Despite all the controversy about the worth of Bernstein's compositional output, this work is definitely going to be one of the enduring works of the choral repertory, because performers - especially the singers - are able to sense the deep feelings that Lenny was trying to convey. They will be singing this in 2075 (assuming anyone is still alive).

Sono estasiato!!!!

Excelente

Ahh isn’t this Shostakovich ? But living not under the Red Terror but the Red white and Blue terror ( which is no Terror at all)

隠れた名演。

One of the best Pettersson Symphonies after 5, 6 and 7!

Блестящий ансамбль! ❤🦄🗝️

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ Sound for NOW

What's all the fuss about? Bleak, yes... but this is great stuff.

Thanks for posting this! Mind only: it's written 'Penesroso', instead of 'Penseroso'. And also: 'du Dante' (instead of 'de Dante') is truer to the original. ☺

David Guion The Water Goblin Water goblin. Dvorak tone poems Image by Oberholster Venita from Pixabay A young girl decides to wash clothes in a lake where the Water Goblin lives, despite her mother’s warning. Just as she dips the first garment in the water, the bridge she stands on collapses. The Water Goblin captures her and forcefully marries her. She bears him a son, whom she loves, but after a year, begs to be able to visit her mother. The Goblin makes her promise not to take the baby with her and return to the lake before the Vespers bell. The mother, however, refuses to let her return to the lake. The enraged Goblin calls up a storm. When mother and daughter come out of the house, they find the child’s beheaded corpse. The Noon Witch The Noonday Witch gets her name from the fact that she is active only one hour per day, just before noon. A young mother, exasperated with her misbehaving son, threatens to call the Witch to come and get him. That threat is all the Witch needs to try to steal the boy. The mother fights valiantly and, as soon as the noon bell rings, the Witch leaves. The father comes home later that day and finds his wife and son unconscious. He manages to revive her, but she had so closely clutched her son that she had smothered him to death. The Golden Spinning Wheel Golden spinning wheel. Dvorak tone poems Marte Ødegaard via Flickr A young king meets a peasant girl, Dornička, at her spinning wheel and falls in love with her. When he returns to marry her, her stepmother murders and dismembers her and sends her own daughter to marry the king. The stepsister keeps the body parts. As the king goes off to war, an old man discovers Dornička’s body and decides to bring her back to life. He persuades the queen to exchange the body parts for parts of a golden spinning wheel. The king returns in triumph, and the spinning wheel portrays a song that describes the crimes of his queen and her mother. The king races to the forest to find his rightful bride and throws the murderers to the wolves. The piece ends with their joyful wedding. The Wild Dove A woman has secretly poisoned her husband. Her theme is a funeral march as she accompanies his body to the cemetery, feigning grief. She remarries in a flamboyant wedding, but the daily cooing of a dove over her first husband’s grave reminds her of her crime and drives her insane. She drowns herself, and the dove gets the last word.

Man I love this piece

Stein , Klemperer and Keilberth, these are my favorites, but steins performance might be the best one.

A little too fast in many sections

4:08 Wow so this is where the main theme of 1st movt. of Mahler's 1st Symphony came from 😮

Stunning ❤

In a time of barbarism we must endure. It is works like this that help us.

I know Mahler preferred a male vocalist, but I like a female voice, but if I could only have a male singer then it would be this one as it is more than tolerable.

Absolutely wonderful, overall probably the finest performance I’ve yet heard and that includes Petrenko’s great version with the RLPO recorded at the RAH some years ago. The organ was briefly too prominent in the finale but that doesn’t negate the excellence of Mackerras’ vision of this magnificent symphony.

Composition magistrale! interprétée par un immense musicien. La version de Georges Cziffra est également d'un autre monde. C'est génial!!! merci pour le partage.

One of the most beautifully and extraordinary performance of this exquisitely sensual music !! ❤

A superb performance.

Love the 7/8 meter in the first movement

Yikes Speedy Gonzales 😢

sublime

Such a beautiful rendition

The Scherzo is marked Allegretto (with a trio, Moderato); the finale is marked Vivace.

Hard to find, thanks!

Mackerras really understands this somewhat complex work and is served by a good recording which does not lose the quieter undertow found in the percussion. His tempi are quite close to in Elgar's own recording but the incredible orchestration can really be appreciated here. Obviously, the composer's version is from a time when the colours of instruments was often lost. In order to follow the many thematic and harmonic 'clues' to an implied narrative in this great work one must pay close attention. Boult recorded the 2nd three times and all have their merits as well as authority but in very late life performed the work live in London and these versions are better than the studio ones. The grand old man was on fire. I have tapes of two of these and I hope that the BBC will see fit to release material from their archives before too long. Elgar's symphony No 2 is truly one of the greatest works of the late Romantic period yet seldom performed.

How can anyone with clear conscience (except for advertisers who have no conscience) continually interrupt this tragic work with jaunty, crass commercial promotions?

Oso azkar!

This is the one you want!

As far as I am concerned this is the greatest recording of anything of all time. Every soundwave is deliberated and delivered to perfection. Reinbert de Leeuw and the NCC rock!

Very beautiful and deeply heartfelt music. Incredible great performance.

This is his Op. 46. The key is G Major.

Aaaah, a master sings the music of THE Master. So close to perfection, only Dieskau again singing THE ABSCHIED (Das Lied Von Der Erde). Danke.

Easy to grasp why Pettersson has not made an international break thru. Music is well written but it has no goal but wanders in a rhapsodic way. Colors more important than logics of the work.

Eloquently interpreted and performed.

Horst Stein was yet another Karajan rival whose career was suppressed by the General Musik Direktor of Europe.

Thanks very much.

Lovely piece!

Interestingly enough, these two were among the first quartets which became my favorite. Well, before them was the American Quartet of Dvorak and the late Quartets of Schubert. Anyway, for a long time I listened mostly operas and symphonic orchestral music. After 2000 I began studying chamber music - mostly using youtube. These quartets are not considered to be "easy" ones - neither for the performers, nor for the listeners. They had, however, phenomenal effect on me. Janacek is kind of unique. I knew the Glagolitic mass and some other pieces, but these are real gems. Thank you for posting.

Very beautiful (sublime) own personal expression in this magnificient musical mode s.c. symphony 💐

What fresh hell have you unleashed upon us this time

Wonderful!!!

I don't know what it is about these two works but I am completely addicted to them. The sound world Janacek created in them is absolutely unique and sublime beyond words, almost otherworldly

Magnificient interpretation by an underrated conductor!!!the Bruckner 6th is a real masterwork.thank you so much!
