Let's give an applause to the amazing camera works 👏
For me the phrasing is too flat and the tempo is too slow, lacking the agitation and intensity that can characterize much of Brahms’ music. Not bad though.
Thanks, Oslo Philharmonic!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Greetings from Finland...
Happy Midsummer ▫️ Hyvää Juhannusta ❕
Thanks, Philharmonic!
Thank you because you recreated one of the greatest symphonies ever written. And thank you Herr Brahms. Through this music you will live forever and that it as it should be,
The last movement is on my top 5 list of favorite pieces of music. Brahms was such a genius. The beauty in his music is unsurpassed.
"peaces" of music?
Which are your other 4? :)
Bach #150 & influences
Klaus conducts the Symphony in a confident way. I look forward to his mature performance a decade later.
This is already a totally mature performance by this exceptional group of musicians. Klaus is the enabler or facilitator of the memorable performance.😊
Agony, immortality, sorrow, human philosophy, yearning for GOD, those are the expected in Brahm's 4. More abundant harmony and communications between instruments based on more open and dispersed harmonies. Years later, I do expect Makela will be shoulder to shoulder with GREAT MAESTROES.
i second
Brahms didn't believe in God, he was agnostic.
I think that Klaus Mäkelä simply enjoys making great music together. He is not just directing the orchestra. He becomes one of the instruments, creating a true bond with everybody.
Love all your videos. Thank you Oslo Philharmonic for the gifts, best wishes from México.
Sensational. I can't believe this is for free.
The quality of production is out of this world!
Maravilhosa orquestra. Entra na alma....
The Muses granted Johannes Brahms the opportunity to leave Heaven, take a day off, and visit Oslo. This is what happened, as documented in this video. Brahms and the Muses are most pleased, keeping open Heaven's doors so that all in heaven can listen in to this divine performance.
Again, this is OK, but go back and listen to the old Karajan recording. If you're allergic to Karajan, give the Carlos Kleiber/Vienna Phil. one a shot. Those are operating on an entirely different plane. In American recordings, George Szell wasn't exactly a slouch either.
노르웨이를 포함한 북유럽에서는 젊고 괜찮은 지휘자가 끊임없이 나오는구나.
So impressive! I love this channel so much. The quality of video is amazing.
So beautiful Symphony ! Thank -you so much Oslo Philharmonic !
What a combination - Brahms and the Oslo Philharmonic led by the fantastic Klaus Makela! A dream!
Oh! How stunning Brahms it is. I happened to listen to on youtube. There are so many various theme, rhythm and articulation, also dynamism too. they say Brahms music is so difficult to appreciate his composition, especially how to combine every theme with a built -in changing suitable tempo which is concerned with his musical spirit and colorful thought. I would feel we might not to play through out in the same speed, because he had so many musical idea and graceful heart. Occasionally I used to listen to Yang Karajan No.4 with BPO. depend on my inclination. Anyway I would appreciate Oslo Philharmonic's calm, sound and sensibility so much.(soon be 91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.
Looking for Shostakovich's "Leningrad" symphony I met this conductor; I loved his version and from then on, I am a follower of his work. Without a doubt a great director and artist! Greetings from Chile!
Indeed, mine too, I met him on that Schostakowitsch's Symphony and then this Brahms' 4th Symphony, so I started to follow his works too!
This recording is exceptionally good. Mäkelä is such a bright conductor, really at the service of the music,, the Oslo Philharmonic has really a nice sound, passionate but precise for all the instruments. The sound is so well layered, but at the same time the parts are so clear, and that is also thanks to the acoustics of this place and the careful and intelligent microphone recording.
Happy Birthday Klaus Makela 🇫🇮!
The conductor and orchestra sound fantastic - and certainly are - but my hats off to the sound engineers. I think we all tend to forget them, but they really can "make or break". Here the sound recording is fantastic. (The conductor and orchestra are brilliant, but could so easily have been "broken" by a second rate recording team.) So often the sound crew is ignored, but here they clearly deserve being singled out ... Bravo!
This rendition of BRAHM'S FOURTH SYMPHONY is a good one, but I woudn't throw confetti on it. For me, the best renditions of BRAHM'S SYMPHONIES are the ones performed under the conduction by KARL BÖHM in the 1970s.
この生き生きとした空間。
ブラームスの4番って、こんなだった！
オケの誇らしい顔。これが全てを語る。
I love watching these musicians feel the music they play with their movements, and I am smitten with Klaus' energy every time he leads. Every time.
smitten is the word. the rest is...
Thank you for sharing this performance! I've been to Oslo only once. Hope to return one day and watch your wonderful orchestra in person. Greetings from Los Angeles!
One of Brahms' brilliant pieces. I really like this composer!
First 2 min. Like all first encounters
Une direction inspirée et très calme, mais avec la fougue qu'il faut quand la musique de Brahms le requiert .
I'm so happy to hear such a beautiful music lying on my bed
Cool! Did you fell asleep fast or you managed to endure awake till the recapitulation of Movement 1?
You start listening the video with your eyes closed and think, "This quite possibly is conducted by someone who is 95 years old". You open your eyes...well, you'd better close them again...
Blomstedt has more fire.
It does indeed sound like it's conducted by a 95-year old.
Esta obra me atrapó desde el primer movimiento. Traté de escucharla con otros conductores consagrados de mayor renombre, y ninguno le daba (en mi humilde e ignorante opinión) la dulzura que le impregna Mäkelä. Un verdadero deleite para los oídos.
BORING It reminds me of Hugh MacDonald’s phrase “a hammy mime of soulfulness”
Just wonder how magnificent Mr. Johann will compliment this spectacular creation.
Thank you Klaus and thank you Great Orchestra.❤
This is a wonderful piece by Brahms.
And thank you for the wonderful performance.
Ah, I'm in love, Romanticism at her beautifully sensitive moment.
This might be a weird thing to say, but I was even quite impressed by some of the sectional page turns. A very evocative performance indeedǃ
Mäkelä is a superstar.
no
@@sansovino4124 Yes.
@@keltus_warrior6491 Really, no.
His conducting is strangely impressive. Like his choice of costume...and the knowing smiles, eyes. His body swaying in the wind like a reed, more smiles, eyes...an Actor, an Interpreter of Suave Force and a Public to his own Orchestra. All the while...dressed like a Waiter. That's what i see and hear. A Paradox. His treatment of this Majestic Work is ample proof of his command of the Atmosphere on the staff. He may be, only 25 but his uncanny habit of downplaying his baton's movements and his own body's... to the point of near-immobilism is good enough for me and my full attention. This young man is next on the Stellar Front of Conductors. He breathes command even when he doesn't do anything but move as little as possible. In other words...he is integral part of the Orchestra and the Work. Not on a Demonstration trip like so many others who...want to give a clear Impression of Command. This guy is as much on the receiving end, as he is on the conducting. Very original and very sensitive. Often...he stands there LISTENING. Astonishing. Wanted to be a Conductor at 12. Mäkelä is a paradoxical Conductor for sure. Well done. You've won me over. What's next ?
Claude Rochon's comment - I have no objections except to one word. It is the word "rather" in the first line. I'd delete "rather" and it would read "His conducting is impressive." There, that's better!
@@erpollock black gospel music please

Indeed, and what is to come is the Royal Dutch Concertgebouw Orchestra. So I believe, following Haitinck.
Great comment by the way.
My regards
@@erpollock I remember when it was "rather".
@@playerxxx ha ha ha so it was....are you not happy with this 2023 version ? you see...i'm French...so i don't master the English subtleties like you do... i guess... now...let us not forget this is all about the music
This wonderful performance reiterates the point of how each conductor’s interpretation of a work reveals nuances not heard in that of others. After listening to a half dozen other conductors treat this piece, for the first time I can actually hear the part of the strings under the oboes towards the end of the first movement at 25:30. What a revelation!! Therein lies the beauty and glory of classical music. It would require many lifetimes to fully appreciate it all, and even that would not be long enough. Thank you Oslo Philharmonic for this joyous musical gift!
OMG 2.35:1 I like my wide screen, also enjoy the camera works.
Super conductor!!!!he is the best. I am shocked. so young too...
años sin escuchar a Bra hms.. y es bueno h@berlo reencontrado. Gr@cias
I have listened to this symphony many times - I have always loved it ... but here, there is clarity as if every single instrument can be distinguished - I am thrilled ...
These symphonies are amazing. I'm constantly listening. :)
Seems like most of the orchestra is trying hard not to look at the conductor. When the strings look up, they look at the concertmaster.
Wow, so differnt rendition comparing to Karajan, Celelidache, Kleiber, very nice.. and Makela is soo young,talented and handsome... amazing
Mr. Makela it's indeed a brilliant reality he's no longer a young generation musician with great future. As a Director he show us a deeply maturity in his management specially in the exquisite dialogue in between the strings and the oboes at the end of the first movement. This is music at it's essence, the orchestra have such a great communication with him, seems like reading his commands in advance. Fantastic ensemble and gorgeous results.
Mäkelä Is just terrible.
The Oslo Phil did a great by having Maestro Makela. Soon they will be in the top 5 orchestras of Europe.
...es fehlen die Worte...himmlisch...
Beautiful
Brahms I love you
Cann‘t stop listening.. new feeling.. Bravo!!
Que maravilla!!! Preciosa música para una orquesta que me encanta y dirigida por Klaus Makela. Que más se puede pedir! Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Magnifique orchestre même s'il est moins connu que les grands orchestres allemands. Cette quatrième de Brahms sonne merveilleusement. Le jeune chef s'est révélé être un génie de la direction musicale. Merci à chacun.
Woodwinds and brass are superb.
The future of classical gets even brighter with every Movement of Klaus Mäkelä’s hand. All the subtle movements, and expressions he makes has me under the impression he commands but also enjoys being on the receiving end just as much. I always end up with a rollercoaster of emotions whilst listening to the pieces performed by Oslo Philharmonic with Klaus. These talented musicians that pour their time, emotions, and love for music are always such a bliss to listen to even to someone who doesn’t play an instrument like me.
I’d love to see them in concert someday
The reason i came into this video because he is so handsome lol XD
Gorgeous sound from this orchestra! And outstanding performance of one of my favorite symphonies! Should have been a standing "O"!
I know he's only like 13 in this video but after listening to this and other recordings I am a little confused why the CSO picked him. Maybe he's matured a lot in the last few years. He hopefully will even more by 2027. This performance is clean but rather dull in how straightforward it is. I guess we'll see
I think is one of my favorite recordings of this tbh.
lost in details
everything falls appart
Questa sinfonia di Brahms è veramente emozionante.
E pensare che la sua prima sinfonia è considerata la decima di Beethoven! Deve essere stato difficile per lui reggere il confronto con Beethoven... Naturalmente queste notizie le ho sentite e lette in documentari e libri dedicati.
Un caro abbraccio a tutti e viva la musica 🤣💕🙏💥
This is one of my very favorite symphonies ever! And Klaus Makela is my favorite conductor! And Oslo Philharmonic is my favorite orchestra! Therefore, it's perfect in every way... 🥰
L'Andante moderato è di una bellezza insuperabile!
It's ok, but lack the force of Kleiber version, more in tune with the spirit of this music, specially in the first mov.
Beautiful! Glorious! Thank you from Massachusetts, USA
An essential part of the history of symphonies during the Romantic era.
This song is evaluated as a masterpiece among masterpieces.
Brahms said, “It is the most personal utterance of my soul.”
During a chaotic and uncertain period in the composer's life (1884 - 1885)
Composed by critics, the symphony described Brahms' internal struggle and conflict.
I interpreted it as a musical expression.
Best regards.

Makela is the conductor every musician wants: one that doesn't dictate every beat and entrance and allows the musicians to MAKE the music. His and the orchestra's phrasing are spectacular and there is no question to what line the listener should be paying the most attention. For the haters that say he's too inexperienced and too young, get out of his way because he will be one of the greatest conductors of our time (and already is.)
So so glad to see my beloved Norwegian orchestra again, with their famous conductor!! thank you so much for this fantastic performance by both conductor and fine orchestra. So many good wishes to all the members of the orchestra, our beloved neighbours to the north of the UK.... oh how I love your online concerts!!
聴いてるだけで心が癒されていくw最高の演奏ですw
I just cannot get over the production quality of your videos. What a cherry on top of the treat that is the orchestra! I'm so glad I came across this channel.
음악이 내속에 들어있질 않으면 이런 지휘가 나올수 없다
I like his conducting because he doesn't " conduct" very much, in the sense of Fritz Reiner's conducting style. Love the performance.
Very enjoyable, and most impressive!
respect from spb....so deep..григ.сибелиус.чюрленис...дальше не помню..сори...но это вам не испания...глубинная музыка....северяне ..
I was dying waiting for this 🖤
Me too!! Was dying waiting to play this!!
Greetings, one in the 1st violin section😉
@@kasiadalnoki You are SO LUCKY to have such a wonderful conductor....he really is right there with you making music...not 'directing'...but MAKING IT!!!!
@@davidcottrell1308 Thank you! Yes, we know and feel so lucky and thankful! He is a magician and it is such joy making music together with him🙂
Beautiful concert. This is my favorite of the Brahms symphonies.
Excelente ❤ , saludos desde Italia !
UA-cam should be ashamed for sticking these horrible ads in beautiful music!
То что нужно. Спасибо!
Bravissimo! 👏👏👏 What a beautiful performance! 🎶Thank you so much for sharing! 🤗
14:26 Great clarinet group 15:30 woodwind section
Lo mejor de lo mejor.
A very clean performance, you can hear the sound of each instrument. But Brahms is not Bach, I notice the lack of strength and passion, that are typical of a romantic composer
新しい投稿に感謝してます！
もう何度も聴いています。
素敵です。
ありがとう。
The light and the vastness of nature, the colors in the light of a late summer sunny early afternoon, and the intimate closeness to nature and everything that lives, yes, living and being alive, all this and much more that Brahms expresses in his music is brought to full expression by the fantastic musicians of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra under the inspiration of an absolutely unique conductor like Klaus Mäkelä. The sound engineering is the pinnacle of this musical poetry without a pair in the entire history of music.
sprzeciw, Brahms a Pan Klaus, to dwa inne okresy życia w dziejach ludzkości, a tym samym są czymś innym. Co nie umniejsza wkładu w rozwój ludzkości zarówno jednego jak i drugiego Pana.
What rapture! This is rendition is so exciting! Watching Klaus Makela conduct is almost as enjoyable as listening to this magnificent and majestic symphony. He is intense, youthful in approach, dynamic, theatrical, dramatic. The Oslo Philharmonic is right with him on every chord. You can see how much they enjoy working with him, and vice versa. The sound on this video is remarkable. The entire symphony, and particularly the Fourth Movement, literally sends me to a transcendent place. Thanks you so much for this.
Beautiful to Purple flowers in front.
Fabulous left arm and hand. I followed Mäkelä's performances since the early days at the workshops with Maestro Pannula; in fact, there was, even then, something different about him.
성급하지 않은 현악이마음에 드네요 현악이 상당히 부드럽고 선명한 관악이 신선해요
Klaus seems to be a delight to work with. You can see that the orchestra look up to him and they really follow him. @32:35 :)
horrible conductor. what a shame.
Thank you, Oslo Phillarmonic.
me gustaria que la inyerprete Dudamel o Cilibidache , de cualqier manera , estoy conforme , pero le falta mas vida!!!!
Bravo Elise Batnes!
Mais comment fait ce gamin pour rendre la quatrième symphonie de Brahms ennuyeuse? Et on veut nous le faire prendre pour un grand chef!!! Écoutez Giulini et vous entendrez un vrai grand chef.
Beautiful and delicate Brahms! I usually feel many conductors play this symphony no.4 too heavy and formal. I love Klaus's well-balanced conducting. Bravo! I wanna hear this performance everyday!
World class production! Amazing performance! Such beautiful energy from the talented musicians and conductor! Bravo!
