- Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances, Op 45 (1940)
Tugan Sokhiev, Conductor
Berliner Philharmoniker
I. Non Allegro - 0:00
II. Andante con moto - 11:56
III. Lento Assai - Allegro Vivace - 21:52
Recorded and broadcast live from the Berliner Philharmonie on 21 January 2012.
From Wikipedia: "The Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, is an orchestral suite in three movements. Completed in 1940, it is Sergei Rachmaninoff's last composition. The work summarizes Rachmaninoff's compositional output.
The work is fully representative of the composer's later style with its curious, shifting harmonies, the almost Prokofiev-like grotesquerie of the outer movements and the focus on individual instrumental tone colors throughout (highlighted by his use of an alto saxophone in the opening dance). The opening three-note motif, introduced quietly but soon reinforced by heavily staccato chords and responsible for much of the movement's rhythmic vitality, is reminiscent of the Queen of Shemakha's theme in Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Golden Cockerel, the only music by another composer that he had taken out of Russia with him in 1917.
The Dances allowed him to indulge in a nostalgia for the Russia he had known, much as he had done in the Third Symphony, as well as to effectively sum up his lifelong fascination with ecclesiastical chants. In the first dance, he quotes the opening theme of his First Symphony, itself derived from motifs characteristic of Russian church music. In the finale he quotes both the Dies Irae and the chant 'Blessed be the Lord' (Blagosloven yesi, Gospodi) from his All-Night Vigil."
From Wikipedia: "Tugan Taymourazovitch Sokhiev (Ossetian: Сохиты Таймуразы фырт Тугъан / Soxity Tajmurazy fyrt Tuhan, Russian: Туга́н Таймура́зович Сохиев, born 1977, Vladikavkaz, Ossetia) is a Russian-Ossetian conductor.
Sokhiev began piano studies at age 7. He first conducted at age 17, inspired by Anatoly Briskin, the conductor of the North Ossetia State Philharmonic Orchestra. He subsequently attended the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, where he was one of the last students of Ilya Musin before the latter's death in 1999. Sokhiev's first opera as a conductor was in a production of La bohème in Iceland."
From Wikipedia: "The Berlin Philharmonic (German: Berliner Philharmoniker), is an orchestra based in Berlin, Germany and is consistently ranked as one of the best orchestras in the world.
In 2006, ten European media outlets voted the Berlin Philharmonic number three on a list of 'top ten European Orchestras', after the Vienna Philharmonic and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, while in 2008 it was voted the world's number two orchestra in a survey among leading international music critics organized by the British magazine Gramophone (behind the Concertgebouw). The BPO supports several chamber music ensembles."

The slower moment with the saxophone is probably the best woodwind writing by a major composer ever written. Rachmaninov was truly a genius.
the woodwind writing in the second movement is no trivial matter either...those are some of the most awesome runs I've ever heard (and also the main melody by the English horn and oboe)!
@@DanielKRui English horn is sublime
The fact that everyone's quoting different timestamps goes to show how amazing this piece is.
Only a dope would think that
I’m about to listen to it for the first time, and i am supposed to play it in a month. So this seems promising
@@oskarboman just make sure it is clean and crisp at the right timing, and smooth and expressive at the right timing ;) good show man!
@@Sam-nb1rm yeah still working on it. Quite a piece
@@oskarboman what do u play
the rythmic element on rachmaninoff is SO DAMN INTERESTING!! I love his choices!
If anyone else is utterly bewildered by what sounds like four notes from a horn at 6:54, the harp arpeggiation on the fourth beat coincides perfectly with a particularly resonant C# from the flute, which sounds almost like a horn glissing into the C#. Then, the piano right hand plays notes that match the flute notes, all the way to the downbeat of the next measure, which sounds close enough to notes from a horn. What an illusion!!!
Probably more so low string resonance. Bruckner 7 illustrates the effect with horns
10:45 One of the most beautiful moments in any piece
This melody is Rachmaninoff's musical quotation of the main theme from his own Symphony No.1, only here it's given in major, instead of the original minor, and in completely opposite character. And yes, this is absolutely one of the most magical and beautiful moments in any piece, yes:-)
@@vladimirpopovic9337 I'm not sure that it's a direct quotation from the first symphony but it definitely references Dies Irae, which the first also references as a main theme.
@@vladimirpopovic9337 11:13 is exactly where the 1st symphony quoting begins, it's the introduction theme but played in a major key type of way, and in the 3rd movement in the finale he cites a excerpt from his orthodox liturgy all-night vigil and dies irae as a representation of life vs death (or maybe good vs evil, I personaly think this piece represents the starting conflict of WWII, hence the time it was writen). Very interesting easter eggs he included in this piece. What could I possibly say Rachmaninoff is a legend, and all his pieces are awesome in their own way.
well rachmaninoff certainly went out with a bang with a final work like this
14:10 gives me goosebumps every time
that first minute is incredible
this ending is insane
Yes, it sure is!!
This is a breathtaking performance..
the first one is such an amazing and perfect composition. THe woodwinds section is historic
Funny, i still find the piano like a stranger there, the only thing i noticed. In the middle section and later it combined better, principally in the recap, but before this is kind of strange . All the rest is just perfect
I saw this in copenhagen when the DR Symfoniorkester played it with Petrenko. I was initially looking forward to the first movement, but it ended up being the second movement that had the biggest effect on me. At one point i felt the most overwhelming ecstacy i have ever felt. I've never felt that before. No piece of music has touched me so deeply before. What a beautiful composition this is!
i want to see this played live so bad
same man, i am yet to see any live performance
If either of you are in Florida, Space Coast Symphony Orchestra is playing it this weekend!! And I get to play it!!! I am super pumped about it! ❤️❤️
two weeks later I'll be seeing this in a concert, can't explain how hyped I am lmao
I saw this at a concert yesterday, it felt awesome
Come to Carnegie Hall on August 1 8:00 PM for that chance

Thank you.
Thanks for this!

thx
Thx
The first movement is brought to you by the Scherzo in Symphony No.2
I've read that on leaving Russia, Rachmaninov took one score - Rimsky-Korsakov's Golden Cockerel - which definitely appears in the sound of the horn section. The symphonic dances feel very similar, but still obviously Rachmaninov in thought.
1:30 7:35 8:42 9:54 20:50 22:18 24:48 33:48 34:27 35:45
The second dance reminds me of Shostakovich for some reason.
Its similar to Schostakovich's waltz, and has a lot of irony!
It's probably because of the saxophone solo
The dissonance of the brass also sounds very Shostakovichy
Agreeeee
tmea violin allstate excerpt is at 23:35 :)
Desheng/Splashman ur rly a great human
Thank's Desheng
YOO its Desheng!
What does TMEA mean?
@@flyingpenandpaper6119 Texas Music Educators Association or something like that. It's pretty much our All State but it includes a bit more than just that.
Definitely the best piece of Rachmaninoff
Rach has so many amazing works

Awesome upload
snippets of this version of are found on the audiobook version of xenophon epic true story ,“ The march of the ten-thousand “. relating a very cool series of events that occurred in 400 BC. i remeber listening to audiobook while on vacation by the ocean. i had gone for a long jog down the beach and had taken a bit of acid! so i see a lightning storm come in and had to race it back on the sand dunes in the dark to keep from getting hit by lightning. but then the snippets of the song played in between chapters. and it was just so perfect and epic; trying to outrun a storm on the beach whilst listening to xenophon describe outrunning the persian army, and all the while lightning is cracking down off in the ocean. great bolts of zeus that shone gold above me. i had no idea what the song was or who wrote it, but knew it was epic! luckily i got my friend to identify it for me a few months later. i highly recommend this song, jogging, and Charlton Griffin audiobook version of xeneophons “march of 10 K”.
Note that the saxophone part is written in the all-but-unknown key of A-sharp minor.
And that the sax's rhythm is off during the two first phrases...
6:33 When the strings come in unison, I swear I get goosebumps every time, truly beautiful.
It's like a collection of musical special moves
Apart from being an endless fountain of melodies, S. V. Rachmaninov was a devoted christian of the russian orthodox church, until his death in Beverly Hills,in 1943. Traces of russian orthodox religious chants can be found in several of his piano-solo works, the e-minor symphony(op.27) & the symph. dances(1st & 3rd part),(op.45) & of course the amazing orthodox liturgy,(mass) of St. John Chrysostom.(литургия Святого Иоанна Златоуста).
However the tune of the catholic medieval hymn "dies irae", makes its appearance before the coda of the 3rd part. The same happens in the" variations on a theme by Paganini". Although he had a happy life & a successful career(in exile), death premonition by such a versatile pianist & composer is a conundrum to be solved.
dies irae seemed to be Rachmaninoff's thing. He has it in Isle of the Dead as well
Rach used Dies Iran as signature, ingeniously incorporated it into most major works. He did have preoccupation with death despite a great life; it's suggested that his times in Tsarist Russia, many early sicknesses in family and father's wasting of family resources exacerbated Rach's brooding nature.

Absolutely beautiful
3:31 the saxophone melody sounds extremely familiar...
You are probably thinking of the Sinatra Song “ Love is a many Splendored Thing “...Hollywood always “ borrowed “ from The Great Rachmaninoff
@@alanbash2921 Sounds really similar, but I didn't know this song. But thank you anyway :)
reminds me of Coneria Castle from Final Fantasy 1 lolz

3:30 sax solo
The first movement sounds like boss music!

Another of my favorites - find the recording by Donald Johanos and the Dallas Symphony. It was highly praised in "audiophile" magazines a few years ago and well worth a listen. It was pre-digital so I think it's only available on LP.
The Johanos recording is really excellent. There's are "audiophile" editions of it from Analogue Productions (store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&searchtext=Johanos)
Mysterious and epic.
Amazing

Good luck mate! Im auditioning for oboe

Two years later and still helpful!

3:36 if that he replaced a reed line with a bow line, then let the new reed line go off on it's own, then i think it would sound a lot more to my preference
I kinda feel John Williams was heavily inspired by some of these phrases (especially Wood winds) for the Original trilogy.

In the very last three bars it says Laissez vibrer for Tam-Tam, which means "let vibrate" I don't understand how a lot of conductors can misinterpret this, only in Simon Rattle's interpretation have I heard this, and it makes a world of difference! It is the final bell! Not like this dry and violent..
Slatkin, with the Detroit SO, also let the tam-tam vibrate at the very end. Wonderful.
@@paulodomingoscordaro9234 So did Nezet Seguin with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The tam tam is also the only part that has a dotted quarter note and not an eight note. Rachmaninoff clearly wanted the tam tam sound to be sustained after the other notes are muted. And you're right, very few performances get this right.
Why are there so many timestamps in the comments? All state? Someone explain
For some the time stamps were for audition excerpts for the TMEA All-State convention, and for others it may be for their favorite spots, and some may be for reference if they are analyzing the music. (I don't know if that explains everything.)

How do the multiple ads align with your claim of "fair use"? Monetization ain't fair use, sister!
It isn't the channel owner who puts the ads. It's youtube automatically putting ads on every video...
@@DemirSezer inserted ads are *not* on every video, only on videos where the channel owner has accepted monetization. There are many channels with no ads inserted into their videos. The channel owner _does_ control this (when they can control their own greed)
@@Marcel_Audubon RUclips now can insert ads in every video.
Triangle comes in early in first entrance :/
Yeah, this is a great video for the score, but bad for listening to the triangle part.
Score is way out of focus. Can't even read it.
