- That "buzzy bee" sound is written in the score. The strings play trills in both ascending and descending chromatics.
- As for the 9th mvt, no compassion is needed! It's titled "The Hut of Baba Yaga", and depicts a grotesque witch in flight on? a chase. Ravel would appreciate Gergiev's interpretation.
- Lastly, this is the NHK Symphony Orchestra of Japan. These spectacular musicians are Japanese.

Thank you very much ... By: leboutet1. on 16 Oct 10, 07:01:00 Thank you very much for the news on the CD release and this great document. I have only La mer by Ansermet and was interested in knowing about his German repertory. As the other comments say, the orchestra is not what it is today but the conduct line is so clear? that the performance stands very well.
Dear folks,
This ... By: JohnFromRI10. on 01 Jul 10, 07:10:12 Dear folks,
This month I found out that Decca released a ton of Ansermet's recordings [June 2010]. The symphonies of Brahms, Beethoven, and some Schumann are available in the 2 CD albums which list for about $18 on Amazon. I am getting them cheaper.
I always consider that Ansermet was as great as Toscanini who ignored Ansermet's famous? French and Russian repertoire. Decca also released a number of these terrific albums. Happy listening
Yipeeee!!!!!! ... By: Phalces. on 22 Jan 10, 01:26:35 Yipeeee!!!!!! Ansermet? Beethoven is sublime

He does a miraculous job here. How he would love to see how the NHK has changed and improved!
Ansermet is also a ... By: Phalces. on 29 Sep 09, 06:29:50 Ansermet is also a great, great interpreter of Beethoven . Unfortunately almost none are available on CD. His? Symphony 5 is perfection itself.
Ansermet deserves ... By: billyguns2. on 08 Mar 09, 17:51:22 Ansermet deserves to have many of his great recordings available on YouTube; if you or someone could share his Falla:Three Cornered Hat, Ravel Orchestral? Works, and Albeniz IBERIA it would be heaven!
If you can find it, ... By: moosatious. on 12 Oct 08, 00:39:28 If you can find it, get the Orfeo release? of the same work with Ansermet and a European Orchestra (can't remember which one). As good or better than this, and incredibly good sound

The Finale is the ... By: AJNorth1. on 20 Jun 09, 02:16:22 The Finale is the apotheosis of Bruckner's mighty 8th (aptly named "The Apocalyptic") and creates a triad with? the perfect melding of the Heroic, the Tragic and the Eternal.
Lovro von Matacic has a profound understanding of this extraordinary work. His conception is dead-on, and the NHK follow his lead, acquitting themselves quite well, with the tympanist getting special mention.
The Old Lion exited the podium on the fourth day of 1885; this may well be his final gift to Bruckner - and us.

Yes, Supraphon did ... By: dhollingw. on 24 Feb 09, 13:32:56 Yes, Supraphon did reissue the CD of Matacic with the Czech Philharmonic in Bruckner's 5th Symphony. But I honesty would not recommend it. The performance? overall is fine and well executed, but the spiritual qualities found in Jochum's last performance of the work with the Concertgebouw Orchestra (Tahra 247) are missing. Worse still, he made cuts in the coda of the work and sort of reorchestrated it to include a cymbal and triangle. What's wrong with keeping it as is? But do try the Jochum!!!!

Considering what Mahler had gone through and was still going through, I've always seen this symphony and particularly it's ending as embodying the painful numbness experienced after something incredibly traumatic; the? ending is utterly devoid of 'tune' for a reason. Just my interpretation.
I'm having trouble ... By: 11000001100000. on 10 Feb 10, 05:38:48 I'm having trouble enjoying this symphony compared with his 2, 5, 6 or 8. It reminds me of? what Hanslick said of Bruckner: "dismal longwindedness", almost like Schoenberg in its tunelessness.

what gets me is how ... By: Hexachloraphine. on 14 Dec 08, 20:16:08 what gets me is how many classical music afficionados with a broad taste have still not yet come to discover this symphony, which is undoubtedly one of the greatest ever symphonic works, if not the greatest.
I find this performance to be halfway between the indulgence of bernstein and the otherworldly distance of abbado which is perfect for my taste, I? do find definately though that the YouTubes sound qaulity does not quite do this extraordinary performance justice...yet

By: pianomatteo. on 21 Aug 08, 15:56:05 i think the most beautiful part is not necessarily how beautiful the piece is, dont get me wrong? this is probably the most heart-wrenching piece for me to listen to, but also the fact that the crowd was so pulled in to the music that there was a good 15-20 seconds of dead silence after the orchestra cut out. excellent excellent.

It is hard to imagine what it was like to listen to this music when it was first played, since it seems to have been adopted by lots of filmmusic. That may be the fate of every art work. Despite a specific context against which it is created, it cannot but be reinterpreted endlessly. "The Absence of Fact in Art"? Does it stop there?

By: BrucknerMotet. on 28 Jun 10, 07:48:17 5:25 - I love the way Mahler leads off here with a simple (but hauntingly beautiful) motif on the violin and repeats it four times beginning at five minutes and fifty-two minutes, making sure that each repeat is orchestrated each time with new feeling, leading to what you think is a fifth repeat but which is really the intro (with french horn) to the passage that lasts from six minutes twenty seconds all the way to seven minutes and nineteen seconds when M-W cannot help but? shake with approval.
1:58 - watch ... By: BrucknerMotet. on 28 Jun 10, 07:34:04 1:58 - watch through to the moment at two minutes and twenty seconds when M-W nods his head in vigorous approval of the timing and dynamic control being executed by the string? section. He's obviously pleased with the way the strings handled the thrilling build-up to that simple and lovely french horn melody.

Russian composer, ... By: Bouncybon. on 20 Apr 10, 20:23:23 Russian composer, Japanese orchestra, ailing American conductor - the international language of music. It's difficult to accept that Andre? is old now, and - it seems - not very well. For so many years he looked and dressed like a student. Previn is courteous, gentle, good-humored, charming - and look how sweet they are to him at the end - the musicians in Japan. It's very beautiful to hear and to watch.

Hey you all, it is ... By: hootersnooter. on 10 Mar 10, 08:32:12 Hey you all, it is not the conductor, or any of the musicians.....it is Rachmaninov, a giant of a composer. Don't ever forget that the vast (and I do mean vast) amount of orchestral musicians - and conductors don't compose....and in my humble view, the composer stands heavens above mere mortal musicians and conductors - where would they all be if there were no composers of Rachmaninov's fabulous quality - looking at? blank music sheets!

By: Rasterius. on 20 Mar 11, 14:41:37 this is a masterful performance of a stunning movement, I just hope we can keep producing compositions of this nature in music, instead of becoming? absorbed in academia and atonal modern music. Notice some of the motifs in this symphony are used in rach 3, and other works. Does anyone know any composers similar to rachmaninoff? I'm thinking the russian five?
Rachmaninov's music ... By: Shadelassy. on 12 Feb 11, 23:08:46 Rachmaninov's music , if you have? listened to his stuff during the beginning of his career, are quite revolutionary and he's criticized badly because it's not the tune that was common at that time. I would say, his between the Classic - Modern Music. If you really want Classic, check the much older artists before him. :) Good luck and have fun !

By: robinho1979. on 19 Jun 10, 12:45:30 I'm only just started appreciating classical music when I stumbled on this piece by Rachmaninov Symphony no.2 Adagio..it's absolutely brilliant..makes me either want to ice-skate or walk in the wilderness. I noticed I like the slower paced music (Adagios...I'm only learning the terms to classical music..so much to learn) Can someone please give me a list of peices closest or similar to Rachmaninov Sym 2 Adagio, I also like Mascagni? Intermezzo, Saint saens the swan, Shostakovitch Romance
I completely agree ... By: mmaybrown. on 13 Jun 10, 02:02:12 I completely agree with you. Yes he writes a lot of tones that are not conventional to classical music, but that is what's makes? his music so beautiful! He uses those diminished and augmented chords that make the music so lush and tasteful.

does anyone know what form the third movement is in? is it basically theme and variations but sort of ternary as well as there are three themes??? any ideas greatly appreciated!
Thank God (whoops) ... By: gerhold101. on 10 Mar 10, 21:38:46 Thank God (whoops) someone states the reality of the sheer endeavour that creates a symphony that? interweaves a multitude of instruments into a cohesive whole. To do this and end up with a thing of beauty such as this symphony - well this is no miracle ascribable to God (whatever that may or may not be) it is Rakhmaninov's achievement alone. All around beautiful creations are ascribed to God (and famous war and football victories etc) yet the bad stuff is always human responsibility.
Rachmaninoff wasn't ... By: IVlr3vil. on 24 Feb 10, 20:18:34 Rachmaninoff wasn't just talented, he worked hard to achieve his goals. You got to give him some effort. I hate it when people keep praising some deity for his music. Had he not fallen into depression and had it not been for his psychiatrist, there would? be no symphony no. 2 there would be no piano concerto no. 2. He fought hard to get out of depression and to marry his cousin which the church denied. And it's the same church that's praising his music? God damn it.

You appear to have ... By: fctchk. on 06 Feb 10, 01:29:53 You appear to have quite the extraordinarily detailed knowledge of the source of Mr. Rachmaninov's capabilities: a deity and a masculine one at that!
Could you perhaps also specify which god? Was it the god of the Russian Orthodox church which meddled in his marriage? The Catholic 3 in 1 god? Allah and his prophet? One of the Hindu gods? Zeus? Poseidon? Ra? Or your very own personal god?
Sergei's (not a man of religious? observances) god it was most definitely not.

Let's face it: the majority of people don't want to give glory to anybody or anything but themselves. It's? entirely human to wish to deny God, but it doesn't make it any more right!
I just wish that all of us men can come to repentance and salvation before it is too late...
Either way, the very ending makes one wonder if he was thinking about his 1st symphony (that Dies-Irć derived theme sounds like a major-version of opening theme of the earlier work, as in Op.45)...
Amjíń!!!! [Amen!] ... By: LJBSasha. on 17 Jan 10, 22:58:42 Amjíń!!!! [Amen!]
For me, this piece is the height of bittersweetness - this truly is music of love and SORROW, like when one's lamenting the irretrievable loss of something or somebody exceedingly dear? (with which or whom you're desperately in love) and having to let go. It almost feels near the end like Rakhmáńinov's answer to Wagner's "Liebestod" at the end of "Tristan und Isolde".
Not for sunrise but sunset IMHO. To God Truly be the Glory for Rakhmáńinov's talent!!!

Hi, MikeNorth0101. Just a few friendly corrections: - That "buzzy bee" sound is written in the score. The strings play trills in both ascending and descending chromatics. - As for the 9th mvt, no compassion is needed! It's titled "The Hut of Baba Yaga", and depicts a grotesque witch in flight on? a chase. Ravel would appreciate Gergiev's interpretation. - Lastly, this is the NHK Symphony Orchestra of Japan. These spectacular musicians are Japanese.

At 2:00 whats all that 'buzzy bee" sound? I never heard that before? Daniel Barenboim has never included that? Is that on the score even? It's way too fast (in places but not others) and has no compassion. I think Ravel would have been disappointed. However they are clever? these Chinese, bless em

I love "Pictures" and have listened to many versions of it . This is absolutely the best version of "Hut on Fowl's Legs" I have ever heard, very fierce and energetic, love its fast tempo. But I think "Great Gate of Kiev" was too fast. It needs to be slower, the opening notes need to be pulled out, to get the full majesty of the Great Gate. But this is certainly the definitive version of? the"Hut"!!
