I can't praise anymore this orchestra and specially Mr. Estrada because I'm out of superlatives. I have heard (seen) most of the recordings they made and I am always astonished with the beauty and perfection of each one. I've heard this piece more than a hundred times in my life but never with such atention to detail, such working with the dynamic relations, timing, and everything that brings this piece so much alive and emotional. Hope for a very long career to this orchestra and specially Mr.Estrada who is, in my view, a godsend to the art of music.
Rachmaninov counts to one of my most favorite composers. He understands to enchant my heart with his endlessly wonderful spirit. My god, what would we do without great Russian composers like him
So glad I found this. The Symphonic Dances is one of my all time favorite works and I'm a huge fan of Andres Orozco-Estrada. He is a master conductor. You can feel his passion but unlike so many modern conductors, he doesn't make it all about HIM.
It’s a joy to see Orosco-Estrada conducting, he really dances the music with all his fibres. And the orchestra responds so beautifully. He’s putting a spell not only on the orchestra but also on me, the listener. Bravissimo!
A great masterpiece of the 20th Century....the saxophone is not only perfect for that incredible solo...it is one of those once ever or one off things that can hardly be repeated. I LOVE the "haunted waltz" that is the second movement...
Beautifully sensitive performance of a tonal tapestry of multi-emotions. For me, one of Rachmaninoff's very best compositions. What a stimulating performance! Bravo! Bravo!
I never, ever, expected to hear a performance of The Symphonic Dances as good as the one recorded by Kirill Kondrashin (with the Moscow Philharmonic) but this . . . this exceeds it. My thanks and my congratulations to all those who made it possible.
I love Rachmaninoff and have listened to almost all of his music. I can't say this is better or that is better but what I can say is they are all brilliant! What a wonderful concert, a fabulous orchestra and a very charismatic and intelligent conductor!
Actually this is a great score and so are the musicians. Really enjoyable still seems like. A week ago it was composed great performance the MIESTRO is really putting out the best . BRAVO. BRAVO
You lucky people in Frankfurt -- what a marvelous performance, the orchestra sounds marvelous, and the young maestro gets this powerful set of dances just right. Ich kann nur staunen, und danken, danken, DANKEN!!
What fun it is to watch this pro orchestra play Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, which I've heard in recordings for years and years. Yes, I enjoy hearing the work played well, as it is here, but to SEE the orchestra play it is a rare treat!
Redolent in parts of Ravel, Sibelius, Copland, Barber. The 20th century threw up some great composers, and I love to hear the saxophone used in "serious music". It's wonderful throughout. These FRS concerts are beautifully played, imaginatively conducted, and the sound balance is terrific. Thanks so much, European cousins.
Los jóvenes directores latinoamericanos están rompiendo el paradigma del director de orquesta encartonado, inexpresivo, con movimientos lineales y reservado a un selecto grupo de "conocedores". La música es el lenguaje universal y la danza hace parte de su naturaleza.
The 2nd movement is sublime. Particularly the way it gathers itself toward the end, and then makes a quick mysterious retreat. There’s really nothing else like it.
Rachimaninoff's melody is bravely , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind Without Rachmaninoff and his great performers such as these performers and a splendid conductor , the classical music would have been very lonely and insipid , And the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been less From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Иногда качество звукозаписи разительно изменяет восприятие произведения. До прослушивания этого исполнения эталоном интерпретации "Симфонических танцев" для меня являлся Кирилл Кондрашин.
There has been discussion about whether the beautiful saxophone solo was a tribute to Glazunov, who had written a nice sax concerto, but had also made a dog's breakfast of the first performance of Rachmaninov's First Symphony. If so, that shows a touching generosity from a composer who probably knew this was his last composition and died soon after it was completed. One can hear a resume of all of his previous works and memories in what I think was his masterpiece.
I think I remember it being suggested that some of the great American saxophone artists were an influence here...Rachmaninoff had been living in America for some time.....and I think I hear a certain rhythmic modernity in this music as a result.
This is really interesting. I'm a saxophone player getting ready to perform this solo in school but recently learned the Glazunov, and grew to love it as one of the all time beautiful saxophone pieces. This adds another interesting layer of connection. It definitely does flow with a similar delicate feel to some of the Glazunov themes.
Ultra-Romantic, atmospheric, energetic, dramatic, and exciting, this is one of Rachmaninoff's finest works, and with his three symphonies constitutes a high point in Russian orchestral literature - masterpieces all. This is a somewhat puzzling interpretation however; after a sprightly opening movement and normally-paced 'andante', it seems to lose momentum in the finale with a slackening of tempo that allows the listener's interest to wane somewhat. I've heard and enjoyed a few of Orozco-Estrada's FRSO efforts on YT, but he can be surprising in his approach to the music. I do get the impression that he considers each composer and style on an individual basis, which is a definite plus, and a quality some conductors don't have.
Yet another very good,HD squeaky clean & polished,esthetically appealing rendition-very suave and elegant,indeed.. But where has all sense of despair gone,"the outburst of Heart" as Rachmaninov himself put it,the magic of Blinding Collision of Light and Darkness? (( And yet,Andrés Orozco-Estrada is superb!

Quanti grandi direttori qua dentro, a giudicare dai giudizio quasi astiosi. Ma che bevete, veleno? Se aveste un po' di amor proprio e di serietà ammirereste un giovane direttore alle prese con musica non facile ed una splendida orchestra. Per caso, siete invidiosi?
Ho ascoltato questo brano..che conosco a memoria.Direzione superlativa,orchestra Meravigliosa..con un brano tecnicamente e sttutturalmente complicato...Rachmaninoff era un genio ma questa orchestrazione sublime,e' la prova tangibile di una espressione musicale eccelsa.Un plauso per questo sogno reale....❤❤❤❤❤
El maestro Orozco Estrada tiene la capacidad de sumergirse en las profundidades de la música y sin ningún subterfugio, la eleva a dimensiones de expresividad sublimes. La orquesta, el director y el compositor de la obra parecen volar juntos como una sola entidad. Bravo!
Nice job by Orozco-Estrada. This piece doesn't play itself and can die if the conductor doesn't put a lot of his own personality and energy into the performance.
SALUT, PARDONNEZ -MOI, JE VOUDRAIS DIRE QU IL NE S AGIT PAS D UNE SYMPHNIE MAIS TOUT SIMPLEMENT DE DANSES SYMPHONIQUES, SON TITRE EST CELUI-CI PRECISEMENT.
I want to STRPONGLY EMPHASIZE that this was the last/final musical composit ion by the great Sergei Rachmaninoff who died on April 1, 1943, almost like his death was an unwelcome "April Fool's" day joke.
Impeccable performance of one of my favorite pieces. I know this is TV and not expecting a super-hi-fi recording, but the audio compression is ridiculous. A bass clarinet solo is louder than the full orchestra, and when everyone is blasting away fortissimo, the sound actually gets quieter!
Yes. There should be a passing note. Thankfully it's barely noticeable, and the rest of his solo was amazing. These things happen in live concert, even at the highest level. The jeopardy makes live performances much more energised and exciting than squeaky clean recordings!
@@rcrinsea He's human - mistakes happen to the best of us. Most people won't have noticed it. I only noticed it when I saw your comment so I checked the part. The solo - under high pressure in a world-class orchestra, and the performance overall were amazing.
Small slip of the finger, can happen in live situations. He plays nicely rubato compared to other recordings here. The whole performance is a powerful balanced rendition. BRAVO to all concerned
@@UnimatrixOne Ich auch nicht. Ich habe mal nach dem intro von Quarks gegoogelt und erfahren, dass die Musik von Rachmaninov ist. Ich fand sie sehr markant.

I'm all in favour of encouraging new talent but on this account at least, this young man still has a long way to go before being lauded as being very special. You only have to listen to Svetlanov's recording of the Symphonic Dances to realize that it's a world away in dynamics and rhythm, so much more exciting. Still, he's young and hopefully will develop into a first rate conductor, there is a real shortage of them today!
Resistance is always futile. Even the darkes of the dark ,Herren,, are not strong enough to face us. This world of wanderful creation will survice you - else you will be eliminated

And thank to Frankfurt Radio Symphony for not monetizing your super videos with ads interrupting. So grateful to you.

Total agreement here. Sr. Orozco-Estrada is my favorite conductor and this magnificent orchestra is lucky to have this partnership..
Can't say enough good things to say about this stellar work by one of the best composer God gifted the world with .

Rachmaninoff himself said that he considered the Symphonic Dances to be his very best work. I could not agree more!
@@jestemqiqi7647 ...and I too agree with you: Rachmaninov ' s best work. I played it in 2 Pianos version.....
Een totaal andere Rachmaninov. Meesterlijk werk! Meesterlijk gespeeld. Heel veel dank van een gepensioneerde orkest-musicienne.
One of the outstanding features of this work is the way the piano is integrated into the tonal palette, not as a featured soloist.
-- Andrès Orozco-Estrada élève son orchestre vers des sommets. Grandiose Symphonie, superbes sonorités. --
I never, ever, expected to hear a performance of The Symphonic Dances as good as the one recorded by Kirill Kondrashin (with the Moscow Philharmonic) but this . . . this exceeds it. My thanks and my congratulations to all those who made it possible.
11:20 this part is just such a magical moment with the harp, and the chord when the strings enter is just so so beautiful
Indeed! A flashback to the first Symphony Op.13, main theme of the first movement, but in major key
Sergei Rachmaninov left our world with this sublime last work/composition of his! He was living near Los Angeles CA when he wrote this.
He stated that he didn't know he still had it in him.
I love Rachmaninoff and have listened to almost all of his music. I can't say this is better or that is better but what I can say is they are all brilliant! What a wonderful concert, a fabulous orchestra and a very charismatic and intelligent conductor!
Non conoscevo il direttore orozco devo dire che e' stata una scoperta eccezionale i miei complimenti x questa bellissima esperienza

Maravilloso! Quisiera ver The Bells con este mismo director y esta misma orquesta. Me transportó muy lejos.
32:21 is my favourite bar in the entire piece. There's just something about the D flat Lydian tonailty that crushes me. 😭

No, Rachmaninoff was wholly his own man, and he and Ravel were actually quasi enemies.

Man, I'm totally digging the tambourines. :p :D
Actually, the whole piece - you know, because it's The Rach-Man.
This symphony is so mesmerizing.
IMHO, this is the best rendition. Was looking for this kind of performance!
It is a pure joy to watch these musicians deliver such a phenomenal performance. Bravo! Thank you for posting.
Always is a pleasure to listen Rachmaninow, over and over again.

It was very good but, didn't stir the emotions, as it can. And why was the tam-tam softened at the end? Either stop it dead, or let it ring on.
