Thank you good sir
Thanks mate

Thanks, big help to me
This piece never spoke so profoundly to my soul until I heard this version
Who is listening to my symphony instead of practicing?
I see what you did there.
Not Ling Ling
@@bowmain1577 interesting
I swear I am practicing!
Ethan Derda Do you have an extra set of arms?
My Dad used to study under Celibidache and he always tells me about his incredibly high standards and strictness. He would for example have the students memorize a piece over night without even listening to it and then conduct (or play it) it the next day which just seems unbelievably difficult to me. He also seems to have been a very funny person to be around at times, though. Because my Dad has been telling me these stories since I was very little (I´m only 15 now so yeah), in my mind Celibidache has always been this bigger than life sort of image that wasn´t entirely human and watching him perform for the first time in my life is just mind blowing to me. Seeing everything my Dad told me about him in the way he conducts feels a bit surreal to be quite honest but it makes me very happy at the same time :)
my music teacher tells me about it
Wow that’s mind blowing I had never actually heard of someone who knew Celibidache in person. You’re very lucky. I am from Italy and I am myself also very young only 17. I’ve discovered him like 3 years ago and he’s been the only teacher for me since then. I could resemble in my way of thinking everything he said. Must be awesome to have a so close sibling that can like talk u about him every day ahahah.
@@EldenScraps Great! I'm 27y. And have been doing the same You're doing, but for a longer time. Celi died few years after I was borm and when I watch this performance I think: woah! I was not born at that time! That's incredible, because It looks like they are all performing today and he is still alive conducting. I would like to show to the World or at least to my country How he was right in his conducting technic and how human he could be...
Renan Pablo yes that’s exactly the same sensation I have. Like he’s out there somewhere sitting in a garden waiting for music to be done just one more time.
@@EldenScraps awesome!
Sergiu Celibidache visited my country (Chile) first in 1952 and 1953, creating a sensation in the musical community. At that time he was being denied the direction of the Berliner Philharmoniker where he was the stable conductor and the rightful heir of Fürtwangler. He came to Chile a second time in 1992, this time with his Münchner Philharmoniker. His two visits to Chile were duly appreciated. The 1992 visit was just one year after this fantastic video recording of the Dvorak 9th. His program was Mozart 40th and Beethoven 5th. He would die rather soon afterwards. He was an elderly man, had some difficulty walking, he had to conduct sitting down, but his mastery and control over the orchestra were unsurpassed. A real hero of modern times. Thanks for uploading.
Saludos querido amigo, ojalá pudiera haber vivido para ver ese concierto en persona. Saludos!
Thanks a lot for your cogent and generous comment!
@@gchircu Thanks to you
The playing by timpanist Peter Sadlo is Outstanding! RIP, Peter
The slowest interpretation I ever heard with a great respect for the details and an outstanding transparency - so beautiful !
Omg.. very. The problem is while it is technically excellent, when I close my eyes, I dont hear emotion.
Way too tired and slow. Imagine Klieber doing this piece? Yes, exacting but I’m sleeping. He doesn’t get it.
Magnificent!
The Karajan version is great, but this is just something else entirely. Absolutely fantastic. It's so different, I can hear more notes than in the one by Karajan, and it is not due to difference of sound quality. Celibidache was out of this world.
youre completely right. Bernstein and Kajaan are good ones... but Celibidache's one is above all. example: part from 42:58 to 44:10 is so refined, so smoothing

When you stay on your chair in front of your screen watching the vid till the end of the applause, you know you've had a terrific moment of beauty. Thks for posting.
Apart from the magnificent conducting and the great musicians, let me praise something that isn't mentioned here very often: the amazing acustics of this concert hall and the perfect camera work/directing! That was on point.
My thoughts exactly. Great recording.
That's true. Thank you for reminding❤
Excelente observación. De gran ayuda su aporte experimentado.
Grande, Maestro Cellibidache! 💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹😍
The audio mixers. Bravo!
I never heard this interpretation before..Magnificent...could be my joy at age 88.. clearly, Dvorak would be proud to hear this from his Heavenly home!
👍💙🥰
Is he in heaven?
Laying down in a silent room listening through my Bose 700 headphones with my eyes closed, to this version of Largo, perhaps the most beautiful piece of music ever written, and I can just believe I’m in heaven.
Celibidache was a magician. Those who criticize haven't got any idea of what real music is. The best thing to avoid their ignorance is to listen. It is the only solution.

哦哦
Your comment made me laugh XD
I’m just a regular listener,not a musician. While I do realize there is music that is meant to be played fast and yes sometimes the fast pace is exciting. I do feel that now days everything tends to be pushed faster. I found this performance refreshing and thoughtful…….just love it………my poor old brain can really savour each colour in this wonderful piece.
This orchestra treats this piece with such respect...
I agree with you
But the last bar of the first cor anglais solo is played by the 1st oboist, with an oboe.
As well they should!
I cant tell if you know so much about classical music or just be pretending... if its first, I envy you =)
I would like to add: with so much love...
No other performance compares. I can't even listen to it faster now.
Celibidache is a genius in bringing out the best of this symphony.
You're right. I just came here after listening to the Karajan Berliner version. Too fast, I thought. Even though I have listened to it before and appreciated it. Realized that it was because in my head I was hearing this Celibidache version!
Jo génius jak ukrást kdejakou hudební myšlenku, hodně si ukradl od Beethovena
I have to come back to this every now and again to reaffirm the fact that this symphony is so much better when taken slow
Coincidence or not, this is one of my favorite symphonies. I wanted to hear it since I kinda feel alone and it's my birthday. I saw that this was posted the same day as today, 7 years ago
happy birthday Pedro
I don't know when your birthday is ... But I wish you a happy birthday.

This movement (Largo) is so beautiful it was re-named in popular music (Jane Froman) "Going Home" --- I want this piece played at my funeral.
Bravo, maestro Dvořák! Bravo, maestro Celibidache! Bravo, Münchner Philharmoniker!
Da quando ho scoperto questa interpretazione non posso fare a meno di ascoltarla ogni due tre giorni. Ogni volta riscopri qualcosa di nuovo. La cadenza lenta valorizza la sinfonia. Un direttore ineguagliabile.
I am Czech and I am so proud of it ♥ Dvorak had had a tough life and had felt really homesick in the US...this shows his deep love to his country :)
in every opera the slowless of Maestro Celibidache directs is LOVE and RESPECT for music!
I had heard Dvorak's 9th symphony for over a hundred times, but Celibidache's version offers so many surprises, the details that I had not notices before. The clarity of the sound and the structure of the music is superb !
Well said!
Celibidache!
it is, good ears. I love him too .precise but rich motion , ,,,
It is Celibidache's intimate knowledge of the purpose of every melody within the symphony and how to set tempos that allow both Dvorak's genius and the virtuosity of the players to shine. This rendition - in my mind -- is as close to what Dvorak intended as you can get.
@@andreabermonddesambrois6968 h
50 or so years ago, my father instilled in me a love for classical music. The largo in this symphony is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. It brings hope to the heart and sunshine for the eyes.
It's my understanding that the 2nd Movement (Largo) is based on a Negro spiritual Dvorak heard during his visit to the U.S. (1892-1895). From Wikipedia: "Dvořák was interested in Native American music and the African-American spirituals he heard in North America. While director of the National Conservatory he encountered an African-American student, Harry T. Burleigh, who sang traditional spirituals to him. Burleigh, later a composer himself, said that Dvořák had absorbed their "spirit" before writing his own melodies.
Dvořák stated: I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them."
Fantastic Tempo, when compare to von Karajan version with the Berlin Philharmonic, this rendition is more paused and more dramatic, as all the melody details come through clean and thus showing the richness of the Artwork. Sensational with high level of Panache and feel. Wonderful - Bravissimo !!
Concordo in tutto .... Celibedache fantastico
It's amazing how beautiful the image is considered it was recorded in 1991.
For me this is the best interpretation of the best Dvorák
Quante melodie si possono creare con sole sette notte: questa è un vero "Miracolo". È talmente Bella, che non mi stanco mai di ascoltarla in ogni esecuzione possibile. Un Capolavoro Eterno. Grazie A. Dvorak, Grazie Maestro Celibidache, Grazie a tutti i maestri dell'orchestra. ❤
Enormous performance..... BRAVO Cellibidace.........
This symphony is a lifelong friend. From my high school days in the late 1960’s, it has remained very precious to me. I have heard it well over a hundred times by all the great orchestras and conductors; but never at this slow and measured pace. At once, I was drawn into the maestro’s delicious embrace of this masterpiece. He fatherly savors this work with much love, hugs and kisses. Bravo!
I adore this symphony, had to conduct it for my finals for Bachelor of Music. This version is far better than Karajan's. There is breadth and pure Dvorak at his best. Thank you Maestro Celi!
Gayathri Parthasarathy In August 1972 I was in Prague and made the effort to go up to the Castle and visit the Dvorak and Smetana graves. A moment in time I have always treasured!
Gayathri Parthasarathy The Largo of his American string quartet always brings me to tears no matter the performance.
There is an inner logic to the slow tempo in the second movement that gives a sense of serenity and almost hypnotic atmmosphere, which to my mind adds more than it detracts from the work. It is an unusual reading but it works. Celibidache actually captures the very flavor of middle America during that period in its history.
I do agree with you about the 2nd movement. Too many conductors, included the venerated Karel Ancerl (1958) play it too fast. Anyway I can't understand why the 1st and 3rd movement are that slow while the Final one is really impressively majestic and I don't care if it's a bit slower than other versions. Celibidache really caught the essence of this masterpiece. According to me the best ever version of this symphony is Ferenc FRISCAY with Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra in 1960. Unfortunately no video available, only audio... (4th movement at watch?v=1grGSJlbUnE)
Oh, God, there is bound to be someone who is advocating such lunacy.
Of course, pay no attention to the composer himself who clearly marked quaver=52
( ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Файл:Dvorak._Symphony9._II_movement.JPG )
I agree!
Andrey Rubtsov what bullshit!
***** While Dvorak was a romantic composer, the programatic music of the time are used in practically all the music, even if it's not technically labelled a tone poem. This is actually based heavily on the Tale of Hiawatha, the second movement being the march to get Minnehaha, as well as a funeral march, the scherzo being a musical depiction of Hiawathas wedding, but it is a loose "New World" theme as it also has a lot of basis and borrowing from Germanic music, which Dvorak really did try and emulate and become a part of, despite the Germans pigeonholing him as a Czeck composer.
Celi gets the best out of the music and musicians in the most humble way. There is a special place in heaven for him
Oh Maestro, you’re a charmant…. Delighting our ears, constantly drawing us in with angst and trembling anticipation for the next sweet music note to our ears ….
it is all about phenomenology... the note, the sound, the space...whatever he touched, Celibidache brought it's very sense to our entire being. Thank you so much for sharing.
For me was that the best Era of Munich
Philharmonic..
Il più grande direttore di tutti i tempi. Meraviglioso da sentire, fantastico da vedere.
I cry every time I hear this beautiful piece! It always represented freedom for my parents who escaped nazi Germany in 1938, and sailed into NY Harbor and within the site of the Statue of Liberty. They then began a new life in a new world.

Wow cool
Wow, I discovered this masterpiece (especially the 4th movement) thanks to a documentary about the History of... NYC. And this piece was heard at the moment the camera was on the Statue of Liberty.
What a beautiful piece of
Music so soft and calming great symphony
This piece never fails to please, but this performance is just awesome!

yea same here.
yes just yes
How can you stop listening to this performance and watch the conducting of " Celi"!

So THIS is what a conductor does!
The entrance of those horns at 3.52 preceded by the timpani (Peter Sadlo) at 3.43, then the violins .......... Those horns, My God, amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maravillosa la MÜNCHNER PHILHARMONIKER, MAGNIFICO EL DIRECTOR
This outstanding piece of music is never boring. Celibidache's sophisticated interpretation establishes the real basis for all different kinds of imaginings and fantasies mediate through this music. Bravo!
Like a tangible link with an older world, this is no fat old conductor, he has lived this music, he brings it all to the orchestra and they to us. Every movement is carefully thought out and he is really on Dvorak's wavelength. He is a master painter, he is painting with the sound.
I just realized how wonderful this symphony is, being interpreted with this tempo. Wow......, salute!
I can never get enough of this,and I`ve been listening to this for 60 years. Thanks Dvorak.
I have no competence on classic music, so my comment is like the one of an illitterate caveman: this symphony is awesome!!! When I was a kid I used to listen this kind of music with my father who was (and still is) a passionate fan of Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Smetana. I never had an education on music (I am an engineer), however the magic of these authors still catches my soul and when I am in the right mood it turns my inner eye to myself and my memories
Massimo, BRAVO!!! Well said. That's the whole point of music You get it, my friend.
Do not be humble. You said it right. Who has ears for such almost godly music always shows respect for mankind high creations
Massi Mo this is exactly how music should be listened. People like you save music.
Same. I see my grandma's house with my inner eye.
It‘s music it‘s for everyone you don‘t need to be an expert to voice your opinion it has the same value
"New world"😍🎻🎺🎵🎶
My favourite music ever!!!!! There is so much life and detail! Great! 😍
bravissimi fantastici un grande direttore d'orchestra, la bellezza di tutti gli strumenti che suonano assieme specialmente nella apoteosi finale, una grande composizione, una pietra miliare nella storia della musica colta.
That symphony shows the exceptional skills and jenuin talent of sergue clibidache.
I love this, I love this, I love this and can I say I love this! Especially the 2nd Movement. Absolutely beautiful!
39:36 The Best of drops ever made in music history.
One of the most beautiful pieces of art that I’ve ever listened to in my life.
This music will always be immortal.
Thank goodness this was recorded! Wonderful performance. Thank you also to the 'poster'. Sometimes the angels leave one of heaven's windows open and we get to hear!
I love when a movement ends, and a quarter of the audience has a coughing fit.
K J/K It's always like that in germany for some reason... really gets on my nerves.
You should come to Spain. It's not coughing fits here, no, we've got a full-blown Coughing Chorus!!!
Apparently there is a psychological explanation for this - something about releasing emotional tension brought on by the music or something like that.
KittyFluff Love When else are you supposed to cough? It would be rude to do it while the movement is played. So you hold it back and cough in the breaks.
You may sometimes see me selling cough drops in the lobby.
That's the kind of music the world needs

Mr Eizenheim the NEW world ...symphony
Oh, the brass section, oh, the woodwinds, oh, the instrumental interaction, oh, the conductor, a gem, and more, truely Heavenly music!
Every second of these is perfect...such a masterpiece! Every note is so beautiful and round, and full of some kind of magic in it...such a blessing to know that there are so incredible pieces written ever. Both the conductor and the orchestra are amazing! Thanks to them for this iterpretation! Love from Bulgaria ❤
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many here have commented on Celibidache's 55-minute read of a work often performed in 48 minutes or less. I have been listening to this symphony for 55 years or more by dozens of excellent orchestras under dozens of top conductors; no-one has ever gotten to the heart of every melody and found the composer's soul in every tempo as with this rendition. It is timeless and, in a word, perfect.
Thanks Brian, your comments add to the culture of music through erudition and sublime objectivity.
I was brought up on the Chicago Symphony version - l'm now 77 - so maybe that's why for me it's the best. There was something about the coda of this one which didn't work for me. Perhaps someone who understands music could suggest why not?!
@@polliebain7450 All I can say is that it takes time to appreciate Celibidache's tempo and interpretation.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Es la mejor interpretación en mis 75 años que he escuchado esta sinfonía de A.Dvorak, pausado y escuchado hasta los instrumentos más agudo. Gracias por subir y apreciar está bella obra.
This music is one of many things that I am very proud of as a Czech citizen.
One of the greatest conductors! One of the greatest masterpieces so moving !
Celibidache has one of the best understandings of music ever, beautiful rendition.The most creative performance of Devorak's masterpiece.
Beautiful symphony as always! Loved it when I was 5 years old. Now I'm 70 and I still adore it.
I think this is the best interpretation of Dvorak New World ever you can listen to...
I have fond memories of the Huntley Brinkley News Hour using Dvorák as their lead-in.
For me, Mastro Celibidache's interpretation is ULTIMATE----once I hear it, all other versions are simply STRANGE
Symphony No.9 From The New World 🌍 by Dvorak. This is a magnificent piece of music beautifully orchestrated, too. Each movement is so completely different
but so well done. I listening to each movement with excitement and enjoyment for what is still be played. What a genius composer he was. I’ll continue to enjoy his work.
Absolutely beautiful ... 🎶😌😊❤️
Soon there will be a movie about his life... Can't wait to see it!
Priceless. Performance. Thank you for uploading it.
I started out thinking, "Oooh this is too slow". After about five minutes this changed to, "Aaahh, I've been listening too fast". Watching Celibidache conduct makes it all make sense - you can just see that he understands the music. He conducts with such wisdom, it reminded me of my Dad reading me stories when I was a child sat on his knee - a bit weird, but hopefully you understand what I mean.
+toastedhippo "Aaahh, I've been listening too fast"
Yes, I did, too. :)
+pega17pl me too I felt it's real song..
+toastedhippo But Scherzo Molto Vivace is Scherzo Molto Vivace at the end of the day, not Andante Non Troppo!
+toastedhippo agree, this interpretation is my favorite. the slower tempo reveal reveals so much
+Neil Hazell You have a point, but it's still a relative not an absolute measure. If all the tempoes are proportionately slower or faster, then the whole piece still holds its integrity, wouldn't you say so?
For me, Celi is the best one!!! Greatful!!!
Totally my words!
This needs to be played when we come out of Covid19 Quarantine days, as if the new world is starting. Let us hope for better days.
May you be right..
🥺
Unfortunately as I am listening to this in March 0f 2022,the world is on the brink of a possible world War and I am seeing the possibility of the country I was born in become a fascist entity

never forget the smiling Anna, passing in our Breton spaces in France, intelligency and delicate warmless... ! It talks to me somewhere... !
Melodic power in Mister Anton (WOW!)
This is the best rendition of this symphony to me.
Best rendition I have ever heard. If only the billions spent on war could go towards helping people become part of an orchestra like this.
Hello Ian. Each one his taste. Personnally I find it lacks some stamina (don't know the precise word : I'm French). For instance at 2min 35 sec the "attaque" of instruments is a bit weak, almost heavy. I am not an absolute fan of Karajan (often too nervous) but I prefer his rendition (with Vienna Philarmonic). I am still investigating to find an old version (was on vinyl LP 12", conductor forgotten ?) which was my favourite when I was young in the fifties.
Have a nice day.
My mother played a vinyl 12" in the fifties and sixties all the time, hence I got very used to the timing and interpretation. This version is the closest I've heard. Maybe your old fifties version is the same. Cheers
I know what you mean - the vinyl version in our house was with Rafael Kubelik, and it becomes definitive if you hear it 50 times by the age of 10!
Just found the recording. It is by the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra conducted by Joseph Krips. It is on You Tube.
Ian Giles While I appreciate and understand what you mean, there are sadly other militia groups who will attack others regardless whether the orchestra is fantastic or not. But I do understand where you're coming from :)
This is the definitive performance of this glorious work. I remember working with Celibidache… most treasured times ! RIP Maestro... Ron Applegate
Thanks Ron, your personal account of working with Celi adds greater authenticity to the many individual expressions of appreciation for Celi's artists and musicianship.

I have listened to the symphony No. 9 more than hundreds of times. It’s really beautiful and touching. The composer’s affection to his motherland and the hope of the new land are so moving.
I used to watch the videos of Dvořák - Symohony No. 9 from Dudamel. But this piece from Maestro Celibidache is just amazing, what a great masterpiece. You can hear many beautiful small melodies and notes which are usually in an accelerated speed easy to be ignored. Such a big surprise! Make my day! :)
Fann Lena, I agree with you. Fortunately this is the legacy that Celi, the Maestro left us. Try with "his" Brahms, Tchaikowsky, Bruckner.... Mesmerizing !!!!!!
Dudamel is worse than Celibidache
BRAVO! Wow, impressive performance! Never heard of this conductor but he did a magnificent job. Orchestra is first rate too! Really great performance and I'm not easily impressed. I've played this piece many times (violin) and so I'm very familiar with it. This conductor really gets all the details, big picture to smallest nuances--the orchestra does everything right.
I don't think that many orchestras and conductors today could do such a good job. Very, very good and enjoyable. Thanks!
lonebeagle Don't you think it's too slow?
pega17pl No. That's the conductor's perogative--his creative vision. I think that it's convincing even if the tempo at times is a little slower than usual. If everyone used the same tempos, then you don't need a conductor. A metronome would suffice. Also, this is a live performance and in live performances conductors and musicians do things differently than if they were sitting in a recording studio. I think that if you were in the audience, this performance would have been superb.
+pega17pl
I think there might be a trend for great conductors to explore slower tempos as they get older. Bernstein, Karajan, similar deal. Makes sense.
@@joeschmo5699 sorry, but in Celibidache's case, the age has nothing to do with the pace... Follow his philosophy for music and you will understand.
My favourite one is Largo, it's so beautiful 😍. Thankyou mother for still bringing me up with this beautiful genre.
Enjoyed this conductor's slower, measured, studied pace, as it allowed me to clearly absorb this wonderful symphony. The conductor is clearly in command without any histrionics! Loved that famous 2nd movement. And learning to appreciate the other movements too. This has become my go to for Dvorak's 9th.
This was the first recording of this symphony I listened to. So naturally it sounds right, while everything else sounds hurried. Best rendition of a very well known symphony.
Maestro CELIDIBACHE and his slow paces... but, ahhh, all the great detail that is revealed by this slow pacing! A beauty!
Philippe Renaud That's okay. I rather hear that than others who do it so fast like they're in a race.
Erin Biggs What they're really doing is conduct a Hollywood cowboy movie. They're forgetting this is NOT a soundtrack!
I know. Every note on these pieces hold meaning. Its all in the details
Erin Biggs Amen! Especially with this Symphony from the New World that Dvorak spent 3 years in the United States to write!
+Philippe Renaud An interesting note: If you listen to recordings of classical music starting in the '60s and '70s on up to the current time, you frequently can notice that, over the years, conductors and chamber musicians gradually began playing the great works at a faster and faster tempo.
Not sure what that means. Maybe it's a comment on the modern short attention span or the hectic pace of life today.
請看這些音樂家的年齡，每位都有數十年的鍛鍊和演奏經驗，其中有不少已具大師級功力，仍然日以繼夜，勤懇耕耘，才能使得如此美妙音樂，一代一代地承傳下去，令人敬佩！
Celibidache is one of the greatest of all conductors. Small wonder that he is the musical gourmets favorite. The audience was dazed at first and dared hardly to start their applause but then they want to go on forever.....small wonder. Immortal Maestro and what a wonderful orchestra!
Is The , not one of.
A once in a lifetime performance. Very grateful for Sergio and every musician in the Philharmonic.
This performance has such majesty and beauty, something that can't be achieved at the too-fast tempo of many modern interpretations.
I first heard this performance when I was 11 years old and it still gives me goosebumps. Celibidache understood everything, the nuances and beyond. He did an excellent job.
Agreed.
I will be soon eighty which means I am an old lady. Listening to this amazing performance of The New World lets me feel old and young at the same time. Celibidache’s interpretation makes it possible. He transcends time and space. By the way I lived in “both” worlds.
"Old Lady", why you think about age? I am only 60y old and feel young when I am able to hear this music. And I played it myself in end of the 70th....
First time listening to the "THE NEW WORLD".Fantastic conducting.
I have heard it in the radio this night. Incredible.
Musikalisch erfüllter kann ich mir dieses Werk nicht mehr vorstellen! Niemals zuvor soviel Musik in einer Symphonie gehört...Jede Nebenstimme lebt und fügt sich harmonisch in die Klangstruktur ein. Nur bei diesem Tempo lässt sich alles heraushören und miterleben. Das Englischhorn im 2. Satz ist mirakulös - wie so viele andere Solo-Instrumente - Niemand konnte das wie dieser Dirigent. Die Partitur klingt insgesamt wie völlig neu erschlossen.
Celibidache war und bleibt einzigartig...Ein wahrer Musiker mit jedem Stück der sinfonischen Literatur.
Admirably put, Kurt!
Endlich mal ein Kommentar in Deutsch! Danke!
The conductor looks like a legendary beast
Dvořák Symphony No 9 requires the highest definition of the wind instruments for the 4 parts of Gallant, Romantic, Happiness and Hope. And the Munich Philharmonic has it all. Great performance!
