Charles Munch: Beethoven Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" (BSO, 1960)

[@おだいふく-x6t]

たった１５年前まで日米戦争を繰り広げていたことを考えると感慨ありますね。　現在２０２３年ですけれど、２００８年に戦争していたくらいの感覚でしょうから、当時の感覚でもついこの間干戈を交えて激しく衝突していた相手の国からの来訪というわけで、会場にいた日米の観客にとってはなんともいえない思いをもって臨んでいた方もいたんでしょうね。　とにかく興味深い映像です。

My grandfather took me up to Boston to meet Charles Munch. I always watched him on television. I play the piano and I conducted my high school orchestra. This piece by Beethoven was the first time I took the Baton. I can still feel his energy as he conducts this magnificent piece of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3.

[@paulparoma]

Phenomenal, to say the least. How far we've come down since...Sad.

[@razvan_3008]

The best interpretation of the opening chords of the monumental Eroica I have ever heard.

[@Twentythousandlps]

One of the most exciting Eroicas you can hope to hear.

[@MrKlemps]

You might want to check out the performance by Roger Norrington here in KZbin.

Mark Cogley And the 7th too recorded at Symphony Hall in 1957.....!

@@MrKlemps let norrington go to hell. His whole career is a fraud!

With period instruments? No thanks.

[@giovanniscottodicarlo9080]

Davvero bella questa esecuzione dell' eroica. Una delle piu' belle che io abbia mai ascoltato. Chiara, incisiva, vivace, partecipata. Una vera scoperta questo Munch

[@billducker7404]

Fabulous thank you God bless you. Bill. UK

[@nicolapascoli4580]

Stupenda esecuzione!

[@michaeleickermann1706]

Wow, my whole computer was vibrating! What a lot of energy!!! And a quite good sound quality as well. Thanks for sharing this iconic proof of an excellent conductor.

[@Hyslop65]

Worked with Munch in 1967 on the Minnesota Orchestra staff. Superb conductor and better person. The BSO is as good as it gets.

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Thank you

[@johnlowe2010]

Wow. Munch knows every sprint, every sigh, every summit. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@PUCCINIMUSICK]

There must be good reason why Karajan held this Man in the highest esteem. A great conductor indeed.

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Yes like this one!

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Yes

[@闇の戦士香山リカさん]

NHKのクラシック担当のカメラマン、編集スタッフは世界一！主旋律の楽器奏者を順番に映したり、指揮者が強く解釈を伝える場面を映したりと演奏の肝が伝わる。

[@yamato-yosoroku-klausketeer]

豪快で良い演奏!! 木管はしみじみした響き、特にブラスセクションの響きやバランスは個性的!! ミュンシュの指揮は昔、NHKのBSでやってたドキュメンタリーで見たくらい。 戦後、開放されたフランスで喜びのあまりメンデルスゾーンを倍のテンポで降ったとか。 くわしくないけど棒さばきがとても印象的!!

[@yamato-yosoroku-klausketeer]

昔だから？ レンズ？の歪みがちょっとすごい気がする。

[@yamato-yosoroku-klausketeer]

何だろう、豪快なんだけど、不思議と優雅な雰囲気(どう言えばよいのか…)も感じる。 とにかく楽しかった!!

[@ricardonascimento6020]

Espetacular!!! Sem sombra de dúvidas uma das mais convictas Interpretações de todos os tempos. Absolutamente fantástica!!! BRAVO!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MrGer2295]

Remembering CHARLES MUNCH (1891-1968) on his birthday !

[@frankz4900]

Fantastic

[@extrasalt4595]

Terrific. I particularly enjoy the emphasis on the hemiola in the scherzo. Hoomeyow!!

[@lucassanches-g3c]

Conducting wonderfully: 5:41

[@barney6888]

Spectacular.

[@michaelmeyer7426]

Never seen Munch conduct before! Listened to much rep, but never a visual. This explains many things!

[@dylanmoffitt7098]

I think we should form an orchestra using the minority of us who understand how special these old gems are. Why are we not worshiping this great man and his disciples on this stage???

[@ktk2501]

直球勝負の、逞しい演奏。

[@jamescrawford9883]

I have never heard Munch do Beethoven before, this is very exciting indeed. Love his French music of course!

[@arimahhhhhhhh]

見ごたえのある指揮姿ですね。

[@MuzBuz]

Somehow a little bit difference from his often exaggerated gestures. I think he took a good control of it in this great performance.

[@KM-om8ch]

He took control even more in Berliozs symphony fantstique with the radio trench orchestra

[@IvanHernandez-gx4rt]

Until now basically I never understood why Munch was considered one of most iconic probably the best of all French conductors ever. Sadly I lost an enormous time ignoring him!

[@alfredkornfeld7284]

He indeed was wonderful in French music, but not really “French.” He was born in Alsace-Lorraine, served as a sergeant in the German army during WW l and wounded fighting the French, and was the concert master of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under Furtwangler and Bruno Walter. He loved Bach and was a great conductor of Beethoven and Wagner. National identity aside, he was a magnificent artist.

[@spt2648]

確信に満ちた素晴らしい演奏！演奏前に曲目の会場アナウンスがされているけれど、当時はこれが普通だったのでしょうかね。

[@ufocontacy7306]

cerco il video della nona sinfonia diretta da munch con boston

[@efghabcd4126]

トスカニーニのようなきびきびした演奏ですね

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

I grew up with the BSO and had great respect for Erich Leinsdorf, but I think one of the reasons the BSO preferred Munch was simply because Munch got them more excited about music, or a blue teacher said to me, in the finale of Symphony Fantastique , their finger tips and lips caught fire

[@MuzBuz]

Bernstein got some inspiration from him.

[@MrKlemps]

Another reason is that Leonsdorf was very condescending toward them much of the time and was a very pretentious person. It just wore on them.

[@ok-bu7pm]

ミンシュらしいかな。天井桟敷の人々という映画を指揮していますが、最後のカーニバルのシーンは、ノリノリで大暴れしているみたい。気が向かないと素っ気なく、気合が入ると神技というおもしろい人だったとか。

[@robertduggan1531]

6 horns the more the merrier 👍👍

[@paulchristopher2135]

Apocalyptic coda!

[@ルンルン-f6l]

指揮者も楽団員もアメリカ生まれ育ちは、ほぼ皆無な時代ですね、、、、現代のジュリアード音楽院出のノースリーブ女奏者とかに？な世代には堪らない演奏です。

[@加賀谷幸雄-l6c]

ウクライナのゲレンスキー大統領のことです。

[@Fritz_Maisenbacher]

13:17 and a little more ... not mystical, only good conducting

[@atrebil71]

Charles Munch non era certo Toscanini. Il suo gesto era spesso confusionario, e di poco aiuto agli orchestrali. Si faceva troppo prendere dalla musica che dirigeva; un po’ come certi eccessi di Bernstein.

[@jamescrawford9883]

I certainly prefer Munch to Bernstein in most cases!

[@yundichen8332]

and certainly to Toscanini

[@jamescrawford9883]

Agreed!

[@Marrio49]

That lady in the front audience looked like she either didn't enjoy the performance or she was still angry at the US for the Atomic Bombs
