I was walking around the top deck of a cruise ship after midnight many years ago. Not a soul up there and you could see the Milky Way among the stars. The ocean was very calm that night and I had a Sony Walkman with me and some cassettes in a little bag. Stayed up there for hours. I listened to this recording and the 9th (Karajan, 1963 version). The experience was singular, unique and altogether moving...to the point of tears. Two days later, I listened to the 6th (Walter's version) while walking through a thick rain forest. I could not stop crying. Been a Beethoven fanatic ever since. Only Schubert can shake me to the core like Beethoven's music.I swear that whole week was other worldly. I wasn't expecting such a strong reaction. That's the power of classical music.

Beethoven makes me not only happy but a better human being as well. God bless him endlessly. Thanks to Mr. Kleiber, the Wiener Philharmoniker for the subtle performance: you can ear everything on a clear and delicate atmosphere full of energy with exact passion. It is inspiring from a holistic perspective, from the very beginning to the end, just like it was come up with in the Beethoven brain, heart and soul, beside his dirty hearing aid. I am glad we can enjoy such finest musicians the former one making music and the others performing it now. Germany can be proud of all of it. Me too, because I am a human being that have earn the musical citizenship. Thanks to KZbin for permitting us enjoying it making real democracy of good things for everyone as well. Thanks a lot to Vanja Stanishic for sharing music without borders.

I love the story that the very-first time this symphony was performed publicly was for a charity event in 1813 for Austrian soldiers wounded fighting Napoleon and that it was an immediate hit -and that the soldiers and audience called for an encore of the Allegretto (13:37), instantly loving it the very first time they heard it. Which was the same reaction I suspect tens of millions of listeners if not more, in the 200 + years have had since then, the first time they heard it.

I incorporate with admiration the comments below, but want to add one more by conductor Susanna Mälkki, Music director,of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, a frequent guest at the L.A. Phil., and one of the 100 conductors polled in 2010. She said: "Carlos Kleiber brought an incredible energy to music... Yes, he did have about five times as much time to rehearse than conductors do today, but he deserved it because his vision was remarkable, he knew what he wanted, and his attention to detail was truly inspiring." Fun fact: Carlos Kleiber played two musical instruments: piano & timpani. Can you see why drums are so central to his interpretations, especially of Beethoven & Brahms?

Like father, like son. I have the 1955 record of Beethoven's Fifth played by the Concertgebouw Orch of Amsterdam conducted by Erich Kleiber. For many years this was critically accepted as the definitive version of the Fifth. Despite it being in steam mono the full rich sound is there and still nothing matches it. I believe this Seventh is also the pick of the bunch. So perhaps Erich lives on "in scion".

@jasonhurd4379 Жыл бұрын
The orchestra setup was always with violins divided left and right, right up until Stokowski massed them together at left and center in the early XXth century. It is a crime not to divide the violins. It spoils the antiphonal effects so many composers used, with the 'call and response' between first and second violins.

It's so easy for you, sitting in your chair of Western freedom today, to look back on the decisions of these people living in tyrannical regimes and pronounce that they were wrong. Even the most basic search on Strauss will give you some idea as to what he thought of the Nazis and what his motivations might have been. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Strauss#Strauss_in_Nazi_Germany Among the highlights: "Strauss's need to protect his Jewish daughter-in-law and Jewish grandchildren also motivated his behavior,[13] in addition to his determination to preserve and conduct the music of banned composers such as Mahler and Debussy." Strauss's opinion on Goebbels: "I consider the Streicher-Goebbels Jew-baiting as a disgrace to German honour, as evidence of incompetence-the basest weapon of untalented, lazy mediocrity against a higher intelligence and greater talent." "Strauss attempted to ignore Nazi bans on performances of works by Debussy, Mahler, and Mendelssohn. He also continued to work on a comic opera, Die schweigsame Frau, with his Jewish friend and librettist Stefan Zweig. When the opera was premiered in Dresden in 1935, Strauss insisted that Zweig's name appear on the theatrical billing, much to the ire of the Nazi regime." Do you also believe the statements Soviet composers made when they were rounded up and publicly spanked, or do you think maybe it's possible they said those things to save their own lives and those of their families? As for Furtwangler, there is a tonne of reading here, and, surprise, surprise, you are wrong again: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Furtw%C3%A4ngler#Third_Reich_controversy . But in all honesty, I really couldn't give two shits about the political beliefs of any musician. It mainly matters to virtue signalers like yourself who like to think they're morally superior. The only thing that matters is how they perform. I think you need to look in the mirror. You and the Nazis have a lot in common.
