Let's give an applause to the amazing camera works 👏

Sensational. I can't believe this is for free.

The quality of production is out of this world!

A masterly performance! It was a great pleasure to listen to. I am very impressed, thank you very much.

Mäkelä is a superstar.

Just wonder how magnificent Mr. Johann will compliment this spectacular creation. Thank you Klaus and thank you Great Orchestra.❤

What a combination - Brahms and the Oslo Philharmonic led by the fantastic Klaus Makela! A dream!

Super conductor!!!!he is the best. I am shocked. so young too...

Klaus conducts the Symphony in a confident way. I look forward to his mature performance a decade later.

I'm so happy to hear such a beautiful music lying on my bed

Klaus Mäkelä uses music as a vector of communication to give it meaning, even significance, as it is the case in this superb interpretation of Brahms' Symphony No.4. Touch by touch like a painter, he appropriates the score and creates, according to his temperament, his mood, a unique musical atmosphere. It is with his own network of sensory correspondences that he perceives an aggregate of syntheses, tensions and mental and emotional dynamics. It is my second favorite interpretation after Carlo Maria Giulini live concert with the Los Angeles. Thanks to the Oslo Phil Orch for this video !

I love watching these musicians feel the music they play with their movements, and I am smitten with Klaus' energy every time he leads. Every time.

Thank you because you recreated one of the greatest symphonies ever written. And thank you Herr Brahms. Through this music you will live forever and that it as it should be,

Thanks, Oslo Philharmonic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greetings from Finland... Happy Midsummer ▫️ Hyvää Juhannusta ❕

The last movement is on my top 5 list of favorite pieces of music. Brahms was such a genius. The beauty in his music is unsurpassed.

Happy Birthday Klaus Makela 🇫🇮!

The orchestra is excellent. And comfortable with the conductor. Who is outstanding.

Ah, I'm in love, Romanticism at her beautifully sensitive moment.

This is a wonderful piece by Brahms. And thank you for the wonderful performance.

The future of classical gets even brighter with every Movement of Klaus Mäkelä’s hand. All the subtle movements, and expressions he makes has me under the impression he commands but also enjoys being on the receiving end just as much. I always end up with a rollercoaster of emotions whilst listening to the pieces performed by Oslo Philharmonic with Klaus. These talented musicians that pour their time, emotions, and love for music are always such a bliss to listen to even to someone who doesn’t play an instrument like me. I’d love to see them in concert someday

...es fehlen die Worte...himmlisch...

This has to be the finest recording of this Symphony I have ever heard -- and I have heard many! Bravo! Brahms himself would have been as moved as much as I was!

Agony, immortality, sorrow, human philosophy, yearning for GOD, those are the expected in Brahm's 4. More abundant harmony and communications between instruments based on more open and dispersed harmonies. Years later, I do expect Makela will be shoulder to shoulder with GREAT MAESTROES.

I think I've found the true genius. Thank you from Tokyo.

The Muses granted Johannes Brahms the opportunity to leave Heaven, take a day off, and visit Oslo. This is what happened, as documented in this video. Brahms and the Muses are most pleased, keeping open Heaven's doors so that all in heaven can listen in to this divine performance.

Woodwinds and brass are superb.

Klaus Mäkelä is such an excellent young conductor!

This recording is exceptionally good. Mäkelä is such a bright conductor, really at the service of the music,, the Oslo Philharmonic has really a nice sound, passionate but precise for all the instruments. The sound is so well layered, but at the same time the parts are so clear, and that is also thanks to the acoustics of this place and the careful and intelligent microphone recording.

Mr. Makela it's indeed a brilliant reality he's no longer a young generation musician with great future. As a Director he show us a deeply maturity in his management specially in the exquisite dialogue in between the strings and the oboes at the end of the first movement. This is music at it's essence, the orchestra have such a great communication with him, seems like reading his commands in advance. Fantastic ensemble and gorgeous results.

This is one of my very favorite symphonies ever! And Klaus Makela is my favorite conductor! And Oslo Philharmonic is my favorite orchestra! Therefore, it's perfect in every way... 🥰

Brahms I love you

Beautiful concert. This is my favorite of the Brahms symphonies.

Beautiful

One of Brahms' brilliant pieces. I really like this composer!

L'Andante moderato è di una bellezza insuperabile!

Beautiful to Purple flowers in front.

Looking for Shostakovich's "Leningrad" symphony I met this conductor; I loved his version and from then on, I am a follower of his work. Without a doubt a great director and artist! Greetings from Chile!

Thank you, Oslo Phillarmonic.

This wonderful performance reiterates the point of how each conductor’s interpretation of a work reveals nuances not heard in that of others. After listening to a half dozen other conductors treat this piece, for the first time I can actually hear the part of the strings under the oboes towards the end of the first movement at 25:30. What a revelation!! Therein lies the beauty and glory of classical music. It would require many lifetimes to fully appreciate it all, and even that would not be long enough. Thank you Oslo Philharmonic for this joyous musical gift!

聴いてるだけで心が癒されていくw最高の演奏ですw

Esta obra me atrapó desde el primer movimiento. Traté de escucharla con otros conductores consagrados de mayor renombre, y ninguno le daba (en mi humilde e ignorante opinión) la dulzura que le impregna Mäkelä. Un verdadero deleite para los oídos.

Oh! How stunning Brahms it is. I happened to listen to on youtube. There are so many various theme, rhythm and articulation, also dynamism too. they say Brahms music is so difficult to appreciate his composition, especially how to combine every theme with a built -in changing suitable tempo which is concerned with his musical spirit and colorful thought. I would feel we might not to play through out in the same speed, because he had so many musical idea and graceful heart. Occasionally I used to listen to Yang Karajan No.4 with BPO. depend on my inclination. Anyway I would appreciate Oslo Philharmonic's calm, sound and sensibility so much.(soon be 91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.

I was dying waiting for this 🖤

So extraordinarily lovely, what a treat. Thank you so much from America, I have subscribed as I am now addicted to your incredible orchestra and magical conductor. 🤍💙🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow, so differnt rendition comparing to Karajan, Celelidache, Kleiber, very nice.. and Makela is soo young,talented and handsome... amazing

Without a doubt the loveliest performance of this piece I have heard and will ever hear.

I'm honored to witness this 💕

A fantastic concert conducted by one of the greatest musician in the world.

His conducting is strangely impressive. Like his choice of costume...and the knowing smiles, eyes. His body swaying in the wind like a reed, more smiles, eyes...an Actor, an Interpreter of Suave Force and a Public to his own Orchestra. All the while...dressed like a Waiter. That's what i see and hear. A Paradox. His treatment of this Majestic Work is ample proof of his command of the Atmosphere on the staff. He may be, only 25 but his uncanny habit of downplaying his baton's movements and his own body's... to the point of near-immobilism is good enough for me and my full attention. This young man is next on the Stellar Front of Conductors. He breathes command even when he doesn't do anything but move as little as possible. In other words...he is integral part of the Orchestra and the Work. Not on a Demonstration trip like so many others who...want to give a clear Impression of Command. This guy is as much on the receiving end, as he is on the conducting. Very original and very sensitive. Often...he stands there LISTENING. Astonishing. Wanted to be a Conductor at 12. Mäkelä is a paradoxical Conductor for sure. Well done. You've won me over. What's next ?

Fabulous left arm and hand. I followed Mäkelä's performances since the early days at the workshops with Maestro Pannula; in fact, there was, even then, something different about him.

So so glad to see my beloved Norwegian orchestra again, with their famous conductor!! thank you so much for this fantastic performance by both conductor and fine orchestra. So many good wishes to all the members of the orchestra, our beloved neighbours to the north of the UK.... oh how I love your online concerts!!

То что нужно. Спасибо!

Another wonderful performance and interpretation from my favorite conductor Klaus Mäkelä.

The conductor and orchestra sound fantastic - and certainly are - but my hats off to the sound engineers. I think we all tend to forget them, but they really can "make or break". Here the sound recording is fantastic. (The conductor and orchestra are brilliant, but could so easily have been "broken" by a second rate recording team.) So often the sound crew is ignored, but here they clearly deserve being singled out ... Bravo!

Very enjoyable, and most impressive!

Great performance of a great composition. Very focused, outstanding intonation and timing.

So beautiful Symphony ! Thank -you so much Oslo Philharmonic !

Une direction inspirée et très calme, mais avec la fougue qu'il faut quand la musique de Brahms le requiert .

Magnifique orchestre même s'il est moins connu que les grands orchestres allemands. Cette quatrième de Brahms sonne merveilleusement. Le jeune chef s'est révélé être un génie de la direction musicale. Merci à chacun.

So impressive! I love this channel so much. The quality of video is amazing.

Diese berühmte 4 Symphony vom Johannes Brahms gehört zu einer meist gespielte Symphony bei jedem Orchester in ihren Repertoires. Gerade dadurch entsteht große Gefahr für jeden ernsthaften Dirigent dieses Meisterwerk nicht bloß nach einem gewöhnlichen "Muster "der von irgendeinem berühmten Kollegen schon gemacht ist,wieder auf gleicher Art und Weise zum Klang bringen. Besondere Schwierigkeiten bereiten für allen Dirigenten der 4 Satz. Die große Schwierigkeit in diesem Finale ist das jede Variation, die aus 8 Takten Periode besteht, soll in verschiedenen Charaktere klingen und trotzdem in großen gemeinsamen Entwicklung als eine Kette mit allen zusammen stehen. Für einen Dirigent ist das schwerste in diesem Finale nicht nur intellektuell die Variationen zu erfassen, dass können schon in unserer Zeit viele Musiker sondern sie mit lebendigen Geist der Musik zu erfüllen (mit der Dramatik ,Freude, Kummers, Liebe...) Das können nur die große Meister! Recht herzlichen Dank für begeisterten Spiel bei dieser bewundernswerte 4 Symphony von Johannes Brahms. Es ist schwer zu beurteilen woran läge dieses außergewöhnliches begeistertes Spiel, wegen der Interpretation dieses Meisterwerk von Maestro Mäkela oder von besondere Vorliebe für diese Symphony von Orchestern Musiker der Oslo Philharmonic?! Es wehre sehr interessant die Orchesterprobe zu hören, dann erst kann man richtig darüber beurteilen. Recht herzlichen Dank für sehr schöne Konzertauffürung!

Thank you

Excellent interpretation and beautiful production!

Gorgeous sound from this orchestra! And outstanding performance of one of my favorite symphonies! Should have been a standing "O"!

Love all your videos. Thank you Oslo Philharmonic for the gifts, best wishes from México.

Excelente ❤ , saludos desde Italia !

Bravissimo! 👏👏👏 What a beautiful performance! 🎶Thank you so much for sharing! 🤗

The Oslo Phil did a great by having Maestro Makela. Soon they will be in the top 5 orchestras of Europe.

años sin escuchar a Bra hms.. y es bueno h@berlo reencontrado. Gr@cias

What rapture! This is rendition is so exciting! Watching Klaus Makela conduct is almost as enjoyable as listening to this magnificent and majestic symphony. He is intense, youthful in approach, dynamic, theatrical, dramatic. The Oslo Philharmonic is right with him on every chord. You can see how much they enjoy working with him, and vice versa. The sound on this video is remarkable. The entire symphony, and particularly the Fourth Movement, literally sends me to a transcendent place. Thanks you so much for this.

These symphonies are amazing. I'm constantly listening. :)

Beautiful and delicate Brahms! I usually feel many conductors play this symphony no.4 too heavy and formal. I love Klaus's well-balanced conducting. Bravo! I wanna hear this performance everyday!

Stunning performance. Thank you ❤

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Beautiful

Magnific. Majestät

World class production! Amazing performance! Such beautiful energy from the talented musicians and conductor! Bravo! Greetings from Malaysia.

I just cannot get over the production quality of your videos. What a cherry on top of the treat that is the orchestra! I'm so glad I came across this channel.

I enjoy it so so much!!!!!

This rendition of BRAHM'S FOURTH SYMPHONY is a good one, but I woudn't throw confetti on it. For me, the best renditions of BRAHM'S SYMPHONIES are the ones performed under the conduction by KARL BÖHM in the 1970s.

What an honor it would be to stand amidst so many superb musicians in lead role; you can tell he is in relation through the experience, and each of the symphony members channelling their very best. Exquisite.

Amazing performance!

Posiblemente la mejor versión de la historia, magnífico, grandioso y colosal y de una sutileza maravillosa. Gracias!!

Beautiful! Glorious! Thank you from Massachusetts, USA

Lo mejor de lo mejor.

hermosa!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this performance! I've been to Oslo only once. Hope to return one day and watch your wonderful orchestra in person. Greetings from Los Angeles!

This might be a weird thing to say, but I was even quite impressed by some of the sectional page turns. A very evocative performance indeedǃ

Que maravilla!!! Preciosa música para una orquesta que me encanta y dirigida por Klaus Makela. Que más se puede pedir! Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

a wonderful performace, greetings from Brazil and thank you for sharing such marvelous work!

One of the best renditions I’ve ever heard. Msgificent

Klaus Makela, música clásica maravillosa, interpretación por Orquesta filarmónica, sensacional

A certain musician has kept a straight face through the demanding 3rd movement. All focus. Strictly business. Then at at 32:34 , she cracks a smile, knowing she nailed it. I agree with her. Breath-taking execution.

Wonderful performance. Bravo!

😊I find it to be SO beautiful. Thank you.

Que maravilla! Poder oír juntos a Klaus Makela, la Filarmónica de Oslo y la cuarta de Brahms!! Me han alegrado el día! Son los mejores, muchas gracias!!

新しい投稿に感謝してます！ もう何度も聴いています。 素敵です。 ありがとう。

Una de mis sinfonías preferidas, grande interpretación y dirección!

Lovely...effortless conducting...really know what he's doing....knows how to get out of their way....few know this....

Takk 😍

Klaus seems to be a delight to work with. You can see that the orchestra look up to him and they really follow him. @32:35 :)
