Ask any orchestral musician and he will probably tell you that Strauss's music is the most dificult to play and conduct. And D.Juan must be on the top of the list with all its complexity. This piece must have been played thousands of times since its creation by hundreds of orchestras but I dare anyone to point out a clearly more revealing, cleaner, tighter than this one. For me, D.Juan is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it, brings tears to my eyes and, if I'm alone and don't risk beeing interned, I conduct like crazy! When hearing it try to "dive" deep inside that "mass" of sound so perfectly combined and harmonized and every time you will find something, some detail, something important to the whole you never noticed before. A treasure...

[@jan-pietervanwaasbergen2441]

You said it so right. I am Dutch and a classical music junk, the first time I heard this piece was in a concert in Amsterdam, I was so completely moved by emotion and every time I hear this piece I have that same emotion.

Supposed to be a joke but you obviously missed it. Interned means incarcerated, put behind bars, in this case in a mental institution for waving a baton like mad pretending to be a conductor. Clear now?

[@simonhall9435]

2:20 amazing how two glock notes can be so nuanced

[@jannisopel]

I read this comment and was expecting gunfire. If you want to shorten Glockenspiel then you can say Glocken notes which means bells. It's true the percussionist is as much a virtuoso as everyone in the orchestra; and that is needed to play Strauss.

Don Juan is - for me - the work where Strauss truly found his own voice and fully stepped out of the Brahmsian world of his previous works and boy did he do it with a bang!

[@ronaldbeield7946]

Just a fabulous piece of music by a genius composer. One of the few where the oboe is given a great solo, and here the guy nailed it. To the novice who has not been exposed to classical music, this should be the introductory work. If he/she is not bowled over, it's never gonna happen

[@ciupenhauer]

thanks for making me pay more attention to the oboe

[@philthefox1948]

7:32 you are right. And what about the osmosis between flute and oboe ? Extraordinary. By the way, they are both Spanish...

[@Berny27]

It’s a very cool piece, but this won’t hook those who haven’t liked classical music before. For many reasons, I think that Danzon no. 2 by Marquez should be the “introductory work”… and who knows, maybe it will be one day

[@philthefox1948]

Orozco Estrada doit être porté en triomphe avant de partir pour d'autres cieux (Wiener Sinfoniker). Quel chef! Et quel orchestre !! Merci pour tout. Solo de hautbois extraordinaire.

One sunny day, in April of 1965, a twelve-year-old, friend of mine, Bob, told me of a strange response his parents made to his question about what it was like 'making love'. They brought him into the living room. where the record player was and set the needle on a spot in the early part of the recording of "Don Juan" by Richard Strauss. His father said, "Son, when the music starts your mother and I will leave the room and you listen closely to the music; that will be the answer to your question and we will be back in three minutes." I did as my father and mother suggested and listened very closely...while listening it was like that feeling I get when I start on a swing, going up and down slowly at first then getting really high and jump off...I'm going to like 'making love' when my turn comes!!! That is what Bob said. PS, on the KZbin video it starts at the 1:40 time and ends at the 4:15 time.

As for the loud, nasal oboe in this recording, I’ll take Ray Still (Chicago) at the peak of his career in 1975, or John Mack (Szell/Cleveland) for musicality and sheer beauty of sound.
