Peter Tchaikovsky finally established himself in 1888: On a four-month tour, he introduces himself for the first time as a conductor in Western Europe with his works and reaps predominantly positive reactions. For a freelance composer, he leads a relatively luxurious life and is also supported by a wealthy patroness, Nadezhda von Meck. But the highly sensitive artist suffers from self-doubt and depression. As a man who secretly loves men, he runs the risk of being discovered in the repressive Russian tsardom and possibly deported to a Siberian penal camp. Now, at the age of 48, Tchaikovsky is experiencing what today would be called a midlife crisis. The project of the Fifth Symphony is becoming a litmus test for him, as a letter to Nadezhda von Meck reveals: "I am often overcome by doubts, and I ask myself: Is it not time to stop? Have I not overexerted my imagination? Has the spring perhaps already dried up?" The premiere success of the Fifth Symphony, which Tchaikovsky conducted himself in St. Petersburg in November 1888, did not confirm these
There is something repulsive in it, patchwork, insincerity and artifice," he disparages his symphony to Nadezhda von Meck. Perhaps he did not quite trust the modernity of his own
It is possible that he did not really trust the modernity of his own composition: the ambivalences that can be found in it, the ambiguity that leads to music questioning itself here. For the funeral march that is intoned at the beginning overshadows everything that follows: the nervously restless course of the first movement, the emotional exuberance of the Andante cantabile and the exuberance of the waltz. In the finale, when the theme of the Funeral March becomes a Triumphal March, the euphoric ending seems somehow false. Tchaikovsky, his social position always at risk, seems to have no confidence in a happy ending.

My all time favorite symphony.
We love it, too! What makes it so special for you?
Love that the conductor isn’t afraid to let all the musicians shine whenever they have their moments! Sometimes it’s best to get out of their way and let the instruments play out!
Certainly, one of the best, if not the best performance of this symphony here on You Tube! The orchestra members play their hearts out for this great conductor!
Thank you very much!
We're glad that you like our performance 🥰
This symphony always takes me back to the beginning. I occasionally spin that old LP on The Kenwood turntable for a trip to the early seventies; featuring Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in Moscow? Or maybe Leningrad? My favorite is the second movement with the horn after the somber introduction. PWG
Sensational conducting, and great playing.
Absolutely wonderful, with special congratulations to Premysl Vojta for such a beautiful performance of the horn solo in the Andante. What a wonderful way to start the day!
Thank you very much! ❤
We are glad that you like it.
WDRの皆さんの演奏はなんと美しいのでしょう‼️ 各パートの、そしてお一人おひとりの響きがまるで宝石のように美しい‼️
これまで何度もこの５番を聴いてきましたが、皆さんの演奏で初めてこの曲の美しさを知りました。聞いている間じゅう涙が止まりませんでした。
ありがとうございます。日本の萩から心からの感謝をお伝えします。本当にありがとうございます。

Tchaikovsky is one of the greatest composers to ever exist. He wrote many earth shattering works. But the greatest and most encompassing of his life and scale of artistry, in my humble opinion, is the 5th symphony. It reaches to the depths of the soul like very few other pieces can. As a fan of ALL his symphonies (which are magnificent each of them) they don't hold a candle to this one.
We're happy that you like this symphony 😊
THAT GREAT

At 44:31 you would think that the ending roll on the timpani signalled the conclusion of the Symphony but no. There is more to come
Hier wird nicht auf Effekt gespielt, sondern das Großartige dieser Symphonie mit Intensität und Freude wiedergegeben und gerade das macht die starke Wirkung aus. Als Zuhörer ist man mittendrin.
Das freut uns! Vielen Dank!

Bravo trombone section!
Thank you!
A wonderful performance. However, this symphony is not subtitled "Fate"; that sobriquet applies to his fourth (F-moll, op. 36).
Thank you very much - also for the note. We will check this.
Hi, ted!
The Fifth Symphony got the subtitle (not by Tschaikowsky himself) the faith, so the video description is correct. It seems that in some, english speaking sources you find the Fourth in connection with the faith motive, but we cannot find any reliable source for that subtitle.
@@WDRKlassik Thanks; I found that the recurring main theme (motto theme) is sometimes called the "Fate theme" [Fate, by the way, not Faith], so you are correct. However, the Fourth Symphony is ALSO called the Fate symphony. It is a confusing situation!
@@WDRKlassik It's "Fate motive"; not "Faith motive".
Let’s say Symphony 4, 5 and 6 together is the trilogy of Fate by Tchaikovsky.
