Yes. Read my comment above!

this is an absolute brilliant and beautiful performance of the 4th! Magnificent...still the greatest is Gunter Wand with NDR in 1990 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM-ImceGm8-4oGg.html

That's one thing I notice about the audience featured in this channel's videos: the applause is rather underwhelming, even when it's a particularly spectacular ending.

@Max E I like to hope you are correct. Seems to me the German & Dutch audiences are VERY subdued in their appreciation of some very great codas.

@Max E Very well. Just that when I used to attend L.A. Philharmonic programs in the Mehta & Giulini days, we were unafraid to get off our butts when when a great finish brought us near to tears. Maybe Europe is spoiled.

@Max E thanks!

tas re vivido

Yes! He’s amazing god and this person this person is blessed to be able to do this

Merveilleuse interprétation Ce que j’aime avec cette symphonie c’est que tous les mouvements sont fantastiques Le chef et l’orchestre (et la prise de son ) a la hauteur . Un grand plaisir , merci!

Your right

Jeff Duke totally agree with!

I totally agree also. Being a classical music nut discovering KZfaq was like discovering the Great Library at Alexandria...intact.

great music

Agreed, but will it also eventually become lost in a warehouse belonging to the United States Government Services Administration?

The people were just pacing themselves...LOL

Yes you are right his music is fantastic 🎉

Yes; magnificent!

yes it certainly does...moves me every time I hear the coda! Otherworldly!

@@markwalton2968 Is there a specific hour/minute/second mark when the "coda " begins...? Thank you--

@@richrol58 Yes 1:03:02 the beginning of the greatest ending of any symphony. Pure Heaven.

Bruckner's 5th and 8th also have exceptional endings. Bruckner had a knack for writings codas.

YES!!!!!! #8 is also pretty dang good too...but, this one is the best!

Stairway to Heaven!

I can’t wait tell the ending

You obviously haven't heard Mahler's 2nd, 3rd, 8th endings.

@@TC.....Mahler‘s endings aren’t bad either.

Well explained!!

Yes very some people just don’t make eny sense

The whole last movement seems a struggle between darkness and light--I think it's the most remarkable thing ever: such a kaleidoscope of emotions.

Bin auch aus seinem Land und kann dies alles nur vollinhaltlich teilen!

eu sou da rua Áustria no Brasil acho esta música plana sem dinâmica, chata e com frases muito batidas, falta criatividade.

Why did you do a dark thumbs up emoji?

@@conw_y If I have to read one more comment like this under a classical music recording I will kill myself.

Yes it ‘tis

Not really. It's full of unfinished melodies and cut motifs (trait of romantic music in general as composers tried to mimic Beethoven but couldn't). Next, there are plenty of cliches you can instantly recognize Viennese school from. It's far from emotional. I actually like it because of coldness and calculated composition. The truth is, it's too long. Whole material could be fitted into 45 minutes easily. Especially later parts are unnecessary, at 47:49 it should have ended. I would be giving you a medal if you can point at anything new past this point. 4th part sucks in general, it's like Bruckner tried to present four or five different endings of symphony one after each other for listeners to choose the one they like most. Also, its sound is overcrowded with brass section making listening a tiring experience. Next, separation between parts is unclear, all of them sounding kinda lethargic. Next, it's just not good enough. Bruckner tries to milk a few motifs in as many ways as he can never actually developing a theme or finishing even single melody. I can't hear music moving anywhere. Of course in major it's down to calculated structure of symphony. I hate places such as this at 25:32 when orchestra and audience are put in rehearsal mode.

​@@alicaramba7680so pretentious lmao "Trying to be Beethoven" Bruckner and his peers expanded the tradition of Beethoven and made it more colorful imo

I totally agree with you. This orchestra is one of the finest in Europe and this performance of this magnificent symphony has to be one of the finest interpretations . Kudos all round to the orchestra ( what a 1st horn!! ) and Maestro Inbal.

@@BritinIsrael Thank you Mr. Clive... this orchestra is just totally outstanding. Why I ask myself have we not heard of their brilliance before? I cannot wait to get out to Frankfurt to hear them for myself... we are so lucky here to have wonderful performances by them... I agree with you about the first horn!!

I cannot agree more with you. Maybe it's this particular revision of this great symphony but the sound of the strings accompanying the brass in the final pages has never sounded so magnificent. Kudos to this wonderful orchestra and Maestro Inbal for giving us a unique performance. I have lost count of the number of times i return to this recording.

Me too. I just wrote the same, a year later! And I had not scene your comment. We must both be right.

I think it is achieved by the leader and some others playing the notes on the beats as accented quavers [?} rather than the continual semiquavers, if my eyes do not deceive me from the glimpses of bowing we get.

Thanks for pointing that out! There's lots of these cross-references in each Bruckner symphony, and it's nice each time one notices a new one :)

This theme also occurs in the Scherzo of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony 😳 See e.g. at 0:46 of kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKiYrJhhmpO5nnk.html

Yes you are right

I want to as well

Bruckner! He is sometimes confused with Bruch.

The first horn part in Bruckner's 4th is a dream part.In this wonderful performance ( and recording) i have never heard such brilliant individual instrumental playing . the closing pages never fail to make my hair stand on end . Only in this Inbal performance do you hear the beautiful repetetive strings backing the brass and wind instruments in those final glorious pages.

totally agree!

Listen to Celibidache and you'll faint...

​@@richrol58 From boredom

Thanks for sharing that. I like Mahler. Going to check it out now that you mention. I find this recording to be really well done, therefore, naturally you got me interested. 😌✌🏻

Inbal recorded a Bruckner cycle with them as well. Years ago. On Warner.

Quotenwagnerianer. He made one of the worst Berlioz cycles ever with them.

He also did a great Bruckner cycle, unfortunately of the original scores.

"Unfortunately"?! The original scores are, with the exception of the 8th Symphony, vastly superiour to all later iterations.

We're essentially talking about 1,2 and 4, apart from 8. I agree with you about 8,and 1, but I don't understand how anyone can prefer the original 3 and 4. They are embryos...

3 is vastly superiour in it's first two versions. The 3rd version is an abomination that he should never have wasted his precious time with. He should have worked on the 9th instead of further mutilating the 3rd. By the way there is a reason why Bruckner did not destroy the original versions, like for example Brahms who would not publish anything until he was done with all revisions. Bruckner considered his original versions to be just as valid as the revised versions.

This coda is one of the best piece of music ever written ; ;

Love it too, but imho, Celibidache's interpretation is above all the others.

That's it!

And of course all credits for the orchestra which is my favourite KZfaq orchestra. Splendid, both musical and visual.

@@janmannee4391And all credits to the superb recording technicians.
