Thank you for posting the names of the individual orchestral musicians. We often forget the composer and the conductor are not the only people involved. Lastly, youtube's penchant for cutting off the audience response to post an ad is as disrespectful a gesture as one can experience. Imagine, being in the concert hall and as soon as the last note is played, you're told to get out.
Those ads were the reason I decided it was worth it to me to upgrade my account to Premium. So frustrated with interruptions, not even at the breaks between movements - just random acts of advertising. I have never regretted the upgrade. What a joy to hear these great pieces from start to finish, including the standing ovations and acknowledgment of the soloists. If you can afford the extra fee, it may be worth it for you too.
I first heard this Symphony in 1948 and was hooked, and have remained so since. At 92 I am short of superlatives to describe this best ever performance. There is still hope for humanity after all.
Wow! I'm 61, and it was 1977 when I heard The New World. My best friend Mark Owens had tickets for a performance by the Sacramento Symphony, and he invited me. That experience is now a landmark in my youth. I bought a record and often played it at home on my dad's Magnavox console stereo with built-in record player. Now, this morning, UA-cam's algorithm suggests this particular recording for me, so I decided first I would see how many upvotes it's received, and then I scanned down to discover your comments. So, I will be saving this for later listening.
19 minutes, only violin and cello, at the very core of the 2nd movement. Second of silence beforehand to focus your attention. Bam, possibly the most beautiful few seconds of music ever written. For me anyway. So many highlights from Dvorak's crowning achievement. What a piece of music
@@hoodandco29 I agree!!! I'd sit there with my flute in my lap counting out those measures 1 2 3 4 2 2 3 4 what's going to be woken up by my head screaming at me 'hey ' reminding me that I had to come in soon.
As the orchestra is from a Slovenian Secondary School (that's high school to us) you can now find your faith restored in what schools can teach us, too. Rejoice!
This symphony has so much meaning for me, growing up on the wide. lonely plains of Midwest farm country. It encompasses the power of the land as Copland does- and in an even greater sense because it came from an outside perspective of America. This orchestra is also full of people so young! And that youthful passion shows through in this performance. This rendition brought a tear to my eye, and a fresh gust of high plains wind through my soul. My only regret is I wasn't there at the show! Thank you to everyone who played, and for posting this for us all to enjoy. ❤
I have conducted that symphony more than once. I think I know it well. , One of my favorite symphonies to conduct. I can tell you that this orchestra is not overrated contrary to what I read in some comments. It does not have the polish maybe of some of the top US or European orchestras, especially in some of the entrances and some tuning in the winds and brass.. BUT! What people need to listen to is the music, the absolutely beautiful phrasing, the wide range of dynamics, the passion. "It makes sense". It flows beautifullly This symphony comes alive.with this conductor and this orchestra. I have heard this symphony many many times, with some of the best conductors colleagues of mine with some of the best orchestras, I have never been as touched as with this particular performance, It is simply.... beautiful. Also. it is an orchestra where musicians listen to each other as if playing in a chamber music groups. Extraordinary.
Yes, that is correct. In fact the switch in the tuning was far more progressive. There were many studies done on why the human hear and the raising of the pitch for the past 400 years.
Great to hear... so much of everything is analysed to paralysed these days. What I think you are saying is the great arc of this performance communicates the power of the message in an unprecedented way - and if that is what you were saying, I could not agree with you more!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I love this symphony as well. Played cello in this in High school in the early 1980s. One thing I love about orchestra music and the whole concept of the conductor is the way it reminds me of God. The great composer, orchestrator conductor and director of all life. Sometimes I need to rest, sometimes I need to play quietly, sometimes I'm the main part. But I always have to keep my eye on the conductor and follow his lead and read the music he's given me he makes everything beautiful in his time. Praise His name
Our conductor (community orchestra) always recognizes and has those with solos or very exposed parts stand during the ovation - those players work very hard to be the extraordinary musicians they are, and deserve the recognition
I am very proud to come from the same country as this brilliant composer. And I'm always moved when I hear his work in such a great performance as here..
Děkuju vam mockrat, Antonin, eh? Dobry den! -- I learned Cech for 3 yrs., early 1980s ... Went there - do Prahy -- to Prague - the year before the Iron Curtain fell ... Ahhhh ... cestina ... Czech Re[uoblic ... Moravia ... Slovakia ... What a BREAUTFIUL country! Kraaaaasna jazyk, krasna zeme ... Možná bude vaše štěstí
I've seen people claim this symphony is overrated. Sorry, but you will not convince me of that. This is hands down one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. It's easily top 5 best symphonies imo. It's perfect the entire way through.
@@gilbertdaroy6080 As much as I enjoy Brahms' symphonies, especially the first two, this is so much more dynamic than Brahms on his best day, and the slow movement cannot be exceeded, in my opinion.
Like many viewers, I am 70 years old and have been listening to this symphony for over 50 years. This music always gives me goose-bumps at certain places; however, this performance gave them to me during the entire piece! May I congratulate all these musicians and this maestro. The French horns and the kettle drums are absolutely THE BEST BAR NONE. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!
This is a superlative performance of a majestic work, a favorite of mine for decades. As an amateur percussionist and tympanist I was very impressed with the way in which the tympanist executed his parts of the music. Rather than attacking the drums, he coaxed the sound out of the heads by hitting the surfaces on an upstroke, leading to an otherwise much fuller sound. Bravo! Kudos as well to the other performers!
For the perfectionists posting here, please remember that this is a youth orchestra, with a young maestro. There will be the occasional error - that’s part of gaining experience. That considered, this orchestra is unbeatable in the quality of their performance and the range of orchestral music they cover.
My father introduced me to this symphony back in the sixties, so i was listening to the beatles, Dvorak's nineth and classical in general, all at once I cannot thank him enough because this trend in musical appreciation continues on for me, up to this day
With all due respect I was here for a 30 second to a minute clip from one piece but stayed watching the whole thing and I wasn’t disappointed this was amazing
The child may also resonate well with some Holz Planets Suite or Smetana The Moldau...can you imagine a river flowing? Child will take it from there. Beautiful music takes flight where the imagination takes it,or maybe imagination takes flight following beautiful music...either way good plan.🙏
Outstanding! I'm 70 and have been listening to this symphony for at least 50 years. I never heard a more touching performance. I do have tears. To see young people doing this, for love, offsets so much of the foulness of recent history and gives me hope for the future.
I am 74. I fell in love with this over fifty years ago. Last night I was privileged to see it performed live for the very first time at St. George’s Hall, Bradford, England. It was the Brno Philharmonic. A Czech orchestra playing the most famous piece by their most famous composer.
A European composer wrote this magnificent piece inspired by his impressions of the USA during the late 19th century....,just shut my eyes & I can "see" what Dvorak felt! Also such a youthful orchestra & conductor perform it beautifully...,Simpatico...,del cuore la sensazione !!
I get a chill whenever I hear this music. I can only imagine how the first audience felt in 1893, when this symphony premiered at Carnegie Hall in New York. If I could I'd go back in time, just to see Dvorak conduct this masterpiece.
Although I am not an expert in the field of music, I have never heard a more beautiful, perfect expression of the musical form. This performance of the New World Symphony is a testimony to the fact that music is a universal language.
I cried watching this. Lost my partner two years ago and and lost my connection with music. The intimacy of the filming of the players... Something came back. Thank you x
Just a time stamp in case you want to go to specific movements: 1. First Movement. Adagio - Allegro Molto : 0:02 2. Second Movement. Largo : 9:16 3. Third Movement. Scherzo - Molto vivace : 21:25 4. Fourth Movement. Allegro Con fuoco : 29:05
an excellent example of the duality of man. don't be discouraged. this isn't the only wonderful thing man has done. (i know, i know. i'm using man as a genderless pronoun. the duality of persons doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.)
There have always been and will be cruel people. Our task is not to let them prevail over the beauty of life. In Argentina we currently have that situation, in this case with whoever governs us... Hopefully we can overcome it and manage to return to the peace we had. I salute those who, through music, lift the spirit and move us like Dvorak!! 🤗🙋🏻♂️
Wonderful conductor, magnificent orchestra and many thanks to the people operating the camera for the video. It is great to see them picking out the soloists throughout the performance. Alos kudos to the sound engineers. All round five star performance, thank much.
The most poignant moment during this entire performance happens at 10:00 in the video. The conductor looks at his English horn player and gives her an acknowledging smile as if to say, "It's all you, my dear. Make us proud." You feel as if you are a small part of a very intimate professional relationship. And that is beautiful.
My Dad and I first heard this symphony in the mid 70's. We were in a Warehouse Record Store and it was playing all through the store. Normally you hear rock. We both fell in love with it and each bought a copy. Still play the record and other performances. One of my favorites. Lost my Dad 3 years ago. I have a picture of him listening to records with me 3 years prier. I hung it in the Livingroom. I feel he is listening with me. Your performance is outstanding.
I love the internet sometimes! I came across this piece through Facebook reels. It's performances like this that absolutely make me miss honor choir. Thats when I first fell in love with music. Beautiful performance 👏
I heard this classical piece when I was 12 years old in radio station belonging to completely other country’s time zone .. It was an ongoing obsession for me to always wait for this piece .. And then few months later I literally bought a cassette of the entire symphony from HMV records .. Till date I have those cassettes although I don’t listen from cassettes , this piece is such a spiritual experience for me …
@ Kristýna .Lédlová I'm not Czech but Dvořák is also my composer. His works belong to the whole humanity, without borders. However I never understood the "pride" thing. The only person that can be proud of Dvořák is Dvořák himself. Same for being born Czech, Chinese or Bengali. You didn't choose to be born to a specific nation. You should be proud of things you do, not the things you are.
To Parsifal: You are what you feel and how that affects what you do. If you don't feel Czech and feel Russian (post 1956 for instance) then you do different things. What is understood readily by others changes. And that chain of actions makes a different you. People find meaning initially in their culture. Only when they exceed those bounds do we create something beyond it. And for most who do exceed those bounds, they much prefer to gather in what they have learned from other cultures to enhance their own than to claim it as theirs. And that is the miracle of Symphony #9: From the New World.
Same lol Stuffy adults repeatedly telling me the rock/metal/techno/game soundtracks/whatever I liked were garbage and that classical was much better, from my childhood to my twenties, might have done it :P I try to remember that when there's a new popular thing that doesn't agree with me
While that may be true, as a listener, I'm not thinking about the past. I am responding with my own emotions. It's the music and art that transcends a particular place and time that still resonates. This piece is an example
I was very excited to land in the USA 30 years ago, was inspired by this music and full of imagination for this New World. After 30 years up-down-up-down-...., now I am seeking a new world again. The world is not the same any more, and a true New World might not exist in this planet, but the inspiration from this music will last forever, it is universal.
I visited the church in middle of beautifull Czechia where Dvorak started as a young musician. It all came to context, he didn't create music for pundits, experts or nobility. He created music for everyday person and that's why is so melodic, moving and easy to understand.
I did not think that any orchestra could match the power, the fullness and arrangements of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, but these youths and their most human of conductors is at the least the match of Berlin.
I LOVE THAT YOU GAVE THE NAMES OF EVERYONE EVEN INCLUDING TECHNICAL PEOPLE AND EVEN CAMERA PEOPLE - EVERYONE GOT CREDIT IN THE DESCRIPTION, FINALLY - THAT'S A FIRST !!! (I'M A CAMERA PERSON TOO) SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE, AND POLITE AUDIENCE, TO WAIT FEW SECONDS FOR THE CONDUCTOR TO FINISH, AND NOT RUIN THE RECORDING, BY CLAPPING OVER THE ENDING !!! (I EVEN LIKE THE CONDUCTOR'S SUIT !!!)
Dear,polite audience,simple rolls when to clap hands used to be taught win every school in Serbia and definitely in Slovenia and other so called Eastern European Countries....we did not have lot's of things from the "New world" but nothing can't kill the culture......
@@mirjanamilosavljevic4261 I visited Yugoslavia before the secession wars, just after Tito's demise and the end of the USSR. I found it a great country where peace was breathed, everyone felt safe and Croats, Serbians and Muslims not only coexisted but sat at the sidewalk cafés drinking together. I loved it. Cars were left with the windows down at dusk in the parks; I never felt the underlying tensions. Blonde and dark girls strolling at dusk together, teens in uniform strumming guitars and singing in the plaza. Could never ubderstand what happened two years after. You were a great country when you were a united Yugoslavia. Guess you could never accept there are different people all over the world and makes me pessimist about the future of the world. I'd love to go back before I'm too old to walk; hopefully the pandemic will let me do so soon.
I have loved this music for at least 50 years, but never before have I heard it performed with such PASSION. Amazing! And all played by kids about the age I was when I first heard this. Wonderful! BRAVO to all! Robert Anderson
My mom played this in my home as young child. My dad was born in Czech too but from Poland mostly. He escaped a Nazi camp. My parents split when I was baby. Glad to hear this again from Czech composer.
I can barely get enough of this piece and the young musicians playing it here. I must have watched and savored this presentation fifty times already and enjoyed it as much as I did the very first time. A masterpiece by any measure.
My mom learned me to listen to music. This symphony is about the new world. You can see the mountains, the plains , the river etc. This second part of the Largo is my absolut favorit. It is the burial of an native American. Love it and i play it oft
Maestro Nesj Bečan, in his absolute comprehension of Antonín Dvořák's score, makes all the instruments of the musical canvas resonate, speak and shine in all the splendor and magnificence of this majestic work of art. Incomparable conducting and playing. Immensely gratified.
Have just watched this today 11 January 2025 and was so emotional during this timeless performance, I have no words to describe the absolute ecstasy I experienced. Thank you to all the conductor and performers.
I am a professional translator. I'm the boss in my own company. The great thing of translating texts is that you can "combine" it with listening to classical music. So I start translating, then I switch on music like this video and then I watch this performance breathlessly until the end. And only then I continue to translate. As I said, translating and listening to music at the same time: a fantastic combination... :)
My favorite of all symphonies. Performed with perfection and zest... a real joy. I listen to it every other month.... it is so calming and at the time invigoration!!
Thank you, to UA-cam, thanks Antonio Dvorak's, thanks director Becan, and thanks ; zevnikov . For make me feel happy, unsparing leasing to this beautiful symphony#9. 🙏❤️💛🧡
I first heard this wonderful piece of music when I was 14, in 1954, when I was baby sitting for a family. They had a hi-fi system and many classical records. One of which was the “New World”, a tribute to our nation, America..
The last time I heard this piece it was played by the Auckland Philharmonic. I had tears running down my cheeks from the sheer beauty. This version is beautiful.
I am so happy for the young lady that played the English horn solo in the second movement. You could tell she poured herself totally into it. Wonderful.
Cette symphonie était mon "rock" à moi dans mon adolescence. C'est toujours un bonheur quelques décennies plus tard.. Fantastique orchestre et fabuleux chef.❣️Frissons garantis 👏👏 🎶💓🎶🙏✨✨
The New World has been one of my favorites since hearing it for the first time in high school, 1958. So I had planned to put this on as background as I worked on a boring spreadsheet. The 1st movement was a bit distracting but the start of Largo I just had to bring the video up to see what was happening. The youthful composition of the orchestra was amazing; such maturity in the performance. And then there are the camera selections carrying me to the instruments of interest as they lead; and the sound engineering is all captivating. Did I catch a conductor's smile of satisfaction at the end of Largo? This is amazing.
Privileged to accompany my high school son on a European tour and Youth Music festival in Vienna, Austria, in 1992. There were 11 wind ensembles competing.. the top 5 easily had this caliber of performance. Our group (Greater Milwaukee Youth Wind Ensemble....high schoolers who had to be invited to audition to join...) took First prize, with only a Japanese group above them taking Grand prize. An amazing experience. The point is... high schoolers can be absolutely stunning musicians.
@@kareemahmullen8940 I agree. According to the website, they are a youth orchestra normally but this recording might have a few youths in it, but it definitely not composed of mainly high school students.

It's what makes humans humans - capability of both great good and beauty, and utter evil and savagery.

We live in a world of duality. We come here to learn by it.
There have always been and will be cruel people. Our task is not to let them prevail over the beauty of life. In Argentina we currently have that situation, in this case with whoever governs us... Hopefully we can overcome it and manage to return to the peace we had. I salute those who, through music, lift the spirit and move us like Dvorak!! 🤗🙋🏻♂️
Perhaps, if having grown up listening to such music, fewer people would be cruel.
Absolutely Fabulous a wonderful conductor with a wonderful young Orchestra!!! Ted Hilron
Wonderful conductor, magnificent orchestra and many thanks to the people operating the camera for the video. It is great to see them picking out the soloists throughout the performance. Alos kudos to the sound engineers. All round five star performance, thank much.
I heard it at the radio for first time when I was 12. It moved me profoundly. Now at 79 it still does.
I keep coming back to listen to this beautiful recording. What a marvellous conductor...❤ 👏 👏
The most poignant moment during this entire performance happens at 10:00 in the video. The conductor looks at his English horn player and gives her an acknowledging smile as if to say, "It's all you, my dear. Make us proud." You feel as if you are a small part of a very intimate professional relationship. And that is beautiful.
LoL maybe is that, it can be just the conductor got the feelings of the piece idk
It looks more like a clarinet she's playing.
@@rosiep3209 I checked and it seems actually an english horn ;)
@@JonathanLivingston87 ok
made me rewind thank you
My Dad and I first heard this symphony in the mid 70's. We were in a Warehouse Record Store and it was playing all through the store. Normally you hear rock. We both fell in love with it and each bought a copy. Still play the record and other performances. One of my favorites. Lost my Dad 3 years ago. I have a picture of him listening to records with me 3 years prier. I hung it in the Livingroom. I feel he is listening with me. Your performance is outstanding.

My family thought that I was weird because I love CLASSICAL MUSIC. This was unusual for a black family.
WOW I totally understand as the same holds true for me too.
How wonderful to see the younger generation make such wonderful music. Bravo to all.
I love the internet sometimes! I came across this piece through Facebook reels.
It's performances like this that absolutely make me miss honor choir. Thats when I first fell in love with music. Beautiful performance 👏

Amazing conducting by Maestro Bečan! The Largo is beautifully performed. The whole symphony is beautifully performed. Brava! Bravo!
This orchestra provides the most exquisite emotion whenever I listen.
Among numerous performances, this orchestra is my favorite.

I heard this classical piece when I was 12 years old in radio station belonging to completely other country’s time zone .. It was an ongoing obsession for me to always wait for this piece ..
And then few months later I literally bought a cassette of the entire symphony from HMV records .. Till date I have those cassettes although I don’t listen from cassettes , this piece is such a spiritual experience for me …

Great conductor. Great orchestra. Great composer. We also liked their fantastic rendition of Scheherazade. Wunderbar!

Again, nothing they do disappoints.
So proud to be Czech. So proud of our composer Dvořák. So proud of our culture. Great performance too. Thank you for it.
Stay Proud! A great culture that always finds its heart in everything it does.
Thank you for the contribution to the mankind!
@ Kristýna .Lédlová
I'm not Czech but Dvořák is also my composer. His works belong to the whole humanity, without borders.
However I never understood the "pride" thing. The only person that can be proud of Dvořák is Dvořák himself.
Same for being born Czech, Chinese or Bengali. You didn't choose to be born to a specific nation. You should be proud of things you do, not the things you are.
@@parsifal6094 fair here
To Parsifal: You are what you feel and how that affects what you do. If you don't feel Czech and feel Russian (post 1956 for instance) then you do different things. What is understood readily by others changes. And that chain of actions makes a different you. People find meaning initially in their culture. Only when they exceed those bounds do we create something beyond it. And for most who do exceed those bounds, they much prefer to gather in what they have learned from other cultures to enhance their own than to claim it as theirs. And that is the miracle of Symphony #9: From the New World.
This was the first piece of Classical music my mother played in our household and is why I still enjoy Classical Music still.
My Parents: "he's probably listening to some modern profane garbage"
Me rocking out to this bop: *aggressive conductor movements

chuckle, perhaps if they are stuck in Vivaldi, this is "modern profane", but I would not call i garbage :-)
@@andrewkatz5035 stuck in Vivaldi?! Sincerely hope you mean that solely in a purely chronological way
Ian, What you describe is how it is and always has been. "... teach your parents well..."
As a Czech must say that this is one of the best performance i've ever heard 😮 incredible kids 🙊👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
These are youngsters, and they're fantastic!
I'm late to classical music in my mid 30's and this just blew my mind.
Never too late.
Better late than never…!
Same lol
Stuffy adults repeatedly telling me the rock/metal/techno/game soundtracks/whatever I liked were garbage and that classical was much better, from my childhood to my twenties, might have done it :P
I try to remember that when there's a new popular thing that doesn't agree with me
the melody is played in my heart, running through my veins. So beautiful😍
Listening to classical music is like embarking on a journey through the epochs, where the melodies become portals to the emotions of bygone eras. 🚀🎶

While that may be true, as a listener, I'm not thinking about the past. I am responding with my own emotions. It's the music and art that transcends a particular place and time that still resonates. This piece is an example
I was very excited to land in the USA 30 years ago, was inspired by this music and full of imagination for this New World. After 30 years up-down-up-down-...., now I am seeking a new world again. The world is not the same any more, and a true New World might not exist in this planet, but the inspiration from this music will last forever, it is universal.
The New World is what you are inspired to do and be. If you hold this music in your heart you will never grow old.

Yes...Every Empire had its day in the Sun... and then failed... usually from Within.. (and similar human weaknesses.... Sorry and then Cheers... ...
What a beautiful performance. I love this symphony. Had Dvorak not visited the United States, we would all be the poorer for it.
I visited the church in middle of beautifull Czechia where Dvorak started as a young musician. It all came to context, he didn't create music for pundits, experts or nobility. He created music for everyday person and that's why is so melodic, moving and easy to understand.
I have listened to other orchestras do this piece, but this is still my favorite.
I did not think that any orchestra could match the power, the fullness and arrangements of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, but these youths and their most human of conductors is at the least the match of Berlin.
I LOVE THAT YOU GAVE THE NAMES OF EVERYONE EVEN INCLUDING TECHNICAL PEOPLE AND EVEN CAMERA PEOPLE - EVERYONE GOT CREDIT IN THE DESCRIPTION, FINALLY - THAT'S A FIRST !!! (I'M A CAMERA PERSON TOO)
SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE, AND POLITE AUDIENCE, TO WAIT FEW SECONDS FOR THE CONDUCTOR TO FINISH, AND NOT RUIN THE RECORDING, BY CLAPPING OVER THE ENDING !!!
(I EVEN LIKE THE CONDUCTOR'S SUIT !!!)
Dear,polite audience,simple rolls when to clap hands used to be taught win every school in Serbia and definitely in Slovenia and other so called Eastern European Countries....we did not have lot's of things from the "New world" but nothing can't kill the culture......

@@mirjanamilosavljevic4261 I visited Yugoslavia before the secession wars, just after Tito's demise and the end of the USSR. I found it a great country where peace was breathed, everyone felt safe and Croats, Serbians and Muslims not only coexisted but sat at the sidewalk cafés drinking together. I loved it. Cars were left with the windows down at dusk in the parks; I never felt the underlying tensions. Blonde and dark girls strolling at dusk together, teens in uniform strumming guitars and singing in the plaza. Could never ubderstand what happened two years after. You were a great country when you were a united Yugoslavia. Guess you could never accept there are different people all over the world and makes me pessimist about the future of the world. I'd love to go back before I'm too old to walk; hopefully the pandemic will let me do so soon.
I have loved this music for at least 50 years, but never before have I heard it performed with such PASSION. Amazing! And all played by kids about the age I was when I first heard this. Wonderful! BRAVO to all!

This young orchestra is very tight, beautiful, love it♥️🌹
My mom played this in my home as young child. My dad was born in Czech too but from Poland mostly. He escaped a Nazi camp. My parents split when I was baby. Glad to hear this again from Czech composer.
Wow your dad escaped a Nazi concentration camp

I can barely get enough of this piece and the young musicians playing it here. I must have watched and savored this presentation fifty times already and enjoyed it as much as I did the very first time.
A masterpiece by any measure.
Zevnikov is my favorite director. He sees things in the music most directors miss. A pleasure to listen to!
Superb! Inspirational! Thank you so much!
My mom learned me to listen to music. This symphony is about the new world. You can see the mountains, the plains , the river etc. This second part of the Largo is my absolut favorit. It is the burial of an native American. Love it and i play it oft
This work is outstanding. One of the greatest musical treats ever
Maestro Nesj Bečan, in his absolute comprehension of Antonín Dvořák's score, makes all the instruments of the musical canvas resonate, speak and shine in all the splendor and magnificence of this majestic work of art. Incomparable conducting and playing. Immensely gratified.
I am so very glad I stumbled into this orchestra's recordings! absolutely wonderful!
I so agree!
Me too

Have just watched this today 11 January 2025 and was so emotional during this timeless performance, I have no words to describe the absolute ecstasy I experienced. Thank you to all the conductor and performers.
MAY THE COMPOSER AND THE ORCHESTRA AND THE CONDUCTOR LIVE. 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The enthusiasm these young artist show when they play Antonin Dvorak shows how they appreciate their own heritage.
I have heard and seen lots of fine music, but I get to say, this is one of the BEST I have heard and enjoyed...!!!!
I am a professional translator. I'm the boss in my own company. The great thing of translating texts is that you can "combine" it with listening to classical music. So I start translating, then I switch on music like this video and then I watch this performance breathlessly until the end. And only then I continue to translate. As I said, translating and listening to music at the same time: a fantastic combination... :)
I discovered this symphony about 40 years ago and loved it immediately. I love the recurring spiritual theme throughout the symphony
My favorite of all symphonies. Performed with perfection and zest... a real joy. I listen to it every other month.... it is so calming and at the time invigoration!!
Thank you, to UA-cam, thanks Antonio Dvorak's, thanks director Becan, and thanks ; zevnikov . For make me feel happy, unsparing leasing to this beautiful symphony#9. 🙏❤️💛🧡
I first heard this wonderful piece of music when I was 14, in 1954, when I was baby sitting for a family. They had a hi-fi system and many classical records. One of which was the “New World”, a tribute to our nation, America..
OMG - Goose bumps - standing ovation is so well deserved 🙏🇳🇴
The last time I heard this piece it was played by the Auckland Philharmonic. I had tears running down my cheeks from the sheer beauty. This version is beautiful.
Not only very good performance of the young orchestra, but also a technical , proffesional video recording, editing..
100% agree, those aerial shots are awesome ❤
I am so happy for the young lady that played the English horn solo in the second movement. You could tell she poured herself totally into it. Wonderful.
at least someone else felt that!
I was listening for her the whole time
She of course was perfect, but I liked the little smile the conductor gave her when it came her moment to shine...
I'm not alone!
Thank you Antonín Dvořák.
Cette symphonie était mon "rock" à moi dans mon adolescence.
C'est toujours un bonheur quelques décennies plus tard..
Fantastique orchestre et fabuleux chef.❣️Frissons garantis 👏👏 🎶💓🎶🙏✨✨
I made my 8-year-old daughter listen to this and she loved it. Now she knows about Antonin Dvorak, and this extraordinary New World symphony.
You are a great parent!
Super! So viel Ausdruck, Dynamik und Feuer!
The New World has been one of my favorites since hearing it for the first time in high school, 1958. So I had planned to put this on as background as I worked on a boring spreadsheet. The 1st movement was a bit distracting but the start of Largo I just had to bring the video up to see what was happening. The youthful composition of the orchestra was amazing; such maturity in the performance. And then there are the camera selections carrying me to the instruments of interest as they lead; and the sound engineering is all captivating. Did I catch a conductor's smile of satisfaction at the end of Largo? This is amazing.
Semplicemente grandiosi!!!!!!!!!!!!!......complimenti
0:00 1st Movement - Adagio - Allegro molto
9:15 2nd Movement - Largo
21:22 3rd Movement - Scherzo. Molto Vivace

This is the best version I've ever heard .... Young rules !!!
Just a very wonderful performance by the conductor and all members of orchestra, splendid
An amazing conductor who coaxes world class performances from essentially a school band. I'm in awe.
Though still young, most of these faces look beyond high school - essentially a symphony orchestra, no band.
What is conductor’s name?!
@@philodonoghue3062 his name is in the description
Privileged to accompany my high school son on a European tour and Youth Music festival in Vienna, Austria, in 1992. There were 11 wind ensembles competing.. the top 5 easily had this caliber of performance. Our group (Greater Milwaukee Youth Wind Ensemble....high schoolers who had to be invited to audition to join...) took First prize, with only a Japanese group above them taking Grand prize. An amazing experience. The point is... high schoolers can be absolutely stunning musicians.
@@kareemahmullen8940 I agree. According to the website, they are a youth orchestra normally but this recording might have a few youths in it, but it definitely not composed of mainly high school students.
