Juraj Valčuha is now the Music Director of the Houston Symphony Orchestra.
I wish him and the HSO all the BEST of times!! - from a Houstonian (well, Pasadena, TX, anyway - adjoining the East side of Houston) and former hornist with the HSO.
I am VERY excited for this new era of the HSO. Juraj is not new to the HSO. He is well 'vetted' and well LOVED by the orchestra, the management and the patrons.
Good

Great performance! 18:14 trumpet getting their ears blown out by the timpanist lmao

[PeterLunowPL]

deeply impressed by orchestra and conductor !!!!This orchestra definitely belongs to the very very best of Europe

[johannesbrahms]

Excellent !!!!
I liked the slower tempi, as a " slower flow of Time is necessary to permit the MYSTERIOUS MAGIC of Nature to
"RECREATE ITSELF" IN SOUND !!!!

10/10 for the performance, 7/10 for the editing.

13:30 Here we see a thing that is beautiful!!! The Principal trumpet plays a delicate solo passage BEAUTIFULLY. Well, of course! That IS a beautiful thing, but...
It's what the Second trumpet does (and gently, subtley) immediately afterwards. The 2nd pats his leg. Why? Of course, to acknowledge the beautiful execution of the solo by the Principal.
It is an amazing, scintillating, exstatic, intense, wholly engrossing thing to perform in these world-class ensembles. The leg pat is part of it!!!

[thomassicard]

It is SO wonderful to see how relaxed, how confident, how connected these awesome musicians are, while performing this magnificent work.
Serious credit is warranted to these musicians AND to this awesome conductor.
A beautiful synergy.

[thomassicard]

THIS is a world-class musician's conductor!!!
BRAVO!!! Many times over!

[notaire]

Endlich kommt das richtige Programm! Mir gefällt die perfekt kontrollierten Töne aller Instrumente mit angemessener Dynamik und angenehmer Agogik.

Tolle Aufnahme, wirklich wunderschön! Mein Lieblingswerk von Debussy, von einem der besten Orchester Deutschlands wirklich perfekt aufgeführt. Bin großer Fan vom hr-Sinfonieorchester, werde es auch weiterhin bleiben!
Bravo! :)

This splendor of words can not attach it

La Mer is well suitedto Turner’s seascape paintings

[sonicsnap]

Absolute masterwork and marvellous performance!

[fabiusgraco]

Já estava com saudades de ver e ouvir um novo concerto de vocês. O que houve com o maestro Andrés Orozco -Estrada? Obrigado pela postagem!

[janvriend]

I wish the control room kept the cameras much longer on the whole ensemble! All this clever - (and often very un-clever) - changing distracts and is not the experience the audience enjoys and is supposed to enjoy.
