I’m fortunate to have the orchestral score of this piece. Even looking at the page is terrifying! Considering that this orchestra played it from memory, the very few tiny quibbles I have with the performance fade from the radar. When I follow with the score open in front of me, I’m in awe of Schoenberg. When I just close my eyes and listen, I’m in awe of the composer AND the performers. It’s amazing how a composition this dense and intellectual can speak so clearly to the heart.
This is No. 1 in my classical music list. The fact that almost 120 years ago one could write such complicated yet naturally flowing harmonies within the properly built emotional structure and form is simply unbelievable. Perfectly performed by the orchestra. Thank you, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
To perform this music well, total dedication is demanded. This presentation has this and the components which make a very fulfilling rendition of possibly the pinnacle piece of late-rommantic music. Many thanks to the Norweigen chamber Orchestra.
Oh please I'm pretty fond of it myself, but let's try not to get overly carried away with the hyperbole. The pinnacle piece of late romantic music? Really? Verklärte Nacht composed in the same year as Elgar's Enigma Variations, 20 years before that composer's Cello Concerto, 10 years before Das Lied von der Erde, and around about 47 before Strauss's Vier Letzte Lieder. All these pieces have much stronger claims to the title, and that's just to name a few.
@@ragadolls I like Elgar, Strauss and Mahler too, but in so many ways this is indeed the apex. And what is even more wondrous, Schoenberg went beyond this to scale new heights.
@@ragadolls Schoenberg's Gurrelieder is probably the pinnacle piece to close late-romanticism. But, either way, Verklarte Nacht has more of a claim than any of the pieces that you named.
The stage lighting is sublime. My first experience listening to this piece was well over 25 years ago. It was probably at the end of my teenage years and it was one of the most profound things I’ve ever experienced- listening to Verklärte Nacht in the dark.
I was lucky to be part of a team recording the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra perform this truly singular piece of music in June, 2017. It was the finale to a fantastic concert of songs themed around "The Night". I had never heard it before and it had a profound effect on me. Their performance was my favourite until i saw this. If your whole body isn't tingling at 22:30 ish, I'll go down to the shops and buy a men's trucker cap, return home, and eat it. Outstanding performance, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
Viola section of life! One of my all time favorite pieces of all time. That's the kind of drama we need in our lives. An Olympic-Marathon "Gold Metal) of a performance. Kudos!
No matter what, I always come back to this piece, this recording. It has to be my favorite piece of music and favorite recording by now, I just cannot stop listening to it.
Everyone is playing by memory. That is IMPRESSIVE! Wow! And a spectacular performance, superb interpretation. Fabulous ensemble. I could go on and on! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pulled my car over for a half hour to listen to this. This is the first _actual_ spiritual experience I have ever had in my entire life, listening to this. 5:12 is the most agonizingly gorgeous thing I have ever heard in my life.
A thousand million BRAVOs to all!!!!! I am absolutely speechless, after seeing a group of dozens of excellent musicians playing one of the most dense, challenging and beautiful works in the repertoire, all by heart (!!!), without a conductor, with the musicians giving everything they have in a wonderful musicality, with undisguised enjoyment, and all this bathed in lighting capable of transporting us to the imagined scenario from which it sprang. And when was the last time someone managed to write a work so complex and at the same time so capable of moving us to the core? The first time I heard Schönberg's "Transfigured Night", at the age of 16, I was so enraptured that I listened to it 4 times in a row and immediately declared it the most sublime thing I had ever heard. With this video, today, my eyes filled with the tears that were certainly on vacation that day. Pedro Almeida
The richest, most moving performance of this work I've ever encountered. Riveting, exquisite. The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra is utterly remarkable--they play from their core as a unified organism (intensity of tenderness of leaning violins 5:25 - 5:31). BOSS viola section especially the solo violist. Every section excellent--every player, they're all soloists--but these lower strings are particularly powerful. Celli at the transition between parts... Basses volcanic (around 9 min), a deep geo-thermal foundation all the time. And bravi the seconds throughout Part Two. Wow. Just WOW.
Desde Bar ranquilla. La historia contada es de final, de cierre y también de suspenso ante lo que seguirá... la Transfiguración ... ¡Que bien se estará aquí!
I've never intentionally listened to this kind of music. I like bach to Stravinsky and prog rock from about 1968 to 1976. Little else. Some of this would work well in the early silent german expressionist films like nosferatu and Dr Caligari. Playing this from memory is extraordinary. I am stunned.
they unravel the story, the depth, the noblesse, the kitsch of this masterpiece in a very, very fine performance. I felt blessed to be able to listen to this.
@@leonkowalenko1747 well, kitsch stands for bad taste and sentimentality. I compare it to F Boucher saying "la nature est trop verte et mal éclairée" (nature is too green and badly lit). I love this piece of music, I listen quite often to it, but I try to balance my tears with some irony. Never take anything too seriously... not me... not this - in its manner - perfect music. 😀
Magnificent and outstanding performance of this Fantastic piece. This is absolutely the best performance I have ever seen and heard..!! Unbelievable.!! Bravo.,..!!
Life is tough, isn’t it? (extreme sarcasm) My university years were the happiest of my life, with constant playing (voice, flute, organ), reading, learning....beautiful memories!
@@voraciousreader3341 id recommend checking out "epica, universal dea†h squad" i think someone with an orchestral background would really appreciate that 👌
....and from memory.....that is best clarity of line, expressiveness, and emotional projection of this piece that I have ever heard...listening to performances for 50 years....the best....I could follow the poem, by Richard Dehmel...they brought the story on stage and shared it with themselves and the audience....marvelous. I was so moved....
Fino a questo punto della vita, Schoenberg è comprensibile a tutti; e produce musiche bellissime. Questa capolavoro è una gioia per le mie orecchie che, pur non educate a riconoscere le note, ne seguono estasiate il fluire.
30 minutes of ensemble playing Schoenberg from memory...I'm impressed by that on it's own. The musicality is divine too. Bravo.
But what classical musician worth his weight in salt doesn't memorize his part in relation to others?

This quite literally may have changed my life.
Nice
For the better?
@@Feisenbach absolutely.
Did it changed yet?

I´ve never heard a version of this piece of music with such bass power. It is really shocking in the best sense of the word.

Best performance of this work so far. It blows out of the water every single one I've ever heard. Stunning.
This is by far the most compelling performance I've seen/heard of this piece.

The violin solo in the sparkly pizz. Section is one of those parts that makes you actually want to get up and go practice despite doing school work.
One of the greatest works ever! leaves me speechless every time I hear it
I came here for my homework but I'm actually really mesmerized by this performance. Wow
la mejor versión de esta obra que he escuchado. magnífica orquesta!
muchas gracias y felicitaciones
Almost overwhelming even on RUclips - not sure I could have quite coped with it live! Marvellous musicianship.
Obsessed with this ensemble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Treated with utmost care, thrilling drama, and fantastic romanticism throughout. A thoroughly phenomenal recording of a phenomenal piece.
We hear hearths beating, flowing here and there, what a pleasure!
I love the drama between parts and this really adds a story to the performance, bravo !
My favorite video. I've come back to it several times and found it deeply rewarding and enjoyable.
All them fiddlers is just goin to town, bobbin and a-weavin, and without anybody gettin their eye poked!! Excellent shindig!

This is actually a nice piece i just wish i wasn't forced to listen to it and write a paper on it lol
sad story
this is the most beautiful music of Shoenberg. too bad for your bad ears
if this one was ruined for ya, id suggest
"igorrr, tout petit moineau"
and the yannis version of "ghost love score"

Thank you for uploading this video and for that gorgeous performance
This is just FANTASTIC
It is! Magnificent.
I love this piece so much, beautiful performance.
Master piece. Outstanding performance by heart
Hello ❤
Absolutely moving. They're doing it by heart. In both meanings of the word. Congratulations!
AMAZING Beautiful playing!

Wonderful - and extraordinarily brave - performance. Thank you!

you're thinking of Pelleas and Melisande. Richard Dehmel is the poet of Verklarte Nacht.

Verdadero pináculo de la música occidental. Interesante y emotiva ejecución. Gracias.

Hello♥️
Thanks for mentioning Bud Beyer, and his contribution to this process.
Beautiful! What a wonderful ensemble!
If only the adverts at the start were enough. Nothing more frustrating than an emotional performance suddenly interrupted by an abnoxious ad.
It's because you're not smart enough to install AdBlock my dude.

Meravigliosa esecuzione, grazie di cuore
Wonderful performance.
fantastic performance with the perfect amount of feeling. The best performance i've heard!!!!!! thank you
Captivating.
OMG AMAZING! It is so good I clapped at the end!
I was recommended him as a composer because the piece I wrote sounded like some of his pieces! This sounds amazing!!

Utter commitment and dedication.
13:22 Always my favorite part. I keep coming back to it.
Every aspect of this performance was thoughtfully put together and I couldn't appreciate that more. The principle violinist was being so extra though.
That´s because the principal violinist has great principles
By memory and without a conductor. Hot damn...
Wo ist der Dirigent?
