Der Rosenkavalier was the first opera I ever saw. I was 20 years old, an American exchange student in Rome. My date Geri and I rented clothes that no student would have in his and her wardrobes. This Strauss opera more than completed the magic of that evening, especially the waltz that was firmly implanted in our heads. Such a wonderful thing one can never forget.
Splendid is a weak word to define this rendition. It is absolutely extraordinary. One of the most forceful and contrasted ever. Thank you for the upload.
15:23 - 19:46 is my favourite part for sure. Such an accurate description (to me) of being madly in love. This will be one of those passages that will be with me throughout my life. X
I had to play this song in my college's symphony. I hated it until the person next to me said "just imagine in the beginning that a really dignified guy is really drunk but trying to stay dignified." now i love it!
How in the world could you ever hate this? The difficulty, I understand, but I hope not the music, because this some of the most beautiful music human ears will ever experience.
I had to play this at university too! I was on glockenspiel and my cue was the triangle. The triangle player got lost and I ALMOST missed my cue hahaha also the timpani part is haaaaaaard. X
I just performed this piece with the Idyllwild Chamber Festival under the baton of Larry Livingston in Walt Disney Concert Hall and at about 16:48 I was in tears in the midst of the performance, I was the assistant principal bassist at the festival. Truly a life changing experience.
R Strauss will never let you down and this is a very good performance indeed! You might like to listen to his Alpine symphony and his four last songs then you will be in for a very good nights entertainment.
I don't know know much about this type of music, though I love it, looking at the conductors of these performances, you can tell they really "feel" the music. Which is why this genre is so special.
Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier, Suite 00:06 - Ouverture (Overture, Act 1) 03:18 - Präsentation der Silbernen Rose (Presentation of the Silver Rose, Act 2) 10:06 - Walzer von Baron Ochs (Baron Ochs' Waltz, Act 2) 15:23 - Ist ein Traum (It's a dream, Act 3 ending) 21:19 - Schneller Walzer (Quick Waltz, Act 3) Listen to Andris Nelsons!
I do not know who arranged this suite but it was excellently done .Great for all the brass and wind instruments and played at a superb pace . especially the third act music .
That timp part in the ending waltz is sooooooo difficult but you can't even hear it. Pity I practiced it for so long but I don't care because I can sit back and listen to this heavenly piece of music!!!
+mizzothify mizzothifi I watched a lecture on Elektra in these pages recently that claimed "Ninety-nine out of a hundred instrumentalists" will tell us that Rosenkavalier is the most difficult piece they have to play; "the other one" will tell you it is Elektra. I recently glanced over the cello part of this Rosenkavalier Suite with a friend who is playing it in Buffalo this summer, and it gave me a headache just to view. Wonderfully, terribly difficult! And wonderful, of course.
Not this Strauss. It was Johann -- Some of his most famous works include "The Blue Danube", "Kaiser-Walzer" (Emperor Waltz), and "Tales from the Vienna Woods."
Я здесь волею судеб персонажей "Убийства Командора". У-вы, не первый. Но в какой-то мере льстит даже такой расклад, будто бы сам являюсь автором данной книги :-)
I wonder how many of those on the audience realise the the opening if this suite, also of the opera , depicts two lovers engaging in sexual intercourse.
Love me some R Strauss! That said, the 2nd violins' (and some of the violas) position in this orchestra means their f holes are not facing out towards the audience....why? Don't we want to hear them? Plus, they play little duet stuff with the 1st violins quite a bit, but they're all the way on the other side....I just don't get this seating.
This is the traditional German orchestra arrangement (which I prefer over the American one, because the 1st/2nd violins don't drown in a mud of sound in recordings).
The funny thing is, Der Rosenkavelier Suite was meant to be a comedy of a woman having an affair with a man that falls in love with a rude baron's fiancee then frames the baron and has him arrested so he can marry the ex-fiancee and leave the woman having an affair the the man because her husband went to war. So yep, although I second your notion :)
Sorry this performance is much too "muscular" and unthinking. That's not unusual at the Proms. There are so many versions of this music on RUclips, why put up with this bombast?
No It is perfect pace and strength .. restrained where it has to be and bumptious where it has to be ..Remember that the Baron is a very masculine type .
Johannes Brahms was long dead by the time Richard Strauss composed this or most of his great works. Richard Strauss is a far superior composer to the waltz spinner Johann.
As Gott die Musik erschuf muss ein besonderer Lichtstrahl auf Deutschland gefallen sein.
Bach,Händel,Beethoven,Brahms,Strauss,Wagner usw usw.....

It's taken me a long time to appreciate Richard Strauss. The performance is wonderful.
Hello ! It would be interesting to know why it took you a long time, as you say, to appreciate Richard Strauss. Please tell us ...
I am glad I am not the only one who cries (joyfully) when I hear this Would love to find a women who shared those moments
You're not alone, I've wanted the same for many years.
Still one of the most enjoyable experiences of this superb example of Richard Strauss musical genius.
Thanks to Haruki Murakami's Killing Commendatore for referencing this so much! Beautiful piece.
Murakami brought me here too
Me too
That's why I'm here too:) love the it!
Me too
:-) me too
Thank God there are people who still appreciate beauty.
And shining intelligence! all over the players......
@@willdon.1279 Amen
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE RECORDINGS OF THIS PIECE. I AM SO TOTALLY MOVED TO TEARS.. THIS IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME.
***** Yes, I totally agree!! Love Stauss
+Peter Olesnevich Yes! It brought tears to my eyes. What a perfect tribute to Strauss. It had everything!
Totalmente de acuerdo estimado Peter. Esta pieza musical es una de mis preferidas. Muy emotivo este performance.

Peter Olesnevich ...I’m all in. I know just what you mean.
Loved this performance! Photography was wonderful!
Quelle splendeur et quelle richesse !Merci pour tant de beautės!
Thank you mister Haruki Murakami for this wonderful gift❤
i feel like you should be thanking strauss instead.... :/
Samaritan No, Murakami is who to thank
Classical music...forever. A beautiful performance.
one of my favourite ever pieces
Seems that Strauss had an uncommon genius for evoking the sublime in his music. Time and again.
sublime magnifique un orchestre au point une prise de son parfaite, et le chef extra
If I leave this world listening to Der Rosenkavalier Suite, or the final Trio, I will leave a Happy Man! This music is my heaven.....

And Morgon... complete bliss. :-)
A most fabulously indelible performance. You've made my life richer Herr Strauss.
Ege Shegava I SO TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU....BRAVO
@Shegevara ...yes yes yes ...such a genius that Mr. Richard Strauss :-))
How a man can to imagine this music... this is the real but veiled dimension of reality.
Wonderful, very spirited performance!!

Love the French horns in this piece
The father of Richard Strauss was a famous horn player.
+Franziska Kreß
Principal horn at Munich King's Court Orchestra. Little Richard was very often at rehearsals of his father.
R. Strauß' horns are the absolute best.
Fun, glorious music and music-making by all!
Thank God I thank Germany for such an outstanding composer !!!

I believe Strauss put it together.
Beautiful moving music played beautifully. Besides stones, who could not be appreciative?

Lovely performance--and the first violinist is drop-dead gorgeous.
This is awesome!
I may be biased but the horns are brilliant in this.
Horns are generally brilliant...and I'm totally nor biased... ;)
@@DorEnErnil Richard Strauss' Father was a brillant horn player....
Realm una orquesta joven con un sonido deslumbrante,maravillosamente dirigida y con una realización soberbia
The awkward yet glorious sound or French Horn at the end. Elephants dancing.
It seems we are a long list of Murakami's readers! Good o know we have company.
holy shit...everybody in orchestra is so beautiful
Nobody:
That one guy in the audience at 23:20: AY!!!
Wondrous, uplifting.
Wow. The conductor doesn't even use a score. He has the whole piece memorized.
Played it yet again......glorious life enhancing music......wish we had more applause though, and band details - anyone? *****
Sublime!!
Merci à Murakami. Beautiful piece.
Lovely "over the top" waltzes., as only Richard Strauss could create them.
Which Strauss was the king of the Waltz? Richard. :p
Not this Strauss. It was Johann -- Some of his most famous works include "The Blue Danube", "Kaiser-Walzer" (Emperor Waltz), and "Tales from the Vienna Woods."
@@EASYTIGER10 No "Strauss", but a few "Straußes"... 😉

YES STRAUSS !!!
Love this piece !!!
My music teacher used to say "Strauss - orchestra in the palm of his hand"
Mahler souvenir at 9:50. Are there others?
+marshacd @ 4:24 Mahler 3
And check out Mahler 4 (42:33 of the Bernstein performance here on Y-T. ) What fun!
the harp part is a pain but very rewarding.
Maestro Gatti
22:10 what instrument is this
Mar K ratchet
Am I wrong, or is there a subtle glissando effect in the timpani around 22:28?
18:40 ....... LOVE!
I wonder how many of those on the audience realise the the opening if this suite, also of the opera , depicts two lovers engaging in sexual intercourse.
Also the beautiful opening of the waltz is actually a song of a 35-years old man trying to seduce a 15-years old girl.
who is the conductor?
Love me some R Strauss! That said, the 2nd violins' (and some of the violas) position in this orchestra means their f holes are not facing out towards the audience....why? Don't we want to hear them?

Marie Santoro i think because is the better. Wanderful music
there are parts that sound a bit tristan and isolde
als Münchner hätte man Strauss soviel Wiener Charme gar nicht zugetraut
How does he look?Like a butcher?How does a conductor look for you?Only like Karajan or Bernstein or Furtwängler or Toscanini or .....?
@Steven Moore Carlos then, lovely Carlos.
Saturday morming earwhig
No
Ok i understand.Maybe he doesn't like coattails or he has a coattail allergy.
Schubert unfinished
Brahms said, "If it's to be Richard, give me
Wagner. If it's Strauss, give me Johann". I agree
He was just jealous about Strauss huge success.. and you don't seem to understand music sorry hehe
Johannes Brahms was long dead by the time Richard Strauss composed this or most of his great works. Richard Strauss is a far superior composer to the waltz spinner Johann.
Can't be true and silly anyway.
Give me the all four.
This was weird.
I just wish the conductor would shout “expelliarmus”. Just once.
