Richard Strauss, il solito gigante. Esecuzione precisa, impasto strumentale pulito...
Not only are Strauss' two symphonies the testament to a genius; they are also crucial to his development as a representative of the tone poem.
Ammirevole sinfonia di uno Strauss 20ne ,che già dimostra di avere assimilato molto dai grandi Romantici , Mendelssohn e Tchaikowsky su tutti.
Una composizione che a me piace moltissimo,che si allinea a un Raff ,un Rubinstein per fare un paragone con altri musicisti , già affermati,del suo tempo.
Questo suo lavoro di 'scuola' ,marca l'inizio verso i suoi futuri capolavori.
My major professor in another discipline said, "Do not presuppose." He meant do not assume you know what you believe is true in general. I have made presuppositions about R. Strauss which were just busted. It amazes me how often what I think I know gets in the way, and something occurs to challenge my myths. So it is with this wonderful work. If I had listened to it without seeing the name of R. Strauss I would not have guessed who wrote it.
This was written just after Strauss had heard von Bulow rehearsing the premier of Brahms 3. It belongs to his "Brahms period": Brahms heard this symphony prior to writing his 4th. Interestingly, it was premiered in New York. Strauss conducted it a few times in later life, including a radio broadcast in 1935, which sadly is lost.
Richard Straß c'est magnifique MERCI !!
Both of Strauss' symphonies are very early works and are more exercises for the greatness that was about to evolve. There's nothing wrong with them, but I can understand why they have been neglected. There are passages when you can hear the music just waiting to break through, and when it did................Wow!
First 6 notes or so in this entire thing remind me of alpensymphonie's beginning too... the dark descent representing night.
1. Allegro ma non troppo
2. Scherzo (14:40)
3. Andante Cantabile (21:42)
4. Finale Allegro (32:19)
It is a good performance and the opening theme of the first movement is a forerunner of the opening theme from Eine Alpensinfonie. Good work by Halasz and Slovak Philharmonic.
Un cóctel de orquesta bien ordenado.
This symphony, written before Strauss was 20, excites me more than ANY of the tone poems!!!!!!!!!!
Strauss the greatest genius and prodigy was 19 writing this
Played it last year in (amateur) orchestra. Such a beautiful peace. One of my all-time favorites. Very fun to play, especially in the viola section (second movement!). Not easy, but that's part of the fun.
Reminds me of the old conundrum:
How do you get two violists to play in tune with each other?
..................Ask one of them to leave. Ha Ha Ha.
Thanks. I always appreciate the opinions of those who have actually played the work they evaluated on TH-cam. Most of the comments (from those who have not performed the work) are not worth much, even though I'm interested to hear other classical music lovers' responses to a particular (especially live) performance.
... bis zum Geniestreich des "Don Juan" (1888) - und der von ihm gefundenen eigenen beeindruckenden Tonsprache - dauert es noch ein paar Jahre; mit dem Violinkonzert, der "Burleske" , auch bereits mit "Macbeth", schält sich immer mehr der zunehmend bedeutender werdende Komponist des 20. Jahrhunderts heraus ... verdienstvolles musikhistorisches Dokument ...
The conductor is Michael Halasz.

James Levee Gracias por su comentario.
De nada.
MAESTRO JAMES LEVEE MERCI !!
Had Strauss died at 20 these works would have put him into the Pantheon musicalis. His later achievements occluded these wonderful early works.
He used some themes here in his Alpensymphonie..
Strauss was not a violinist and had no appreciation for how difficult his string writing was, even in this early work. His horn concertos, his Burlesque (for piano), and his violin sonata are also works which are not easily identifiable as having flowed from his pen, to use a well-worn cliche. The Slovak Philharmonic plays this very, very well. Very enjoyable this is. Thank you!!!
He was well aware of that i can assure you. He WAS a violinist, and thats why he could write such sophisticated strings in his epic tone poems.
elements of schuman and mahler redfined... Mendelsshon type ending.... i like it :) stirring music
Hardly ever played in regular concerts, this Symphony, composed at age 19, can match all the war-horses. It concludes with a magnificent hymn tune rather like the Mendelssohn Reformation. Why do conductors overlook this?
Maybe because most of them have never heard of it.
I keep hearing a Star Wars motif in the 1st movement (first heard at 0:21). I think John Williams was inspired by this work.
Dimenticavo: un grazie è saluto a Ignacio per il perfetto caricamento.
excelente. Gracias por esta maravillosa música
This symphony is the best work he ever wrote! I'm not looking for originality; I'm looking for enjoyment and excitement and this has plenty of it!
what???! Have you heard his 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' or 'Der Rosenkavalier', 'Salomé', 'Elektra'?? You need to listen to those works!!!
Because your ears not yet used to the early 20th century sound. It is a musical journey, and it takes time. The more you listen the more it will progress.
@@MehdiD.Ardebili I assume that he has, or else he wouldn't have dared to make this remark.
So we hear the Force theme from star wars...
Star Wars inspiration is also found in the first movement of Arnold Bax's symphony no. 1 as well as the main theme for Korngold's King's Row. Maybe also in the latter half of John Alden Carpenter's first symphony.
I would rather listen to Richard Strauss' early and late orchestral works than his most popular tone poems.
Wow....That's so Strange!
Very strange opinion indeed. Most of his late orchestral works are tone poems.
poetic completed symphony
Whom is the painting from ?
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)
@ What is the name of the painting ?
@@pedrambargassa7321 The ruins of Eldena in the Giant Mountains (1830-35)
There a recording of this work by Neeme Järvi and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra that is so much better it isn't funny. Particularly the last two movements get a life that is sadly lacking in Halasz ponderous interpretation here.
You´re absolutely wright. Jarvii´s is superior.
Uh guys...there's a reason the Tone Poems (extended) set the world on fire and this ain't it. It's as good a foreshadow as Shostakovich's 1st, but a pale shadow at that. (I include the operatic suites in that summary. I personally can't stand Strauss' vocal writing, including the Four Last Songs, but the orchestral suites make up for it).
