Bernstein on Brahms: Crème de la crème. Along with Kempe, Klemperer and Janssons, always sheer quality of music practiced at its peak. Forever favorite of mine.
Great interpretation.Brahms orchestrates in a rather massive and thick way. A genius conductor such as Bernstein is needed to make that orchestra attractive. Such is the cas here.
Someone asked a French conductor why some people don't like Brahms and he replied, "Sometimes, he does not swim." So...Beethoven with a limp, maybe? Anyway, those "awkward" rhythms (esp. about 4:45 into the video) work brilliantly here--the sounds of a blinded titan staggering through a bleak cosmos (probably saying to himself "If I can't have Clara Schumann, why go on living?"
The fact is that Brahms, like Schumann, orchestrates often in a very thick way. This does not prevent their music from being fabulous, like here in this tragic Overture.
@@ExVeritateLibertas If I say that there can be several reasons why some people are not 100% enamoured of such and such a composer I expect that makes me a troll. But look. I love, really love, nearly all of Brahms's chamber music. I think his orchestral music has its great moments too. Must I adore unconditionally everything about Brahms? Does that mean I am lacking in good taste? People like you might profitably moderate your language. I disagree somewhat with what Gerard Bregni says above about Schumann. I suppose you think he simply has no taste. Either that or he is deaf. Is that so? Or would I be putting words into your mouth? "That is the only possible answer" my arse. If that isn't too rude.
I think much Brahms is about the tragedy of unrequited love, written by someone with deep appreciation for beauty he can only admire from a distance, and some amount of frustration at that state of affairs. Performers who fail to understand that may have a hard time bringing the music across as effectively, leaving audiences confused as to what the fuss is about. (Of course that doesn’t explain why Klemperer, the anti-romantic, also conducts Brahms so well. But Klemperer exudes granitic solidity, another quality that fits Brahms’s music well, and his apparent cynicism could also match well with Brahms’s feelings.)
Greg Guzman yes Maestro Bernstein with his interpretive skills has always left me only really wanting to listen to his direction of music he has spoilt me with his talented observations.
@@johndoe26625 omg. What kind of a stupid, bigoted comment is that? So suddenly every person who doesn’t speak the same language as you shouldn’t bother posting comments just because you won’t understand them? Your level of egotism is emetic. And, by the way, its Chinese and Korean respectively.
How so? (I haven’t watched the series yet.) Edit: oh I see! The quartet? I’m surprised they did that, an extended section of the quartet presented in excellent quality with no distractions, and when they finish, they talk about it (intelligently). I’m not sure I’ve seen any movies or tv give so much respect to classical music before, well done Marvel and Netflix. If you are liking what you hear, of Brahms check out: The symphonies. For 2-4 stick with this same conductor and orchestra (Bernstein/Vienna Philharmonic). Also for the gorgeous “Haydn” variations (though the theme it’s based on turns out not to have been written by Haydn after all, so it’s starting to be called the St Anthony Chorale). But for the 1st symphony, and the Academic Festival Overture, I prefer Otto Klemperer conducting The Philharmonia. Next is the German Requiem. For audio-only, Blomstedt conducting the San Francisco Symphony is fantastic. For video Zinman conducting the hr-sinfonieorchester (Frankfurt Radio Symphony) is great. It’s all fantastic, but if you don’t have time for the whole thing, scroll down to the comments to the one with the time stamps and skip to the 3rd movement (which is about 10 minutes long). There’s also the 2nd piano concerto (no specific recommendation). For chamber music, the quintets are if anything even better than the quartets. There are great versions of the piano quintet and G major/Opus 111 string quintet performed by Zukerman, Kavafian, Neubauer, and Hoffman. (Plus Phelps or Golub depending.) Then also the wonderful violin sonatas. Start with the 1st played by Perlman and Barenboim. And for something a little different from Brahms check out the waltzes and Hungarian dances. When you want another composer, check out Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Dvorak, and Tchaikovsky, for starters.
Among much beautiful music, this may be the most beautiful thing Brahms wrote.

I’m gonna argue that symphony no.4 is more beautiful and passionate 😊
Totally agree it’s his best piece for orchestra
@@kumo-kun1831 I agree, but I also believe Symphonies #2 and #3 are also more beautiful and passionate.
no comparison with the symphonies and violin concerto
Music of lasting beauty. One will never get enough of it.
Bernstein becomes the music, such genius in his interpretation of Brahms
Happy Birthday to Johannes Brahms REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Orchestra and conductor become one. Magnificent performance.
My favorite music. Amazing
Just heard this question on an old Jeopardy episode - making it tangible 🙌
I just listened to Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic. Very energetic.

Sure it will be the favorite song to me^^
@@랄라룰루-e5e Song no ..overture
This should be the incidental music to Shakespeare's King Lear. The music conveys a cosmic tragedy.
Beautiful work of art
You never go wrong with Lennie!
Simply amazing.
Stunning ... Thank you!
Me sumo a los aplausos !! Y muchas gracias.

Hear, hear!
Why do some not like Brahms? Because they are deaf and/or utterly without taste. No sense of beauty or greatness. That is the only possible answer.

Nice. I think Bernstein realized it was a bit too slow and sped it up second half.

playing the damn thing as 1st violin is tragic!
Why ?

There is a lack of sync between the audio & video which ruins what is a lovely interpretation. Tragic 😢
