It's a joy to see these videos of orchestral performances by the Frankfurt RSO. They are well recorded and the video production is excellent. Frankly, I find the critical remarks regarding the acoustics, the conducting, the spacing of the musicians, the tempi being too relaxed, etc., etc., to be churlish. Folks, a reminder: these videos are free. Hats off to the Frankfurt RSO for making them available. They are a welcome relief from the hardships caused by the COVID pandemic.
I agree, @allegro brio. Very generous of Frankfurt RSO for providing these. What is the concertmeister's name? I've heard of the maestra and the lead flautist, but I don't know the concertmeister's name. He's excellent, IMO (love his leadership on Shostakovich's 7th with Klaus Makela).
@@davidjared3402 The concertmaster's name is Ulrich Edelmann. www.hr-sinfonieorchester.de/orchester/musiker/orchestermitglieder/ulrich-edelmann,violine-100.html
(from Maryland) A very fine and illuminating performance. I can't be the only person who has appreciated being able to hear the winds (and even the tympani) so much better with the reduced orchestra size. Particularly given that Prokofiev was deliberately referring to the classical era, the reduced orchestral size is entirely appropriate.
No, you weren't the only person to notice that. I don't think I've ever heard the inner voices so clearly rendered as they were in this performance. Whether or not it was the "social distancing" or the musicality of the performers that helped create this clarity doesn't really matter. It was a joy to listen to.
Absolutely. Prokofiev's counterpoint is brilliant, and it's a joy to hear it so clearly from these talented musicians. I think the recording engineers deserve some credit too for the crystal clear quality of the sound, and well chosen video selection. Bravo, and thanks to all for this super video.
This is my first time listening to Prokofiev symphony no 1 and I think this is officially my favourite. It's very light-hearted and uplifting. I wish Prokofiev composed it longer. 💛
Its sparkling, spritely character is what makes it so charming. Why toy with perfection? [So you don't think I'm advertising carbonated beverages, a sprite is a playful little fairy. Not a big, tedious or overwhelming being.]
This is SO Perfect. I re-view & listen it, again and again. The camera work alone, grand enough .. 🎉. But the whole Thing . .. Sonic virtuosity, Best of Best of Frankfurt SO Personnel... 🎉🎉🎉. I'm an absolute devoted Shostakovich/Mahler fan 🪭 shamanic, but this is one of Sergei Prokofiev's special insights... ok.. a spectacular violin 🎻 concerto.. Pitor & Wulf.. Symphony Number 5.. . 😂🎉
I have been to a concert for a long since the pandemic. These from Frankfurt RSO are such a great fulfillment in the times of need! Thank you for the great perfromance and high quality recording.
Oh me, fantastic. I love the music of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, I've even studied some of their piano music (to a point) and I love working on it no matter how frustrating the challenges may be. Lovely performance.
The name really doesn't have any significance as far as duration is concerned - William Boyce wrote 8 'symphonies' most of which are less than 10 minutes long.
Eduardo Poblete de Chile, que belleza de sinfonía, un Prokofief que nos ilumina el pasado manteniendo la línea clásica, bella obra que la adoro, y se mantiene por mucho tiempo en la mente, ese segundo movimiento una belleza...gran directora Alondra....
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser pseudoklassischen doch perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und fast himmlisch. Die geniale Dirigentin leitet das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Orchester im rhythmischen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
This is Prokofiev's tribute to the classical composers of the 18th century. In fact the 4th movement is a perfect example of the structure known as 'sonata form' and was used as such by Bernstein back in the 60s in one of his wonderful children's music education programmes. I've never forgotten that!
The passion, emotion and contradictions of Russia captured perfectly here by Prokofiev and, of course, by Tchaikovsky in the 1812 overture. Beautifully performed here, with verve and dynamism
Have the sound directors thought about putting some kind of sound screens in the hall? It's sounds really like in a church acousticswise and doesn't help the music. Unless this is left like this on purpose.
I love this piece. But with all performances I've watched so far there is always one thing that is wrong for me: the gaps between the movements are way too long. It is one piece of meat, not four schnitzels.
This is a beautiful piece, and all gratitude to the orchestra, but as a note to the recording technicians: the stereo separation is *way* too strong. Both ears would be hearing the string section or clarinet in person, not one in the left ear, one in the right, with barely any crossover. It makes this very weird to listen to with headphones.
I think I prefer the way she conducts in this another video with Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Alodra was amazing! Check this out: ruclips.net/video/6JXmpU35n14/видео.html

This was my first introduction to Prokofiev on vinyl (I'm old) and still is one of my favorite works of his.

They take slower tempos than many. I love the sense of orderliness and structure this engenders!
I remember her as conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra years ago? She was an absolute delight to watch !!!
I LOVE her expressive conducting! Inspiring to players and audience! Lovely presentation by the orchestra!!!

This is one of Prokofiev’s most elusive pieces and it needs to be performed more often 💯

Such exuberance - communicated so beautifully by Alondra de la Parra!
A real workout for flutes in the final movement (Clara Andrada de la Calle - principal) . Superb playing.

Love the 4th movement. Woodwinds and strings are calling each other like... yes, larks! :-)) I enjoyed every note.
Always a highlight in covid times

Como siempre gracias a los musicos , ls condutora y a la radio de frankfort
Carlos, desde Oporto. Magnífica versión de la divertida sinfonía de Prokofiev. Felicidades, Alondra!.
I never realised the Symphony was this short.
Yes, it must be the shortest symphony there is, among those by the great composers.
@@Milordvega early Symponies by Haydn and Mozart were that short too ;D
@@sascharosenbach9863 No wonder they composed up to 40 or more

The slower tempo reminds me of Celibidache!! Lovely!
Yes!!!!! We hear every small detail, those which unfortunately get shredded if the ego of the conductors requires an unplayable, rushing tempo😂
wtf this is like sprint
@@Lilaliba88 like it is sadly in this case… not as much as by others… still way too fast
Excelente selección para escuchar, gracias.
reminds me of Celibidache's version with Munich Philharmonic
Fantastic. The Dirigent is amazing.

For the sound quality this "corona orchestra setup" maybe quite ok - more air between the performers.
I love this piece. But with all performances I've watched so far there is always one thing that is wrong for me: the gaps between the movements are way too long. It is one piece of meat, not four schnitzels.

A little too relaxed. You can hear them almost run out of steam at the ends of some phrases. The last movement saves it, however.
It is a very average orchestra with a very (sadly) average conductor, having taken her place for political and social reasons!
