Wonderful performance. Makes me wish my parents hadn't moved us from Detroit across country to California when I was a kid. As I was listening to this I wondered how many of the orchestra are only there because their parents forced them to learn an instrument as kids? We are all fortunate they did.
Wow wow why did you all make the recent show private..that was great stuff..would definitely pack the seats...I was sharing it. "STRAUSS'S ALPINE SYMPHONY" one...
String and woodwind instruments are not in balance. The strings did not play the melodies clearly and the harmony of the woodwind instruments were too loud and became the dominating sounds. This is not what Mozart had intended.
I don't hear the balance of the wind vs string sections as an issue; there may be moments when the engineer at the mixing board got a bit heavy handed but overall, the balance seems almost exactly right.
@@rayphenicie7344 The historically informed performances have suggested that the winds, timpani, and brass were likely more prominent than were once thougt. This performance is actually a bit middle of the road for balance. Szell and especially Klemperer always were very effective "wind-heavy" conductors of Mozart and Haydn. All that said, the important thing is that a new music director is producing a Mozart performance which, despite a few rough edges, is so ALIVE. More power to Rader B and the Detroiters!
@@rayphenicie7344The balance is right, period. In the late 18th century, string groups were rather small. But since late 19C performances with large string groups, people got used to a warm, broad, romantic sound which has nothing to do with 18C aesthetics. It is a beautiful performance, demonstrating perfect musical understanding of the Mozart orchestra.
I liked the performance. But you know, there are times when I wished that the orchestra could have put a little of their human compassion into the music. For example going into codas that end one of the outer movements, or when the strings or winds have a unison solo(phrase).
Hard choice and excellent, thank You.
Mozart and Jader RULE
Nada como ouvir a excepcional obra de Mozart de modo perfeitamente bem executado. Espetacular. Parabéns 💐💐👏👏👏👏👏.

Proud members of local 38 worked behind the scenes and in a webcast control room named for patron Al Glancy for this and many performances since 2013.
GO GO DSO

That was only while it was uploading. It's available up to 4K now. Thanks for watching & listening.
@@detroitsymphony Thanks so much for letting me know.

this is about as fast as Ive heard it played, probably too fast...the concertmaster is fabulous
