Do not laugh about it. It's a privilege that you can know what the composition sounded like in a specific performance and what sounds were made. Like whether someone you know was there and had a cough that day.
Everyone managing to keep a perfectly straight face for the full 4 and half minutes, is what really makes me admire these performers. I couldn't do it.
i bet they just took their relatives to play in order to avoid paying more people to just hold a violin. The ones in the viola section probably must have been paid tho...
I think the funniest part of this performance is that in the one piece that is complete silence, there was NO COUGHING OF ANY SORT. Basically proving that when audiences incessantly cough during quiet moments in pieces, it’s to intentionally be disruptive
In contrary to the performance by BBC Symphony Orchestra... 😂 (1st movement ends at around 2'44" of the video) ruclips.net/video/CbXA7Nt63M4/видео.html
...and that is the most interesting if not befuddling part of this performance coming from the Berliners...you see, at measure 68 of this piece, a duplex rhythm Eb4 cough is written...shame, shame, shame on you Berliners for completely destroying the performance of this truly masterful comppsition!
I think that coughing, particularly during slow movements and during silences, is at least in part an unvoluntary physical reaction to the emotions evoked by music.

@@segmentsAndCurves It's just that no one has been stupid enough to compose this. It's like saying "I'm gonna compose a single note" and call it a day. At least if I did that, I'd be better than John Cage already.
Piece is titled 4'33" only because the first performance happened to last that long. The score itself does not indicate a performance length so the choice is actually up to the performer. Any length of time is suitable and acceptable for John Cage's 4'33", so, calm the snark! Bravo Berliner!
Do you know for a fact that Cage only chose that title as a happenstance and that he didn't care about the length of the performance? After all, the title is the only performance indication (other than "tacet") Cage even gives, so I'd think that it meant something.
Yes It is indeed wrote in the score, but first no one knows that, second you can't take away the only indication about the piece: title and at the same time duration and presume that it should be fine for a general audience... of all the stupid complaints on the internet this one is right!
This was literally the most difficult music piece ever played. I don't know how long they've practiced, but it must have taken them years to get this good.

Sometimes I would walk into a room at night and hear the fan going, then I would turn the fan off and feel very unsettled. So actually, some preformances of 4'33" can be quite not relaxing.
Waiting for the Celibidache 5 hour version! What I liked is that Maestro Petrenko "conducted" this with the same intensity that he conducts everything else.
@@MARTIN201199 The real historically-informed performance would be the one recorded in Cage's last New York apartment. (Talk about original instruments.) It's available as an app from johncage.org.
This piece was so emotional and heartbreaking; Really loved when the violin made an astonishing performance at 1:34, truly heartbreaking. To give a brief review on this magnificent piece, I would start by expressing how gracefully the clarinet at 0:44 was, and starting clareneting all over the place, I could feel the music coming inside of me. I really admire how John Cage managed to compose this piece, this must have been very hard to perform, they must’ve done lots of practice. To conclude, this piece is truly hearreaching, would recommend it.
Interesting choice by the conductor to take '4'33"' at a quicker pace. It's a performance that often invites contemplation and reflection, and the variation in duration can indeed spark some interesting discussions about interpretation and intention in John Cage's work. But still, I find that the original, more extended duration allows for a deeper connection with the piece, letting the silence resonate and immerse us fully in the experience.
This was the last concert in 2020 and the encore of it. I was there and remember how painful it was to watch this final part because we all knew that it would be what would happen for the upcoming months: Silence :-(
I do want to point out the actual effort that the conductor and the musicians put into this performance. The conductor's efforts are obvious, he is actually gesturing and making movements as part of it, but notice also how the musicians are being attentive and present when they're actually 'playing' each movement and then are relaxing and reorienting their bodies in between each movement. It's less effort than actually playing a piece of music would be, but they clearly put on this performance with a lot of thought and consideration to Cage's original meaning. Good job guys!
Yeah, there was a time when Cage had trouble getting people to commit to his ideas, procedures, etc. I think these days it's easier to find musicians that are hip to his thing.
It also means a lot to the performance itself; this was just before a covid lockdown. While John Cage's original meaning stands, it also has a few social measures, like how the orchestra would be silent itself, and the seriousness presented by conductor reflects that of the general mood. Concern, worry even, over a great many things and moving parts.

@@pomtubes1205 I’m making an audiophile file of the recording at 64 bits @ 768 kHz so anyone can appreciate all the nuances. Besides that, we are rehearsing a lot. We haven’t managed to hit the right tempo. Most singers are out of tune and violins tend to go faster than violas.
I found this masterpiece a while back when I was first getting into experimental music like 100 gecs, death grips and Swans. This one specifically always stuck with me, it always makes me tear up. It brings back so many memories from when I was young, Thank you.
As this version is a good minute shorter than the composer's own timing, are we to assume that the tempi taken were too fast throughout, or perhaps there was a movement omitted, or perhaps there are optional cuts which only Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker know about?
Das war das letzte Philharmonische Konzert in der Philharmonie und der RBB hatte es ausgeblendet, danke das man es so sehen und hören konnte, 4:33 Gedenkminuten für die Kultur!
For those who don't know what is(n't) going on in this piece, basically, if you convert the title of this piece (4' 33" = 4 min 33 sec) into seconds, you'll get 273 seconds and -273 °C (well, -273.15 to be more specific) is the temperature of 0 K (also known as "The absolute zero"), at which particles in a substance don't move, so that's why he chose this type of title and why he chose it to be played like this, *273 seconds of no movement on the instrument(s)* (the main problem is that not many interpretes play it for 4 minutes and 33 seconds straight though). It truly is an interesting concept and it's actually pretty cool piece and a good troll for the audience, too!
I've seen this before but I only just learned that this performance retired the concert hall. What a beautiful and heartbreaking way to send a performance space into retirement. A gorgeous tribute.
Excuse me good sir, how can i activate the sound? I require some assistance with the new technologies, i watched it like 22 times and i still cant hear it ;(
I like their sincere approach to this piece by Petrenko and the orchestra as well. Because this is about respecting silence. It's about how we listen to the sounds and how we build certain criteria which allows us to judge "this is music" or "this is not". Of course you can accuse me of saying rubbish tales, but in fact for me this is still very important musical and philosophical statement. In our terribly noisy world with all this esthetic chaos around just stay silent for a while and listen, very carefully, enjoy new unexpected sounds, ignore these which overwhelm your life, find new perspective.
Have to agree, ultimately. I first thought that his Movement 3 emoting (and his visible sweat) was a little over the top, but I've settled into the realization that the success of this piece depends upon the degree of seriousness that the musicians apply. So the way Petrenko did it was to convey to the musicians and the audience the letter and the spirit of the composition. Throughout Cage's life, he wasn't always so lucky with the musicians playing his music.
Me: trying too listen in full volume so I can listen to people coughing or something. Berliners: Nein. by the way I love mr Petrenko intensity, you can almost watch the energy moving from his hands.
The tender sounds of Jonathan Cage always succeed in making me feel a sort of panacheful joy. The shear finnese of the man with the bulging of his forehead makes me rethink my life as a professional oboe player. John Cage you rock my world!
I don't usually listn to John Cage, but when I do, I don't.

It's disgusting and probably done out of spite to the real performers who played there
@@robbyrobot3303 You could be on to something. Maybe he's a really insecure individual.
Friend: I like this part the best
I: Shut up. You can't hear the song
Worthy of a standing ovation!! Encore once more!!
MAGNÍFICO!! MAGNÍFICO!! 👏👏
The most marvellous cover I have ever heard of this most wonderful composition!!
Excuse me good sir, how can i activate the sound? I require some assistance with the new technologies, i watched it like 22 times and i still cant hear it ;(
@@rubenteixeira4861 keep watching as many times possible my son... Eventually you will be able to hear it... And when you do.. you will find bliss!
It's like going to a Michelin star restaurant and getting an empty plate as a full meal.

It's like going to a Michelin star restaurant and getting an empty plate as the chef's special.
2:37 he looks so heartbroken and confused, the poor conductor
*Quietly twerking
😭

😐
HAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful performance. Trumpets absolutely nailed their solo at 1:25 and that violin run leading into the key change was music to my ears.
Holy..... I’ve never expected Berliner philharmonic doing this....
I like their sincere approach to this piece by Petrenko and the orchestra as well. Because this is about respecting silence. It's about how we listen to the sounds and how we build certain criteria which allows us to judge "this is music" or "this is not". Of course you can accuse me of saying rubbish tales, but in fact for me this is still very important musical and philosophical statement. In our terribly noisy world with all this esthetic chaos around just stay silent for a while and listen, very carefully, enjoy new unexpected sounds, ignore these which overwhelm your life, find new perspective.
in the sea of funny comments i was looking a serious comment like you.
shut up
@jonathanbirch2022 imagine needing a youtube video to shut up
This has me crying right now. Beautiful piece by John Cage - taken too soon - and amazing performance by the orchestra too!
Who is listening in 2024!! Give me a tumb up😅😂🎉🎉🎉
What’s a tumb up?
Should it be a thumbs up?
They surely practiced a lot for this. John Cage is a genius
literally the best double bass part ever written. And I don’t think percussionists have ever played this much!!
1:14 that piano 🔥
It was our song, it's been 9 years and I still listen to it… you don't listen loudly, your children may wake up...
1:02 this is so beautiful
Excellent job from the sound engineer on this recording!
John cage was so kind that he took the deaf into account when making this masterpiece
Anyone else noticed that this is actually the radio edit?
0:43 my fav part
Plot twist, this is the most well known song in your life, the world doesnt stop playing music, it plays 4' 33"
Ok but you have to admit, the conductor somehow does a really good job of… shaping the silence? I have no idea how he did it but he did it.
Have to agree, ultimately. I first thought that his Movement 3 emoting (and his visible sweat) was a little over the top, but I've settled into the realization that the success of this piece depends upon the degree of seriousness that the musicians apply. So the way Petrenko did it was to convey to the musicians and the audience the letter and the spirit of the composition. Throughout Cage's life, he wasn't always so lucky with the musicians playing his music.
That doesn't mean anything. You are just a slave to authority if you are impressed by this stunt
It's called being pretentious as fuck and he absolutely slam dunked it.
Their interpretation is the best one I have ever seen
Bravo 👏🏻
It's great that you get paid to give several concerts around the world with just this piece 🤣😂🤣😂❤️❤️🇲🇽
This piece really depicts the sounds of space. Its contents seem to capture the very noise of the cosmos. Elegant. Elegant indeed.
What a banger, I’m putting this on my playlist!
The one piece of music where my Tinnitus is in tune and feels perfectly at home.
AH well No chance of the wind affecting the strings with Covid19 then. Still Maestro Petrenko your interpretation could be a little fast?
What do you mean fast? I expect the BPO encored this “song”
@@MARTIN201199
It *is* fast -- almost a full minute shorter than Cage specified in the title.
Me: trying too listen in full volume so I can listen to people coughing or something.
Berliners: Nein.
by the way I love mr Petrenko intensity, you can almost watch the energy moving from his hands.
My neighbour loves this so much, he threw a brick through my window to hear it better.
I would feel so disrespected as a musician. Like this is what you want me to “play?”
That's probably the intent. They are hostile to beauty and competence
The tender sounds of Jonathan Cage always succeed in making me feel a sort of panacheful joy. The shear finnese of the man with the bulging of his forehead makes me rethink my life as a professional oboe player. John Cage you rock my world!
*sheer
Grow up, this is a publicity stunt. John Cage is laughing at you on his way to the bank
@@robbyrobot3303 It was part publicity stunt (which worked) and partly an answer to a philosophical question.
@@golden-63 so he's a bad philosopher and an even worse musician
