To the people picking holes in this lady's performance, I have this to say: in my 3 acre garden I have hundreds of orchids of many different types. I love them all, even though they are not all identical. So this girl has a different interpretation? So what? It is different - just relax and enjoy it. I am - gratefully.

I am from Russia where Tchaikovsky and his music were very well known . I love this performance . The Maestro and musicians are superb ! She feels his music . Thanks for posting the video . SPASIBO . 🌹 🌷 💝

I'm in love with her. She literally flings the notes from her fingers and intones the movements with every expression on face and movement of her body. She gives it all to orchestra and they in turn give it back to her. A true Crescendo of power of talent all around as rarely seen any where on in any endeavor.

did I fall in love with Maestra?! Absolutely!

Alondra de la Parra nous offre une superbe interprétation de la symphonie n°5 de Tchaïkovsky. Pour le quatrième mouvement, elle nous offre un final éblouissant, très "Tchaïkovskien". Une brillante réussite. Sa façon de faire applaudir ses chefs de pupitre est originale. De plus elle dirige comme une femme et non comme malheureusement certaines de ses collègues qui dirigent inutilement comme des hommes. Un GRAND BRAVO à cette cheffe.

The second movement left me speechless, overall one of the best renditions of Tchaikovsky 5th I've seen. The conductor breaths and feels the music.

Apart from the wonderful performance with this excellent orchestra:
How nice to see such a happy Alondra.

[holysmoke]

I enjoyed every note. A thrilling performance.

superbe! c'est ce qu'on attend de Tchaïkovsky. tout le mystère, et la passion. le tout d'une grande beauté sonore et d'un équilibre des voix inimitable. c'est très beau. bravo madame Alondra.

Señora de la Parra is one of the most exciting classical musicians working. She had the orchestra and audience in her hands. The second movement was particularly well done.

Even the "curtain calls" were special. She didn't merely gesture the principal players to stand; she gave them hugs! She knows how to value her players.

Well played, Maestra!

[alfredogomez]

I loved how she congratulated almost every player at the end.
