Having Claude Debussy as your first flute gives the orchestra something of an advantage in the final movement.
😂🤣😂🤣😁😁😁
He has aged well, hasn't he? 🙄
lol
Debussy sojourning in Frankfurt?
Hmmmm, usually, it suites German artistic and other ambitions to feel they are the ones in Montmartre, whilst still comfortably in Frankfurt! A very popular sentiment amongst the Wehrmacht from June 1940 to Aug 1944.
With love and good humoured satire, andrea
You can say that time has forgiven and spared him generously
I love the way the first movement seems to begin in the middle of a story that has already been going on for years
..because it has: compare bar 77 onward in the adagio from Beethoven's 29th piano sonata.
What a wonderful comment. When this symphony ends I am going to go back to the beginning to see what you mean.
@@shirleyrombough8173 Brahms Symphony #1 begins with controlled tension, like a war is about to start. The beginning of #4 is indeed more mellow, as if one were to start jogging, or ice skating on a frozen pond.
That's exactly what I feel - just casually it begins
That is a great comment. It definitely sounds exactly like that. Starting at that point without missing any of the previous story that still goes on. Seamless.
The Second Movement brings tears.... Not able to express the soulful feeling

Very helpful, thanks for sharing!!

Wow thx sooo much 😆
This level of professional help is surprising but satisfactory. 😆
Thank you this is very helpful for excerpts
I have the deepest respect for the work of Johannes Brahms. So refined and delicately well-crafted, and yet so moving.
I love how he gives so much gratitude to the orchestra
The 4th movement is literally a masterpiece. The flute solo, the oboe & clarinet solo, the trombones solo...
My favorite part of this symphony is the coda to the first movement. I know what's coming but it still leaves me breathless!
@@nasirkaczka6850 Absolutely! The suspense Brahms builds towards the end of the first movement is amazing!
This is a fine performance of a great symphony. Orozco-Estrada understands Brahms.
The greatest ever in my opinion!
Andres Orozco Estrada is simply an amazing conductor.
He certainly is one of the greatest
He's the greatest!
Thank you, Mr. Andrés Orozco-Estrada
Orchestra does full justice to Brahm's masterful orchestration. I've loved Brahms 4th since I was a young girl. My first record paid for by saving my meagre pocket money. I believe it was Sir Adrian Bolt's glorious interpretation.
Honestly I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Brahms work is pretty ok to me (obviously we have our own opinions). I think Tchaikovsky's work was more enticing, but Brahms's work is pretty alright.
@@Jaballs23 Dude that has nothing at all to do with her comment. It's like if she had said she liked honeycrisp apples, and you replied how much you love oranges.
@@thomassnider6691brilliant analogy 😂
@@Jaballs23I love them both but as the saying goes, “Brahms is better than he sounds and Tchaikovsky sounds better than he is.” Both very different composers but of the two Brahms is the exquisite craftsman.
Thank you first to the conductor and then to Brahms. Bravo!.
Brahms is definitely a fundamental pillar of the classical period. However his symphonies simultaneously transmit a strength and calm that only an extraordinary composer can achieve. This fourth symphony is a wonderful piece of music a true masterpiece, which intervenes moments of deep calm with others of great vigor, just like the life of ourselves. Brahms is an unusual composer of glorious and magnificent music. Viva Brahms and his fabulous music. The orchestra and direction are amazing.Thanks for the fantastic recording.
True, but thank God we don't have to choose between Brahms and Wagner and Bruckner. All are geniuses whose music has already stood the test of time and will continue to.@@jebclar8859

MAGISTRAL interpretación de la Cuarta Sinfonía del compositor alemán del Romanticismo Johannes Brahms por esta importante orquesta dirigida excelentemente por Andrés Orozco-Estrada. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.
37:47-40:43 : Perhaps one of the best moments of western classcal music tradition ever produced. Very well interpreted!
This symphony is magnificent when played well, and here we have an excellent relationship between the voices of the orchestra with each other and the conductor. Very well performed throughout. I wish we could have more of Brahms.... so much was lost.
For donkey's years I've loved my recording of Brahms 4 by Otto Klemperer & the Philharmonia. I thought there couldn't be a better interpretation of this work. Congratulations Andrés & Frankfurt for proving me wrong. This is superb.
you may change your mind preharps , I recommended you to listen to recording of Brahms 4 by Wilhem Furtwangler
Without Brahms and his great performers such as these performers and conductor ,
our life would have been very lonely and insipid ,
and the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been less .

Great pride that this excelent conductor be of my country, Colombia.
Your pride is very well placed... he is a great conductor, and I am sure he gives you great performances in Colombia.
Yes, it's good to see diversity here with a Latino as conductor of the hr-S. But other than that, what does his being from Colombia have to do with anything? Nationalism is inappropriate here because music is known as the *international* language crossing all geographic borders, speaking to people of all ethnicities no matter where they live or where they were born or where the musicians were born. The finest musicians in the world -- which include Andrés and the hr-S -- can perform any music splendidly regardless of where the music was composed or where the performers were born or live. It reminds me of the outdated "leave Russian music to Russians" which is nationalistic rubbish because I've heard some musicians from Brazil and other countries play Rachmaninov just as well if not better than some Russian-born pianists. To my knowledge Andrés doesn't perform/conduct in Colombia, not that I've read. He commutes to Houston to conduct the Houston Symphony Orchestra and obviously conducts the hr-S. He lives in Austria. The hr-S is consistently superb and I enjoy watching humble and modest Andrés conduct. They are my favourite Orchestra.
Sublime, bella, desgarradora, tantas emociones..... Perfecta.
Brahms un gigante de la música!
Excellent!!! Magnifique!!! Ce chef d'orchestre n'est pas aussi connu qu'un Karajan, qu'un Lorin Maazel, qu'importe, il est excellent. Une des meilleures interprétations de la 4ème de Brahms que j'aie pu entendre. Et il fait applaudir ses musiciens à la fin, quelle modestie !! Merci, merci, merci!
The first movement enters into my heart and soul. I remember the first time I listened to Brahms symphony 4; it had me at the first note. Then comes the second movement, and yet again you’re in a hypnotic state.
Just brilliant
Interesting that I had the same experience. I remember to this day that I was listening to the radio before going to a bike race meeting and this symphony came on and I was mesmerized by it, no idea who the performers were. I was 16 at the time and it was this moment that started my life long love of the Brahms symphonies.
@@TheVaughan5 I, too, was mesmerized by the first notes. I felt Brahms' loneliness despite his musical genius. Great work does not substitute for human relationships. Why didn't he marry Clara? She was older than he, but so was his mother older than his father. See Swafford biography.
Yes, that first note, then the second & third…as the hook to grab one’s full attention to a story.
I'm experiencing it for the first time tonight 🎼🎶🎶🔥
Incredible how all of the Brahms symphonies grab you from the very first notes!
An incredibly stylish performance from a wonderful German treasure.
The transition from 5:30 to 6:30 is one of the best I've heard.
This wonderful Orchestra HR Frankfurt conducted by Maestro Orozco-Estrada is incredibly musical; besides it has a great amount of musicians enough to change them performance to performance.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
hr 심포니 오케스트라가 현악, 관악파트 모두 브람스의 음악을 최고로 들려주는군요. 언제나 최고입니다.
As I've discovered now that I got some free Airpods, if you don't listen to this orchestra with really good headphones or loudspeakers, you are missing a lot. The orchestral balance is marvelous. I can hear every single part, at just the right volume. The combination of precision and lustrous sound always amazes me. Once again, bravo maestro Orozco-Estrada and Frankfurt Radio Symphony.
Bravo,Maestro. Bravi, orchestra members.
Thank you for making this public. I enjoy your videos very much.
The last movement makes me cry, the melody is just too beautiful.
At 5:00 I love how they emphasized and express the cello part.
Perfection at 21:04
From the silent wind players looks of admiration and reverence for the string section below. Just look at the faces of flautists and oboists. Very moving.
Maravillosa interpretación del gran Brahms, saludos desde Uruguay, Luis
Magisterially conducted, magisterially interpreted. Kudos to everybody. This is just terrific.
Yet another great performance from a great conductor and moreover a great German orchestra. How lucky the residents of Frankfurt are to have an orchestra of this enormous standing and professionalism.
Masterpiece. I do cry when I listen to the last movement . I don't know why. I can feel the innermost fight and tense passion of the composer. The execution nails that. This is my Brahms' favourite symphony...for sure.
A very good orchestra! I enjoy listening to their performances. Thank you very much!
Here is an analysys for the piece if you are interested.
Johannes Brahms - Symphony № 4, in E minor, 1885
The symphony is the pinnacle of Brahms in the symphonic genre. There is a classic four-part cycle, culminating in the fourth part - Pasakalia.
The first part is written in sonata form. It starts right with the main theme, which is brightly sung and excited. It is composed of Brahms' favorite intervals - thirds and sixths, separated by pauses that create a sense of excitement. The theme develops and acquires a dramatic sound in the exhibition. The second theme is also melodic and lyrical, but sounds more passionate and tense in cellos. The transition between these two themes, which is a heroic and appealing motif, contrasts. He plays an important role in the first part and sounds many times as opposed to other topics. The conclusion of the exhibition has a heroic and strong-willed character. The elaboration is dynamic and tense, it starts with the main theme in the main key and there are three waves of rising tension. The motives of the main theme are opposed to the theme-call from the transition. The reprise begins quietly and peacefully. The topics have been changed and thematically enriched. The first part ends with a dramatic code in which the main theme sounds in augmentation, tragic and in a canonical version, the appealing and fanfare intonations of the theme of the transition sound. The code is the culmination of the first part and suggests the tragic outcome of the finale.
The second part is in sonata form without elaboration and creates an atmosphere of antiquity and contemplation. The main theme sounds in solo Waldhorns, has romantic elegiac intonations and is in Phrygian style. It develops variationally, reaching a heroic culmination. The second theme is also lyrical, but sounds in cellos. Her brief development flows into the reprise, where both themes vary while maintaining a contemplative mood.
The third part is a dynamic scherzo in a complex three-part form, and in parts I and III sonata principles are used. The second part is of the developed type. The main theme of the scherzo is a lively folk dance character. In its development it acquires masculine and heroic features and reminds of the heroic images from Beethoven's symphonies. The second theme is graceful and songful, also with an ethnic basis.
The fourth part presents ancient variations of the passocal-type basso ostinato. The main theme of the variations is an 8-bar chorale, borrowed from the cantata of JS Bach. It sounds harsh, tense and threatening in wind instruments, in E minor with IV advanced degree. There are 31 variations and widely developed code. The variations form three groups with different functions. Brahms combines variational and sonata principles of development.
The first group of variations is up to X variation incl. and plays the role of exposure. The development reaches a dramatic culmination.
The second group is from XI to XV variation and is the lyrical center of the finale. It creates an atmosphere of reflection and peace. The minor key is replaced by a major. Solo wooden wind instruments - flute, clarinet, oboe.
The third group of variations (from the 16th to the end) plays the role of development and reprise. Dramatic images, intense development and vivid emotional contrasts return here. The finale ends with a tragic code that expresses the basic idea that death is an integral part of life and cannot be defeated.
Thank you~~

amazing. So much passion in this music!
Esta es otra MUY buena interpretacion de la afamada sinfonia del GENIAL Brahms, sobre todo por el buen SONIDO que ayuda a disfrutar adecuadamente las melodias. El estilo del joven director A. Orozco-Estrada es bastante similar al del GRAN maestro Leonard Bernstein...
Extraordinary! Beautiful!
"In the presence of such genius, we must bow our heads in awe." I can't remember who said that about this symphony, but he was correct.
Brahms we love you ❤️❤️❤️
Marvelous orchestra. Wonderful conductor! Bravo!
amazing performance! Great! Thanks for sharing!
Ich höre keinen Applaus aus dem Publikum, du hast einen tollen Applaus von mir, perfekt, perfekte Leistung, Man sieht die Leidenschaft der Musiker , großartig, vielen Dank, meine Seele ist auf Wolke sieben.
I LOVE BRAHMS
With an exceptional composer, we shudder at each phrase. With Brahms, we shudder before each phrase
One of the best versions I've ever heard, & I've heard many. Love the tempo.
It is so beautiful played, I really love it ♡
Superb performance of this masterpiece. ❤️
La genialidad de Brahms en su máxima obra. Condensa su maestría en esta gigante sinfonía. Grandes músicos y dirección. Gracias por esta oportunidad que nos da este medio.
It's perfectly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Sehr schön. Brahms geht immer. Vor allem die vierte.
Magnífico Concierto ! Muchas gracias hr-Sinfonieorchester. Y obviamente me sumo con aplausos.
I know I'm in the minority here, but it is the 2nd movement which I've always found one of the most glorious sections of all Brahms music. Clearly expresses the intense turmoil, the calming peace, as said, the sturm und drang and the final rapture into otherworldliness. This conductor and orchestra are top notch, but it's an old prejudice of miine that no great conductor should need the score in front of him of any of the truly great masterpieces of the classical repetoire, and this is obviosly one of them.
너무 아름답습니다
좋은 음악 감사합니다♡
Huge plaudits to the Frankfurt Radio Sinfonieorchester and maestro Andrés Orozco-Estrada!
Beats me how the good citizens of Frankfurt can experience this music without tears of delight and bitter-sweet romantic tragedy cascading down their faces; or springing to their feet from the animating yet austere power of Brahms' romantic-classicism! From bar to bar I have to shout out "that is amazing, who could even imagine writing that!"
There is indeed just such a titanic and propulsive power expressed in Brahms goddess-like constructive and analytical skills, in writing this astonishing masterpiece.
At one level, it is explicable as a very Latin, very Spanish-Italian descent to repeating complex dance rhythms. But there is a lot more going on.
Firstly, part of this propulsiveness is also captured by the observation - often applied to his symphonic writing - that there is no useful distinction between (i) the musical-sensuous-emotional-phenomenological ideas, and (ii) the melodic and harmonic lines and the orchestration used to express the ideas. The orchestral and instrumental expression seems the perfect and inalienable embodiment of these ideas.
Secondly, the intoxication - part caressingly sensuous, part eerie and mysterious - that swirls within much of the melody is beyond fascinating. It is like hearing the most profundo discussion of the most extraordinary feelings ever to occur on the planet.
Thirdly, especially in the closing recapitulation and coda of the first movement, ones psyche feels as if one has been snatched up like a puppet, and made to advance and gesture and articulate all ones being at the command of something very elemental and irresistible.
Indeed, it might be well said that Brahms has given musical form to extremely archetypal and foundational energies plucked by his genius directly from our collective unconsciousness. Hence their controlling ceaseless energy, completely overriding our standard ego-perspectives and our sense of will-power, of free-will and self-direction.
Fourthly, as perfectly executed in the slow movement, the endless emergence of heart-warming and heart-breaking romantic and bitter-sweat melodies, to rival anything by Dvorak or Wagner or Debussy (see jokes about the flautist below) is again beyond comprehension. All offered with the deftness, and the gorgeousness of some mistress-divine poetess and impressionist painter and street violinist, their personalities and art all entwined.
The melody at 15:50 on richly divided and pizzicato strings across the orchestra with clarinets predominating - OMGoddess - it is something to make Wagner, working on the score of Tristan und Isolde, or the love duet between Brunhild and Siegfried, weep with envy! Only the erotic, sensuous, divine and Olympian psyches of Athena and Aphrodite combined could forge such "tone rows" and such harmonies!
This is the voice of the illimitably kind and loving goddesses of all the vastly wiser and more Feminine and womanly ancient world; and also the echoes of our own perfect nurture by our mothers; and our dreams of the same for our own lovers and children.
This is perhaps the musical expression of arguably the greatest archetype in all our collective consciousness - infinite engulfing transforming rhapsodic love, shown to everyone and everything. The transcendental explosion of sensuous eroticised ego-dismantling love!! This is what the Buddha and that Rabbi Jesus and Lord Krishna and Kali Ma and Gaia are forever advising us!
Indeed, the ability of Brahms to set out such melodies, simultaneously evocative of the deepest adult feelings of adoration and mutual surrender, yet also expressive of the seamless overwhelming love between a mother and her dearest most precious child, is both psychologically daring and yet completely without hint of any Mendelsohnian mawkishness.
I hadn't realised before just how much of Brahms ravishing romanticism is partly to be understood as "transfiguring adoration" in counterpoise to "regretful desolation" derived from what is lost forever. In her-his case most notably the death of his truly adored mother. The attempt to resurrect, by the shear power of utterly other-adoring love, what has slipped passed redemption and beyond all recall, from one fingers and into the swallowing and obscuring sands of time. That is such a soul-tearing sensation - "no greater sorrow than to remember happiness in the midst of despair".
It is something like standing and embracing ones most beloved soulmate (perhaps tow or three even) before the great figure of the Sphinx as the sun bursts over the Nile Valley, and simultaneously contemplating that the mightiest of Pharaohs are now just dust, as we all shall be ..... to radiate with delighted love, between each other, the supreme "ecstasy of being", in all its present vivacity, and yet to prefigure our termination by ravaging time!! It is a most sobering and maturing state of feeling, but I'm not sure our romantic hearts are built to contain for long that level of rending psychical tension and incongruent emotion! Absolute dispassionate objectivity and absolute furnace radiance of love between ourselves!
Brahms conveys all that in this symphony. S/he is without doubt one of the most psychologically and emotionally and philosophically grown-up composers!
Clearly the psyche and soul of a genius-woman stand intertwined within that notorious sarcasm and gruff scruffy coffee stained beard!
Love andrea
Brahms' work is very wonderful ❤️❤️
great reading, the sense of urgency and zest required.
Very good orchestra, I love this Brahms symphony no-4. I see the triangle but not hearing it.
GORGEOUS!
Fantastic performance of a colorful piece.
Beautifully played, beautifully conducted...Bravo!
The only recording I can find where the conductor takes absolutely no ritard at the end of the piece. For some reason not slowing down at all at the end instills a greater emotional reaction in me, although I have no idea why. Perhaps it's because a ritard impedes the forward motion of this tragic, bleak cadence. Anyway, I absolutely love it.
You are right, this is quick... I compared it to Haitink's version and I think the slower tempo suits me better... thanks for pointing out the difference.
A stupendous work this 4th symphony by Johannes Brahms. I really liked Orozco-Estrada's interpretation here as well. I seem to remember playing this in a youth orchestra when I was young, about 42 years ago, maybe I was in second violins ( I am a pianist ,but the violin was my second instrument at college). Anyway, I really enjoyed watching this fabulous performance a lot.
Maravillosa música, maravillosa interpretación.

Una obra inmortal del idem. Brams
A little while ago I started to watch and listen to the mighty Concertgebouw Orchestra play this symphony under the direction of the renowned Bernard Haitink. This performance is hands-down the better one. The dynamics are more subtle, the integration and balance of the orchestral sound are unmatched. It is as if Orozco-Estrada is playing a single magnificent instrument. I honestly have a difficult time imagining a better performance, even from George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra when they were among the very best on earth.
It's so good I watched the entire applause...
This is an excellent performance of my very favorite symphony. Orozco-Estrada strikes a perfect balance between the classical and the romantic elements of the score, clean and clear, but expressive and heartfelt. I continue to be impressed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony as featured on YT, and look forward to hearing more of their uploads. (One slight criticism however, not of the orchestra or conductor, but of the inability to hear the triangle in the third movement - bad microphone placement?)
ronald b woodall I couldn't hear the triangle and yet it's reasonably audible if you don't use headphones. I have no idea why that should be.
I read your comment. I made a point to listen carefully for the triangle and I heard it loud and crystal clear. I do use headphones. It is possible though that there are parts of the piece where the triangle is meant to shine but doesn't.
agree
At my age I don't expect to hear triangles very clearly, so your comment came as a bit of comfort here :-)
You're right.
At 25:19 I could see the triangle man making his best with great effort but it was almost inaudible.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! now i'm waiting for the symphony no.3-Brahms :D
Looks like estrada never recorded brahms symphony 3 with this orchestra. I keep requesting it from hr-sym but they never answer!
