The second movement’s opening never ceases to touch me to the very soul. Tchaikovsky’s ability to detail the anguishes of life, yet somehow tell a story with a little hope and light is unrivaled. The man was a genius.
I couldn't agree more. There is so much pain, suffering and hope (french horn) within these very first seconds of the second movement. It never ceases to amaze me.

That Horn solo in the 2nd Movement. Just Incredible how the whole Orchestra is taking its Full emotions in that part. Some of the best Horn solos I‘ve ever heard. And what an beautiful Perfomance by the orchestra👏
Everytime in my life with uncertainties but with hope, I turn to this masterpiece. My most favorite symphony, not one of. Everytime I listen to it deeply, I feel the more grown up I am. In its first movement, I can't remember how many times the forceful outburst of emotion at 8:42, followed with the softened and kind expressions, has made me cry. That is always the moment I forget about myself, completely getting lost. I am always so thankful, as well, that I can pick up my own violin and play this tune, when I have the surge to express what is embedded deeply in the music. ❤
keep coming back here because this symphony is fucking INSANE. tchaikovsky was indeed a genius, holy cow his music is just beyond words beautiful and indescribable, im on cloud nine listening to this
It's so difficult! So many interpretations, so many ways to do every phrase. But, as a musician, in the end you need to make your choice, let it out and trust your musical ❤. This interpretation is wonderful. The 3rd movement is very light hearted and nimble.
The second movement makes me stop in my tracks just hearing those harmonies and then the French horn stepping in 😩😩 hand down some of the most gorgeous music ever written 💕
Ich bin nicht nur Fan von klassischer Musik, sondern auch ein riesiger Fan von Glenn Miller und entdeckte hier plötzlich die Melodie von Moon Love, einem der besten Songs des Glenn Miller Orchestra. Wunderbare Melodie, in beiden Versionen
Don’t really know anything about music, other than my love for it. I can’t even begin to fathom how a person can create something so beautiful just with marks on a page. I imagine it must require such a knowledge and deep understanding of the inner mechanisms of music. Not to mention the depths of emotion he must’ve accessed to create something so stirring. And that is just creating it. The actual performing is a whole other thing, that is no less impressive. Ahh I’m so grateful for classical music and Tchaikovsky. It’s so beautiful.
@@lillisubz2402 no actually I don’t. I mean classical music in general. These feelings definitely apply to many composers from the baroque and classical eras.
@@michaeljackson2230I’m going to see the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra live next week playing Rachmaninoff’s second symphony and Schumann’s Piano Concerto with Helene Grimaud. I’m so excited!!
IMO this is the best recording of this symphony that exists. This orchestra was flawless. Virtuosic. Incredibly high level, I don't think it's ever been done better.
That, my friends, is a work of pure genius. To compose music at that level is almost impossible for us poor mortals. A wonderful performance makes it even more impressive. Nice job Manfred.
I love the passion of this concert! So many conductors almost seem apologetic about playing Tchaikovsky, as if he needs to be toned down or something. I say if you’re going to do Tchaikovsky, do it with gusto! That second movement is sublime. The horn solo is played with such sensitivity and he really lets it just ooze out and the aching notes speak for themselves.
@@adog3129 Yeah, uh, Tchaikovsky himself made his French contemporaries feel uncomfortable. They considered him a Slavic barbarian. Let's ooze and ache passionately.
Don't know much about classical music but I absolutely love listening to this Tchaikovsky piece. My favourite horn solo ever. Sounds so hauntingly beautiful~
The 5th was the first concert (of any kind) I ever went to. In London in about 1983, the Halle orchestra I think. My Grandad was the big classical music aficionado in our family and made me a cassette of this symphony, and the 6th. Even though I didn't really 'get' the concert the first time, it was a bit too overwhelming, I did listen to the tape and got into it on the 3rd or 4th listen. It's now one of my favourite pieces of classical music.
Eine der schönsten Sinfonien großartig dirigiert von Manfred Honeck und toll gespielt vom hr-Sinfonieorchester. Ich habe diese Sinfonie vor wenigen Tagen live mit Honeck und dem Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra erlebt. Es war gigantisch.
I find this whole symphony absolutely incredible. What surprizes me though is, that while everyone's talking about the 2nd Movement, i rarely see anyone talk about the 1st. The theme is so well implemented into so many different emotions, it starts of as a kind of soft voice and ends up roaring through the concert hall. Truly amazing
Seit Jahren verfolge ich dieses Orchester, und jedes Mal ist eine Wonne sie zu hören, als Muster diese Tschaikowskys 5.Symphonie. Ein Meister Stück der Musik, Gratuliere, gratuliere und vielen Dank für diese schönen Momente!
That horn solo! That Alexander 103 sound! Beautiful playing from everyone from start to finish. There's a reason that Tchaikovsky 5 is such a favorite; it's a brilliant piece of music, with one of the great finales in the orchestral repertoire. Bravo/a to all involved here!
Heerlijk orkest onder de leidingvan een bewogen dirigent!

_Has to be the best performance ever! When I was a kid, I would listen to it at night over and over on KQED. Heard the Boston Symphony live back in 1976 perform it live. Was, is, and will always be my favorite!_ 😍

I heard the BSO play this gem in August this year. I had heard the french horn solo before but never the whole piece. I closed my eyes and could feel the tears falling down my face it was that beautiful to witness in person

OMG I never get tired of listening the magnificency of Chaikovsky orchestraition. I extra love the "Andante Cantabile". The real "Licence" it has is to make people close their eyes and dream. Perfection with conduction and playing. Thanks!
@@johnwiese6760 No, dear John the word Чайковский doesn't need Tch ; its sound is only "Ch". To write it with Tch is absolutely not necessary for the sound goes exactly with Ch in English. Yet I have seen it written even Tsch for other languages in which maybe the sound must be like that. But certainly not in English, Spanish or any other romance language. As I know Russian I know it.
I know of no other composer that elicits such raw emotion from his compositions. This symphony is a masterpiece and it is played with wonderful precision. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony never disappoints!
@@citizent6999 That is one of the great things about classical music, everybody has an opinion on such matters and no one is wrong because the music impacts us differently as individuals. I am also a big fan of Brahms and can easily see your point.
I've loved T's music all of my life. 5th Symphony is probably my favorite of his compositions. Had never seen/heard this performance before and sorry it took me so long to do so. Excellent.
Given that the 2nd movt. is more or less the most emotionally convincing piece of art produced by a human, your mentioning of the 3rd comes off more or less as treason. To the Gulag!
@@netizencapetI agree with you about the second movement! As far as the waltz is concerned, I was only trying to highlight the degree to which Tchaikovsky had developed his art between 1876 and 1888! No offense meant, quite the contrary!
The emotion in this symphony is INCREDIBLE!! I have always loved and admired the way Tchaikovsky projects what he puts on the page. I one day hope to play this piece live
I hadn't heard the piece in a long while. Loved it, then got tired of it. With fresh ears, I have to say, that horn player's tone was extraordinary. I wouldn't mind being his next door neighbor.
13:39 The soul of the Mother Rússia👏👏👏👏 Best Recording ever, thanks for sharing. Мне нравится эта оркестра. Русская культура 💯👌🏻👌🏻 Чайковский мой любимый композитор 🌷♥️
Like, ok mates, this is our moment, enjoy it with your entire soul. Cause if you won t we are gonna play bolero... "this is the peace with the most boring part..."
Goodness me 😮😮😮 what inspired mad genius Pyotr Tchaikovsky to compose this triumphant symphony! Absolutely free reins of emotions, raw, yes, heart on sleeve! His compositions really bring out all the passion and skills of the orchestra 🤯💥 how skillful are these artists to bring to life the robust spirit of of his music! Bravo everyone! 🔥👏👏👏👏
People complain (rightfully) about conductors who wave their hands needlessly as if dancing... with Maestro Honeck I don't think this is the case. Everything he does seems to be calculated to have an effect on the sound (or some other aspect of the performance) without any unnecessary movements. This to me is the sign of a truly great conductor. I also love the elegance and grace with which he addresses the audience and musicians before, during and after the concert. Incredible
Im old now, but I hear this pieces of the great Piotr since I was a baby. It´s a neverending emotion to hear Tchaikovsky music. The best in whole instruments combination. And the unique who gaves to the horn a 1st plan in a piece.
2024 @hr-Sinfonieorchester, What a great Orchestra you have , I love it. I am a bit late, but vielen Dank for this Symphony no: 5. It is brilliantly performed ! 👍🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)
T. is such a master of setting you for a big surprise. The opening of the 4th movement is truly drab and boring. It makes you feel like taking out the newspaper and reading the obituaries. And then Whoa Nelly, (like a horse suddently shooting off at full speed) the piece explodes into high drama in the most inventive way. Bravo Tschaikovsky. What a great performance.
❤😂🎉😮😅😊 Thanks to Tchaikovsky and all of you. At time I lost grips over my head, when I discovered to listen him I really recovered a lot. Many many thanks. Wish you all a very nice and prosperous future.
HR Symphony Orchestra is rapidly becoming one of my favorite interpreters of classical symphonies. Great performance. Brisk tempo, expressive melodies, lively dynamic range, beautiful harmony. Rubato when needed Of course, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony is a sublime masterpiece at anyone's hands.
Je pensais connaître cette œuvre par cœur, mais je me trompais, cette interprétation est vraiment fabuleuse, une prise de vue et une prise de son remarquables, que demander de plus? Un immense bravo à ce très bel orchestre et à son chef!
Excelente Sinfonía!!!!!! Junto a la 4ta. Y 6ta. Son de mi Agrado, me gusta Tchaikovsky por qué en estas Sinfonías le sacan toda la Energia y Conocimiento a los Musicos y Director, para convertirlas en Hermosas Melodias.....
Exactly the performance i was looking for! The sonorité, the energy, the horn, bassoon and clarinet solos in the second movement... just wow. In my opinion one of the best if not even THE best performance here on RUclips!
TSCHAIKOWSKY , GRAN HOMBRE , ADMIRADO Y APLAUDIDO POR TODO EL MUNDO . MILLONES DE GRACIAS POR HABER ESTADO CON NOSOTROS GRAN E INOLVIDABLE HOMBRE . ME HABRÍA GUSTADO SER TU COMPAÑERO EN ESE TIEMPO Y TE HABRÍA AMADO CON TODO MI CORAZÓN ❤ . DIVINO DIOS CUÍDANOSLO POR FAVOR . TE LO ROGAMOS .
Weerom zulk hoogtepunt van dit machtige orkest onder de leiding van een fijne dirigent!. In het bewogen leven van Tschaikowsky deze vreugdevolle, uitbundige vijfde sinfonie !!! Meesterlijk!!!
He has performed this work many times, but this Frankfurt performance was just the best ever, so exciting and romantic, and weren't the orchestra thrilled also? Bravo to all.
I love this orchestra! A vigorous rendition of the 5th, remembering a recording I listened to as a kid, which probably sounded more subdued on a mono record player. Bravo Maestro Honeck. Love your work with the PSO too!
Ich glaube den größten Einfluss für deine Begeisterung hatte der Dirigent. Ich bin kein Fan vom hr Sinfonieorchester, aber sie sind höchstprofessionell und spielen alles, richtig, mit guter Intonation, aber oft langweile ich mich leider, weil oft dieses gewisse Etwas fehlt, der Schmalz, der Spaß und die Freude am Spielen, die Musikalität. Das fehlt bei dem Orchester leider häufig. Jedoch von der Aufnahme bin ich tatsächlich begeistert und ich glaube, dass der Maestro dafür verantwortlich ist.
Someone in the comments said they thought the horn solo in the second movement was bad. I have to disagree! I think it was superbly done. The tempo is quite slow and he really carried the phrase and gave it motion, one of the hardest things to do. I have played this piece many times and I think all of the woodwind playing was first rate, which is to be expected from this orchestra.
I thought it was top notch-- if I had to find something I'd say he wasn't quite with the conductor in the last bars, but at that point you're lucky your brain is working at all.
This is a work that I thought that I had heard more than once too often, but how wrong I was! Maestro Honeck is a master and has made this work gleam with new life! The orchestra is splendid, as they always are. Thank you for posting this superb performance.
I played the second movement in a high school district orchestra and I specifically remember the director telling the strings that the audience shouldn't be able to tell exactly when the first chord began, that's how soft it should be.
This symphony is a wonderful example of how a master of composition can create greatness out of the mundane. I'm talking about the theme on which the whole work is based - it's really a rather trite series of notes, but Tchaikovsky transforms it into something magical.
@@karllieck9064 The fact that the 8-note theme which opens the symphony is hardly a piece of sparkling melodic invention, now is it? Duh, da-da duh, da-da duh, duh.
I'm simply speechless and intimidated from the explosion at 13:27... It's like an appalling war cry: in a moment the accumulated power bursts with violence. Not all the interpretations of this piece are so powerful!

Rehearsal letters on sheet music to divide sections, have no effect on the music but handy to use during rehearsal. The Italian terms announce change in tempo.

OMG I never get tired of listening the magnificency of Chaikovsky orchestraition. I extra love the "Andante Cantabile". The real "Licence" it has is to make people close their eyes and dream. Perfection with conduction and playing. Thanks!
tchaikovsky
sorry i had to
@@johnwiese6760 No, dear John the word Чайковский doesn't need Tch ; its sound is only "Ch". To write it with Tch is absolutely not necessary for the sound goes exactly with Ch in English. Yet I have seen it written even Tsch for other languages in which maybe the sound must be like that. But certainly not in English, Spanish or any other romance language. As I know Russian I know it.
@@johnwiese6760 have you read my explanation?
Alvaro García yeah
@@johnwiese6760 Thanks! I hope I've been helpful in some way.
I know of no other composer that elicits such raw emotion from his compositions. This symphony is a masterpiece and it is played with wonderful precision. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony never disappoints!
Brahms easily does it.
@@citizent6999 That is one of the great things about classical music, everybody has an opinion on such matters and no one is wrong because the music impacts us differently as individuals. I am also a big fan of Brahms and can easily see your point.
@@mysticwanderer4787 Exactly, and this orchestra always satisfies us with its wonderful performances!
@@citizent6999Brahms has never moved me to tears once.
I've loved T's music all of my life. 5th Symphony is probably my favorite of his compositions. Had never seen/heard this performance before and sorry it took me so long to do so. Excellent.
absolutely. :)
Love the look exchanged between the principal and second flute at 38:20, truly enjoying the music
The second movement... So many details and nuances. What a masterpiece.
The Waltz is phenomenal. The body movement really rounds out the rich tone with some playfulness. Made my day.
Amazing how this waltz fulfills the promise made by the waltz in the Third Symphony!
Given that the 2nd movt. is more or less the most emotionally convincing piece of art produced by a human, your mentioning of the 3rd comes off more or less as treason. To the Gulag!
@@netizencapetI agree with you about the second movement! As far as the waltz is concerned, I was only trying to highlight the degree to which Tchaikovsky had developed his art between 1876 and 1888! No offense meant, quite the contrary!
Wonderful hats off to every artist in hr symphony orchestra, great.
He's a weaver - weaving a magical carpet of sounds.
Indeed. It’s impossible to comprehend how someone can birth this symphonism. The monument of music.

Bravo Marc Gruber!
A splendid rendition of that most lovely of horn solos.
The emotion in this symphony is INCREDIBLE!! I have always loved and admired the way Tchaikovsky projects what he puts on the page. I one day hope to play this piece live
I hadn't heard the piece in a long while. Loved it, then got tired of it. With fresh ears, I have to say, that horn player's tone was extraordinary. I wouldn't mind being his next door neighbor.
A marvelous performance, MANY MANY THANKS
Браво! Великолепное исполнение талантливых мастеров!

Best Recording ever, thanks for sharing.
Мне нравится эта оркестра.
Русская культура 💯👌🏻👌🏻
Чайковский мой любимый композитор 🌷♥️
une des plus belle symphonie de Tschaikowsky
I don't know classical music that well but I love this French horn solo, I like this Tchaikovsky piece, it's all so beautiful, I'm very impressed....
You should listen more to classical music. It’s life changing.

Love the entire bass section smiling at 44:22
Like, ok mates, this is our moment, enjoy it with your entire soul. Cause if you won t we are gonna play bolero... "this is the peace with the most boring part..."
I love the energy they give
this is what we bass players live for
Winking and smiling at each other… savoring it!
They were LIT!! 😂😂
I love this performance as it shows the respect that the performers have for Tchaikovsky.
Unequivocally the best recording of Tchaik 5 on the internet.
Frankfurt radio symphony orchestra sounds always beautiful!
Yup
I can't describe how wonderful this symphony is. It's just full of colours, the melody, just bright in colours
Tchaikovsky's pieces never ceases to amaze me, all his works will resonate in my head until death parts my memory.
Goodness me 😮😮😮 what inspired mad genius Pyotr Tchaikovsky to compose this triumphant symphony! Absolutely free reins of emotions, raw, yes, heart on sleeve! His compositions really bring out all the passion and skills of the orchestra 🤯💥 how skillful are these artists to bring to life the robust spirit of of his music! Bravo everyone! 🔥👏👏👏👏
Completely impeccable performance and interpretation with many details and notes played exquisitely and tastely, especially the tempo.
A DIVINE interpretation, in every respect! I'm in love with Honeck's tempi and dynamics!
Absolutely!!
People complain (rightfully) about conductors who wave their hands needlessly as if dancing... with Maestro Honeck I don't think this is the case. Everything he does seems to be calculated to have an effect on the sound (or some other aspect of the performance) without any unnecessary movements. This to me is the sign of a truly great conductor. I also love the elegance and grace with which he addresses the audience and musicians before, during and after the concert. Incredible
Im old now, but I hear this pieces of the great Piotr since I was a baby. It´s a neverending emotion to hear Tchaikovsky music. The best in whole instruments combination. And the unique who gaves to the horn a 1st plan in a piece.
2024 @hr-Sinfonieorchester, What a great Orchestra you have , I love it. I am a bit late, but vielen Dank for this Symphony no: 5. It is brilliantly performed ! 👍🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)
T. is such a master of setting you for a big surprise. The opening of the 4th movement is truly drab and boring. It makes you feel like taking out the newspaper and reading the obituaries. And then Whoa Nelly, (like a horse suddently shooting off at full speed) the piece explodes into high drama in the most inventive way. Bravo Tschaikovsky. What a great performance.
Unbelievable composer, unbelievable work , unbelievable orchestra & conductor 🎩 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome!! This is the new standard of the Tchaikovsky symphony no.5
Couldn’t agree more!
❤😂🎉😮😅😊 Thanks to Tchaikovsky and all of you. At time I lost grips over my head, when I discovered to listen him I really recovered a lot. Many many thanks. Wish you all a very nice and prosperous future.
HR Symphony Orchestra is rapidly becoming one of my favorite interpreters of classical symphonies. Great performance. Brisk tempo, expressive melodies, lively dynamic range, beautiful harmony. Rubato when needed
Of course, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony is a sublime masterpiece at anyone's hands.
Je pensais connaître cette œuvre par cœur, mais je me trompais, cette interprétation est vraiment fabuleuse, une prise de vue et une prise de son remarquables, que demander de plus? Un immense bravo à ce très bel orchestre et à son chef!
Manfred Honeck - such a great and hugely underrated conductor. I've never head a bad performance under his baton.
I thought that his sixth symphony was the most beautiful one... now I don't know. Very difficult to decide, really easy to apreciate both!
But the 4th symphony tho 👏👌
Today I put the 5th over the 6th. Don't know why...
I think I like all of the symphonies! But to me the 5th is the best
Excelente Sinfonía!!!!!! Junto a la 4ta. Y 6ta. Son de mi Agrado, me gusta Tchaikovsky por qué en estas Sinfonías le sacan toda la Energia y Conocimiento a los Musicos y Director, para convertirlas en Hermosas Melodias.....
Exactly the performance i was looking for! The sonorité, the energy, the horn, bassoon and clarinet solos in the second movement... just wow. In my opinion one of the best if not even THE best performance here on RUclips!

TSCHAIKOWSKY , GRAN HOMBRE , ADMIRADO Y APLAUDIDO POR TODO EL MUNDO .
MILLONES DE GRACIAS POR HABER ESTADO CON NOSOTROS GRAN E INOLVIDABLE HOMBRE .

Absolutely amazing composer and Congratulations Frankfurt Symphony Orchestra
Weerom zulk hoogtepunt van dit machtige orkest onder de leiding van een fijne dirigent!. In het bewogen leven van Tschaikowsky deze vreugdevolle, uitbundige vijfde sinfonie !!! Meesterlijk!!!
He has performed this work many times, but this Frankfurt performance was just the best ever, so exciting and romantic, and weren't the orchestra thrilled also? Bravo to all.
brian higgins This orchestra is of course in a different league than what he is used to in Pittsburgh....

@@bubffm Wrong, Pittsburgh is his favorite Orchestra....come to Pittsburgh and find out what I mean, I've sung with Honeck all over the world....facts
I love this orchestra! A vigorous rendition of the 5th, remembering a recording I listened to as a kid, which probably sounded more subdued on a mono record player. Bravo Maestro Honeck. Love your work with the PSO too!
Ich bin begeistert vom Orchester !
Ich glaube den größten Einfluss für deine Begeisterung hatte der Dirigent. Ich bin kein Fan vom hr Sinfonieorchester, aber sie sind höchstprofessionell und spielen alles, richtig, mit guter Intonation, aber oft langweile ich mich leider, weil oft dieses gewisse Etwas fehlt, der Schmalz, der Spaß und die Freude am Spielen, die Musikalität. Das fehlt bei dem Orchester leider häufig. Jedoch von der Aufnahme bin ich tatsächlich begeistert und ich glaube, dass der Maestro dafür verantwortlich ist.
@@toffifeewolf2069No way
Una interpretación realmente magistral!!
Un gran director con una gran orquesta.
Todo mi reconocimiento a ésos talentos 👌
Someone in the comments said they thought the horn solo in the second movement was bad. I have to disagree! I think it was superbly done. The tempo is quite slow and he really carried the phrase and gave it motion, one of the hardest things to do. I have played this piece many times and I think all of the woodwind playing was first rate, which is to be expected from this orchestra.
I agree.
Bassoon mom891 Where Marc Gruber scores in this and other HR videos is what I would call "lightness of touch." I think he's excellent.
...los bronces de esta orquesta tienen un hermoso sonido aterciopelado
Also
I thought it was top notch-- if I had to find something I'd say he wasn't quite with the conductor in the last bars, but at that point you're lucky your brain is working at all.
A musical home run to the heart. Overwhelming.
This is a work that I thought that I had heard more than once too often, but how wrong I was! Maestro Honeck is a master and has made this work gleam with new life! The orchestra is splendid, as they always are. Thank you for posting this superb performance.
41:36 ここのティンパニーがカッコイイ❤
素晴らしい演奏ですね！
感動しました😊
どうもありがとうございます！
I played the second movement in a high school district orchestra and I specifically remember the director telling the strings that the audience shouldn't be able to tell exactly when the first chord began, that's how soft it should be.
🎵 Your music is a radiant sunrise, filling our hearts with hope and promise, a new beginning with every tune. 🌅🎶
this symphony is so beautiful...reminds me of nutcracker a lot and Christmas tchaikovsky
This symphony is a wonderful example of how a master of composition can create greatness out of the mundane. I'm talking about the theme on which the whole work is based - it's really a rather trite series of notes, but Tchaikovsky transforms it into something magical.
Wth are you talking about?
@@karllieck9064 The fact that the 8-note theme which opens the symphony is hardly a piece of sparkling melodic invention, now is it? Duh, da-da duh, da-da duh, duh.
I'm simply speechless and intimidated from the explosion at 13:27... It's like an appalling war cry: in a moment the accumulated power bursts with violence. Not all the interpretations of this piece are so powerful!

Rehearsal letters on sheet music to divide sections, have no effect on the music but handy to use during rehearsal. The Italian terms announce change in tempo.
