Millions of Indians love listening to this March which starts off with such a somber and emotional tone but after the first 1 minute and 40 seconds the music dramatically changes to one that gives hope and joy!
Orginal title of this masterpiece, wiritten by Tchaikovsky's hand is: "Serbo-russian march" It's written in 1876. when Serbian Principality declared war on Ottoman Empire. The first section describes the oppression of the Serbs by the Turkish. It uses two Serbian folk songs, "Sunce jarko, ne sijaš jednako" (Bright sun, you do not shine equally), "Rado ide Srbin u vojnike" (Gladly does the Serb become a soldier),[ giving way to the second section in the relative major key, which describes the Russians rallying to help the Serbs.
Simply best! If someone feel unfavorable to Maestro's tempo, it's just a matter of taste of himself. Svetlanov usually catch authentic color and strict rendering rather than other Russian conductors.
I would say both the tempo and the tonal emphases are correct. And the Maestro conducting style is also most economical without compromising on the essentials of the piece.
Very slow tempi, yes, but the ending is performed as Tchaikovsky wrote it. Most conductors take the last three chords at half speed. I don't always like Svetlanov's interpretations but he's always faithful to the score. Thank you for posting :)
Always fun to find the best live performance of each piece. This one is a great run through. Definitely dragging slightly, but other than that they did a good job phrasing things and whatnot
I'm not. That's why I'm here :) They rush everything in the symphony nowadays... I've just recently found Celibidache. He was very serious about not rushing complicated pieces. I love his philosophy on music Except the fact that he didn't really believe in recordings. It's a bad thing for us 20 somethings. What about us? xD He died and now all that remains are a few recordings. I love how dignified and calm the conductor is here.
Gracias ! AcaCarBg El nombre original de la composición es marcha serbo-rusa y se basa en tres canciones populares serbias. "En junio de 1876, Serbia y el Imperio Otomano se involucraron en la guerra serbio-turca (1876-78). Rusia apoyó abiertamente a Serbia. La Sociedad Musical Rusa encargó una pieza orquestal de Tchaikovsky para un concierto a beneficio de la Sociedad de la Cruz Roja y, en última instancia, en beneficio de los veteranos serbios heridos. Muchos rusos simpatizaron con sus compañeros eslavos y cristianos ortodoxos y enviaron soldados voluntarios y ayuda para asistir a Serbia.
This one wasn't _bad_, but I also find the first section to be a tad too slow for my taste, which sits at uncomfortable odds with the rest of the piece. Especially odd at 9:12, as others have stated. Even my favorite rendition - which is faster overall - takes the time to really enjoy that moment. The Youth Orchestra of Caracas' performance gives me chills, it's so good.
I have noticed that many conductors slow down when they get older. I prefer this piece played with more pace, apart from the part previously alluded to. I'm afraid the Maestro's flamboyant gesture at the end does not rescue this performance from mediocrity.
Yup, the part at 9:12 is WAY to fast ... if anything I like it played EXTRA slow ... powerful chords just BLOWN thru ... I feel ridiculous faulting this Orchestra, but sheesh ...
at 9:12 it's a little too fast. The end was perfect. I guess people have their own interpretations and every version will have its fans and detractors. That's part of the beauty of music. No two performances are identical
The use of the term "slave" it means: "a person over whose life, liberty and property someone has absolute control" (cited from Funk and Wagnalls standard dictionary). And it is incorrect. The term here for this piece of music should say "Slav march" or Slavic or Slavonic and it refers to a nationality. Thanks
It's absolutely correct tempo! Sounds in one breath.
damm I didn't know that President Lincoln played the violin
More of a mix of Lincoln and my uncle Leonard from Philly. He can play violin, and he knows a guy who can get you a good deal on some copper wiring.
Tony Wirth Its a viola
thank you Newcome, but it still looks like President Lincoln to me
bro omg XD ikr lmfaooooooo
Tony Wirth Viola*. Nobody meets this instrument. I play it.

A very disciplined and harmonious performance. A very good sound mastering. Tempo is perfect.
Quite right.

wow, you know your stuff!..very interesting!
AcaCarBg Are you making this up? Just joking
Al escuchar tan excelente ejecución, en lo particular me hace imaginar tantos y bellos lugares como aventuras épicas.MÚSICA EXTRAORDINARIA.
One of the best pieces of Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky and one of my favorites pieces. Sublime!

Музыка Чайковского всегда удаётся Светланову лучше всех

For those complaining about slow tempo. Most modern day interpretations take many Romantic era pieces faster than originally intended.

Apesar de lento, muito bem articulado! 👍
¿Qué sentía su autor cuando compuso esta obra? ¿Qué sociedad y en qué mundo vivía? Hermosa expresión de una vida muy sentimental y pujante.
Absolutely wonderful, perfect performance!
THIS is a real masterpiece. GREAT PERFORMANCE!
Fantastico!!
Musical conception is very good. Listen to Pletnev's version of "Slavonic March", it has enough energy.
想找刺激,就聽這首；聽那短笛,小小一支,卻能奏出意想不到的震天價響,仿彿揮動著白色的天使翅膀 !
i love it , congratulations!
So nice!!
Splendid presentation!
Beautiful.
Gracias ! AcaCarBg

Que poder del gran maestro!!!
Not necessary to be an expert, If the spirit asks for more excitement in this version of Mrche Slave, it is true. I felt it too.
the best piece
Godfather as conductor and lincon as violinist
BRAVO!!!!
Exelente
¿Qué vivencia tendría su autor para expresar ese sentimiento de esta manera?
Maravilhoso.
Serbia march!!! Bre :)

The Youth Orchestra of Caracas' performance gives me chills, it's so good.
he loves his horns
I agree.
What's up with the tempo?
Are you professional conductor ?
Em alguns trechos está mais rápido em outros mais lento.
Is a russian conductor: he knows!!!

Maybe it’s a little bit slow
5:39
8:55
Accept

😂😂😂😂😂 slave russia
slow tempo...
....takes slow parts too fast parts too slow.....ehh
Do you have to be one to have an opinion?
9:12 ruined the whole thing for me. made for a sudden slow down at the part afterward that didn't need it. switch those dynamics around...
¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????? sordo.
Is russian music played by russians... are you sure? You know more than professional russian musicians?
None of these people look like the're having any fun or happiness in their jobs. Tough to be a musician in russia I guess!
it has no energy .................
