early '70s when I saw the New York City Ballet perform to this piece!! I was blown away by both the music and the ballet! It's a stirring piece! (and the ballet is wonderful!!!).
I can hear Tchaikovsky signatures all over the place, which means the ensemble interpretation is right on.
WHAT JE NE COMPRENDS PASS
I adore this piece. Never heard it played so sublimely. This is masterful, celestial, the pace, the dynamics, and the soulfulness -- it is heart-breaking. Bravi !!
Thanks for writing just what I was thinking but couldn't find the words for.
The sweetest that I have heard!
Absolutely heartbreaking it's saved my life.
I believe you can tell within the 1st few seconds how well a group will play this piece...unlike a lot of groups, this one had an A+ sound right away...well done...
I loved it, but I still feel that 2 more cellos and 1 more bass would have balanced it out. Seems top heavy on higher string level. There is a richness of bass in this composition that is not heard here.
@@DavidA-ps1qr I think their sound is exactly the style of Tchaikovsky - bright.
Top Notch all the way they should have stayed for at least three more calls the audience was thrilled by their performance!!!
This group is great, but, respectfully, I prefer Herbert von Karajan's version. As far as I can tell, just by listening and noting that von Karajan is a conductor of, in this case, a string orchestra, his version has a fuller, deeper quality than this chamber group. Tchaikovsky's Serenade COMMANDS that fuller, deeper quality. Respectfully, I thank you.
End not only in P.I.Tchaykovsky's music... Bravo!
The first time I heard this piece, I was at school, walking to my next class; the opening chords literally stopped me in my tracks.
in a school like that, I’ll never be early 😭
I went to a college in the midwest that’s known for its music school. I wasn’t a music major myself, but I took electives in the main music building. It was common to hear the university orchestra rehearsing.
Good times… ☺️
I've got a real soft spot for cyclical works, the fact that that powerfull string opening, full of hope, comes back after all those bars of music somehow makes it even more powerfull and deeply moving...
My high school orchestra played this whole piece last year and it was absolutely amazing, as is this performance
I’m In chamber orchestra in hs rn and we are learning the first movement
That's ambitious for any high school orchestra. The music is really transparent, which is to say that any mistakes are truly obvious. I think school orchestras have improved a lot from 50 years ago. So, congratulations.
Unbelievably awesome ensemble performance of a VERY tough piece!
one the best performaces ever....LOVE!!!
Yet another brilliant Dutch chamber orchestra. Congratulations Holland. This performance gave the cello, in particular, its rightful space and voice better than many, for once. Lovely Cathy Jones
I agree 100%
Absolutely and some rare viola love in there too. Use of Cello is just perfect in this piece.
Its funny. I watched a game my sister played which had this song in it. To this day I think it is the most beautiful piece of music I ever heard. So glad I found this performance :)
Evil within 2?
It's the Evil within 2, right?
I know a lot of classical music and even I didn't find out about this piece until I heard the opening notes on evil within 2
I absolutely love 10:35 - 14:17. Favorite part! Such a lovely waltz, so satisfying. I look at the audience and they're all sitting there like statues, not moving a muscle. I know I'd be swaying back and forth with the music or moving my head or something, geez! Music like that is felt in the soul. Thank you incredible orchestra and thank you, Tchaikovsky! Well done.
Love the fidelity and clarity of the cellos/basses in this recording.
A spellbinding performance!
I don't know why, but I have the feeling, Tchaikovsky must have enjoyed creating this beatuy of a Serenade. One word: Divine.
This was basically a passion project he did while working on the 1812 Overture, which was a commission. He definitely enjoyed writing it, and I agree that you can hear that in the music.
@@nathanboecker9318 Good to know! He also wrote in one of his letters, that he found the 1812 Overture to be too loud for his taste. I for myself thought so, too. Despite that, 1812 Overture is still a masterpiece! Greetings Nathan!
One of the most soul-satisfying pieces of music that I know. Beautifully done.
Glorious music. Tchaikovsky wrote this as a penance for the 1812 overture, which he described as 'loud and noisy'. This is utterly sublime. Thank you for the performance and the upload.
I've always found it fascinating that he wrote them at the same time. This one really does feel like he's trying hard to show what he sounds like when he's being true to himself.
Ok@@nathanboecker9318
Tchaikovsky's little sweetnesses...
Superb performance well deserved of a standing ovation!!!!!
Tanta belleza junta es difícil encontrar.Parece cómo si uno viviera en un mundo poco cruel después de esta serenata.Grandioda.Bella.Unica.Especial.Parece algo así como que haybelleza.From Argentina Jorgea alguien capaz de componer tanta

洋阿相
素晴らしい！このサイズの合奏団が指揮者無しで大曲を演奏する動画を視聴するのは初めての経験です。
艶やかな手触りを感じる音色と生き生きした躍動感で各楽章の曲想を見事に表現するアンサンブルは本当に見事です。特にチェロのピチカートにのって歌い始める第3楽章Elegiの美しさは胸を熱くするものがありました。暖かいライティングとスムーズなカメラワーク、鮮明な画質は映像としても優れて出来栄えであります。
A MI ME PARECE EXCELENTE SU COMENTARIO, GRACIAS POR SER TAN EXPLICITO.
Superb performance worthy of many more curtain calls !!!!!
Maybe the best rendition I have heard of this sublime piece. The Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the top five orchestras in the world in my opinion.
This is not the NPO, this is the Chamber Orchestra of the Concertgebouworkest.
Most definitely
@@demi3115 Yes I know but the Chamber Orchestra is an integral part of the Concertgebouworkest. The NPO provides wind instruments or other instruments when needed. The Chamber Orchestra also crosses over to the NPO when needed. My original comment still applies both are world class!
What a terrific performance (and what a beautiful hall the Concertgebouw is). Ever since I first heard this piece many years ago I have marveled at the range of sounds that Tchaikovsky draws form a string orchestra -- and I agree with Jordan Cortez Wartell that the chamber orchestra performance somehow allows us to hear the piece better.
Tchaikovsky asked for the greatest number of string players possible for this piece, but I honestly think this serenade works much better as a chamber piece as it's presented here. Marvelous sound!
As my amazing 14-piece secondary school string orchestra will attest!
But Karl Lieck did NOT like this. We are all different, eh? I can enjoy a single rose as much as a bunch of roses.
One of the world's greatest pieces played by one of the world's greatest orchestras. Can it get any better?
Very beaty and nice music. Wonderfull perfomance👏😊👍❤️🤍💜
I don't think there's a better beginning for a string serenade.... or for any other piece of music.
There was me, about to have a go at the overblown dramatic body language of the 1st violin leader, when I realised that there is no conductor ... correction: HE is the conductor. Top job, mate! Hope you got paid for Leader AND conductor. In any event you can be proud of the performance - the entire orchestra can be proud.
JS Bach smiles whenever musicians play this piece.
This is as good as it gets ......it is also my very humble opinion that this - and the Antonin Dvorak Serenade for Strings - are better suited to a chamber orchestra as opposed to a full orchestra where individuality seems to get lost .....I'm no expert - but I know what I like ....
I love this man and his music.
My favorite part starts at 12:22 through 14:08, it reminds me of the many radio shows my dad had where he played symphonies. He also had shows dedicated to classic pieces, ballet music, operas, operettas and zarzuelas as well as big band, jazz and blues. That is how my siblings and I learned to appreciate all kinds of music.
Una maravilla que toca el corazón. Sería bueno que mirarán el programa y no interrumpieran, los aplausos al final, necesitan mucha concentración. Gracias a los intérpretes conocemos la música. Respetémolos
22:53 I like how they played that last D Major Chord w/ Harmonics, it sounds like a Harmonica. Harmonica, Harmonics, get it?
Wonderful, my dear Tchaikovskij
Yes, the Tchaikovsky is still glorious and lifts my introverted, overly romantic, spirit into the clouds as it always has.
Always think of my dear father when I listen to this wonderful piece, as this was a favourite in his vinyl collection.
Спасибо за запись и комплименты.
19:55 We had this played by a string quartet at our wedding. Such beautiful music!
Awesome integrity and interpretation.
i need to hear this live
Actually I prefer these classics from my UA-cam vantage. Sounds are engineered in a very balanced way and cameras are normally spot on and closer than my cheap $30 tickets in the balcony.
I ádore Tchaikovsky music becaus I need
Peace in mind AND soul
The Tchaikovsky music give both peace AND tranquilos
Superb performance with respect from the audience as well now thats the way it should be all the time !!!!!
Surely that 3rd mvt is one of the best tunes ever. Such a joy to play! Lovely recording guys!
Simply amazing. Touches people on the inside.
Excellent interpretation and performance! The dynamics, phrasing, and the passion across the string orchestra were superb and very unique. It reminded me of my college days as a music major. This is by far the best rendition of this piece that I have heard and seen. Bravo! Mazeltov! Superbe!
I agree with your review!
I played this in high-school for orchestra class and let me just say… we weren’t ready for it.. this has gotta be a grade 6 at LEAST
tchaikovsky made the all the parts individual melody , and all the parts even ,and one of the best harmony ever composed🥰
what a beautiful music...!
I hear this and it tugs on the strings of my heart and shakes my soul. Tchaikovsky wrote a masterfully heart breaking masterpiece. Imagine hearing this live and him conducting it as he wrote it. I wonder what it would sound like.
So great to see a group so in touch with each other that they can perform following the lead of their principal violinist without the distraction of an over-egoed conductor
that's how most chamber orchestras perform :)
all I can say is: Bravo Bravo Bravo ! the best interpretation of this masterpiece I heard. I am very touched. Great orchestra.!!!I am very impressed and happy you posted it. Thank you!
Absolutely phenomenal, brilliant & just simply amazing- Tchaikovsky is smiling; you all played beautifully and with such skill :)
BRAVO !!
Great performance. I was moved during whole Elegia part. It just grabbed my heart and didn't want to let go until the Finale part started. Definitely worth listening.
I absolutely love this piece. Never thought of a horror game conveying me such masterpieces of music
@Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky It's "The Evil Within 2"
Bravissimo! Best wishes from Brazil.
And we wonder why no one wants to play viola. They had arguably the most supportive and eloquent role in this piece and got no recognition.
What a beautiful, glorious performance.
I've heard it many times in my life and it never ceases to fill me with joy.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Beautiful piece.
This is the truth...... nothing but.
Ruhuma renk kattı
colored my soul
Saludos desde Argentina!! Excelente!!
Wonderful
How wonderful interpretation! A magical piece, a gift for our ears! Thank you so much for sharing it 😊
Un versión magistral. Una sonoridad maravillosa !!!!!!
Musicalmente ...Espectacular !!!!!
The passage beginning at 22:25 is soul wrenchingly beautiful.
I agree. Produces in me a visceral, physical response. My favorite way to listen to this is in a darkened room at full volume.
I almost forgot to breathe...
Beautiful performance and wonderful ensemble playing!
Very good music,sound PERFORMANS .From the first notes to final chords! bravo.
THANK YOU!!...
Few are the videos on UA-cam that play this piece as it should be played.
Which ones are they? I presume this is one of them.
Hahaha haha... And you are the one to judge
So nice and so sensitive. A real delight!
10:34 I love this part!
Homeboy on the front was really feeling it
Homeboy on the front was conducting.
oh yesssss love this piece so much
his most perfect composition, beautifully performed
I had the opportunity to listen to this masterpiece on a concert in my city, I really liked it and now I'm glad I found it here :)
Nice music, no more no less.
Note that this is chamber music, recognizable to some of us amateurs because there's no conductor.
You must suffer for my ART
thank you! was looking for a comment like this!
