Oh ho ho ho HO! What an orchestra. One hears all of the menace in this music when CSO plays. The way the trombones "open" up. Gosh! I have heard them live a few times (including the famous Shostakovich 7 conducted by Bernstein). The almost casual and frightening virtuosity of the playing of this orchestra is quite unlike any other that i have heard live or otherwise (at least from this period the late 70's till the early 90's). Many thanks. Hari
Como siempre, Gran Barenboim !!!! Lástima que no tengamos un vídeo como éste de Sir Georg Solti interpretando también Le Sacre du Printemps. Tanto en Barenboim como en Solti hay dos espectáculos: la orquesta y, yo casi diría mejor aún, el espectáculo del director. Sobre todo en esta partitura supergenial y superendiablada. Si no se ve, no se cree.
Nothing like the CSO sound that Reiner cultivated; incomparably rich, huge timbres perfectly suited to the primitive soundscape and world of "The Rite..."
When they can play something beyond amazing like this, I would love to hear them play some soundtracks from Ghibli films, especially using brass like some My Neighbor Totoro scenes. This is some monster piece performed perfectly with excitement every moment. :)
I believe the concert is from one of the performances from the CSO European tour in 1994. One of the players in this concert retired in 1997, and the next time this piece was played in concert overseas was in 2000. So it couldn't have been that year.
@@lokomateo Yes. You are correct. The year they took it overseas, Wayman Jerome Stover was playing second tuba along with Gene Pokorny. Stover was also on the tour of Europe. I heard the performance of The Rite of Spring live back in 2000. It was great then! 😁👍👏🎶🎻🎺📯🎼🎹🥁
@@paulybarr An orchestra needs a conductor to interpret the music, unless they're a conductor-less orchestra, in which case the musicians discuss and decide collectively how the music should go. I don't think that occurred here.
@@JOHNROBERTPRIBULA Where in the performance? 1:40, 1:52, 2:05, 5:24, 6:45, 7:14, 12:33, 14:00, 19:59, 20:57 - just to name a very few. I've played in orchestras for 60 years. I've played under Bernstein, Sinopoli, Copland, Muti, Mehta, Kleiber, Temirkanov, Giulini, Cleve, Pretre, Thomas, among many others. I'm also a composer, and I've studied Le Sacre Du Printemps. Yes, Berenboim was giving cues, but he didn't know this score intimately. And I do know something.
A lot of it was rushed, actually. Part of the majesty of this piece is the change in tempi AND dynamics at certain parts. I’m sure it was just to keep audience retention.
It's a matter of interpretation. The way it's played here is closer to how it is on the page. Bassoonists have traditionally stretched it out more, but it's not required.
5:07 thank you mr. Pokorni for that lovely note
Barenboim conducting at the end is just perfect!
Chicago Symphony always has the BEST and LOUDEST brass section, love CSO rip BUD
A brilliant performance. 100% exciting. My old friend Bruce Yeh shows his skills too as one of the greatest Eb clarinet players...ever!
He's fantastic.
I love this performance. Nobody plays this magnificent piece quite like the CSO. It has to be Barenboim's finest. I'm so glad to see it back here.
One of the absolute greatest symphony orchestra recorded footage from our time!
White tee shirt dude loving that sequence at 14:14

So French...the bassoon. Just beautiful.
5:10 nothing but pure, Chicago T O N E!!!!
POKORNY TONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got that right sir!
Herseth is unbelievable on trumpet
Wow, this is vicious and beyond exciting. Glad to come across this! CSO brass are unstoppable here!!
Damn straight.

Monumental, maravilloso, impresionante...!!!!
23:28 is the beginning of the one most terrifying moments in this entire genre.
I always count to 11 at that moment. I think I'd have to if I were playing it.
Scott Knitter same
Increíble lo bien que dirige Baremboin la música moderna, solo lo he visto con clásicos., esta versión de Le Sacre es perfecta. la estoy gozando
Any piece of music which is capable of causing Parisians to *_riot_* is worthy of _at least_ one listen.
It’s back up! This was gone for a solid year and a half from RUclips
Yes! and thank God. Gustavo Dudamel is good, but DB takes the biscuit!!!
*At **5:07** we can briefly see Bill Clinton playing the french horn*
A very good rendition.

Love Chicago Symphony .
The BEST what i ever saw!!!
Bravo! Bravo! Thanks,
What an amazing performance!
Damn Barenboim can conduct a mean stravinsky!
Best what i ever saw and heard !!!
So you have not seen and heard too much so far...
Wonderful performance! Super exciting.
At 27 min 25, the trompetist looks like Sergueï Prokofiev.
Strong brass section
yeah, massive, American style :)

6:06 !!!!
da da da da... da ra rammm da da.. da ra rammm
😂
3:19 sorry sir but u look really unreal..
Thank you for subscribing my channel.
Isn't the one-minute section at the 15 min. mark just about the greatest thing in classical music?
Shivers
Yup! The section is called Danse de la terre- Dance of the earth.
How come around 33:07 it goes really quiet and the strings do a pizzicato insted of bows?
Ghost Toast n
Stravinsky made adjustments to the score over many years- this is one such passage, where he changed arco strings to pizzicato.
When they can play something beyond amazing like this, I would love to hear them play some soundtracks from Ghibli films, especially using brass like some My Neighbor Totoro scenes. This is some monster piece performed perfectly with excitement every moment. :)
24:58 Ooooops
What year is this actually from?
Antonio Cerri probably early 2000’s at the latest.
@@XxSypherxX91 Early 90s

24:28 Oooooopps
The guy right behind the conductor in this shot is wearing a white tee shirt. Awesome.
... you mean the Yahoo in the tee shirt, don't you?
He seemed to be really enjoying the concert. Who cares what he was wearing?
My guess is that he is a low brass player!
Autodidact2 - The concert hall is place for music, not fashion.
@@autodidact2499 Handsome yahoo. Nice contrast with the evening wear behind him.
Tremebundo
B has his nose in the score much too often
That's okay. They're a great and well rehearsed. Besides, orchestras always know the music better than the conductor.

Where during the performance? He was giving cues very well. You don't know anything. Have you looked at the score?

Did you listen Stravinsky's own recording? Did you know Stravinsky's purpose? No... This is right.
