Das Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam has become the best orchestra in the world. These musicians really love music and they take very seriously his job like artists, not divas competing with a famous director to see who's more important. This performance is really amazing, Maestro ANDRIS is absolutely a great conductor of our time.
Nelsons loves the music and gets immersed in it. I have seen him conduct this great orchestra in both symphonic music and opera. I don't mind his antics. The orchestra plays well under him. That is all that matters.
'Antics' would perhaps imply showing off, but this conductor is just conducting, showing great enthusiasm, contagious enthusiasm, and with such a wonderful result. Great performance, great fun!
This is a great performance which would be better if we had not to look all the time to Mr. Nelsons ' gesticulation... A magical performance was recorded by Karajan in the early times of the LP (Decca) with the Vienna philharmonic and of course all of Gergiev's performances of Tchaikovsky's works are the best because it has the true Russian feeling which explodes in his performances. His Paris concerts of the full symphonies were absolutely astounding (they can be found on youtube I think and have been recorded on dvd)
@Richard Williams I have just looked at the score for what is annotated as the "3rd version" and the timp part finishes with a 4 bar roll, followed by a crotchet stroke on the last note.
+James Millen I was not criticising the orchestra, James, who are wonderful throughout, merely the conductor's interpretation of the piece. I hope we're still allowed to do that...?
I have heard the C'gebouw again and again, great. And I recently heard the Berliner play the 'Leningrad', a performance that will remain with me forever. Please, no lists, no competition, enjoy the music.
The viewer needs to remember that the conductor is controlling the orchestra. Those people that don't like the mannerisms of the conductor need to not watch him,or her, or sit in the back row. Andris Nelsons is highly respected by the orchestras he conducts, or he would be out of business. This is one of the top orchestras in the world, in one of the great halls. The whole event sounds great, looks super, and is a success.
I'm afraid you critics and "cheerleaders" are missing the point. Classical music was the popular music of its day, so , in the final analysis, the only opinion that matters is the one of the individual listener. Whether a novice, or a expert musician, the question to be answered is, "Was it enjoyable"? If yes,then the first time listener might get hooked and become a paying subscriber and support the performers. Otherwise, if you can't say anything nice,then. . . .
Tchaikosky is full of cheap tricks - repeated chromatic flourishes and endless repeated harmonics on the harp - yet the music succeeds because of the beauty of his melodic invention.
I don't want to start a fistfight here (!) but I completely disagree about Tchaikovsky's level of harmonic, sequential and architectural skill. I've loved Tchaik for 50 years now and I do get rather tetchy with people who say he 'gets by' because of the level of his melodic invention. I hope you don't take this personally - it's a genuine disagreement. All good wishes.
I think it's a bit ungenerous to say this is not a good performance. Of course it's not one of the best around, just listen (Y.T.), for instance, to Valery Gergiev/LSO who puts so much more drama into the music. Good would best describe Nelsons in this instance but by no means great.
I'm totally with the previous commenter. I'm completely turned off by this conductor, and don't know how the hell he manages to conduct all these first-rate orchestras!
Such a careless performance. Good in parts but the whole lacks integrity. Just one case in point, the timpani roll stops at the last chord in Tchaikovsky's score. Tchaikovsky really did know what he was doing. Such a shame...
I agree. I hate conductors who take spineless liberties with the score and try to make it their creation. And yes, the composer knew very well what he was doing. I'm a composer, and if a conductor diddles with my score in such a fashion, I'll beat him like a gong. As you stated,Tchaikovsky does stop the drum roll on the last held out note.( And it's magnificent.) Overall, I found the performance rather insipid and lacking great passion. Also, the love theme on both accounts were rushed.
Great orchestra, poor conductor: his smart eyes seach the score almost every bar. What the devil he's looking for already in the first bar? Can't he remember two notes? So it's impossible to show the magic moments to the orchestra - nevertheless they play with inspiration...
Beautyful musik, very good performance, and perfect camerawork. Thank you for uploading.

Great orchestra.... and moving music si beatiful thanks

Das Concertgebouworchester hat einen herrlich homgenen, subtilen, verführerischen Klang. Zu Recht die Nr. 1 in der Welt!
Great the conductor.. thans for this ...i played different times a good memory for me🥰🥰
Perfection!!! So much passion in the slow parts, they really know how to make music.
Thank you for this high quality music video!
Great performance!!!

John Butcher You are certainly right.
'Antics' would perhaps imply showing off, but this conductor is just conducting, showing great enthusiasm, contagious enthusiasm, and with such a wonderful result. Great performance, great fun!
Wunderbar! Tchaikosky is Genius! Bravo Nelsons
I remember Andris. Young boy. Came to the orchestra. Trumpeter. Latvian National Opera. And now? Chief conductor of the Boston orchestra!
Трагическая музыка. Прекрасное исполнение.🎻🎻🎺🎺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐💐
Bellissimo!! Non ho parole...
I like the tuba guy at 16:23 on.
Fantastic romanico musi...i love this
P.I.Tchaikovsky ! Grande musica ! Un'esecuzione perfetta e incantevole.

I just can't stop seeing a young Jansons over there :)
Martijn Dendievel lol that’s sooo true

An unusual timpani role at the end. I like it.
@Richard Williams I have just looked at the score for what is annotated as the "3rd version" and the timp part finishes with a 4 bar roll, followed by a crotchet stroke on the last note.
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is now listed as the best symphony orchestra in the world. So your dislike comments are USELESS..
+James Millen I was not criticising the orchestra, James, who are wonderful throughout, merely the conductor's interpretation of the piece. I hope we're still allowed to do that...?
The best orchestra of the world, period. Sorry Berliner Philharmoniker you sucks!
too fast for my taste
I have heard the C'gebouw again and again, great. And I recently heard the Berliner play the 'Leningrad', a performance that will remain with me forever. Please, no lists, no competition, enjoy the music.
Maybe we don't have here the best Nelsons. My favourite version still is by Stokowski.
And Munch 1956 recording.

Perfectly said.
WONDERFUL
BRAVO!!
wow! nice performence!
Great job
Очень красиво.
Als je vanaf 18' durft een diminuendo in te bouwen...dan ben je echt een groot musicus!
Bellissima esecuzione
Super muzyka
Impresionante
Great to have him in Leipzig.
Esta música é muito linda. Boa performance, tenho uma excelente gravação com Karajan e Filarmonica de Berlim.

13:35 die is echt het meest bekendste.
13:34 disaster...
どうしてファゴットとクラリネットの位置が逆なのですか？
GENIUS? MAH!!!!
08:31 - Principal horn player: "Fuck it, that's my solo!"
Hahaha It's true.

ずいぶんと淡白なマエストロだね。

Когда гений что-то создает, многим кажется, что это очень просто.

cameronpaul yea true the one at BBC proms was alot better by the LSO
Schade, weit entfernt von tiefempfunden.
I'm totally with the previous commenter. I'm completely turned off by this conductor, and don't know how the hell he manages to conduct all these first-rate orchestras!
You are a certified idiot!

Karl, where can I listen to your songs?
Great orchestra, poor conductor: his smart eyes seach the score almost every bar. What the devil he's looking for already in the first bar? Can't he remember two notes? So it's impossible to show the magic moments to the orchestra - nevertheless they play with inspiration...
Yeh this Conductor is terrible he should be conducting a community orchestra instead.
