I can't praise anymore this orchestra and specially Mr. Estrada because I'm out of superlatives. I have heard (seen) most of the recordings they made and I am always astonished with the beauty and perfection of each one. I've heard this piece more than a hundred times in my life but never with such atention to detail, such working with the dynamic relations, timing, and everything that brings this piece so much alive and emotional. Hope for a very long career to this orchestra and specially Mr.Estrada who is, in my view, a godsend to the art of music.

I love this orchestra, this conductor and this beautiful music. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear it. All good wishes...

Great symphony by the genius of Rachmaninoff supported by a brilliant orchestra and conductor!

Adore this conductor and this orchestra. What a gift to You Tube and we who appreciate from afar!! Thank you!

You lucky people in Frankfurt -- what a marvelous performance, the orchestra sounds marvelous, and the young maestro gets this powerful set of dances just right. Ich kann nur staunen, und danken, danken, DANKEN!!

Wonderful performance! And thank to Frankfurt Radio Symphony for not monetizing your super videos with ads interrupting. So grateful to you.

So glad I found this. The Symphonic Dances is one of my all time favorite works and I'm a huge fan of Andres Orozco-Estrada. He is a master conductor. You can feel his passion but unlike so many modern conductors, he doesn't make it all about HIM.

1. Non allegro 0:30 2. Andante con moto (Tempo di valse) 12:33 3. Lento assai 22:55 Allegro vivace 33:03

I love Rachmaninoff and have listened to almost all of his music. I can't say this is better or that is better but what I can say is they are all brilliant! What a wonderful concert, a fabulous orchestra and a very charismatic and intelligent conductor!

Beautifully sensitive performance of a tonal tapestry of multi-emotions. For me, one of Rachmaninoff's very best compositions. What a stimulating performance! Bravo! Bravo!

What fun it is to watch this pro orchestra play Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, which I've heard in recordings for years and years. Yes, I enjoy hearing the work played well, as it is here, but to SEE the orchestra play it is a rare treat!

Andres Orosco Estrada. Un orgullo para los Antioquia. Felicitaciones a Nora porque con su esfuerzo y dedicación forjó un gran hombre.

It’s a joy to see Orosco-Estrada conducting, he really dances the music with all his fibres. And the orchestra responds so beautifully. He’s putting a spell not only on the orchestra but also on me, the listener. Bravissimo!

One of my favorite performances of this masterpiece. Orozco-Estrada has the right feeling for this music.

Beautiful. This piece is the first work of Rachmaninov that I heard live. I was hooked!

Sehr flüssige und zugleich rhythmische Aufführung dieser romantischen Tänze. Die Töne der Solovioline und der Solooboe sind echt wunderschön!.

A great masterpiece of the 20th Century....the saxophone is not only perfect for that incredible solo...it is one of those once ever or one off things that can hardly be repeated. I LOVE the "haunted waltz" that is the second movement...

Rachmaninov counts to one of my most favorite composers. He understands to enchant my heart with his endlessly wonderful spirit. My god, what would we do without great Russian composers like him

Los jóvenes directores latinoamericanos están rompiendo el paradigma del director de orquesta encartonado, inexpresivo, con movimientos lineales y reservado a un selecto grupo de "conocedores". La música es el lenguaje universal y la danza hace parte de su naturaleza.

Non conoscevo il direttore orozco devo dire che e' stata una scoperta eccezionale i miei complimenti x questa bellissima esperienza

Quanti grandi direttori qua dentro, a giudicare dai giudizio quasi astiosi. Ma che bevete, veleno? Se aveste un po' di amor proprio e di serietà ammirereste un giovane direttore alle prese con musica non facile ed una splendida orchestra. Per caso, siete invidiosi?

Majestuosa obra, magnífico director, Andrés Orozco Estrada, un Colombiano con estrella de talla internacional. ¡Orgullo patrio!

Sergei Rachmaninov left our world with this sublime last work/composition of his! He was living near Los Angeles CA when he wrote this.

This the best, the most sensitive, best balanced, and, in BEST TASTE!!!! His Bel Canto Lyricism is exquisite!!!!

Conductor is actually dancing in the tempo di valse. Great work

Very fluent and at the same time rhythmical performance of these romantic dances. The sounds of solo violin and solo oboe are really beautiful!

-- Andrès Orozco-Estrada élève son orchestre vers des sommets. Grandiose Symphonie, superbes sonorités. --

11:20 this part is just such a magical moment with the harp, and the chord when the strings enter is just so so beautiful

One of the outstanding features of this work is the way the piano is integrated into the tonal palette, not as a featured soloist.

El maestro Orozco Estrada tiene la capacidad de sumergirse en las profundidades de la música y sin ningún subterfugio, la eleva a dimensiones de expresividad sublimes. La orquesta, el director y el compositor de la obra parecen volar juntos como una sola entidad. Bravo!

I never, ever, expected to hear a performance of The Symphonic Dances as good as the one recorded by Kirill Kondrashin (with the Moscow Philharmonic) but this . . . this exceeds it. My thanks and my congratulations to all those who made it possible.

Redolent in parts of Ravel, Sibelius, Copland, Barber. The 20th century threw up some great composers, and I love to hear the saxophone used in "serious music". It's wonderful throughout. These FRS concerts are beautifully played, imaginatively conducted, and the sound balance is terrific. Thanks so much, European cousins.

Terrific orchestra. Great interpretation. Wonderfully played. Enthralling.

Maravilloso! Quisiera ver The Bells con este mismo director y esta misma orquesta. Me transportó muy lejos.

Произведението е много трудно дори за такъв чудесен оркестър. Поздравления!

It is a pure joy to watch these musicians deliver such a phenomenal performance. Bravo! Thank you for posting.

Me sumo a los aplausos. Y muchas gracias por este magnífico concierto.

IMHO, this is the best rendition. Was looking for this kind of performance!

Actually this is a great score and so are the musicians. Really enjoyable still seems like. A week ago it was composed great performance the MIESTRO is really putting out the best . BRAVO. BRAVO

My Favorite Orchestra!

Man, I'm totally digging the tambourines. :p :D Actually, the whole piece - you know, because it's The Rach-Man. This symphony is so mesmerizing.

Nice job by Orozco-Estrada. This piece doesn't play itself and can die if the conductor doesn't put a lot of his own personality and energy into the performance.

I admire the talent of the incomparable Mr. Orozco-Estrada!! Brilliant performance of a world masterpiece!

Me siento orgulloso del talento de los Latinoamericanos... muy estimulante esta bella dirección.

Always is a pleasure to listen Rachmaninow, over and over again.

Иногда качество звукозаписи разительно изменяет восприятие произведения. До прослушивания этого исполнения эталоном интерпретации "Симфонических танцев" для меня являлся Кирилл Кондрашин.

Rachimaninoff's melody is bravely , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind Without Rachmaninoff and his great performers such as these performers and a splendid conductor , the classical music would have been very lonely and insipid , And the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been less From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

Très belle interprétation de cette superbe symphonie !!!! Merci !!!

Ultra-Romantic, atmospheric, energetic, dramatic, and exciting, this is one of Rachmaninoff's finest works, and with his three symphonies constitutes a high point in Russian orchestral literature - masterpieces all. This is a somewhat puzzling interpretation however; after a sprightly opening movement and normally-paced 'andante', it seems to lose momentum in the finale with a slackening of tempo that allows the listener's interest to wane somewhat. I've heard and enjoyed a few of Orozco-Estrada's FRSO efforts on YT, but he can be surprising in his approach to the music. I do get the impression that he considers each composer and style on an individual basis, which is a definite plus, and a quality some conductors don't have.

me siento positivamente impresionado! Hermosa música, gran director y grande orquesta! :)

There has been discussion about whether the beautiful saxophone solo was a tribute to Glazunov, who had written a nice sax concerto, but had also made a dog's breakfast of the first performance of Rachmaninov's First Symphony. If so, that shows a touching generosity from a composer who probably knew this was his last composition and died soon after it was completed. One can hear a resume of all of his previous works and memories in what I think was his masterpiece.

It's a symphony that wants to make me dance

Wunderbar!

Fresh, glorious playing of a Rachmaninov masterpiece

Opera fenomenale!!! Bravi tutti.....

best orchestra on KZfaq! lol

Superb in every way. Wow.

32:21 is my favourite bar in the entire piece. There's just something about the D flat Lydian tonailty that crushes me. 😭

awesome sounds

32:34 - 33:05 is like a musical hug

Шикарно!)))

Forte, More! Forte EXPRESSIVO!

Just the right amount of 'laissez-vibre' :-)

I want to STRPONGLY EMPHASIZE that this was the last/final musical composit ion by the great Sergei Rachmaninoff who died on April 1, 1943, almost like his death was an unwelcome "April Fool's" day joke.

Thanks

stunning !

Yet another very good,HD squeaky clean & polished,esthetically appealing rendition-very suave and elegant,indeed.. But where has all sense of despair gone,"the outburst of Heart" as Rachmaninov himself put it,the magic of Blinding Collision of Light and Darkness? (( And yet,Andrés Orozco-Estrada is superb!

GRANDE!

4:39 ❤️😭 36:05

wunderful

Con la Dodecafonia si aprono nuovi scenari per la Musica Classica 👑🎩🎼🎶🎶🎶🎷🎺🎻🎻🥁🌌🌠🌅🌄

Perfection, really perfection. Lo Clara flute!

It would be good if the audience could hold their applause at little while longer to let the tam-tam vibrate at the end without interruption

This is terrific!

Wonderful work, fantastic orchestration... the only oddity is the strange tam-tam ending...

Impeccable performance of one of my favorite pieces. I know this is TV and not expecting a super-hi-fi recording, but the audio compression is ridiculous. A bass clarinet solo is louder than the full orchestra, and when everyone is blasting away fortissimo, the sound actually gets quieter!

THAT FLAUTIST IS THE GREATEST PLAYER ON KZfaq...MARVELOUS....

В первой части похожую мелодию я слышал у Свиридова.

11:20 is just pure poetry.

❤

#quarksundco :) Toll!

... und Nick aus der "Schönheitslinie" von Alan Hollinghurst mag sie ja auch - mit Recht.

22:09 is Rachmaninoff sitting on the left? xD

Love the tunic... Did you get that at Mao's estate sale? More weight; it's marked NON allegro after all.

Quarks & Co.

Un poco leggero, con poco mordente, appena sufficiente!

10:00 Germans know what I'm talking about...

I’m just wondering why is Ted Mosby the conductor?

I. Non allegro - Lento - Tempo I 3:02 4:04 6:09 7:01 9:40 11:22 II. Andante con moto (Tempo di Valse) 15:07 15:40 16:40 III. Lento assai - Allegro vivace - Lento assai come prima - Allegro vivace 25:40 26:20 33:00 Allegro vivace 36:02 Final

Клас

9:59 Wer das Quarks & Co Intro sucht :)

21:00

Did the sax player miss a note at exactly 5:12?

I'm all in favour of encouraging new talent but on this account at least, this young man still has a long way to go before being lauded as being very special. You only have to listen to Svetlanov's recording of the Symphonic Dances to realize that it's a world away in dynamics and rhythm, so much more exciting. Still, he's young and hopefully will develop into a first rate conductor, there is a real shortage of them today!
