Maybe she was only trying to change the frequency response of the sound by covering her ears, many music lovers and musicians do that when trying to listen to the low frequencies.
I don’t think that so called classical music is what defines the real musical creativity of past 60 yrs. For instance the sound of Pink Floyd or Punk Rock, Detroit Tamla Mowtown artists, David Bowie etc. they are the unique sound of 1970’s (at least for me). Whilst pop music does not attempt to be self consciously intellectual nor as harmonically complex as what we are listening to above, there is a zeitgeist about Pink Floyd or Bowie or The Stranglers etc that captured the very essence of the drab post war era that we shared and lived through together (despite the fears of Cold War and the relative economic austerity of the 70’s.) No classical composer can ever capture that essence or spirit of the era in the same way that pop music does. And I write this as a lifelong working classical musician and lover of Debussy,Ravel,Stravinsky, Lutoslawski etc.
Pop music is simply boring. The fact that you have to underlay the old harmonies of Schubert and Bruckner with a beat just so you can headbang is completely unmusical.
The World's Greatest Orchestra plays the World's Silliest Composition. Would this have been allowed during von Karajan's tenure? NEIN. (And before you accuse me of being a Luddite, reflect that my favorite opera is Wozzeck.)
Mike Patton I disagree that their music is dull. In my opinion, the majority of music is predictable in comparison to this, I agree on that. Have a nice day.
Joaquim Méndez He means this piece by saying random noise. You might find some patterns in this "music", but in the end you can find patterns from the voice of traffic or a street drill and you wouldn't consider it music.
what a shitty music, no rhythm, no melody, just annoying noise... the weirdest part is that they look so serious... poor musician who do this for a living, I'd rather be deaf...
I can see how your musicians are suffering, Berliner Philharmoniker. Could you please stop torturing your workers and now on play music, not shitty noise. Thanks!
@@thomaslaubli1886 I already lost my hearing with this one. Is there a point where you could say maybe it's just too much and not just that one's hearing isn't good enough? Maybe ten jackhammers on stage and the conductor using a violin as a baton throwing it on the floor in the end of the piece? Would that be good institutional critique? What if there was 100 piccolo players playing the highest note they can for an hour? Why wouldn't you like that? Maybe your hearing isn't just developed enough. Or would you like it? Maybe we could combine the jackhammers and piccolos... there's some Kraft 2.0 for you.
Awesome. This is why I sometimes (correction: always) wish I lived in Berlin.
That is one giant gong!
Dr. Duck: gaming the slow way It’s the largest ever made. I think that’s one of the only ones ever made.
Really nice music ! Awesome to be able to see the performance.
that one girl who's covering her ears at 2:03 hahaha
So disrespectful.
Joaquim Méndez Maybe the music was very loud live and she was protectin her ears
And maybe the piece made her feel sick. I was at a concert with a modern shitty piece and i felt sick during and after the performance.
I call you, sir, disrespectful for considering this piece of crap as music. I feel bad for the girl, having to suffer such torture.

Andreas Ottensamer Playing the Gong??? 0:29. Is Andreas or not??
Yes~~!! Truly he is!!!!@@|| Incredible isn't it~~
I think he doubles gong.
My reflection too! :-)
Not to mention blowing bubbles in a bucket of water.
wtffffff
It says so little - to so few...
Have you even heard the whole piece and got an idea of the form?
great modern classical
This sounds like the most heavily edited work on the DCH.
Cudos to DCH putting this up, am very happy!
Why does alan have a whistle
Because he will need it in the course of the piece.

Congrats, you're a century late.
Seriously? Come on, "Wozzeck" is ancient already.
Thou art old-fashioned. This is a masterpiece, there are other more sillier pieces that shouldn't be performed at all.
How can you hate that gong!?
Music is not silly, but mostly the listener who refuses to develop his hearing.
the emperor has no clothes... or qualitative judgment is failing me due to the obviously intentional chaos
Have you even heard the whole piece and got an idea of the form?
@@thomaslaubli1886 based on the excerpt I would not be inclined to, not that it's bad per se, it just doesn't pique my curiosity
I wonder what e.g Tchaikovsky or Debussy would think of this.

Perhaps they would realize that their own music are dull and predictable!

At least it's music and not random noise.
What do you mean with random noise?
Joaquim Méndez He means this piece by saying random noise. You might find some patterns in this "music", but in the end you can find patterns from the voice of traffic or a street drill and you wouldn't consider it music.
noise can be beautiful, this is just no substance.
Ziemlich international die "Berliner" ...
Nowadays, it is difficult to tell music, sound and noise apart.
Do you always think in such inartistic categories?
耳塞いでる人おるやん笑

Music is not shitty, but mostly the listener who refuses to develop his hearing.
Sounds a bit like Charles Ives, but with considerably less ability.

zzzzzzz...

See? This is why we can’t have nice things....🤮
