Yes, let's make this clear. This is Stanisław Skrowaczewski, and he is conducting this terrific orchestra in a beautiful performance when he is 90 years old. May God allow me to be this active when I am 60!
You've missed the point somewhat. The fact is that widely different interpretations are utterly valid, and are not to be dismissed out of hand. None are superior, only in the opinion of the listener. Shostakovich may have liked both of them....
When you ask that question, we are certain you have missed the point. You need to listen more, much much more, and come back to this questions, 10 years later. Btw, and if fast is what you want: ruclips.net/video/w91uc-eples/видео.html
RIP Stanisław Skrowaczewski. This man was/is THE reason Minnesota is a top center for classical music today, and even at age 90 he vigorously led the fight against a corrupt and broken board of corporate directors that nearly destroyed it all.
Agreed! He basically set the standard for the acoustics of Minnesota's great Orchestra Hall. And thankfully, the Orchestra's Board of Directors engaged Osmo Vaanska to lead the ensemble into the future.
You are 100% right. The younger generations of musicians must not forget the contribution of another inspired artist, Dimitri Mitropoulos,who came from Europe in 1939 and led the Min. S.orchestra until 1951. He gradually introduced in his concerts works of the modern repertoire, under the double role of piano-soloist & conductor. A few years later in N. York Phil.(1952-57), he was severely criticized for his choice to promote composers like G.Menotti or S.Barber.
Gosh, I'm so old, I remember the Neville Mariner days in the 1980s when he would get mad at the Minneapolis audience for having the sniffles during winter. Manny Laureano was the bomb on trumpet, could bang out a Haydn concerto with authority and style.
I think this is Shostakovich's masterpiece - perhaps one of the 20th century's greatest symphonies. Not a single note feels out of place - everything seems to add to the piece's tremendous power.
More telling about Shostakovich's œuvre than any single superlative statement like this is the fact that you can find similar comments on RUclips for any Shostakovich symphony in their respective videos.
52:16 I'm just gonna leave this time mark here because I'm totally in love with this part and until that gong comes powerfully with the DSCH motiv and thus making my legs weak, melting my popsicle and shaking my molecules to the next dimension.
This is one of my favorite orchestras in the world! Their performances never disappoint! Mr. Skrowaczewski has inspired me to continue conducting as long as I can still do it even though I have chronic health issues. Maybe I too can still be conducting at 90!
Ken, as a fellow conductor, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I too have some chronic health issues and Maestro Skrowaczewski has also inspired me to forge on. I dream of someday having the privilege of conducting this great orchestra. Also, this work of Shostakovich has a special place in my heart as I had a great uncle who was a Catholic Monsignor in what was then communist Czechoslovakia who came to visit us in 1968. The stories he told of the horrors of the Stalinist and Post-Stalinist eras behind the Iron Curtain were painful to hear. The secret police would from time to time arrest him, beat him up till he was black and blue, then release him back to his parish to let the people know "This is what happens to you if you defy the communist party". We tried to get him to defect and stay in the United States, but he wouldn't. His reason was that "His people there needed him". I am only sorry that he didn't live long enough to see the fall of the Iron Curtain. If I ever get to perform or record this work, I will dedicate it to his memory. With the risk of sounding like I am plugging my fledgling RUclips Channel (Which I guess I am) if you are so inclined visit it as some of my recordings and arrangements are posted there.
@@markemanuele1929 Thank you for this story. I have met many survivors of the Nazi horrors and there are millions of stories. Now we in the US are dealing with a national party who admire & want to emulate dictators like Victor Orbahn, Putin, & Bolsonaro. They celebrate violence and want to "ethnically cleanse" America. Their model is the mass genocide of the Native Americans, which started at the beginning of European settlement of America. And there are many who openly admire Hitler and support his goals.
I've never conducted, however, I have been composing my own classical peices for a while. It shocks me the skill of Shostakovich creating such symphonies while I struggle with a quartet. I will develop over the years and try to overcome that obstacle however.
@@markemanuele1929 I wish you the best of luck in pursuing your dream of conducting this orchestra! Also, I can relate to most of the things you have written about Iron Curtain times as I am from Poland. To young to witness it, fortunately. But old enough to hear all of the stories passed in my family first-hand And by the way, really great music on your channel
I was privileged to have seen this conductor many times as a resident of Minneapolis in the 60s when he was Music Director of what was then called the Minneapolis Symphony. . .He was a great Shostakovitch conductor then as well as later. One of my greatest musical memories is to have seen him conduct the Shostakovitch Violin Concerto No. 1 with David Oistrakh as soloist to whom that work was dedicated.
What a memory to treasure. My intro to Sibelius' violin concerto was through Oistakh, and, as I am a sucker for first loves, I will say that Hahn comes close.
The second movement and the finale are so incredibly glorious! I love the use of the DSCH towards the end. It's like Shostakovich was signing his letter to the listeners.
I am homeless in Seattle on this cold rainy day, I just wanted to listen to my favorite composer and a symphony I just learned about. Eventually I will play flute for tips to save up for a bus ticket down to my mom's
Shostakovich is a great composer, but in your present situation, you might want to be careful with the very strong negative energy that so often manifests in his work. Nietzsche said something along the lines of, when you're low listen to something high, and when you're high, listen to something low - in order to avoid going too far in either direction. Hope you're situation improves 😮💨
@darrinheaton2614 thank you for you careful consideration but generally speaking shostopopovich makes me happy because it reminds me of heavy metal adapted for orchestra
@@Knewflute I agree that much of his music can indeed have that chaotic metal quality to it...especially the 4th symphony. Even some of the String quartets have heavy metal moments - I'm thinking of the 12th string quartet specifically. You're right though; not all of his music embodies negative moods...he wrote a lot of incredibly catchy tunes, with really positive energy.
This music is more relevant than ever in our 21st century. When I listen to this music, I weep at the deaths of so many thousands upon thousands of people who would have done something meaningful for themselves and others in their lives that they were no longer allowed to do. Weapons, weapons , weapons, and even more weapon. The the majority of heads of states are insane.
I was 12 when the maestro came to Minneapolis from Communist 5:34 Poland. In his mid thirties, He conducted with deep conviction. His concerts were a religious experience. God blessed him in the mystical adoration of music and the Lord. RIP
Whether composed before or after the death or Stalin, the concluding statement of "DSCH" is clearly Shos saying "I'm here!! And You can't shut me up!!!" What a piece!!
What a great conductor. He lived through the Stalinist and post Stalinist horrors in Poland and obviously finds Shostakovitch an empathetic soul. What a pleasure to share this. Though this symphony is about the opposite of pleasure. Thank you Stanislaw!
Désolé de vous contredire, mais il n'a pas subi les horreurs du stalinisme comme le commun des Polonais puisqu'il vécu pratiquement toute sa vie hors de la Pologne afin de pouvoir mettre ses qualités en valeur, ce qui n'était pas réalisable en restant dans son pays.
@@edouardbazior5747 Ce n'est pas vrai. Stanisław Skrowaczewski lived in Poland under Stalin regime, during stalinisme he was eg. a director of the Silesian Philharmonic in Katowice (1949-1953), he started leave Poland for concerts (and subsequently forever) just after 1956 and Chruszczow's report, so criticial for Stalin. Additionally, Skrowaczewski lost his home much earlier, when Stalin incorporated his small homeland (Lwów) to Soviet Union, firstly 1939, and finally in 1945, when almost all Poles, including Skrowaczewski, were deported from the city.
The conductor is great, and he created a world miracle that so comprehensive and difficult work of Schostakowitsch was performed by a 90 year old conductor.
The fascination that emanates from Shosta's music is not immediately apparent to everyone. Those who want to understand him politically escape the fact that here a highly sensitive and fine person has tried to portray his situation and that of his people. Of course, clever moves to irritate those in power served this purpose, but for me Shostakovich himself is always at the centre of his music and makes this person extremely tangible for me. I understand his longings, his fears and his humour. And in the 15th symphony, all this is finally resolved in a strange and enchanting relaxation.
This orchestra always leaves me with a full heart! And Maestro Skrowaczewski! Who else to conduct this monumental symphony, which one is led to believe was composed as an epitaph to the Stalin era, than someone who escaped from that nightmare. Bravo all!
Awesome Symphony, love it... and I can't believe Skrowaczewski!! The passion-- especially the second intense movt where he moves into it with gusto that some 20-year-olds can't even muster. Amazing performance by all of a masterpiece by the genius Shostakovitch.
I met Skrowaczewski when he visited Chile, my country of origin where he conducted one of his own works, This was my introduction to contemporary music and what an introduction it was. Thanks so much!
This performance and applause are heartfelt. The audience and orchestra simply love him (Skrowaczewski.) So very nice to see the adulation for his decades of conducting.
Wonderful. Skrowaczewski is amazing.I am so glad these performances are available which show such grit and determination to give a great occasion.Makes me wonder why Britain has not had the opportunity to see Stanni more open in previous years.I hope the Bruckner 5 with the LPO will be preserved.
As a poor student, sometime in the 1980's I travelled from Cardiff to Manchester to see this man conduct Bruckner 7th in the Free Trade Hall. Magnificent.
Stan recorded this symphony with the Halle Orchestra, when he was their Music Director, he excelled in Russian music. The recording he made has so much energy, and brilliantly recorded in Bolton. The orchestra gave him the nickname "Stan the Man", because a lot of Mancunians couldn`t pronounce his name. The Halle gave some wonderful concerts under his direction, and I were there to hear most of them, and one occasion, his own "Concerto for Orchestra". An incredible man, when there was a World crisis and travel was prohibited, due to a volcano eruption, he travelled overland from Europe to Manchester to fulfill his commitment to the Halle, arriving on the day of the concert, (I think it took him a 2 day journey), he rehearsed them in the afternoon, and gave the concert in the evening, remarkable for a man of advancing years. I have always had the utmost respect for Stan..and to see this video of him conducting this symphony, which I am sure he gave with the Halle Orchestra, is a wonderful memory of seeing him in Manchester all those years ago. I am going to a concert on Saturday, to hear this symphony, by my local orchestra, and they have worked with many conductors, who went on to great things, and this has made the Stockport Symphony Orchestra, a force to be reckoned with..thank you for bringing back some wonderful from many years ago. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392556986767?_skw=shostakovich+halle&epid=1005465774&itmmeta=01JJW683AYE3EA23GGTFJ8YD5C&hash=item5b6638418f:g:o9sAAOSwgMpkoEQb&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl%2By9IBSC0XvNLK3k%2FTsvzxllU6rJCZ0upkybQbJ%2FFD3IV2I5Jf8LoUuZbnde5b%2F%2BTZBte2qVqvjnAXf7vcycQsLz%2Bcja4m1gpROvQw43Lvid99SHEryrJMk9LDUYk15pLEhXM1PPHwXC6I%2F0RpWdBBDGi9%2FjMDoLhD7nc09737MfVDAImp2FVgpKGGuQ7HmF4j8NZWuHbG8QUXumJ6%2B33ah6vvXLIFFYIaUvybLXEtAWmGRKSLw2kxC8R%2FBtGJUwo8GKtqCyn2%2BlIGamUY8sZmWv3Kg0lfGrJVyUGKn7XRjA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9C1oIaXZQ
Shostakovich symphony 10 is in the top 20 of all time as considered by music critics. It truly is an incredible composition with genius and flare. It can resonate you and excite you and a few minutes later put you to sleep. It's a masterpiece in affecting the human condition in many ways. You could spend 10 years studying every element of this symphony. No doubt the conductor has a long history with this composition and knows every single note by every single instrument and how the composer intended it to be interpreted. It's just simply amazing.
I always click the dislike button even tho I actually like the performance just because I love riling the nincompoops who get all bent out of shape and make feckless comments about how could somebody possibly click the dislike button.
I remain in awe of the wonderful recordings of the hr-Sinfonieorchester that I have been introduced to recently, courtesy of RUclips. This is another top notch, grand performance of core repertoire. Thank you for sharing.
Magnífico! Emocionante. Maestro !!!por los comentarios eh leído que ha partido! Pero que tesoro nos ha dejado. Que placer encontrar a estos maestros y su arte!!!! Un placer terrenal. 🙏⚘⚘⚘⚘ gracias!
The Symphony No. 10 in E minor (Op. 93) by Dmitri Shostakovich was premiered by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky on 17 December 1953, following the death of Joseph Stalin in March of that year. It is not clear when it was written: according to the composer's letters composition was between July and October 1953, but Tatiana Nikolayeva stated that it was completed in 1951. Sketches for some of the material date from 1946. (For further information see WIKIPEDIA) I. Moderato 00:00 ∙II. Allegro ∙ 25:14 III. Allegretto ∙ 30:15 IV. Andante - Allegro 42:59
Stasiu ,,,,,,,,mega ,,,,,,dla mnie to kazdy dyryget ktory potrafi poukladac muzykow tak aby brzmialo to na Schostakowitscha jest geniuszem,,,,a ty jednym z nich ,,,,,,i wlieki applaus dla HR-Orchester
Me asombra/conmueve esta versión de Skrowacwzeski, a sus 90 años, sin olvidar las de Mravinski, que solia visitar el viejo Teatro Real de Madrid, lugar donde A. Previn ofreció esta misma sinfonía con la Filarmónica de Lon Ángeles, si mi memoria no me falla...
This is a great performance of a great symphony by a great conductor and orchestra. Superlatives could abound, and they do in the other comments here. Enough said!
When I played this at my University the subito piano around 3:10 gave me chills EVERY TIME. It's an underestimated moment. I feel like it really gets things rolling, no going back after that.
Skrowaczewski was born in the same city I was born,beautiful Lvov, Polish at the time of his birth, Russian at the time of mine. He defected Poland in 1960 to conduct in America. A wonderful performance of Shostakovich's great symphony.
I am not to familiar with Shostakovich's works (a typical Rachmaninoff guy) however this symphony is wicked. I love the second part. He must have been a genius.
Absolutely My favorite performance of this Symphony written by a composer who was in the "prison" of Stalinism, Conducted by a Maestro who lived in that same "prison". While studying the life and music of Shostakovich, I learned that if it were not for the irony of the KGB agent who was supposed to arrest Dimitri Shostakovich being arrested himself, Shostakovich's later symphonies, including this great work, would probably never have been written. Thank God THAT never happened!
@@luden6794 Я буду записывать эту работу с Симфонией Радио Омега в следующем году и посвящу запись памяти моего двоюродного дядюшки, монсеньора Эндрю Маринко, который пострадал при тех же сталинских и постсталинских режимах в Чехословакии.

I wonder if Stalin never existed if his music would be so evocative and powerful. I am sure the technical prowess would still be present, but the heart wrenching pain would be gone.
The Great Russian Composer - creating under the Stalin tyrany, played by eine wunderbar Deutsche Orchester (children or maybe rather grandchildren of the "thousandyearlich" Nazi Third Reich, let it be cursed for ever, but never forgotten - even in thousand years..) & conduncted by one of the Greatest Conductors this world had - Stanisław Skrowaczewski, son of my beloved Homeland Poland, which got so many wounds first from Hitler's Germany and then from Soviet Evil Empire.... I hope you forgive me this pompous tone - but Schostakovitch 10th is also full of pathos, isn't it? - and let me end like this: from such a unique bouquet of spiritual elements being put into a shaker, there was no other way - it must have become a master performance... ;) Niech Pan spoczywa w Spokoju Wiecznym, Maestro Stanisławie. Dziękujemy Bogu, że mogliśmy doświadczyć na tym łez padole, jak dzielił się Pan z innymi swoim wielkim Talentem. A w przeddzień święta 100-lecia Odzyskanie przez Polskę Niepodległości dodam: i jak sławił Pan, za sprawą swego Patrona Świętego Stanisława, także imię swojej Ojczyzny.
Die Streicher klingen wie Balsam. Ich liebe die Zehnte, aber ich habe die Violinen im ersten Satz selten so sehnend und fast schon stumm schreiend gehört. Eine Zartheit, die völlig unsentimental ist, aber berührend. Das muss man erst mal spielen können. Als Berliner bin ich, was Orchester angeht, natürlich auch verwöhnt, aber die hr-Sinfonie dürfte gerne mal in die Philharmonie kommen. Ich wäre auf jeden Fall da 🙂

Wonderful, wunderbar, wspaniale Thank You Maestro Skrowaczewski
I ADORE THIS SYMPHONY OMG
For me, this is one of the prettiest Sinfonie's I've ever had the pleasure to hear, such power, such tension, such beauty...
great great great performance of this essential sinfonie!
Amazing! What an incredible performance from an incredible orchestra. Bravo!!
Wonderful. Skrowaczewski is amazing.I am so glad these performances are available which show such grit and determination to give a great occasion.Makes me wonder why Britain has not had the opportunity to see Stanni more open in previous years.I hope the Bruckner 5 with the LPO will be preserved.
Oh my gosh. Just brilliant interpretation. Well done!!!
Totally agree!
As a poor student, sometime in the 1980's I travelled from Cardiff to Manchester to see this man conduct Bruckner 7th in the Free Trade Hall. Magnificent.
Das ist unglaublich !!!
Stan recorded this symphony with the Halle Orchestra, when he was their Music Director, he excelled in Russian music.
The recording he made has so much energy, and brilliantly recorded in Bolton. The orchestra gave him the nickname "Stan the Man", because a lot of Mancunians couldn`t pronounce his name.
The Halle gave some wonderful concerts under his direction, and I were there to hear most of them, and one occasion, his own "Concerto for Orchestra".
An incredible man, when there was a World crisis and travel was prohibited, due to a volcano eruption, he travelled overland from Europe to Manchester to fulfill his commitment to the Halle, arriving on the day of the concert, (I think it took him a 2 day journey), he rehearsed them in the afternoon, and gave the concert in the evening, remarkable for a man of advancing years.
I have always had the utmost respect for Stan..and to see this video of him conducting this symphony, which I am sure he gave with the Halle Orchestra, is a wonderful memory of seeing him in Manchester all those years ago. I am going to a concert on Saturday, to hear this symphony, by my local orchestra, and they have worked with many conductors, who went on to great things, and this has made the Stockport Symphony Orchestra, a force to be reckoned with..thank you for bringing back some wonderful from many years ago.

Shostakovich symphony 10 is in the top 20 of all time as considered by music critics. It truly is an incredible composition with genius and flare. It can resonate you and excite you and a few minutes later put you to sleep. It's a masterpiece in affecting the human condition in many ways. You could spend 10 years studying every element of this symphony. No doubt the conductor has a long history with this composition and knows every single note by every single instrument and how the composer intended it to be interpreted. It's just simply amazing.
It is beyond me that ANYONE could dislike this performance!!!! How could there POSSIBLY be 64 (as of today 12-17-2020) dislikes of this ????????
I always click the dislike button even tho I actually like the performance just because I love riling the nincompoops who get all bent out of shape and make feckless comments about how could somebody possibly click the dislike button.
@@yowzephyr you're so rebelious and radical
People with big fingers hit dislike on accident! 👆
relax. it doesn't mean anything.
Stalinists didnt liked it
Fantastic! What a fine performance.
I remain in awe of the wonderful recordings of the hr-Sinfonieorchester that I have been introduced to recently, courtesy of RUclips. This is another top notch, grand performance of core repertoire. Thank you for sharing.
Im stand and aplaud. With 90 years old and conducting with such level that symphony, W-O-W.
Magnífico! Emocionante. Maestro !!!por los comentarios eh leído que ha partido! Pero que tesoro nos ha dejado. Que placer encontrar a estos maestros y su arte!!!! Un placer terrenal. 🙏⚘⚘⚘⚘ gracias!
The Symphony No. 10 in E minor (Op. 93) by Dmitri Shostakovich was premiered by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky on 17 December 1953, following the death of Joseph Stalin in March of that year. It is not clear when it was written: according to the composer's letters composition was between July and October 1953, but Tatiana Nikolayeva stated that it was completed in 1951. Sketches for some of the material date from 1946. (For further information see WIKIPEDIA)

Stasiu ,,,,,,,,mega ,,,,,,dla mnie to kazdy dyryget ktory potrafi poukladac muzykow tak aby brzmialo to na Schostakowitscha jest geniuszem,,,,a ty jednym z nich ,,,,,,i wlieki applaus dla HR-Orchester
This is what you present to your friends when they say classical music is relaxing and boring.
Very good idea, but they'd tune out and leave after one minute, probably. Nothing in popular music prepares one for this high genius.
@@harryhagan5937 I told my mom I would play a classical peice on the radio and she said I had only 2 minutes 😂😂
The allegro is so powerful, I love it!
Omg those sparkling winds in second moment. Golden sound.
Надо же! Переслушал в наушниках и обалдел. Играют замечательно!
Incredible conductor, amazing piece even if on U Tube. I am not a muscian but I love this.
An absolute masterpiece! What a performance!
Me asombra/conmueve esta versión de Skrowacwzeski, a sus 90 años, sin olvidar las de Mravinski, que solia visitar el viejo Teatro Real de Madrid, lugar donde A. Previn ofreció esta misma sinfonía con la Filarmónica de Lon Ángeles, si mi memoria no me falla...
Mercije joins mes applaudissements a ceux qui sur place ont présentéutel concert c est vraiment excellent. Merci b ien
Amazing performance, but so sad that part in the fourth movement where the winds got lost, almost perfect. Still, indeed, a majestic performance.
Agradezco, por el trabajo de compartir tan excelente video! 👌🙏
There is only one word for this: astounding!
This is a great performance of a great symphony by a great conductor and orchestra. Superlatives could abound, and they do in the other comments here. Enough said!
This is simply amazing.
I woke up this morning with the ending of this symphony in mind, for some reason. (It happened again 5 months later)
Grande, Grande.
gracias por el aporte.
Si no fuera por esta vez nunca podría oírlo en mi vida, gracias ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😅😅
When I played this at my University the subito piano around 3:10 gave me chills EVERY TIME. It's an underestimated moment. I feel like it really gets things rolling, no going back after that.
Amazing music and perfomance! Bravi!
Уважение мастеру Stanisław Skrowaczewski
Skrowaczewski was born in the same city I was born,beautiful Lvov, Polish at the time of his birth, Russian at the time of mine. He defected Poland in 1960 to conduct in America.
A wonderful performance of Shostakovich's great symphony.
He was 89 years old. Amazing!
I am not to familiar with Shostakovich's works (a typical Rachmaninoff guy) however this symphony is wicked. I love the second part. He must have been a genius.
Mir gefällt diese objektive Leistung ohne überflüssige Leidenschaft.

The 1st horn player is so good. That's not as easy as he makes it seem.
WOW IMPRESIONANTE!!!!! GRANDE!!!
Шикарный дирижер!
EXCELENTE!
Чудесное исполнение!
Qué sinfonía y qué versión del nonagenario director. Una maravilla de vitalidad y expresividad
Absolutely My favorite performance of this Symphony written by a composer who was in the "prison" of Stalinism, Conducted by a Maestro who lived in that same "prison". While studying the life and music of Shostakovich, I learned that if it were not for the irony of the KGB agent who was supposed to arrest Dimitri Shostakovich being arrested himself, Shostakovich's later symphonies, including this great work, would probably never have been written. Thank God THAT never happened!
Привет из России. Вы абсолютно правы
@@luden6794 Я буду записывать эту работу с Симфонией Радио Омега в следующем году и посвящу запись памяти моего двоюродного дядюшки, монсеньора Эндрю Маринко, который пострадал при тех же сталинских и постсталинских режимах в Чехословакии. Подпишитесь на мой канал на RUclips, так как он будет там размещен, когда запись будет выпущена.
I will be recording this work with The Omega Radio Symphony next year and will be dedicating the recording to the memory of my great uncle Monsignor Andrew Marinko, who suffered under the same Stalinist and Post-Stalinist regimes in Czechoslovakia. Subscribe to my RUclips Channel as it will be posted there when the recording is released.

I wonder if Stalin never existed if his music would be so evocative and powerful. I am sure the technical prowess would still be present, but the heart wrenching pain would be gone.

R.I.P. Great Maestro
Rest in peace, maestro.
The Great Russian Composer - creating under the Stalin tyrany, played by eine wunderbar Deutsche Orchester (children or maybe rather grandchildren of the "thousandyearlich" Nazi Third Reich, let it be cursed for ever, but never forgotten - even in thousand years..) & conduncted by one of the Greatest Conductors this world had - Stanisław Skrowaczewski, son of my beloved Homeland Poland, which got so many wounds first from Hitler's Germany and then from Soviet Evil Empire.... I hope you forgive me this pompous tone - but Schostakovitch 10th is also full of pathos, isn't it? - and let me end like this: from such a unique bouquet of spiritual elements being put into a shaker, there was no other way - it must have become a master performance... ;)
Niech Pan spoczywa w Spokoju Wiecznym, Maestro Stanisławie. Dziękujemy Bogu, że mogliśmy doświadczyć na tym łez padole, jak dzielił się Pan z innymi swoim wielkim Talentem. A w przeddzień święta 100-lecia Odzyskanie przez Polskę Niepodległości dodam: i jak sławił Pan, za sprawą swego Patrona Świętego Stanisława, także imię swojej Ojczyzny.
Magnificent!!!
Bravo!!!!!!
Truly
Wonderful!

Die Streicher klingen wie Balsam. Ich liebe die Zehnte, aber ich habe die Violinen im ersten Satz selten so sehnend und fast schon stumm schreiend gehört. Eine Zartheit, die völlig unsentimental ist, aber berührend. Das muss man erst mal spielen können. Als Berliner bin ich, was Orchester angeht, natürlich auch verwöhnt, aber die hr-Sinfonie dürfte gerne mal in die Philharmonie kommen. Ich wäre auf jeden Fall da 🙂
Bravo.
