je pleure d'émotion vraie

I was there! What a fond memory.

This wonderful performance is the cat’s pajamas Comfort of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ music is off the charts

Like sibelius 4th

I used to only like the first movement. Nineteen years on, I'm perfectly happy with the whole thing.

Jedno z nejpozoruhodnejsich valecnych del klasicke hudby.

The cellos at the end of the 1st movement 😮

How come this be the only video recording of the complete performance of this marvelous symphony? It should be performed more often.

Thanks for the 2nd mov. Finally something happen.Waiting for its Scherzo!

Last movement destroyed by audience

una maravilla

EXQUISITO

It hardly reduces it to program music to note the time it was written and that it might have been influenced by that time.

This is so good, my goodness. Ades's music never ceases to amaze me. btw 1:32 Steve Jobs playing trumpet.

Oh, how I wished the flutist at the end of the second movement had on her own changed that final note to an E (I think that is what it originally was) instead of playing the D (which is what the composer changed it to). The one note revision completely changes the meaning of that second movement, where it ends with some brief measure of hope to an ending of hopelessness and impending doom, which is what you hear in that devastating final movement. If you don't believe me, listen to Vaughan William's own recording of this work or, if you can find it, Leopold Stokowski's live radio performance in 1942 with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, made before the revision.

Bravissima!

Ich liebe Jakob❤❤❤❤

The most sublime performance I have heard!!! Thank you!!!

The final movement is good to drink a beer to late at night while reading M.R. James stories...

Great symphony and performance. A pity that the listed track times are total rubbish!

Sadly the bbc think talking to an expert is definitely old fashioned and they now just get some random person who has to use ‘absolutely’ to describe everything. That’s why I find the proms unwatchable these days. Either say something interesting about it, or don’t say anything at all.

Angry about a bypass! 😂

4:58 - 6:06 Obsessed with this 4 piccolo soli

What venue/hall is this, please?

ENGLISH Music at its very best.

The guy blowing in gold needs to clean his instrument the saxophone 🎷

I really like Tan Dun’s music and conducting!

Que belleza!!

What a treasure

This is very striking, but it'd be a lot better if the singers could've stayed on key without voice breaks...

As I know, Lenny Bernstein was a great admirer of this symphony ,which he conducted several times and recorded too....

Sabins voice is so smooth❤

Pretty awful. Don’t you think?

Just love the piece leading up to the saxophone solo especially the lovely harmony much after. It paints a mesmerizing desolate wasteland.

Listening through the second movement, I hear the same austerity that you find in much of Shostakovich's output.

Sounds similar to the overture of Sibelius' tempest, isn't it?

🖤

Dare I say that the passage for strings beginning at 7:35 is the most beautiful melody ever written?

Exquisite !!! Exquisite

Love Rings. Not sure about the rest.

Love the pedal work

👍👍👍

German as a language sounds so poetic even when I don’t understand.

Would have been a blockbuster movie of it's time.

As fantastic as this music is, for me this is all a bit too quick, thereby missing all sorts of details and finesse missing out on what RVW is telling us. The Boult version is still gorgeous and as intense as the music.

This for me was the must-see event of the 2012 Proms; VW Symphonies 4, 5 and 6 in a single evening. It did not disappoint! A brilliant piece of programming, with thoroughly worthy performances to back it up.

It reminds me of Turangalila somehow. The way the piano is both a lead and a part of an orchestral mechanism is a rare beauty.

Fantastic. A wonderful exciting symphony. Superbly performed.
