    What a fantastic video piece! It’s marvelous in its analysis and in its choice of musical examples from the performance. Please create many more “Upbeat” pieces like this one. I already loved Rachmaninoff’s piece, but your work enhanced my appreciation of it immensely.

    In this case I think the combination of the name of this series and the piece is giving me whiplash.
    Because if there is one thing the "Isle of the Dead" is not, it is upbeat. ;)

      This is very likely Vineta Sareika, one of the concertmasters of the BerlinPhil. She will leave the orchestra in Feb 2025.

      Funny that someone still thinks Furtwängler was a good conductor. Furwängler had great concepts of how something should sound and out of sheer luck sometimes succeeded in reaching that concept.
      But he was severly lacking in technique, so much that more often than not he failed to deliver. Which is very apparent in all the very mediocre and sketchy played recordings that exist.

      @@Quotenwagnerianer he was a great conductor , certainly for his time. Listen to his Tristan f.i. Don't forget the orchestras at that time weren't up to the level we consider nowadays acceptable, only the conductors were better. I dont think if one put Furtwängler, Mengelberg or Toscanini nowadays in front of an orchestra it will be a success....

      Furtwängler was arguably one of the greatest conductors who ever lived. This was also said by famous musicians who knew him personally. Besides that he was also a remarkable composer (even though not everybody agrees with that one). On the other hand I fear Petrenko (who i respect a great deal) is neither of these things….
