Always fearful of the "expected" clapping at the end of the Molto Vivace.
Good performance!

[nnthadani]

Probably the best recording of this world-famous symphony

[rcrinsea]

One of the best versions I have ever seen or heard. The tempo is for me crucial in this piece, and the conductor for the most part does it just right for my taste. I grew up listening to the Pierre Monteaux version on RCA Gold Seal from 1957 on LP. Very impressive.

The grand master of emotion ... Pyotr Illitch Tchaikovsky ... Symphonie Pathetique ( 6th symphony in B minor op. 74 ) is a goddamned epic emotional rollercoaster masterpiece and my top one, after Berlioz 's Symphonie Fantastique, Dvorak 's Symphony ( from the New World ), Schubert's 8th ( unfinished ) and Beethoven 's 5th symphony ! Great performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra !

That timpanist has got his drums in the German configuration and with calf skins too. AMAZING

[farganyt]

Amazing performance. Tchaikovsky, a genius.

Thanks. Is always very nice to listen to and watch some more "recent" renditions of this Symphony. Enjoy and This one is excellent, magnificent orchestra, high level.

[Houshangeanjoman]

Great Symphony, great Conductor, great Crew. Thank you all, God bless.

I grew up with Paul Paray and Sixten Ehrling. I saw them both conduct the Pathétique with the Detroit Symphony. Leonard Slatkin deserves a lot of credit for keeping the DSO at the same high level of musicianship I remember with Paray and Ehrling. Peter Oundjian is a top flight professional and he clearly is in sync with this terrific orchestra. Brilliant performance!

[kaypie]

Wow.
What a brilliant performance of this incredible work of art.

IV. Finale: Adagio Lamentoso 37:20

[davidb]

Wow. commercials interrupt even within a single movement. Not for me.

[Dylonely_]

I feel so sorry for the conductor… he did a great work but the audience…

[Sploooks]

Someone decided it would be an excellent idea to cough during the final fermata, I mean seriously??

[vonnlamxd]

(37:15) conductor: Plz Plz don't clap, its not the end!
(37:20) people: *CLAPS*
("_") me: Why the fugue u clap laaa?

[leftfield]

The performance is fine, conductor very good, video and sound quite good. Commercial interruptions in the middle of movements totally ruin the experience. I stopped watching. And I grew up in Detroit and greatly respect this orchestra. But I do not respect whoever decided to interrupt the video with commercials.

Origins of music unevidenced. Except it is gift to humanity from God the Creator. Music continues in heaven. Discontinues in hell.
Jesus Christ died and resurrected for remissions of everybody's pre-existing sins to save from eternal hell. Penalty of sin already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Be saved from eternal hell. Enter heaven. Enjoy heavenly music. For free.
