... It may be fround upon, but it just shows the quality of the performance. An American conductor, conducting a South American Orchestra, in a symphony entitled 'From the New World', written by a European. United we stand as a world. The audience at the premier of Beethoven's 9th did the same.
I have to agree with the responses to your criticism. Under certain circumstances, when a piece of music so moves an audience to respond, applause can be wholly forgiven. This happens to be among the best interpretations of the NWS that I've ever heard (and I've heard a ton of them!). The applause is justified. The conductor knows it, and forgives it as well. Bravura performance from top to bottom.
While I generally concur, there is this. From Wikipedia: "At the premiere in Carnegie Hall, the end of every movement was met with thunderous clapping and Dvořák felt obliged to stand up and bow.[21] This was one of the greatest public triumphs of Dvořák's career." The argument could made that applause between this symphony's movements is historically acceptable. See also: standing during the Hallelujah chorus.
White western Europeans stole from the New World they supposedly "discovered" and murdered the natives. And here you are, begrudging their appreciation for the music of their predators because of some lousy unspoken cultural rule they have.
30:52 The contact she makes with player/s is the most wholesome moment in classical music!
The world’s favorite symphony.
Also, the guy behind the concertmaster looks like Mahler and Steve Jobs combined
Amazing! So delicate and thunderous! Beautiful!
Wow
Who applauds between movements? Boo hiss!

Yes to the apologists, but it's a slippery slope. How long before we get cowboy whoops every time we hear a return of the main theme?
