RIP Seiji Ozawa

Wow! This performance rocks. Trumpets sound amazing together. Schlueter at the top of his game and Peter Chapman nails the 2nd part like nobody I've ever heard. Everyone sounds glorious. This piece is definitely one of Ozawa's specialties and this performance is brilliant. Thanks for posting it.

Fabuleux souvenir de Seijji dirigeant l'Orchestre de Boston....

That bass gliss in movement 4 hit so hard

What an orchestra... People talk about the Chicago Symphony brass section, but this orchestra may have been better. Bud Herseth, the principal trumpet of Chicago was fantastic, but Charlie Schlueter here sounds GLORIOUS... So lyrical and beautiful tone, so beautifully singing! The whole orchestra has such an elegant and noble tone. The last movement here is THRILLING!

Yes! I heard the CSO many more times than I did Boston, but I think Boston had a more beautiful overall sound. Chicago was all about power and precision, but just like Da Bears, they could be bruts!

Sections of orchestras... ha! What it takes is what the conductor does with the piece, these musicians are all top rated...the point here is Maestro Ozawa, not the brass or the percussion section...The World lost one of the greatest conductors, pitty never heard him live or studied with him...thanks for posting this

wow an incredible performance by the orchestra that commissioned this amazing gift to music and humanity in the first place!

My initial encounter with this composition occurred under the baton of Seiji Ozawa. Given the passage of time, the particulars of that experience have faded from memory, including the identity of the orchestra involved. Nonetheless, it is indisputable that Ozawa's mastery in conducting is unparalleled in its ability to unveil the orchestra's rich tapestry of tonal colors. This rendition of his is quintessentially the most efficacious way to ensure the music's resonance and allure.

Ozawa at his best. He leaves the world a richer place.

One of the best performances of this piece! Bartok at his Best...

I remember this video a long time ago from the KZread page called HDVideoCollections until it got removed. But now, I still love the perfomance with the great Seiji Ozawa and the BSO. So, thank you very much.

Wonderful performance by the creative conducting, Seiji Ozawa.

Every time I listen to the Finale I get tears in my eyes, it's just so powerful!

Curious. Have just finished reading Marukami's book "Absolutely on music" in which he transcribes his conversations with Ozawa but had never seen him conducting. Seen him now and I think I never saw any conductor be so clear and precise in his movements. The orchestra reflects clearly that precision. When he was assistant conductor to Bernstein he chastised him for cueing every instrument saying that the orchestra didn't need that because they know what to do. Anyway he did just that in this piece and I loved it!

Glad someone mentioning Murakami’s book on the conversation with Ozawa. Without the Hungarian writer, Laszlo Krasznahorkai’s praise of this piece in his latest book “Spadework…” , I would have never been exposed to this amazing piece.

I'm so glad that somebody bothered to commission this work.

And what a great piece of music!

The greatest piece of music ever written played well.

I wore out my DG LP of this as a child, along with my dad's LP of the Hindemith string trios. Still have my dog-eared old pocket scores.

Wonderful music played wonderfully. I have always loved the BSO going back to Leinsdorf and Munch. It's still a great orchestra.

BSO should be at its best here, the piece was commissioned by the BSO's music director and premiered by BSO in 1945. BSO "owns" this Bartok.

BSO, Chicago, and the Milwaukee Symphony were the Cat's meows in the early 70-ties to mid- 80-ties. This piece and Rite of Spring were played by the latter one Saturday night, October (I believe) 1972, by the great German-Jew conductor that re-electrified the whole county from Waukesha to Green Bay.

Japan seems to have the knack of turning out great conductors. In Vancouver we were privileged to have Kazuyoshi Akiyama at the helm. Kazuyoshi Uemura is another great Japanese conductor. Chiaki from Nodame Cantabile for good measure. 🙃

It’s Bartok. Go figure

ボストンシンホニーってキレイな音のするオーケンスラなんだね。アメリカのオーケストラだから人種差別とか貧富の差とか核爆弾とか国内外の矛盾を爆発させる、不協和音のオーケストラかとおもったけど、そうじゃないみたい。セイジもバルトークらしさがまったくないおとなしい指揮だ。

En esta ocasión no me ha convencido la versión que de este concierto hace el gran Maestro japonés, ni tampoco la de Eschenbach, ni la orquesta XXI aunque sean buenas versiones las tres. Si Vds. son forofos de este maravilloso, bello y singular concierto les recomiendo la versión de la orquesta Philharmonia Slavonica dirigida por Carlo Pantelli de Classical Masterworks que dura SÓLO 36minutos.

I mean it's well performed but it still sounds like a whole lot of noise to me. It's curious music, interesting intellectually perhaps but with zero emotional content. Listening to it is about as satisfying and meaningful as the sounds of the Underground Rail while standing at a station in London. Call me a philistine.

@@noeldacosta7621 First of all, it's FAR from atonal. Nobody understood true tonality and harmony better than Bartok in the 20th Century. And to write this, literally, on his deathbed, thumbing his nose at leukaemia - well, it's one of the great FEATS of any human, in any age or medium. Bartok is probably the greatest composer of the 20th Century, if I had to choose.

Nope-too fast. It's like they are racing to get to the end of each section.

Ozawa follows Bartok's tempo and metronome markings very carefully. There are performances by Leinsdorf, Kocsis, and Dorati (Minneapolis), that are faster than this but very convincing.
