Thank you for this superb rendering of Symphony No. 29. A "stripped down" orchestra just demonstrated how good the individual members are and special kudos to Kong Zhao Hui as concertmaster for this piece. It was also a great pleasure to see Joshua Tan conducting. You can hear the individual instruments and how they take their cues. Wonderful!
I firmly believe that it would sound great even if you play it with 1 player per part i.e. with in total 9 players. (I counted bass line as two players namely a cello and a double bass). I never understand why this is not a common practice for chamber ensembles to widen their repertoire. A third of all symphonies by Haydn and Mozart (and many other composers' from the same era) can be played with this crew. And it sounds great: as an example check Schubert's 5th played by members of Vienna phil. available on UA-cam as sound recording. It sounds heavenly. Thanks for the lovely performance and upload.
Oh we have that too :) ua-cam.com/video/ysFh2U3YyAk/v-deo.html It's interesting how the pandemic made these circumstances "possible". In any case, thank you for your kind words!
@@singaporesymphony thank you for sharing, I rather meant a performance of the work with 1 instrument per part like: ua-cam.com/video/f3I6vpKQEFc/v-deo.html Yours is lovely too, goes without saying :) All the best!
Gives it a beautiful clarity. The performances just a few years ago of the Brahms piano concertos with a Brahms size orchestra are unforgettable in the way they opened up the music. This music wasn't created for the modern symphony orchestra. I also like that this is played with modern instruments. Chamber ensembles do play these.
That was LOVELY!!!!!!!! It must be said that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the SSO!!!!!!!!!!! You are an absolutely INCREDIBLE orchestra!!!!!!!!! It's no wonder Eddy and Brett wanted to perform with you when they had their concert to celebrate the fact that they had 4 million subscribers on UA-cam, and the ABSOLUTELY phenomenal violinist Chloe Chua agreed to become your artist in residence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
