The fact that this is available for free is amazing.

Ask any orchestral musician and he will probably tell you that Strauss's music is the most dificult to play and conduct. And D.Juan must be on the top of the list with all its complexity. This piece must have been played thousands of times since its creation by hundreds of orchestras but I dare anyone to point out a clearly more revealing, cleaner, tighter than this one. For me, D.Juan is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it, brings tears to my eyes and, if I'm alone and don't risk beeing interned, I conduct like crazy! When hearing it try to "dive" deep inside that "mass" of sound so perfectly combined and harmonized and every time you will find something, some detail, something important to the whole you never noticed before. A treasure...

Dang. The conductor wasn't gonna waste any time. "yeah yeah you can stop clapping now. one-and-two-AAAND!"

Don Juan is - for me - the work where Strauss truly found his own voice and fully stepped out of the Brahmsian world of his previous works and boy did he do it with a bang!

[simonhall]

2:20 amazing how two glock notes can be so nuanced

[ldsmusician]

you would never know how insanely difficult this is to listen to this recording. Beautifully played.

[pablojuanlinaresrodriguezc]

Yes, you are studying this excerpt and you need to listen

[oliviapereira]

The instruments in this orchestra are all amazingly beautiful. Best selection of special quality instruments put together I've seen in many years

[realshaoran]

0:45 jesus, you could think these people are being punished instead of enjoying Don Juan.

[gabrielcortez]

I have listened to this composition so many times. I have also attended a concert in Toronto. I am not expert but i think this is the best performance I have ever heard. I like the passion of this conductor and his "Let's go!"

Oboensolo direkt aus dem Himmel. Unglaublich schön.

[JishiChan]

This makes me miss my orchestra season so much :(

[marsaeolus]

His music evokes so many vivid emotions! He is truly the king of late romanticism.

[yovg]

The two drops of sweat down the conductor’s face at the end says it all!

[kevinvanhove]

Can't believe i'm seeing this live in 2 weeks, the same night Hilary Hahn will perform the Sibelius concerto right in front of my eyes. I'm so excited!!!

[ado]

So wonderful, that they put out whole pieces. So we can enjoy their musicianship every time we wish for

[ronaldbeield]

Just a fabulous piece of music by a genius composer. One of the few where the oboe is given a great solo, and here the guy nailed it. To the novice who has not been exposed to classical music, this should be the introductory work. If he/she is not bowled over, it's never gonna happen
