keep coming back here because this symphony is fucking INSANE. tchaikovsky was indeed a genius, holy cow his music is just beyond words beautiful and indescribable, im on cloud nine listening to this
It's so difficult! So many interpretations, so many ways to do every phrase. But, as a musician, in the end you need to make your choice, let it out and trust your musical ❤. This interpretation is wonderful. The 3rd movement is very light hearted and nimble.
Don’t really know anything about music, other than my love for it. I can’t even begin to fathom how a person can create something so beautiful just with marks on a page. I imagine it must require such a knowledge and deep understanding of the inner mechanisms of music. Not to mention the depths of emotion he must’ve accessed to create something so stirring. And that is just creating it. The actual performing is a whole other thing, that is no less impressive. Ahh I’m so grateful for classical music and Tchaikovsky. It’s so beautiful.
@@lillisubz2402 no actually I don’t. I mean classical music in general. These feelings definitely apply to many composers from the baroque and classical eras.
That Horn solo in the 2nd Movement. Just Incredible how the whole Orchestra is taking its Full emotions in that part. Some of the best Horn solos I‘ve ever heard. And what an beautiful Perfomance by the orchestra👏
IMO this is the best recording of this symphony that exists. This orchestra was flawless. Virtuosic. Incredibly high level, I don't think it's ever been done better.

The second movement makes me stop in my tracks just hearing those harmonies and then the French horn stepping in 😩😩 hand down some of the most gorgeous music ever written 💕
_Has to be the best performance ever! When I was a kid, I would listen to it at night over and over on KQED. Heard the Boston Symphony live back in 1976 perform it live. Was, is, and will always be my favorite!_ 😍
a few years ago in our youth orchestra this symphony was basically all we ever talked about. Definitely one of my first symphonies I kept listening to over and over. Mind you, it's much easier with Spotify and TH-cam now. I saw this performed in Nottingham last year, was a huge moment for me :)
I heard the BSO play this gem in August this year. I had heard the french horn solo before but never the whole piece. I closed my eyes and could feel the tears falling down my face it was that beautiful to witness in person
@@michaeljackson2230I’m going to see the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra live next week playing Rachmaninoff’s second symphony and Schumann’s Piano Concerto with Helene Grimaud. I’m so excited!!
I love the passion of this concert! So many conductors almost seem apologetic about playing Tchaikovsky, as if he needs to be toned down or something. I say if you’re going to do Tchaikovsky, do it with gusto! That second movement is sublime. The horn solo is played with such sensitivity and he really lets it just ooze out and the aching notes speak for themselves.
@@adog3129 Yeah, uh, Tchaikovsky himself made his French contemporaries feel uncomfortable. They considered him a Slavic barbarian. Let's ooze and ache passionately.
@@goscott444 It is well played yes. I consider it too fast, takes away some of the great character, both the introduction and the exposition. Compared to Bernsteins th-cam.com/video/w2JBT0HC98I/w-d-xo.html
@@ludo4961 I tend to agree, though Russian music is in the DNA of Yuri Temirkanov and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic to such an extent that to my ears few achieve what they can and do. Bernstein delivers a fine interpretation, but, again to my ear, misses what the Russians call 'iziuminka', the French a 'je ne sais quoi' that raises the hairs on the back of one's neck and elevates the performance beyond even the extraordinary. Claudio Abbado pushes the envelope like no other non-Russian. Now, I would be foolish to insist that Messrs Abbado and Temirkanov have a monopoly on interpreting this work. Isn't it of paramount importance that whoever's conducting whichever orchestra give the listener a transcendent(al) experience? I think so and am grateful that this TH-cam video brings such pleasure to listener-viewers.
Eine der schönsten Sinfonien großartig dirigiert von Manfred Honeck und toll gespielt vom hr-Sinfonieorchester. Ich habe diese Sinfonie vor wenigen Tagen live mit Honeck und dem Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra erlebt. Es war gigantisch.
OMG I never get tired of listening the magnificency of Chaikovsky orchestraition. I extra love the "Andante Cantabile". The real "Licence" it has is to make people close their eyes and dream. Perfection with conduction and playing. Thanks!
@@johnwiese6760 No, dear John the word Чайковский doesn't need Tch ; its sound is only "Ch". To write it with Tch is absolutely not necessary for the sound goes exactly with Ch in English. Yet I have seen it written even Tsch for other languages in which maybe the sound must be like that. But certainly not in English, Spanish or any other romance language. As I know Russian I know it.
Don't know much about classical music but I absolutely love listening to this Tchaikovsky piece. My favourite horn solo ever. Sounds so hauntingly beautiful~
The 5th was the first concert (of any kind) I ever went to. In London in about 1983, the Halle orchestra I think. My Grandad was the big classical music aficionado in our family and made me a cassette of this symphony, and the 6th. Even though I didn't really 'get' the concert the first time, it was a bit too overwhelming, I did listen to the tape and got into it on the 3rd or 4th listen. It's now one of my favourite pieces of classical music.
That, my friends, is a work of pure genius. To compose music at that level is almost impossible for us poor mortals. A wonderful performance makes it even more impressive. Nice job Manfred.
I find this whole symphony absolutely incredible. What surprizes me though is, that while everyone's talking about the 2nd Movement, i rarely see anyone talk about the 1st. The theme is so well implemented into so many different emotions, it starts of as a kind of soft voice and ends up roaring through the concert hall. Truly amazing

Rehearsal letters on sheet music to divide sections, have no effect on the music but handy to use during rehearsal. The Italian terms announce change in tempo.
Given that the 2nd movt. is more or less the most emotionally convincing piece of art produced by a human, your mentioning of the 3rd comes off more or less as treason. To the Gulag!
@@netizencapetI agree with you about the second movement! As far as the waltz is concerned, I was only trying to highlight the degree to which Tchaikovsky had developed his art between 1876 and 1888! No offense meant, quite the contrary!
People complain (rightfully) about conductors who wave their hands needlessly as if dancing... with Maestro Honeck I don't think this is the case. Everything he does seems to be calculated to have an effect on the sound (or some other aspect of the performance) without any unnecessary movements. This to me is the sign of a truly great conductor. I also love the elegance and grace with which he addresses the audience and musicians before, during and after the concert. Incredible
Exactly the performance i was looking for! The sonorité, the energy, the horn, bassoon and clarinet solos in the second movement... just wow. In my opinion one of the best if not even THE best performance here on TH-cam!
Je pensais connaître cette œuvre par cœur, mais je me trompais, cette interprétation est vraiment fabuleuse, une prise de vue et une prise de son remarquables, que demander de plus? Un immense bravo à ce très bel orchestre et à son chef!
Seit Jahren verfolge ich dieses Orchester, und jedes Mal ist eine Wonne sie zu hören, als Muster diese Tschaikowskys 5.Symphonie. Ein Meister Stück der Musik, Gratuliere, gratuliere und vielen Dank für diese schönen Momente!
I know of no other composer that elicits such raw emotion from his compositions. This symphony is a masterpiece and it is played with wonderful precision. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony never disappoints!
@@citizent6999 That is one of the great things about classical music, everybody has an opinion on such matters and no one is wrong because the music impacts us differently as individuals. I am also a big fan of Brahms and can easily see your point.
Ich bin nicht nur Fan von klassischer Musik, sondern auch ein riesiger Fan von Glenn Miller und entdeckte hier plötzlich die Melodie von Moon Love, einem der besten Songs des Glenn Miller Orchestra. Wunderbare Melodie, in beiden Versionen
Heerlijk orkest onder de leidingvan een bewogen dirigent! Deze symfonie lijkt mij duidelijk geschreven vanuit de geluksbeleving van Tchaikowsky met duidelijk onderscheiden delen, overvolle vreugde, stille beziining, diep geluk ! Het muzikale wonder van deze muziekis dat ze ons meevoert in deze belevingen! Van harte dank.......
Im old now, but I hear this pieces of the great Piotr since I was a baby. It´s a neverending emotion to hear Tchaikovsky music. The best in whole instruments combination. And the unique who gaves to the horn a 1st plan in a piece.
Excelente Sinfonía!!!!!! Junto a la 4ta. Y 6ta. Son de mi Agrado, me gusta Tchaikovsky por qué en estas Sinfonías le sacan toda la Energia y Conocimiento a los Musicos y Director, para convertirlas en Hermosas Melodias.....
❤😂🎉😮😅😊 Thanks to Tchaikovsky and all of you. At time I lost grips over my head, when I discovered to listen him I really recovered a lot. Many many thanks. Wish you all a very nice and prosperous future.
HR Symphony Orchestra is rapidly becoming one of my favorite interpreters of classical symphonies. Great performance. Brisk tempo, expressive melodies, lively dynamic range, beautiful harmony. Rubato when needed Of course, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony is a sublime masterpiece at anyone's hands.
Weerom zulk hoogtepunt van dit machtige orkest onder de leiding van een fijne dirigent!. In het bewogen leven van Tschaikowsky deze vreugdevolle, uitbundige vijfde sinfonie !!! Meesterlijk!!!
This is a work that I thought that I had heard more than once too often, but how wrong I was! Maestro Honeck is a master and has made this work gleam with new life! The orchestra is splendid, as they always are. Thank you for posting this superb performance.
Looks like everyone enjoyed this massive experience,an opportunity for a unity of emotion , unashamed outpouring of feelings on every level for players and audience, and a great feat of performance for this conductor, bravo...
I hadn't heard the piece in a long while. Loved it, then got tired of it. With fresh ears, I have to say, that horn player's tone was extraordinary. I wouldn't mind being his next door neighbor.
I played this the end of my sophomore year at college. It opened myself up to the wonderful works of Tchaikovsky and this remains one of my favorites by him. Such a breathtaking performance.
I'm simply speechless and intimidated from the explosion at 13:27... It's like an appalling war cry: in a moment the accumulated power bursts with violence. Not all the interpretations of this piece are so powerful!
I love this orchestra! A vigorous rendition of the 5th, remembering a recording I listened to as a kid, which probably sounded more subdued on a mono record player. Bravo Maestro Honeck. Love your work with the PSO too!
La 5a ha sido desde siempre una de mis sinfonías favoritas de Tchaikowsky, especialmente el segundo movimiento que desde muy joven me ha emocionado. Ver al Maestro dirigir sin partitura, aún no siendo el único, es encomiable. ¡Bravo!
Goodness me 😮😮😮 what inspired mad genius Pyotr Tchaikovsky to compose this triumphant symphony! Absolutely free reins of emotions, raw, yes, heart on sleeve! His compositions really bring out all the passion and skills of the orchestra 🤯💥 how skillful are these artists to bring to life the robust spirit of of his music! Bravo everyone! 🔥👏👏👏👏
Magistral interpretación de la Quinta Sinfonia de Tchaikowsky por esta afamada orquesta alemana dirigida por la batuta del maestro austriaco Manfred Honeck. Un auténtico regalo para nuestros oídos. GRACIAS !!! Saludos desde España.
This symphony is a wonderful example of how a master of composition can create greatness out of the mundane. I'm talking about the theme on which the whole work is based - it's really a rather trite series of notes, but Tchaikovsky transforms it into something magical.
@@karllieck9064 The fact that the 8-note theme which opens the symphony is hardly a piece of sparkling melodic invention, now is it? Duh, da-da duh, da-da duh, duh.
C'est tout simplement FABULEUX ! Un vrai chef qui a sculpté MAGISTRALEMENT la matière de cette oeuvre ... servi par un orchestre REMARQUABLE avec un cor solo exceptionnel ! Bravo à tous !
He has performed this work many times, but this Frankfurt performance was just the best ever, so exciting and romantic, and weren't the orchestra thrilled also? Bravo to all.
Someone in the comments said they thought the horn solo in the second movement was bad. I have to disagree! I think it was superbly done. The tempo is quite slow and he really carried the phrase and gave it motion, one of the hardest things to do. I have played this piece many times and I think all of the woodwind playing was first rate, which is to be expected from this orchestra.
I thought it was top notch-- if I had to find something I'd say he wasn't quite with the conductor in the last bars, but at that point you're lucky your brain is working at all.
A thrilling yet subtle and substantial recording of a masterwork. I have nothing but praise for hr-Sinfonieorchester and maestro Honeck. Thank you for sharing.
Ich glaube den größten Einfluss für deine Begeisterung hatte der Dirigent. Ich bin kein Fan vom hr Sinfonieorchester, aber sie sind höchstprofessionell und spielen alles, richtig, mit guter Intonation, aber oft langweile ich mich leider, weil oft dieses gewisse Etwas fehlt, der Schmalz, der Spaß und die Freude am Spielen, die Musikalität. Das fehlt bei dem Orchester leider häufig. Jedoch von der Aufnahme bin ich tatsächlich begeistert und ich glaube, dass der Maestro dafür verantwortlich ist.
Que audição maravilhosa! Agradeço ao TH-cam e aos seus produtores de conteúdo, os quais me permitem assistir a esta grandiosissima apresentação, à qual de outra forma não veria.
The emotion in this symphony is INCREDIBLE!! I have always loved and admired the way Tchaikovsky projects what he puts on the page. I one day hope to play this piece live
A great live performance, beautifully interpreted, and well articulated. Honeck is among the world's finest conductors, one who gets the best from any orchestra fortunate enough to work with him.

Rehearsal letters on sheet music to divide sections, have no effect on the music but handy to use during rehearsal. The Italian terms announce change in tempo.
@@ethodda thank you very much 👍
The Waltz is phenomenal. The body movement really rounds out the rich tone with some playfulness. Made my day.
Amazing how this waltz fulfills the promise made by the waltz in the Third Symphony!
Given that the 2nd movt. is more or less the most emotionally convincing piece of art produced by a human, your mentioning of the 3rd comes off more or less as treason. To the Gulag!
@@netizencapetI agree with you about the second movement! As far as the waltz is concerned, I was only trying to highlight the degree to which Tchaikovsky had developed his art between 1876 and 1888! No offense meant, quite the contrary!
I can't describe how wonderful this symphony is. It's just full of colours, the melody, just bright in colours
A DIVINE interpretation, in every respect! I'm in love with Honeck's tempi and dynamics!
Absolutely!!
People complain (rightfully) about conductors who wave their hands needlessly as if dancing... with Maestro Honeck I don't think this is the case. Everything he does seems to be calculated to have an effect on the sound (or some other aspect of the performance) without any unnecessary movements. This to me is the sign of a truly great conductor. I also love the elegance and grace with which he addresses the audience and musicians before, during and after the concert. Incredible
Exactly the performance i was looking for! The sonorité, the energy, the horn, bassoon and clarinet solos in the second movement... just wow. In my opinion one of the best if not even THE best performance here on TH-cam!

Je pensais connaître cette œuvre par cœur, mais je me trompais, cette interprétation est vraiment fabuleuse, une prise de vue et une prise de son remarquables, que demander de plus? Un immense bravo à ce très bel orchestre et à son chef!
Seit Jahren verfolge ich dieses Orchester, und jedes Mal ist eine Wonne sie zu hören, als Muster diese Tschaikowskys 5.Symphonie. Ein Meister Stück der Musik, Gratuliere, gratuliere und vielen Dank für diese schönen Momente!
Completely impeccable performance and interpretation with many details and notes played exquisitely and tastely, especially the tempo.
One of the most romantic symphonies.
I know of no other composer that elicits such raw emotion from his compositions. This symphony is a masterpiece and it is played with wonderful precision. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony never disappoints!
Brahms easily does it.
@@citizent6999 That is one of the great things about classical music, everybody has an opinion on such matters and no one is wrong because the music impacts us differently as individuals. I am also a big fan of Brahms and can easily see your point.
@@mysticwanderer4787 Exactly, and this orchestra always satisfies us with its wonderful performances!
@@citizent6999Brahms has never moved me to tears once.
Ich bin nicht nur Fan von klassischer Musik, sondern auch ein riesiger Fan von Glenn Miller und entdeckte hier plötzlich die Melodie von Moon Love, einem der besten Songs des Glenn Miller Orchestra. Wunderbare Melodie, in beiden Versionen
Heerlijk orkest onder de leidingvan een bewogen dirigent! Deze symfonie lijkt mij duidelijk geschreven vanuit de geluksbeleving van Tchaikowsky met duidelijk onderscheiden delen, overvolle vreugde, stille beziining, diep geluk ! Het muzikale wonder van deze muziekis dat ze ons meevoert in deze belevingen! Van harte dank.......
Wonderful hats off to every artist in hr symphony orchestra, great.
Im old now, but I hear this pieces of the great Piotr since I was a baby. It´s a neverending emotion to hear Tchaikovsky music. The best in whole instruments combination. And the unique who gaves to the horn a 1st plan in a piece.
Excelente Sinfonía!!!!!! Junto a la 4ta. Y 6ta. Son de mi Agrado, me gusta Tchaikovsky por qué en estas Sinfonías le sacan toda la Energia y Conocimiento a los Musicos y Director, para convertirlas en Hermosas Melodias.....
❤😂🎉😮😅😊 Thanks to Tchaikovsky and all of you. At time I lost grips over my head, when I discovered to listen him I really recovered a lot. Many many thanks. Wish you all a very nice and prosperous future.
Mir stockt am Ende des zweiten Satzes jedes Mal wieder der Atem (ab 27:50)! Absolut großartig!
24:45 and the minute after it are some of the best moments in all of music to me
Been a nice quiet morning coffee n classical music front door open in the country very relaxing aaahhh
Una interpretación realmente magistral!!
Un gran director con una gran orquesta.
Todo mi reconocimiento a ésos talentos 👌
Awesome!! This is the new standard of the Tchaikovsky symphony no.5
Couldn’t agree more!
HR Symphony Orchestra is rapidly becoming one of my favorite interpreters of classical symphonies. Great performance. Brisk tempo, expressive melodies, lively dynamic range, beautiful harmony. Rubato when needed
Of course, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony is a sublime masterpiece at anyone's hands.
Weerom zulk hoogtepunt van dit machtige orkest onder de leiding van een fijne dirigent!. In het bewogen leven van Tschaikowsky deze vreugdevolle, uitbundige vijfde sinfonie !!! Meesterlijk!!!
This is a work that I thought that I had heard more than once too often, but how wrong I was! Maestro Honeck is a master and has made this work gleam with new life! The orchestra is splendid, as they always are. Thank you for posting this superb performance.
Tchaikovsky composed such elegant, majestic music!
I love this performance as it shows the respect that the performers have for Tchaikovsky.
Looks like everyone enjoyed this massive experience,an opportunity for a unity of emotion , unashamed outpouring of feelings on every level for players and audience, and a great feat of performance for this conductor, bravo...
@12:15 The added string portamento!! Perfect!!! Honeck has become a true sculptor of sound!!
Now i became obsessed with this amazing observation.. thank you!
@@gilmandel An excellent and gracious comment.
I hadn't heard the piece in a long while. Loved it, then got tired of it. With fresh ears, I have to say, that horn player's tone was extraordinary. I wouldn't mind being his next door neighbor.
I played this the end of my sophomore year at college. It opened myself up to the wonderful works of Tchaikovsky and this remains one of my favorites by him. Such a breathtaking performance.
I'm simply speechless and intimidated from the explosion at 13:27... It's like an appalling war cry: in a moment the accumulated power bursts with violence. Not all the interpretations of this piece are so powerful!
I love this orchestra! A vigorous rendition of the 5th, remembering a recording I listened to as a kid, which probably sounded more subdued on a mono record player. Bravo Maestro Honeck. Love your work with the PSO too!
La 5a ha sido desde siempre una de mis sinfonías favoritas de Tchaikowsky, especialmente el segundo movimiento que desde muy joven me ha emocionado. Ver al Maestro dirigir sin partitura, aún no siendo el único, es encomiable. ¡Bravo!

I like the idea of putting solo but I'm not so sure if this is a solo because it's really short but it may just be my definition.
Honeck is conducting my heartbeat ... by far the best Tchaikovsky 5 I have ever heard… By far
A marvelous performance, MANY MANY THANKS
This is so stunning !! I am out of words of how spectacular this performance is.
Goodness me 😮😮😮 what inspired mad genius Pyotr Tchaikovsky to compose this triumphant symphony! Absolutely free reins of emotions, raw, yes, heart on sleeve! His compositions really bring out all the passion and skills of the orchestra 🤯💥 how skillful are these artists to bring to life the robust spirit of of his music! Bravo everyone! 🔥👏👏👏👏
The second movement... So many details and nuances. What a masterpiece.
Magistral interpretación de la Quinta Sinfonia de Tchaikowsky por esta afamada orquesta alemana dirigida por la batuta del maestro austriaco Manfred Honeck. Un auténtico regalo para nuestros oídos. GRACIAS !!! Saludos desde España.
This symphony is a wonderful example of how a master of composition can create greatness out of the mundane. I'm talking about the theme on which the whole work is based - it's really a rather trite series of notes, but Tchaikovsky transforms it into something magical.
Wth are you talking about?
@@karllieck9064 The fact that the 8-note theme which opens the symphony is hardly a piece of sparkling melodic invention, now is it? Duh, da-da duh, da-da duh, duh.
This is a very nice orchestra, great woodwind players!!
Tchaikovsky's pieces never ceases to amaze me, all his works will resonate in my head until death parts my memory.
Frankfurt radio symphony orchestra sounds always beautiful!
Yup
C'est tout simplement FABULEUX ! Un vrai chef qui a sculpté MAGISTRALEMENT la matière de cette oeuvre ... servi par un orchestre REMARQUABLE avec un cor solo exceptionnel ! Bravo à tous !
I don't know classical music that well but I love this French horn solo, I like this Tchaikovsky piece, it's all so beautiful, I'm very impressed....
You should listen more to classical music. It’s life changing.

He has performed this work many times, but this Frankfurt performance was just the best ever, so exciting and romantic, and weren't the orchestra thrilled also? Bravo to all.

Tchaikowsky : uno de los mejores compositores del melodismo sinfónico.
Grandísimas las sinfonías n° 4, 5 y 6.
Unbelievable composer, unbelievable work , unbelievable orchestra & conductor 🎩 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bravo!!! its a great performace, fantastic conductor and orchestra..thank you
une des plus belle symphonie de Tschaikowsky
Bravo Marc Gruber!
A splendid rendition of that most lovely of horn solos.
Someone in the comments said they thought the horn solo in the second movement was bad. I have to disagree! I think it was superbly done. The tempo is quite slow and he really carried the phrase and gave it motion, one of the hardest things to do. I have played this piece many times and I think all of the woodwind playing was first rate, which is to be expected from this orchestra.
I agree.
Bassoon mom891 Where Marc Gruber scores in this and other HR videos is what I would call "lightness of touch." I think he's excellent.
...los bronces de esta orquesta tienen un hermoso sonido aterciopelado
Also
I thought it was top notch-- if I had to find something I'd say he wasn't quite with the conductor in the last bars, but at that point you're lucky your brain is working at all.
Absolutely amazing composer and Congratulations Frankfurt Symphony Orchestra
A thrilling yet subtle and substantial recording of a masterwork. I have nothing but praise for hr-Sinfonieorchester and maestro Honeck. Thank you for sharing.
what an incredible experience was that, its so beautiful, the struggle of tchaikovsky really made me cry at that 2nd movement, unbelievable
Ich bin begeistert vom Orchester !
Ich glaube den größten Einfluss für deine Begeisterung hatte der Dirigent. Ich bin kein Fan vom hr Sinfonieorchester, aber sie sind höchstprofessionell und spielen alles, richtig, mit guter Intonation, aber oft langweile ich mich leider, weil oft dieses gewisse Etwas fehlt, der Schmalz, der Spaß und die Freude am Spielen, die Musikalität. Das fehlt bei dem Orchester leider häufig. Jedoch von der Aufnahme bin ich tatsächlich begeistert und ich glaube, dass der Maestro dafür verantwortlich ist.
@@toffifeewolf2069No way
Que audição maravilhosa! Agradeço ao TH-cam e aos seus produtores de conteúdo, os quais me permitem assistir a esta grandiosissima apresentação, à qual de outra forma não veria.
Extraordinary! Congratulations and thank you for the best music! From Romania
Oh my god, that was SO GOOD. They breathe so much life and tension and excitement into this piece!!
This orchestra is just so incredible, the amount of expression this orchestra brings to this Tchaikovsky Symphony is just outstanding! Danke Schön🙏🙏🙏
The emotion in this symphony is INCREDIBLE!! I have always loved and admired the way Tchaikovsky projects what he puts on the page. I one day hope to play this piece live
The melody at 25:00 made me cry.
A great live performance, beautifully interpreted, and well articulated. Honeck is among the world's finest conductors, one who gets the best from any orchestra fortunate enough to work with him.
