Claudio Abbado: Hearing the Silence (Sketches for a Portrait by Paul Smaczny)

[@annec3728]

He moulds music as a potter uniquely to himself yet to all who understand his utter devotion and dedication. Absolutely beautiful!

[@rogerpetermann4193]

Pour moi Claudio Abbado est le plus grand chef de tous les temps. Merci...

[@styleexnietz1900]

How far human can be free, great... My deepest gratitude to Claudio Abbado.

[@suedwestfunk]

Danke aus tiefstem Herzen an alle Beteiligten für eine unvergessliche Stunde größter Lebensfreude und Ermutigung. Claudio Abbado verdient dieses fragile, flüchtige, unzerstörbare Denkmal seines außergewöhnlichen Lebens und Wirkens.

[@vilemflusser9794]

[@aileenteo7027]

Awesome!!! There is no conductor like Claudio Abbado!!!!!

[@12345677396]

Un bellissimo documento per ricordare uno dei più geniali direttori d'orchestra di tutti i tempi ... per me il più geniale!!!

[@nieuwegeljo5645]

BEAUITFUL to see and watch this extraordinary man. R.I.P

[@klassikpunk_]

Schwer beeindruckend ist nicht nur Claudio Abbado sondern auch die Worte von Bruno Ganz.

[@myosotisarvensis]

Thank you for this .

[@irenemoews5675]

What a wonderful, beautiful documentary. Unfortunately we have to miss now both, Claudio Abbado and Bruno Ganz. 16/2/2019

[@madamzajj980]

❤😢

[@JesseReith]

This is absolutely wonderful to watch. Claudio will be one of my main inspirators for the rest of my life.

[@karlberlin5422]

Claudio Abbado. Ein Mensch, Musikversteher, Orchesterleiter und Musikdeuter. Er war sicherlich liebenswürdig in seiner Natürlichkeit und Offenheit . Er ist für viele unsterblich. Danke für viele Jahre des Musik-Genusses. 💐🎹

[@richardjurgens5187]

Such a miraculous conductor. As Kolja Blacher says, you can hear the whole score. Every layer, moving in time. Nice touch in the documentary: lots of endings, when you hear the appreciative silence that follows.

[@cluengove]

Extraordinario documental. Claudio Abbado, Gran Maestro de Maestros. In Venezuela siamo riconoscenti dei suoi sforzi e dedizione per seminare il senzo di perfezione, rigurosita e umilta, nei giovani musicisti e profesori di El Sistema. Sicuramente la sua semina ci dara Direttori alla sua altezza. Many thaks Paul Smaczny and EuroArts .

[@adelaskari7952]

beautifully made to show most acclaim conductor in the world, deeply moving ..thanks R.I.P Claudio..

[@agelessprajna2955]

this documentary was a joy to watch and fitting tribute to a very inspiring human being and master conductor; thank you so much for the upload

Stenhammar stråkkvartett

[@mercedescorcheroquesada]

Eres mi DIOS. Nada me hace sentir y amar la música como ver DIRIGIR la Filarmonica de Berlín como mi ÍDOLO Abbado y sus maravillosas MANOS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@durhamgrigg3125]

Wow. Thank you EuroArts for this wonderful insight into one of the world’s genuinely loved and great musicians and conductors.

[@meltodd4103]

When I watch and hear him I imagine that he is in heaven alongside Mahler and Bruckner. One of the great regrets of my life that I never saw him conduct Mahler.

[@lmspr]

Minute 27:30 on the power of silence at the end of works such as the German Requiem: "People often ask me what kind of audience I like best. For me the best audience is one that stays silent as long as possible after a quite ending, say in pieces that have to do with death. The silence is such that you can't just applaud. And the longer that silence lasts, the more you feel the hall and the audience. The people hold their breath, and you can hear it. It's an entirely different acoustic."

[@zogzog1063]

Lisette, hello from New Zealand. I think we are in a minority but I agree with you. I love your expression 'power of silence'. Yours is most profound KZbin comments ever. Thank you.

[@seasidefoto]

I do not know much about the conductor. But his expression and the pure musical concentration make me humble.

[@christopherdandeker6122]

A beautiful programme. Truly wonderful

[@stutti42]

R. I. P Bruno Ganz! My condolences to your family and friends.

[@stutti42]

Tomorrow! I want to remember Abbado's 86th birthday! (26, Jun 1933 ~ 20, Jan 2014 )

[@gianpaoloanselmi4285]

Irraggiungibile... inarrivabile.. è l'arte nell'arte ,l 'artista nell'artista,la musica nella musica!!

[@LonaMarieSoprano]

Incredibly inspiring!

[@marcosPRATA918]

This is all the sound and silence that permeates it from the beginning to the apparent end. It is a dynamic plasticity where a diffuse OM underlies everything. In addition we have a sensitive educator, music needs this.

[@davidpark5840]

Maestro Abbado, Sie fehlen mir.

[@antonioha4551]

Grande Abbado!!!! Mi manchi tanto tanto tanto!

[@retohofmann5878]

Schön zu sehen, wie er im alter gereift ist, sich die Bewegungen geändert haben. Was für ein Vorbild als Musiker und auch als Mensch. Bescheiden, dienend, sich selbst treu. Einer der ganz Grossen.

[@renzocomin9871]

Grazie Maestro!!

[@idaksnatur8316]

Musik, Mensch und Magie==== Natur pur.

[@mercedescorcheroquesada]

Hace casi 25 años que sigo a C. ABBADO. Voy a cumplir 80 y solo él y Carlos Kleiber hijo me fascinan y me hacen sentircomo si estuviera en otro mundo. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@albertopelissier]

..Abbado, inarrivabile, un dono dal celo

[@bloedSPIELEND]

In die Stille gegangen...der, der uns die Stille in derv Musik gelehrt!

[@pepemartinez1007]

Abbado un Gigante!

[@fernandabresciani6618]

Grazie Claudio. nanda

[@salvjocorner]

Immenso Claudio Abbado.

[@pega17pl]

Bei Karajan durfte das Orchester der Berliner Philharmoniker keine einzige Note ohne ihn spielen, Abbado befreite es aus dieser Sklaverei und zeigte ihm, wie es selbständig als "Klangkörper" zusammen (nicht miteinander!) spielen konnte.

[@gordonmcgeorge5592]

Can there possibly have been a greater conductor of classical music on this planet of our's ? If anyone has found one please let me know .A visionary indeed .Great Program with great insights into maestro Abbado

[@MrsPisaroni]

You have taken the words out of my mouth ! This was an incredibly moving portrait of the greatest of conductors. The New World Symphony excerpts were sublime.

[@MrGelusion]

he was one of the greatest

[@RenamPablo]

Probably the only conducter which liked silenc after a performance!

[@denise2169]

This indicates the extraordinary level of profound understanding and passion that Abbado had for music and poetry! Such an inspiration!

[@Pathy1]

Bruno Ganz findet auch die passenden Worte!

[@riethulst8487]

Wat een energie!

[@annec3728]

Once I heard Le Sacre with the LSO I was a convert. OK not a 'convert' but I have followed to now (3.1.2021)

[@keithyeung9097]

11:29 What is this piece? It is not Bruckner 1st or 9th I think, but the internet can't provide information about this piece. Does anyone know?

[@culturaactiva3505]

Symphony of Psalms, Stravinsky

[@Itsandy22]

is there an english version of this anywhere?

[@Euroarts]

Itsandy22 We are adding english subtitles to this. So far, half of the film has already subtitles. The rest is going to follow in the next days.

[@Itsandy22]

Amazing!! Thanks so much!

[@Euroarts]

Itsandy22 Ok, subtitles are complete now. Enjoy.

[@Itsandy22]

EuroArtsChannel Amazing, thanks so much!!

[@WinrichNaujoks]

[@Quim1441]

[@torterrakart7249]

Joaquim Méndez No, it is actually the Prometheus Suite by Luigi Nono.

[@telekszabolcs1821]
