Recording taken from Aug. 17 concert at the Royal Albert Hall, Proms 2019, BBC 3.
Glazunov's 5th Symphony had its Proms premiere in 1897, over 120 YEARS ago. The audience seemed so overwhelmed by this music that they clapped after even the slow 3rd movement, something unheard of especially for Glazunov. It's like the audience couldn't contain how shocked they were that this music existed. Makes you think... why hasn't he been performed more? This was a HISTORIC night, and hopefully a sign of things to come for this amazing composer! I must admit, the slow 3rd movement might be the greatest symphonic slow movement Glazunov ever composed.
I DO NOT OWN THIS CONTENT
BBC please don't take it down, I just want to share this historic event. :(
The thing about Glazunov's music is that he never wrote anything mediocre. It was always tuneful, with great harmony and orchestration.
Wonderful legacy... i wanna see a original video orchstra playing..
Interesting: I can hear Rach 1 in this: Glazunov premiered that, early in 1897...
I haven't listened to that symphony tbh, just parts. 😅
General culture, in case anyone reads this: do not applaud before the work has been completed.
Very good interpretation of Glazunov!!
During the days of Beethoven, and possibly Glazunov too, audiences clapped not only between movements, but also inside movements when it took their fancy to show their appreciation of something of note. In general, Proms concerts tolerate people doing whatever they want within reason (gunfights in the hall are frowned upon).
After Tchaikovsky's Pathétique's 3rd movement, the over-the-top jubilant atmosphere seems to invite a premature stormy applause. And then: no response from the orchestra and conductor, who lifts his baton and we get the heart-rending 4th movement. In fact, I feel that such a premature applause adds to the impact of that 4th movement, and the silence of today's informed public - let alone the pedantic hissing when someone applauds - seems unnatural to me.
I was there too and indeed that particular movement moved me immensely! Hopefully the BBC will make the whole concert available with video. (Only then might one understand and accept them for taking this down!)
Thank you SO much for posting this!!! I was there at The Albert Hall on Saturday, and the 3rd movement moved me unutterably. The clapping, whilst unusual, did indeed express the audience's response. I now cannot resist playing this movement .... endlessly!
Superb- my new standard for this symphony!
What a great recording of this amazing symphony. Thank you New Flutist for documenting this
Stunning performance with great bass!
Good for you New Flutist. A very valuable document
Amazing!
I wouldn't mind if the audience at these concerts might at least wait for the music to end before erupting.
also mir gefällt diese Einspielung weniger, viel zu brav und zu "schön". Da geht einiges an Dramatik verloren.
