Tchaikovsky is always considered a romantic composer. But i.m.o. his music is the catharsis of all symphonic creations before him. Outrageous, melodious, wild, unpredictable, divine. Never pretentious, like Wagner. About his own work he was always worrying, touchy, vulnerable. He must have been a sympathetic person, with lots of empathy.
". his music is the catharsis of all symphonic creations before him. Outrageous, melodious, wild, unpredictable, divine" isn't that the very definition of the Romantic Movement?
@@chinneths1 Possibly right. We've heard those virtues in a range of contemporary composers like Chopin, Schumann, Brahms a.o. But all qualities imo come together especially in Pjotr-T ! Apparently agreed by Igor Manasherov, conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, who gave me the 'heart'-icon.
@@chinneths1 The definition of the Romantic Movement is I’m sure as you say but it produced many 2nd rate works in addition to the greats we know so well and Tchaikovsky at his best certainly takes his place with those at the top of the list.
Tchaikovsky is the most complete composer, running the entire gamut of human and animal emotions. He throws everything at the world in a staggeringly gorgeous manner. His unrestrained restraint, humorless humor, raw refinement frees him and the listener from pretentiousness and ponderosity. He is so damnably sincere, so cruelly tender. Like a master chef, one feels fully nourished. Nothing is lacking. Silence is the only logical sequel.
The most fluent performance of this work, with accents placed where the music creates more impact, and with the right tempo to sustain the sense of drama. I started listening to this work since 30 years ago. At no time have I ever underestimated its importance and beauty among Tchaikovsky’s works. It should gather higher popularity and more appreciation from music lovers. Well done here. I only lament at the recording not capturing the double basses and the bass drum more substantially. I had to use my best headphones to get as many details as possible.
This symphonic poem has an introduction and three parts. In the introduction, the basses and the wind section of the orchestra open in dark tones suggesting the beginning of Dante's Inferno, where the author is astray from the right path into somber woods. As the music continues into the first section, the horror felt by Dante is portrayed in the music as he walks in deeper and deeper into the first circles of Hell. In the second section, the tempo picks up, the narrative takes the audience into the second circle, where Dante finds, amongst others, such as Tristan and Isolde, Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Rimini (née da Polenta) trapped together in a violent storm, whirled through the air around, violently crushed against ragged stone walls for eternity. In the third section, the music subsides, depicting Dante's request to speak with the doomed lovers (depicted by a solo clarinet), who recount their story of how Francesca was unwittingly married by proxy to Gianciotto Malatesta, Paolo's older, cruel and unattractive brother; the music continues to depict how they were unable to resist their fleshly attraction for each other and succumbed to their passion while reading a passage of the story of Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot [another pair of equally doomed lovers], depicted by the wind section supported by the strings in the moments of highest passion. The music also depicts the moment of their murder at the hands of Gianciotto, depicted by fast playing bassi and cymbals, followed by sombre horns in a requiem like theme. After their tale is over, the final section starts, depicting the eternal punishment that continues once more, leaving Dante (and the audience) in a state of shock depicted by the ominous tutti of the orchestra. Love it!! LOVE Tchaikovsky!!
Can’t believe a phone rang in the middle of the clarinet solo. Of all the times it could have rung during that performance and wouldn’t have been heard.
This music is played with an insight I've never heard from it before. The middle section (Almost always 'what you have to hear on the way from and into the good parts'.) is played here in a way that insists we listen to it. We begin to care for it in the way we care for Romeo and Juliette. The finale is now a tragic disaster as the lovers, we now care about, are dragged off to hell. Igor Manasherov is a name new to me, but I haven't heard a better performance of this work by anyone. Impeccable. Bravo.
Possibly the best performance on Y.T. (apart from Svetlanov's 1993 recording) of this remarkable and mesmerising work. Romeo & Juliet is played far more often but this is a superior composition demonstrating the genius Tchaikovsky at his best.
I just completed a survey of every recording of Francesca da Rimini available on TH-cam and this is clearly the finest! Congratulations and many thanks!
Disagree. Bernstein's performances are more sulfurous, more frightening, and more hellish. This conductor holds back. Bernsten doesn't fear to go into the depths of hell.
@@Ferdinand314 I used to think the same of Bernstein’s performances on Y.T. however on listening again to this I’m inclined to think that overall it has become my favourite.
A gorgeous clarinet solo is performed by Mr. Mikhail Oblezov, precisely starting at the 10:00 minute mark of this video! Additionally, he provides a commendable obligato passage at the 12:45 mark of this video, as well. Bravo to Mikhail and bravi to the entire Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra!
Tutti bravi! Sono già 27 anni che studiai per la 1a volta la partitura del capolavoro ciaikovskiano ,"Fr. da Rimini " ,e non ho mai sentito una interpretazione così equilibrata ,precisa ed energica da quella del maestro Manascierov e dei suoi musicisti moscoviti.
"NESSUN MAGGIOR DOLORE CHE RICORDARSI DEL TEMPO FELICE NELLA MISERIA", wrote the great Dante, in the 5th 'cerchio" of Inferno of his "Divina Commedia" and that's exactly what this "Francesca da Rim." performance expresses. Maestro Igor Manasherov's concerts are gathering momentum in Russia, as many good friends from Moscow have informed me. His repertory is always well chosen & meticulously prepared.
Спасибо!!!! Очень тронуло, до глубины души Ваше исполнение! высшая проба!!! Дальнейших Вам творческих успехов!!! Сложнейшее произведение и такая высококлассная трактовка... не знаю как Вас восхвалять... спасибо!!!!
@@igormanasherov662 , извините, мне вот так показалось... субъективное мое мнение, может и не верное. Скучновато, мало эмоций... может качество записи не очень хоршее. А вот увертюру к опере Вебера "Оберон" - лучше,чем трактовка Мравинского не слышал... И многие его выступления очень монументальны.
Surely one of the best and most exciting pieces of programme music ever written, I think Tchaikovsky's best followed closely by his Hamlet overture. Some of this music was used in the Hitchcock picture "Torn Curtain" to chilling effect especially at the point in the music where the lovers are discovered at 19.50. Also for some reason the whirlwind in this music makes me think of WW2 on the eastern front.
Muito Grato. Execução espetacular; Esta é a minha favorita de Tchaikovsky depois do movimento 4 da sinfonia 5, que a meu ver é imbatível. Parabéns ao maestro
Igor Manasherov Уважаемый маэстро, я уверен что вы, в будущее, вместе с музыкантами Московского Симф. Оркестра, будете дать нам новую отличную серию концерт росс. классической музыки, и особенно сочинений П. И. Чайковского. Браво всем. /И. А. П.
Dirección apresurada, como queriendo terminar lo antes posible, con muy poco cuidado por los detalles, a veces de forma imperdonable. La sección intermedia, con la famosa melodía, primero interpretada por las cuerdas y luego, en un pasaje sorprendente y realmente mefistofelico, repetida por los metales a toda su potencia, deja demasiado que desear. Es mucho mejor la primera sección (la descripción del infierno),y el final, que es una repetición. Aquí consigue llevar la orquesta bien cohesionada, logrando una construcción sólida de esa arquitectura extraordinaria que el inmenso compositor ruso va tejiendo(a diferencia de muchos otros músicos, Tchaikovsky no era pianista, se expresaba de forma muy limitada con el piano, no traducía del piano a la orquesta, pensaba sus obras directamente en forma orquestal, y quizás por ello sea uno de los mayores orquestadores de todos los tiempos). En conjunto, una interpretación mediocre, con una buena orquesta, que a pesar de todo se puede escuchar por la increíble calidad de esta partitura del mayor compositor ruso.

Lamentablemente la única grabación de esta obra por Chelibidache, ese extraterrestre que siempre va muchos pasos por delante de todos los demás con Tchaikovsky y con otros muchos compositores, no es una de sus tomas en directo más afortunadas.
Desafortunadamente al genio de la música Romántica lo hicieron suicidarse por eso. Yo no soy homosexual pero respeto mucho a las personas que lo son. Saludos
A fabulous performance, especially all the terrors at the end. Bravo, Maestro!
The performance is superb. it shows well the beauty of the music of this work and of the orchestration.

Beautiful piece . One of most underrated pieces of Tchaikovsky
Is beautiful really the right word to describe this?
@@FOURTEEFIVEyes!
No composer can evoke hell like Tschaikowski!!! Beautiful!!! I cry when I listen to this!!
Indeed -- his life was hell!
Excuse me? Liszt did it first in Dante symphony, which clearly inspired this piece. Both works are depictions of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Certainly one of the best recordings on TH-cam.

Have you heard Mravinsky's performance? That's the benchmark IMHO, with Fedoseyev a creditable second. This one's a bit languid for me.
