This is one of the better Brahms Threes I've encountered in recent time..... Alan Gilbert's read is very close to George Szell's, and NYPO puts out a very spirited performance. Bravo!!
Follow Ups:
One of the best live performance I have experienced there.
I wish someone will release the entire symphonies. ( so far pretty good )
Szell's 3rd is one of my fave also, but alas, hard to beat a live performance dynamics and harmonic colours.
I've always liked Muti..... Heard him live when he was in Philadelphia.......
There's a wonderful and quite short critical analysis of the essence of Brahms 3rd Symphony on YT and I would encourage any and all of you to give it a quick listen. I found it very illuminating.on a musical and technical level.
This is their annual regular gown appearance.
What do you think of the "girlies?"
Gilbert is formerly Cleveland resident conductor, where is he going again (I'm lazy today), and jaap van zweden will take over next season.

hilarious, first saw these gowns (more flowery then) when the late Maazel was the conductor.
Noted a lot of Asian musicians in NY. Around here, lots of Asian musicians in both high school and youth orchestra (over 80%).
See link for my kid's high school orchestral performance winning "the Orchestra Cup" playing in Tully Hall.
Didn't realize Alan Gilbert had a Cleveland connection..... I've always liked him, although he does have quite a few detractors......The only Diamond Bar I know about is in California (Los Angeles)..... This was an **excellent** performance!! It's so hard to get the phrasing right with Brahms with any orchestra, let alone a youth or especially a high school orchestra. Great articulation too.
My biggest gripe about major orchestra performances today is that the musicians would rather be buried in the rest of the orchestra than play boldly. This is where the performance stood out. The musicians were fearless. They played boldly. Something you don't encounter too often nowadays. (I'd rather hear a bunch of wrong notes trying to get the spirit of the music right than timidly getting all the notes right.)

High praise from a tough critic. Thanks.
Yep, there are amazingly good aspects to the performance and I am so proud of them. My kid basically ran the group and trip for 2 yrs, helping the conductor. Our special concerts were rehearsed and conducted by pianist and USC associate conductor Set Ahn, who deserves much of the musical credit.
you'll need a Real Doc!
Those colorful Gowns look pretty stupid tho.
I am a real one!
Some of them Girlies be tough!
Keep on practicing and performing yourself.
