Andris Nelsons conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in part two of Dvoľák's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, 'From the New World' during Proms 2010 season.
This is the most beautiful piece ever made. I played this to my grandpa on his funeral 2009 and it still gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. I hope you're having it good in the new world grandpa, I miss you everday. Vila i frid älskade morfar
I love to watch this man conducting. He always shows a passion for the music his orchestra is playing--he enjoys what he’s doing and expresses his feelings openly, as he should. Bravo, Maestro and Bravo to this great orchestra, no matter how many years ago this took place!
Mr Nelsons shows his emotions! Some see this as a weakness because they are afraid to show emotions! I see it as an enormous strength! Beautifully played people!!!!
Agreed. Btw, it's not an oboe (although part of the oboe family), it's a cor anglais. It has a slightly woodier sound en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor_anglais
My primary is English horn. Dvorak and Cesar Franc's d minor are my showpieces. Conductors can "hand it to you" or try to direct every note, the latter if which makes for a very mechanical solo, or those that prefer a particular ornamenation on Wiliam Tell, in which you play the way you want and let him fume over it.
If folk were considerate, then they would cough in the correct key for the piece being played, on this case e minor, noting any key changes in the piece. In my day, ..... etc.
@Helmholtz53 I agree with you on this part. But I also would like to note that the conductors are their to give volume, feeling and soul to the music(In my opinion). Because anybody who practices hard can play any piece of music they want. But to play it with feeling and soul is a completely different way of playing. You can see it here when the musicians move with the music. That way you can see they are listening to what they play and completely go into it.
So good. But, it is so quiet! My headphones are all the way up on volume but is so quiet. I absolutely love New World. I heard it on a game and knew I loved it!
The conductor IS rather odd--all the grimacing--but if that inspired his forces---then so be it. I wonder though, if R. Strauss would approve--does the conductor need all this facial stuff? He's just there to just keep the beat, right?? No other symphony has as much warmth, color and heart such as this one...Such a masterpiece. And, so American sounding--and then Czech in other places--very multi cultural....I hear the Mississippie mud in this work--if that is possible...
@agrigoat none the less, its unnerving. People shouldn't be going to formal settings if they are too sick to hold their coughs back or be silent as much as possible during a performance. It's just courtesy and respect.
It's unfortunate that some conductors believe they are the showpiece, but in reality, his/her job is to "play"' the orchestra. I play woodwind instruments, the conductor's instrument is his/her instrument in that every section has to be alligned and brought together in the way which the conductor wants the piece...not of the same opinion of many, but he's paying the salary, so play it the way he wants, no matter how you disagree. Waving and making a show is secondary..to us anyway. We smirk..
@windstorm1000 Although i agree with you on the conductors face, i still wonder what R. Strauss should have to say about a symphony by Dvorak? Did he have anything to do with it?

Warum kann man die Teile 1,2,3 und 5 dieses Konzertes in Deutschland sehen und Teil 4 ist gesperrt. Kann mir jemand darauf eine Antwort geben? Die GEMA - Einmischungen werden immer paradoxer.
@dennykay Nothing at all--I am just being hypothetical. There are two conducting schools--the closer-to-the composer-'intention' and no grimacing--ie-Strauss, Toscanini. and the broader more emotional ones--ie Bernstein, Furtwangler. To put things in a longer historical context, Mendelssohn would fit in the former, Wagner in the latter. I think both are valid--the important thing is they get the 'guts' emotional draw of the piece out.
@jazzbassbone2000 no, I don't believe so....the alto oboe sounds like an oboe with a cold...the English horn (it is neither) has a distinctive timber all its own.
because you dodn't need a lot of winds and brass etc. The strings cannot achieve the same volume/timbre as the wind and brass. They wouldn't be so audible if there was just one of each string instrument. Trust me, brass and wind are LOUD! xD that' why they need back-up to match the sound levels ;)
OK. But you'd only have to drill a few holes, screw a few electrical components into place, hook it to an amplifier, and you'd have a Strad or a Guarneri that could be heard all the way to the back of the auditorium. Just a thought.
@PhysicalsimForever It is INSPIRED by the spiritual--but no direct quotes--which makes for even more genius that Dvorak--a Czech composer--absorbed the real FEELING in his short stay in NYC. Coughing? There should be bowls of cough drops at the entrence of every music hall. And also an intelligent listener should NOT come if they have a cold!! Its called common sense and courtesy--in short supply even in concert halls!!!
He is like many conductors, putting all his feeling into the piece...listen to the orchestra and watch his cues....he gives the soloists liberty and simply cues like saying.."its all yours". I have played under many worse. Maybe you should sit in an orchestra sometime and try to play musically when the conductor is directing like a machine.
For God's sake. Do you seriously think the conductor's elaborate expressions and movements are for...show business? I'm fairly sure Andris couldn't give a flying shit what he looks like whilst he conducts. He is trying to coax as much emotion and expression out of the orchestra, and trust me, when the conductor's not feeling it, neither are you.
@Violinkid05 You sound like such a lovely compassionate person. Screw the potential for music to be a unifying force for all mankind, lets be idiots and spew bile cause someone coughs. Did peopel not cough in Dvorak's time?
Some "conductors" yes, But I have been in front of TOO many who think they are THE showpiece and simply follow the orchestra. In many cases the orchestra performs in spite of the moron waving the baton. Still, a musician has to play musically, and if you have a musical conductor who shows emotion as Andris, great. He shows what he feels and you go with him. Too few of this type. Diff between an orchestra and a bull; With a bull, the horns are in front and a-hole in back.

Then you would just destroy the beautiful instrument... Don't trust entirely on modern technology when it comes to music... a stradivarius would loose it's soul and sound if it was "modified" with electronic components... It's like painting dreadlocks on Mona Lisa or give the David statue a sweater... It doesn't fit and it ruins it's original soul
Excellent Performance by the musicians. Don't agree with the phrasing they HAD to do because of the conductor, or of having to to look at his silly grinning clown face... gets a D- on the boring acting job. Coughers: how about a tracheotomy before the next concert?
This is the most beautiful piece ever made. I played this to my grandpa on his funeral 2009 and it still gives me the chills everytime I listen to it.

Best symphony ever written... in my opinion. Just wow. Every movement.. from first to last.
Mr Nelsons shows his emotions! Some see this as a weakness because they are afraid to show emotions! I see it as an enormous strength! Beautifully played people!!!!
This is one of the most lovely works
of music that you will ever hear!
He's managed to interpret it differently, without changing it at all. Fantastic performance.
Every movement is just mindblowing. freakin awesome stuff.
*Mental note* Request that somebody plays this at my funeral! I can't think of a more fitting piece of music to describe everything that I am.
That man. That man must be loving life. I love him.
I love watching the conductors facial expressions while he conducts...so much emotion and it just aimply beautiful
Pantomime
This is a younger Andries Nelson’s! He just loves music and shows it! All power to him!
Exceptionnel, je suis sans voix, je lécoute en boucle et cela depuis plusieurs semaines !
Our fist gas cooker was a New World one. It didn't last as this wonderful piece.
Simply love this!
fantastic and stunning!
これを寝る前に聴くと、明日も良い一日になりそうと思える。
I love the New World Symphony --and especially love the "Largo!!!"
Great oboe solo here. Love it!
Agreed. Btw, it's not an oboe (although part of the oboe family), it's a cor anglais. It has a slightly woodier sound en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor_anglais
Excellent performance - very touching!
Very pretty! I think this was one of Reader's Digest all time greatest classical hits.
My primary is English horn. Dvorak and Cesar Franc's d minor are my showpieces. Conductors can "hand it to you" or try to direct every note, the latter if which makes for a very mechanical solo, or those that prefer a particular ornamenation on Wiliam Tell, in which you play the way you want and let him fume over it.
Its wounderfull!!!!!!!!!
Oh... Mah... God... Amazing
Twelve people dislike Hovis Bread? 'Eeeeeee when I wer t'lad....
That Cor Anglais is simply divine.
If folk were considerate, then they would cough in the correct key for the piece being played, on this case e minor, noting any key changes in the piece. In my day, ..... etc.
agree, ......and also in the right tempo!
Part 2 gives me tinges everytime I hear it.
love respect
Bravo !!!!!!

Nádherná skladba!
0:25 ( 0:26 ) Introducjtion, 1:05 Thema, 5:20 Trio: 5:22 1.Thema,(lamento), 6:02 2.Thema (marche), 8:55 3.Thema (Cis dur, Pastorale) -> ruclips.net/video/3vX90yTyG7w/видео.html = 0.05 etc.
So good. But, it is so quiet! My headphones are all the way up on volume but is so quiet. I absolutely love New World. I heard it on a game and knew I loved it!
Perfect derp face at the very end.
The conductor IS rather odd--all the grimacing--but if that inspired his forces---then so be it. I wonder though, if R. Strauss would approve--does the conductor need all this facial stuff?

this beat be cracking, yo!

2:13 - A big YAWN :D (my favourite recording so far)
Csongor Miklós Ah! My tone deaf friend again! Go to sleep!
reminds me of pioneering across the wild west...
@Helmholtz53 I stand corrected. Thank you.
It's unfortunate that some conductors believe they are the showpiece, but in reality, his/her job is to "play"' the orchestra.

Teil 4 ist gesperrt. Kann mir jemand darauf eine Antwort geben? Die GEMA - Einmischungen werden immer paradoxer.
@windstorm1000 ah, allright, thanks for the larger context :)
I see. So they don't use microphones, or electric pickups on the stringed instruments?
@dennykay Nothing at all--I am just being hypothetical. There are two conducting schools--the closer-to-the composer-'intention' and no grimacing--ie-Strauss, Toscanini. and the broader more emotional ones--ie Bernstein, Furtwangler. To put things in a longer historical context, Mendelssohn would fit in the former, Wagner in the latter. I think both are valid--the important thing is they get the 'guts' emotional draw of the piece out.
I don't like the way people keep coughing
@jazzbassbone2000 no, I don't believe so....the alto oboe sounds like an oboe with a cold...the English horn (it is neither) has a distinctive timber all its own.
There's a scent of the USA where is nostalgic
because you dodn't need a lot of winds and brass etc. The strings cannot achieve the same volume/timbre as the wind and brass. They wouldn't be so audible if there was just one of each string instrument. Trust me, brass and wind are LOUD! xD that' why they need back-up to match the sound levels ;)

Извините, а кто дирижёр?
jej Largo zpíváme na sboru :D

This would be amazing but it seems like there is some kind of viral cough happening in the audience.
"Part 2"? You mean "Second Movement" surely?
For me, the pacing is all over the place sadly. Try to listen to the Colin Davis Philips recordings.
Why are there so many violins and not a lot of any other single instrument?
Wonder shon.
The Hovis, advert.
@Violinkid05 I know. It sounds like this concert is being performed for a leper colony.
why does everyone have to cough in the quite parts?
He is like many conductors, putting all his feeling into the piece...listen to the orchestra and watch his cues....he gives the soloists liberty and simply cues like saying.."its all yours". I have played under many worse. Maybe you should sit in an orchestra sometime and try to play musically when the conductor is directing like a machine.
Si te ries pierdes tu nivel
*cough*
I agree about the coughing. People should learn to stiffle it and cover their mouths.
For God's sake. Do you seriously think the conductor's elaborate expressions and movements are for...show business? I'm fairly sure Andris couldn't give a flying shit what he looks like whilst he conducts. He is trying to coax as much emotion and expression out of the orchestra, and trust me, when the conductor's not feeling it, neither are you.
@Violinkid05 You sound like such a lovely compassionate person. Screw the potential for music to be a unifying force for all mankind, lets be idiots and spew bile cause someone coughs. Did peopel not cough in Dvorak's time?
He looks like a Rowan Atkinson!!!!jejejeje Mr.Bean conducting!!!
they are all coughing, because this was charity concerto at tuberclosis lazaret
Some "conductors" yes, But I have been in front of TOO many who think they are THE showpiece and simply follow the orchestra.

Erik Valdemar Sköld - Composer Are you talking about mutes on the violin’s bridges?
03:40 Yeah, you have to cough in that part, son of a .....
Of course not! :)
the first solo are playing slur..i thought it was suppose to be legato (as written on the score)....
You people are too sensitive about coughing.
The coughing ruined an otherwise well rendered piece
YES THAT MAKE ME SICK! in the slowest and smooth parts *cough cooug* U.U i hate it
Y'all just take your opinion too seriously.This is just nice
obvious troll is obvious
Dvorak 9... YYYAAAAAAWWWWWWWN. what's the fucking point?!
Excellent Performance by the musicians. Don't agree with the phrasing they HAD to do because of the conductor, or of having to to look at his silly grinning clown face... gets a D- on the boring acting job. Coughers: how about a tracheotomy before the next concert?
I didnt know Jim Carey conducted
