If only there had been one camera following Pekkas face all the time, and showing in the corner his expressions and mimic conducting... what a joy, warmth, love, music... and it is reflected by the musicians in their fantastic presence and characters of this work. Love it!
Good evening! It's Thursday again this week - and it's officially midsummer in Korea/Seoul. I hope the rest of the week brings you good health and good things. And always cheering for your beautiful/fascinating activities. ^^
What a combination - one of the world's very finest chamber ensembles, paired with Kuusisto's musical inspiration. Flawless technique and that live performance atmosphere make this a performance that must be a bench-mark. Fabulous.
Grandios! Ein tolles Stück und ein phantastisches Orchester.👏👏👏 Besonders toll ist das Zusammenspiel und der Kontakt der Musiker untereinander, vor allem im letzten Satz der Konzertmeister mit der 1. Bratscherin. Ich liebe dieses Stück 😍🙃
That was truly amazing. Such sensitive playing, such togetherness ... it was a privilege to be able to watch, as well as listen to, these wonderfully talented musicians. The Holberg Suite will never be quite the same again to me! Heartfelt thanks to all involved in creating and uploading this beautiful video.
Superb playing from such great musicians. I especially love the relationship between the players the understanding & connection they clearly have adds that super polish on an already flawless performance
one of the best performances of the Holberg I've ever heard!! Bravo BRAVO An outstanding and completely uplifting performance I particularly loved the connection between the musicians 💖
Allt det som karaktäriserar NCO finns här: närheten, känsligheten, ögonkontakten, det intima samspelet. Så det är inte så förvånande att resultatet blir fantastiskt! Och så har ju alla norrmän Grieg i blodet, hoppas jag. Liksom en hel del av oss svenskar. Grattis till en hellyckad tolkning!
When every war is over, lucky survivors need to turn back to sing and party again, therefore let's skip wars and start to enjoy music happenings right away, fighting for peace is a much bigger battle over any war dispute, here it is our resistance friends, never stop believe in 🎉❤🎉
Absolutely amazing. The highest level of an artistic work. I remember one of the violinists conducting the orchestra for the Capriol suite, so great to see him and other musicians after several years. Very professional, but not only that, the joy you are manifesting makes it really extraordinary. Thank you su much!!!
Gorgeous. You all play with such total musicality and enjoyment. The sounds are ravishing,This is my favourite of Grieg's works. Such heartfelt sentiments-truly human.Thank you. :-)
Me encanta esta obra ( todos sus tiempos ) desde que yo era muy joven; y sinceramente es, de lejos, la mejor interpretación que he encontrado en RUclips! Felicitaciones desde España! 🌹
Ahhh, one of my favorite pieces for Chamber Orchestra. Except that last part where there is a Solo Violin and Solo Viola, I struggle with the Solo Viola part🤣! But, very well done NWO! Beautiful sound and crisp playing with harmonious dynamics to accompany the whole sound which produces an overall silk smooth sound. Veldig bra gjort!
Just WONDERFUL. Great recording . Beautifully controlled playing , faultless ensemble and superb interpretation of the wonderful music , the best I have ever heard.
An early instance of "neo-classicism". Stravinsky did much the same thing in his Pulcinella suite many years later, supposedly (but perhaps mistakenly) basing his music on that of Pergolesi. Indeed I wondered if the theme of the Praeludium was the same as one used by Stravinsky. Perhaps someone more expert can tell me? I think this is the best version on RUclips, the playing is impeccable and the recorded balance of the players rather better. For instance the first violins rather better heard than elsewhere. This piece doesn't require large forces. I've just been to a local concert where nine professional players (four violins, two violas, two cellos and one double bass) played it and it was a thoroughly musical and engaging experience. Someone mentions the iPad scores, great idea until they go wrong. At a recent concert series here, the first violin had to stop the music when this happened to her, and another malfunction caused one of New Zealand's finest pianists to have to restart the ensemble.;-((
The smiles on the musicians' faces are a clue to how much they love playing this music. What a warm and wonderful sound.

That glissando at 20:10 is fantastic. All in the orchestra smiles when Pekka Kuusisto is doing it! Friendship between Finland and Norway.
I actually felt that was really terrible. Terrible way to finish the piece of music. Sounded disgusting.
Good evening!
It's Thursday again this week - and it's officially midsummer in Korea/Seoul.

That viola section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise be!

Those face. Those movements . Those expression. Wish I was anywhere near them.

Upeeta!!! ❤
ｸﾞﾘｰｸﾞのホルベルク組曲ではｵﾙﾌｪｳｽ室内ｵｹの演奏を愛聴してましたが、今日からはこのﾉﾙｳｴｰ室内ｵｹの演奏が加わることになりました。素敵な演奏で、録音も優秀。
Most intimate version I've heard. Really nice. Beautiful clarity and spacing in the recording. Stunning.
Zum Weinen schön, herzlichen Dank 💕

Tusen takk for veldig hyggelige ord!
Ludvig Holberg is my ancestor. So this is special. Thank you.
"Sounds pretty good" 🤩🤩

Loved it even the, oops!, moment.
You mean, 1:08 to 1:18?
👏👏👏👏Wunderbar~~!!! 모든 연주가들이 음악을 즐기고 음들을 통해 얘기하고 있다 표현력과 생동감에 박수를👏👏
Very clear sounds and full of joy❤️
This is by far the best interpretation I’ve ever heard!! Happy to watch such a wonderful video. Thank you!

Simply sublime
This is the best recording of this work on RUclips 🔥
Wunderbar!!
👌👌👌

You dont need a huge orchestra to produce a magic sound
Vau!!!
Beautiful ❤ 😢😮❤
love the concertmaster!
superb!
Grieg, one of the Great Romantics , fantastic.❤👍
Hey! They’re good!!
wow
Its a crime to show the cellos doing um pa pa stuff when the violas have a solo passage😂. Lovely chamber orchestra.
Interesting in this modern age to see them reading the music off an iPad and changing the pages with their feet. Stunning music though.
Please l 😊
