Was so lucky to see this performed in LA around this time. This interpretation was looked on with great skepticism at the time as far too slow (if you can believe it). I think there were other reasons Lenny's detractors needed to make their objections known. At the performance I attended the auditorium had to be evacuated between the 2nd and 3rd movements due to a bomb threat! It's possible the rendition I witnessed contained a tad more vivace than at a usual performance.
How the end sounds and how Bernstein describes it traumatized me. He said, "And almost the last sounds you hear in this symphony are the dying echoes of the descending scale."
Bernstein viveva ogni movimento, ogni battitura, ogni tempo delle opere che dirigeva. Era un gigante. E Tchaikovsky? Fu il più grande poeta mai esistito su questa terra, poiché con la musica ha fatto altro, oltre la musica, forse persino più in là dei sentimenti umani: ha toccato l'assoluto, il proibito e inconcepibile baratro del Nulla, che riposa indisturbato oltre l'estasi e il sublime.
Tchaikovsky said there was a program to his Sixth Symphony but that he did not wish to reveal it. Whatever program it is that the first three movements communicate, this fourth movement seems to me like the foreboding and inevitability of the composer's death which occurred nine days after its premiere performance.
Just brilliant. In so many of the other versions of this scherzo on youtube, the orchestra has to hold on to dear life keeping themselves together enduring an overly rapid tempo throughout. At this slower tempo, Bernstein really lets the music sing out. The rallentando into the grand statement of the main theme at 7:13 and then the subsequent accelerando towards the coda that starts at 8:09 is like Russian Pomp & Circumstance.
Exactly. The march should never be so fast that a line of troops couldn't march to it! For some reason the ultra-fast tempo was the order of the day at that time, and this interpretation was sneered upon as outrageously eccentric.
The 3rd movement is so grand and joyous, and the ending is so triumphant, hence in many performances, a lot of people in the audience think that it is the end of the symphony, but alas it isn't. Hence, getting applause at the end of the 3rd movement is more often than not, the usual. The 4th movement is a lot more subdued, even melancholic, although still quite lovely. The ending is somewhat of a mystery to me. It descends into a quiet almost death-like ending. Very unusual. Perhaps it was fore-telling as it was Tchaikovsky's final masterpiece.
The march is grand, I’ll give you that, but it never sounded joyous to me. Not in the context of the symphony. Some performances emphasize that, but the best ones highlight the menacing nature of the march as it gets closer and closer and closer. When it arrives, the strings slash, the timpani assaults, the cymbals explode and the bass drum thumps like Death knocking at the door. If it’s joyous, it’s a joyous march that crushes everything in its path. What are we left with after this tour de force runs us over? Well, the Adagio lamentoso, the blackest music Tchaikovsky ever composed. The last music he would ever write.
i was supposed to perform this the week everything shut down from covid. watching bernstein conduct is absolutely mesmerizing and in a way makes up for the disappointment of not getting the chance to perform this :’)
The composer "wept bitterly". Russian people toiled greatly as he passed them during the wheat harvest in a train car. He could not known, in an earthly way, what was coming; WWI, Revolution and WWI. In 1919, Russia was a net exporter of wheat under Stolypin, prime minister. He was cut down at Opera and they have never been able to match this feat. May God bless Russia and the soul of this great work!
Wow I just came from the Karajan version. This is so much better. Karajan version is just angry, which I don't think it should be. Bernstein makes it delightful and jubilant.

At a rehearsal at Tanglewood, LB told the double-basses "It is the LAST sforzando of his life!
I was raised on this album. Thanks, Mom and Dad. <3

16:15 This passage is gorgeous and haunting. I don’t think Tchaikovsky could have done better.

It's fun to see Bernstein conducting with such vigor and vigor.😄
16:22 - Es este el profundo sueño del que Bécquer dice tal vez un día despiertes.
Thoroughly charming music for a waltz in 5/4 time.

One of the best conductors who ever lived.

its considered tradition to applaud after the end of the 3rd mvt.

Actually about half the audience was applauding.
어릴때 오케스트라에서 했던 곡이라 기억나서 들으러 왔는데 여전히 신나고 좋당
Bernstein is simply sublime
Definitely one of the gay-Master's failures. Too heavy, too self-concerned.

I meant to say "1909" not "1919". HBB

Yes, as a Scherzo which traditionally is the four movement symphony's 3rd movement.
Bravo!
