this is an absolute brilliant and beautiful performance of the 4th! Magnificent...still the greatest is Gunter Wand with NDR in 1990 th-cam.com/video/ziXfdU6iTp4/w-d-xo.html
That's one thing I notice about the audience featured in this channel's videos: the applause is rather underwhelming, even when it's a particularly spectacular ending.
@Max E Very well. Just that when I used to attend L.A. Philharmonic programs in the Mehta & Giulini days, we were unafraid to get off our butts when when a great finish brought us near to tears. Maybe Europe is spoiled.
Merveilleuse interprétation Ce que j’aime avec cette symphonie c’est que tous les mouvements sont fantastiques Le chef et l’orchestre (et la prise de son ) a la hauteur . Un grand plaisir , merci!
Mit diesen guten Mikrofonen hört man sogar das Rascheln des Publikums. Wie schön, dass unser Rundfunkbeitrag für so großartige Orchester verwendet wird!
That's one of the reasons why I like this channel so much, the sound quality is excellent and increases the beauty of the music. I also think the HR Sinfonieorchester is an excellent orchestra, so that's double the pleasure of listening :)
I've been there in "Alte Oper Frankfurt" 2016. Performance and sound was incredibly good. It's a little bit ashaming, what the folks gave as a "thank you" to Inbal and the musicians. Later I met two of the musiscians in the metro and gave my best "Thanks to you", I was able to give. I asked, why the public was so ignorant, the answer: "They didn't know it." "What, really? It.s a famous work!" "No, not for the normal people. They only give big applause to the famous works!" It's sad, but true. For me it was a wonderful (h)ear experience!!! The orchestra is really gorgeous.
A towering, epic reading, spectacularly paragraphed and phrased - lofty grandeur all the way, the absolute beauty of the unattainable and the untouchable. Golden magnificence.
Bruckner ci porta via dalla terra verso altre dimensioni. La sua musica ha qualcosa di mistico, segno di una forte fede che io purtroppo non riesco a trovare!
What a splendid, superb assembly of great musicians! Wow! This 4th is almost like a horn concerto. Hats off to the great 1st horn! They're all the best.
This is the best largely-unknown orchestra I have ever heard. The whole performance is outstanding, but the coda of the fourth movement is particularly good. It makes the hair on my arms stand up. Most of the many TH-cam videos by this orchestra are the best performances that can be found on the internet.
May I thank the administration of this very fine Orchestra for this wonderful, wonderful performance. In London here I am denied all visits to concerts, and I am suffering as a result. But I have the great consolation of seeing and moreover hearing this utterly superb orchestra in the Bruckner 4th. Your wonderful concerts on TH-cam are a great help in these times. Thank you.
I totally agree with you. This orchestra is one of the finest in Europe and this performance of this magnificent symphony has to be one of the finest interpretations . Kudos all round to the orchestra ( what a 1st horn!! ) and Maestro Inbal.
@@BritinIsrael Thank you Mr. Clive... this orchestra is just totally outstanding. Why I ask myself have we not heard of their brilliance before? I cannot wait to get out to Frankfurt to hear them for myself... we are so lucky here to have wonderful performances by them... I agree with you about the first horn!!
Ich sollte mir unbedingt mal eine derartig schöne Aufführung in einem Konzertsaal anhören! Besuchte schon viele Jazz und Rock Konzerte, aber mit dem alter kam erst das Gehör für die "wirklich schöne Musik"! 👌🏼
Majestätische Aufführung dieser majestätischen Sinfonie. Die seidigen Töne aller Streicher und die milden Töne aller Holzbläser sind besonders eindrucksvoll. Das ist Bruckner!
I. Bewegt, nicht zu schnell ∙ 00:43 II. Andante quasi Allegretto ∙18:40 III. Scherzo. Bewegt - Trio. Nicht zu schnell. Keinesfalls schleppend. - Scherzo ∙33:56 IV. Finale. Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell ∙ 45:10
The horn solo in the beginning was so nice and smooth. The camera should have been focused at the horn player to capture the entrance moment, when the whole world rotates around that player.
Wow, love how Inbal interprets the strings in the coda!!! That is a beautiful interpretation I have yet to hear and I listen to lots and lots of Bruckner.
I cannot agree more with you. Maybe it's this particular revision of this great symphony but the sound of the strings accompanying the brass in the final pages has never sounded so magnificent. Kudos to this wonderful orchestra and Maestro Inbal for giving us a unique performance. I have lost count of the number of times i return to this recording.
I think it is achieved by the leader and some others playing the notes on the beats as accented quavers [?} rather than the continual semiquavers, if my eyes do not deceive me from the glimpses of bowing we get.
Ich liebe deine Beiträge zu sehen! Es ist immer eine große Freude, diesen Kanal zu öffnen und zu sehen, dass Sie Ihre Zuhörer nicht vergessen, denn jeden Monat etwas Neues und von außergewöhnlicher Qualität hat. Danke.
There is some music that lies beyond criticism, and this symphony is a prime example; it is magnificent and emotionally and spiritually transcendent, realized here in a truly great performance.
Not really. It's full of unfinished melodies and cut motifs (trait of romantic music in general as composers tried to mimic Beethoven but couldn't). Next, there are plenty of cliches you can instantly recognize Viennese school from. It's far from emotional. I actually like it because of coldness and calculated composition. The truth is, it's too long. Whole material could be fitted into 45 minutes easily. Especially later parts are unnecessary, at 47:49 it should have ended. I would be giving you a medal if you can point at anything new past this point. 4th part sucks in general, it's like Bruckner tried to present four or five different endings of symphony one after each other for listeners to choose the one they like most. Also, its sound is overcrowded with brass section making listening a tiring experience. Next, separation between parts is unclear, all of them sounding kinda lethargic. Next, it's just not good enough. Bruckner tries to milk a few motifs in as many ways as he can never actually developing a theme or finishing even single melody. I can't hear music moving anywhere. Of course in major it's down to calculated structure of symphony. I hate places such as this at 25:32 when orchestra and audience are put in rehearsal mode.
Lieber Gott, ich glaube, dass Du mit diesem Meisterwerk Bruckners, dem Dirigenten Eliahu Inbal und den hervorragenden Musikern des Orchesters eine riesige Freude hast ! Danke für dieses wahrhaftig überirdische musikalisch-klangliche Erlebnis ❤❤❤ Vergelt‘s Gott tausendmal ✨✨✨🙏 ! ✨✨✨🕯✨✨✨
Bruckner says 「My Symphonies are beautiful like the flowers of roses , and immeasurable , unfathomable and invincible , and are full of admiration and deep impression 」 From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Bruckner hat schon immer gezeigt, dass er ein ganz Grosser ist. Ein ganz ganz genialer Komponist. Ich bin stolz aus seinem Land zu kommen. Bravo Anton Bruckner👏🏻👌🏻👍🏿
Ich habe Tränen der Freude geweint über dieses Meisterwerk und seine gelungene Interpretation ! Danke! Danke! Danke !!! Ich weiß kaum, wie ich meine Freude❤️ ausdrücken soll, - denn es ist ein Gottesgeschenk ✝️✝️✝️
This is majestic, so powerful, Bruckner is music at its best. Wish everyone could hear this, especially those who have never heard classical music. What talented performers!!
One especially magical detail in the ending of the 1st movement - listen to the theme played by the violas (17:10) then taken up by the violins (17:40). It's a "preview" of the theme from the Trio of the 3rd movement (38:28)! 🤩
Cette symphonie de Bruckner mérite bien son surnom de "romantique" . Très expressive et emprunte de thèmes cycliques, elle est ainsi une des plus populaires et sans doute la plus facile d'accès de l'univers de ce grand compositeur germanique. .L'orchestre et son chef sont ici remarquables mais je ne peux m'empêcher d'avoir une pensée plus particulière pour les instrumentistes à vent notamment les cuivres !
The first time I went to borrow CDs from the library (in the pre-Internet days), I picked Bruckner's Fourth and Shostakovich's Seventh. I had no idea what I was getting at the time and was totally blown away.
Same here. For me it was Tchaikovsky's 4th and Dvořák's 9th checked out from the library. Bruckner's 4th I bought the CD from an actual store never having heard it but I completely fell in love. Now I need to check out Shostakovich's 7th 😅
Impresionante versión de una de mis sinfonías preferidas de Bruckner. Desde el principio, hasta el apoteósico final, todo va maravillosamente, con unos solistas en estado de gracia y un conjunto que brilla como nunca. Esta es mi orquesta favorita, a la que tengo por una de las mejores del mundo, y aquí lo demuestra con creces. El director, preciso, de una gran expresividad. Excelente sonido, realización buena, se oyen los aplausos y se ve los saludos de los músicos, ¿qué más se puede pedir? Ah, claro: estar allí, en directo, alguna vez...
Barletta Francesco Roma.Bruno Walter grande direttore del secolo scorso soleva dire di Bruckner che nella sua musica aveva trovato DIO! Al contrario di Mahler il quale avendolo cercato falli' sempre anche scrivendo musica altrettanto bella.L'orchestra di Francoforte e il direttore Imbal sono eccezionali. Grazie grazie mille.Bravi a tutti, soprattutto agli ottoni. Veramente avete suonato divinamente!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
As palavras não vem fáceis para elogiar esta sinfonia. Final enriquecido com um suave toque melancólico, evocando sentimentos que transcendem a razão. Glorioso!
This orchestra is impressing me more and more. I wish DG would give them a contract. Remember INBAL recorded a Mahler/DENON cycle with them - excellent Mahler.
Thanks for sharing that. I like Mahler. Going to check it out now that you mention. I find this recording to be really well done, therefore, naturally you got me interested. 😌✌🏻
Really love the brisk tempo of the 4th movement. What a great orchestra!!! That hall is so fine. I adore my Bernstein/Vienna Phil. Mahler 5th recorded there.
With this symphony, for me, is that amazing, extraordinary crushed note the horn plays in the climax movement 3. It’s like the earth’s core has just opened up in slow motion
The first horn part in Bruckner's 4th is a dream part.In this wonderful performance ( and recording) i have never heard such brilliant individual instrumental playing . the closing pages never fail to make my hair stand on end . Only in this Inbal performance do you hear the beautiful repetetive strings backing the brass and wind instruments in those final glorious pages.
Großes Lob an die Tontechniker. Da kommt kaum eine CD-Aufnahme ran an die Klangqualität. Als ob man direkt im Publikum sitzen würde. Das Orchester und Dirigent freilich „spielen“ auch virtuost! Eine phänomenale Aufnahme.
We're essentially talking about 1,2 and 4, apart from 8. I agree with you about 8,and 1, but I don't understand how anyone can prefer the original 3 and 4. They are embryos...
3 is vastly superiour in it's first two versions. The 3rd version is an abomination that he should never have wasted his precious time with. He should have worked on the 9th instead of further mutilating the 3rd. By the way there is a reason why Bruckner did not destroy the original versions, like for example Brahms who would not publish anything until he was done with all revisions. Bruckner considered his original versions to be just as valid as the revised versions.
Wow what a great performance . Tempii perfect, very inspiring direction from Inbal, and an outstanding first horn player ( who has such an important role to play). And the recording is fantastic. Bruckner's symphonies should be an essential part of all concert planning. Let's have less Mozart, Schubert, Haydn and more more more Bruckner! His adagios must surely have been sent by SMS from Heaven.
1) Although Bruckner would have analyzed the chords using 18th century European figured bass, I have chosen 20th century American jazz chord terminology, but with having to choose between function and enharmonic simplicity (I wasn't going to write down double flatted chords). 2) From the best that I can hear and in the key of Eb Major: 1:03:02 = Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major 1:03:30 = Ab Minor/Eb, Eb Major, F Diminished Minor/Eb, Eb Major 1:03:40 = Ab Minor, Eb Minor/Gb, Cb Major - Cb Major 7th, Eb Sus/Bb - Eb Minor/Bb 1:03:50 = Ab Minor 6th, Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Eb Minor/Bb - Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Ab Minor/Cb, Eb Sus/Bb - Eb Minor/Bb, 1:03:59 = F Diminished Minor/Cb, Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Ab Minor 1:04:09 = Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Eb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major 1:04:27 = Eb Unison, Fb Major (enharmonically becoming E Major) 1:04:36 = A Minor, G Major, C Major, B Major, E Major, Eb Major, Ab Minor, Gb Major, Cb Major, Bb Major, Ab Minor, Gb Major 1:05:03 = Fb Major 1:05:12 = Eb Major 3) Starting at 1:04:09 and particularly at 1:04:36 on through to the end, the strings play a triplet figure that increases the harmonic tension of each chord, in many instances by playing non-chord tones on the downbeats of the first of two successive triplets. These string triplets are something like what the dying Mozart referred to as "the fire" as he dictated his Requiem to Salieri in the film version of Amadeus.
It is a sequence of 14 simple major/minor triads (the most basic of all chords), but a very unusual sequence, and ending with the flattened supertonic (in this case F flat) which is a particularly unusual chord. And yet it all sounds so natural and inevitable. The context of the "scale" notes played by the strings may be an essential factor too. Here B shows his unsurpassed mastery of harmony. In the ending of the 7th he goes on to show his mastery of something more (which doesn't have a technical name).
1:03:02 Amazing pulsing effect that Inbal gets out of the strings playing those triplets. Celibidache did the same thing, but at WAY too slow a tempo. Here it’s sounds just right.
Bruckner’s symphonies will quench and moisturize your parched soul
The applause doesn't do justice. This is actually one of the best performance of Bruckner No. 4 I've ever heard. Kudos to them
Yes. Read my comment above!

@Max E I like to hope you are correct. Seems to me the German & Dutch audiences are VERY subdued in their appreciation of some very great codas.

YES!!!!!! #8 is also pretty dang good too...but, this one is the best!
Stairway to Heaven!
I can’t wait tell the ending
You obviously haven't heard Mahler's 2nd, 3rd, 8th endings.
@@TC.....Mahler‘s endings aren’t bad either.
Das Orchester ist so wundewrvoll! Wenn ich das Finale höre, wie jetzt gerade, kommen mir die Tränen!
The final pages of this wonderful score are like an ascent to Heaven and the doors opening to let you in. What a magnificent ending!
Well explained!!
Yes very some people just don’t make eny sense
The whole last movement seems a struggle between darkness and light--I think it's the most remarkable thing ever: such a kaleidoscope of emotions.

I totally agree also. Being a classical music nut discovering TH-cam was like discovering the Great Library at Alexandria...intact.
great music
Agreed, but will it also eventually become lost in a warehouse belonging to the United States Government Services Administration?

Sehr beeindruckende Wiedergabe. Den Finalsatz habe ich noch selten so klar gehört
One especially magical detail in the ending of the 1st movement - listen to the theme played by the violas (17:10) then taken up by the violins (17:40). It's a "preview" of the theme from the Trio of the 3rd movement (38:28)! 🤩
Thanks for pointing that out! There's lots of these cross-references in each Bruckner symphony, and it's nice each time one notices a new one :)

even if I wouldn't be amazed by all of this piece, I would listen to this one hour of music. Just for the overwhelming coda. simply incredible.
This coda is one of the best piece of music ever written ; ;
Nice opening horn solo!
In this performance,
all is full of far superior splendor amazing
Bruckner: Hates hunting
Also Bruckner: Creates one of the best hunting musics there is 33:56
Sehr ausdrucksstark. Wagnerisch und trotzdem leicht.
Wunderbar !
I have to do this for school and I am very glad that I can listen to this because it’s amazing
Magnifique! Pour moi la meilleure version.
Música que penetra na alma e nos deixa mais serenos. Maravilha!
Inbal and this orchestra have a really great past together. He made one the best Mahler cycles ever with them.
Quotenwagnerianer. He made one of the worst Berlioz cycles ever with them.
He also did a great Bruckner cycle, unfortunately of the original scores.
"Unfortunately"?! The original scores are, with the exception of the 8th Symphony, vastly superiour to all later iterations.
We're essentially talking about 1,2 and 4, apart from 8. I agree with you about 8,and 1, but I don't understand how anyone can prefer the original 3 and 4. They are embryos...
3 is vastly superiour in it's first two versions. The 3rd version is an abomination that he should never have wasted his precious time with. He should have worked on the 9th instead of further mutilating the 3rd.
By the way there is a reason why Bruckner did not destroy the original versions, like for example Brahms who would not publish anything until he was done with all revisions.
Bruckner considered his original versions to be just as valid as the revised versions.
Con todo mi afecto me sumo a los aplausos. Y muchas gracias hr-Sinfonieorchester.
Aww it was a cute finale and a nice performance. Very difficult symphony
I like this because this makes sense and some peeps don’t and you can tell what is happening by the music 🎵
The end is amazing it’s the best part! 😊🎉😊🎉
Bruckner is amazing
tolle aufführung beeindruckend schön.
FFS : THIS FIRST MOVEMENT . WHAT A FEELING AND PASSION .
wonderful! thank you for sharing on you tube ⚘⚘⚘
2nd movement at 24:40 that theme with that unexpected joy and those little "jumps" always fill my soul with happiness!
It's hard for me to think of any performance of anything ever that is better than this.
Прекрасное звучание,,спасибно за. Запись
Excellent performance!
Inbal is a modern master in the grand old tradition
Every time I hear the first movement of this glorious work, I envision rays of sun emerging from the glories of Heaven.
Piękne wykonanie Wspanialej Symfonii!
Eine sehr gute Bruckner Darbietung!!!
Wow what a great performance . Tempii perfect, very inspiring direction from Inbal, and an outstanding first horn player ( who has such an important role to play). And the recording is fantastic. Bruckner's symphonies should be an essential part of all concert planning. Let's have less Mozart, Schubert, Haydn and more more more Bruckner! His adagios must surely have been sent by SMS from Heaven.
That's it!
This Symphony is the expression of aesthetics of Bruckner
Maybe the best ending of a symphony ever.
Absolut ergreifend ❤❤❤

The chord progression in tge end ist just sooo wonderful! Does sb know the exact chords?
1) Although Bruckner would have analyzed the chords using 18th century European figured bass, I have chosen 20th century American jazz chord terminology, but with having to choose between function and enharmonic simplicity (I wasn't going to write down double flatted chords).
2) From the best that I can hear and in the key of Eb Major:
1:03:02 = Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major
1:03:30 = Ab Minor/Eb, Eb Major, F Diminished Minor/Eb, Eb Major
1:03:40 = Ab Minor, Eb Minor/Gb, Cb Major - Cb Major 7th, Eb Sus/Bb - Eb Minor/Bb
1:03:50 = Ab Minor 6th, Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Eb Minor/Bb - Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Ab Minor/Cb, Eb Sus/Bb - Eb Minor/Bb,
1:03:59 = F Diminished Minor/Cb, Eb open fifth, add 2/Bb, Ab Minor
1:04:09 = Eb unison, Cb Major, Eb unison, Eb Major, Eb unison, Cb Major
1:04:27 = Eb Unison, Fb Major (enharmonically becoming E Major)
1:04:36 = A Minor, G Major, C Major, B Major, E Major, Eb Major, Ab Minor, Gb Major, Cb Major, Bb Major, Ab Minor, Gb Major
1:05:03 = Fb Major
1:05:12 = Eb Major
3) Starting at 1:04:09 and particularly at 1:04:36 on through to the end, the strings play a triplet figure that increases the harmonic tension of each chord, in many instances by playing non-chord tones on the downbeats of the first of two successive triplets. These string triplets are something like what the dying Mozart referred to as "the fire" as he dictated his Requiem to Salieri in the film version of Amadeus.
It is a sequence of 14 simple major/minor triads (the most basic of all chords), but a very unusual sequence, and ending with the flattened supertonic (in this case F flat) which is a particularly unusual chord. And yet it all sounds so natural and inevitable. The context of the "scale" notes played by the strings may be an essential factor too.
Here B shows his unsurpassed mastery of harmony. In the ending of the 7th he goes on to show his mastery of something more (which doesn't have a technical name).
1:03:02 Amazing pulsing effect that Inbal gets out of the strings playing those triplets. Celibidache did the same thing, but at WAY too slow a tempo. Here it’s sounds just right.
Ich grüße Euch aus der Ortenau (Schwarzwald).
