Yes indeed...One of my major pet peeves on live performances not viewed in person (cause when I'm present, I don't have to go through that torture 🙂), of any kind, but particularly in classical music...to be forced to look at the face of the pianist through a solo passage played by the cellist, for example...Sometimes it gets that bad....But here, as you point it out, the camera approach is flawless...Very well done!

I heard this the first time in 1960 as a six year old visiting my grandparents in Cleveland. They took me to hear this performed under conductor George Szell. I mistakenly clapped at the end of the 1st movement, but Mr Szell was very kind when he noted that I was just a child. (We had seats just below him in the Orchestra section).
I've never forgotten how moved I was by this symphony, or the conductor's indulgence to a new listener.

RIP Bernard Haitink 1929-2021

It's not that I'm shocked - he lived 92 years in this life. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing though. Haitink was one of the greatest conductors of our age and a true ambassador of his art. Humble and faithful to the music in every situation, his sober and revealing visions of such a wide range of repertoire has left us with a rich recorded legacy of some of the greatest reference recordings, made with the greatest orcheatras in the world. And that's without even touching on his eminently distinguished career with the great Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam.

Since the very beginning of my journey with orchestral music, my record collection has gotten steadily more littered with Haitink readings. Despite his notable absence of flamboyance or histrionics - dare I say ego, even - with Haitink, you can safely go for absolutely ANY of his recordings, without ANY hesitation or need for prior research or reviews, and rest assured in the knowledge that you'll ALWAYS be presented with an outstanding, emotionally intelligent and profound rendition of whatever that piece may be. There's not many conductors in that bracket. I was just lucky enough to catch Haitink live a couple of times, including a stunning Bruckner 6th symphony with the Dresden Staatskapelle. I'm very sad to hear he has left us.

Quick note. 2nd movement, two-thirds through, after the slow theme is played for the second time by the whole orchestra in unison, then it pauses and grows into a marvelous uplifting melody surging upwards. It was only after the 50th listening that I realized that melody is a variation on the slow theme. Maybe everyone else knew that, but I wanted to share it in case you didn't. Listen again. This whole symphony is rife with variations.

Classic should be an etiquette for only a certain type of music that is made until 1800.

A very interesting comment. Brahms was a romantic composer and this symphony is particularly about big emotional range, expressing feelings through music. This music is aimed at moving the audience, making an impact on the listeners, painting a continuous picture. So this is how I think the music sounds modern, unlike some compositions from earlier periods, which are about ideal harmonies, proportions, structures, or a demonstration of complexity, skill or original ideas.

@slowpainful

1y↑2

A very insightful comment, I think. For your first Brahms experience, you certainly chose possibly his most tightly constructed and emotionally devastating work. The brutality and pessimism of the final movement (a set of variations on an eight-bar harmonic progression, which unfolds relentlessly) shocked his close friends on first hearing, because there is no "sunny" ending - it's tragedy all the way. Brahms is maybe the most "classical" of the Romantics because he had total mastery of symphonic form; but he also turns to the past in this work: the slow movement uses an ancient mode for its tone-set, and the last movement uses a Baroque form. Brahms is sometimes like hearing Beethoven through a nostalgic haze.

Brahms has so much to say in the dramatic unfolding of the exposition. Each theme logically blends into the next theme. The development is extremely short.

Bernard Hatink entrega dos versiones espectaculares, llenas de pasión e inteligencia, fuerza expresiva, y atención a los detalles.

Zonder enig voorbehoud: een fantastische uitvoering. Haitink wist al vanaf zijn begin bij ons Concertgebouworkest weg met Brahms, getuige de Philips-opnamen van wat later, begin 70-er jaren, maar wat hij hier neerzet is ongehoord & één van zijn grootste prestaties. Het betreft een compositie die ik zo vrij ben te beschouwen als het grootste muzikale meesterwerk van de 2e helft der 19e eeuw. En -muziekhistorisch gezien - bovendien Brahms' afscheid van die eeuw. Met, even intens en gepassioneerd als deze symfonie klinkt, en ook door de componist voor wel zeker gewettigd gehouden, grote bezorgdheid over wat er zal volgen ! Wij weten inmiddels, in al weer de 21e eeuw aangeland, van het Grote Gelijk van deze Grootmeeester.

Great work by the camera to show how hard the orchestra works to produce music. I also adore haitnik's somewhat restrained style; as the camera shows him keeping rubato under restraint --a crucial importance as the orchestra works its way thru The Passaglia. lastly, of course the wonderful skills of the particulars in their obbliggato moments. In short, Haitnik demonstrates with pure genius that the symphonic form as such must nesessarily de-compose itself into harmonic parts that ostensibly worj against a boffo over-interpretation by a self-proclaimed genius conductor...

My grandfather used to work at Desilu & Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, and back around maybe 1963? they were creating the set for Star Trek and they had the first Starship Enterprise built, and they played Brahms 4th on a record turntable, on the set as they worked, they played it all the time. This is the unofficial theme for the original Star Trek

The alternating interplay between the strings and the woodwind near the end of the fourth mvnt always stirs me up....Staring from 36:13

Wunderschöne live Aufführung dieses perfekt konstruierten Meisterwerks mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher, brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser und, vor allem, milden Töne aller Holzbläser. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das kompakte und perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!

@Quotenwagnerianer

Metallbläser ist ja mal eine schöne Verballhornung. Es heißt Blechbläser. ;)

Thank you, wonderful. I hear alot of Brahms in John Williams' music, especially the 2nd Piano Concerto.

Une oeuvre magistrale de beautés, de nuances, d’inventivités ! BRAHMS l’un des tous meilleurs compositeurs pour ma part. Avec néanmoins ma passion pour les compositions et la musicalité de Johan Sebastian Bach. Mais Brahms est le plus inventif pour l’harmonie et les variantes pour orchestres.

Bernard Haitink is amazing, in my opinion the greatest of his generation!

As a fan of classics and rock, I now know where Rick Wakeman's Cans & Brahms comes from. Thank you.

De las más bellas sinfonías de la historia. Una construcción magistral. Me encantan la variedad de temas y la metamorfosis de los mismos

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt konstruierten Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt balancierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt friedlich. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Kammerorchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Alles ist bewundernswert!

Brahms and Haitink , a match made in heaven. One of my prize position's was an early Phillips/Argo recording of all Brahms' four symphonies with Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw orchestra.

@fonsecorona

Haitink and the Concertgebow..always a premiere institution...

It's so nice to come back to this performance. True it is a mighty large chamber group but to hear the composition with Less instruments reveals more of the beauty. A lovely straightforward go at it. I know everyone has their favourites and I always go back to Furtwangler's wartime recordings and to this one. This ones alive but not so wild (which I do love so much as well). I'm already lost in mov 2 as I write. Gotta go. Happy landing.
