Dvorak - Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Conducted by Rafael Kubelik
Herkulessaal Munich December, 1977

[@orinobrien6955]

We were so lucky in the NY Philharmonic to work with him as a guest conductor during the 1970's and '80's. He was one of the greatest conductors I ever worked with and I still miss his warm and intense approach. Our performances of "House of the Dead" were some of the most exciting and meaningful experiences that we had: also Bartok's "Bluebeard's Castle"... and Tschaikovsky 6th Deeply felt and communicated.

[@mcdaddy6512]

Couldn't agree more. I understudied a role in that production and his warmth and humanity as a deeply connected artist has stayed with me all these years.

[@karennoble1168]

The best conductor, Czech, for this symphony! And so charismatic!

[@stevejd64]

There was only one conductor who could truly accurately represent Dvorak's 9th and that was Kubelik. May he RIP peacefully. It will be a long time before anyone dares to challenge him... and they will ultimately fail. Bravo Maestro. Odpočívej v pokoji.

[@leestamm3187]

Kubelik excelled in Dvořák, as did Talich, Ančerl and Mackerras.

[@olmaleo]

@@leestamm3187 I totally agree, but adding almost Fricsay 😄Maybe Kertész?

감사합니다

[@MrTrashcan1]

Was fortunate enough to see Kubelik conduct this with the Cleveland Orchestra back in the mid-70s. They would give students the front rows, so while I couldn't see the entire orchestra, I got a great view of the conductor.

[@titanicman9329]

Lucky bastard. Here I am, a 15 year old and I haven't had the pleasure of seeing and listening to such a stunning performance like this before.

[@mariaterryvido8248]

Big Dvorak ! Big Kubelik! Big orchestra! Marvellous!

[@nannojonkers3817]

Kubelik, the poet among the great conductors. Marvellous. And in some way: nonsense, this best performance thing; he or he, no not he, etc. This symphony can be rendered in several ways. All the great have something of their own to say about it in their performance.

[@johnun2592]

So great to see Kubelik live here! Bravo & thx to share!

[@FabulosayFit]

This is great!

[@user-vo2xc1wr5x]

ベルリン、チェコ、バイエルンと何れもそれは素晴らしい演奏でが、何故かバイエルンの演奏には素朴さと懐かしさを感じます。最高です。

[@leestamm3187]

A splendid performance. Kubelik and Dvořák were always a great combination.

[@federricoilgrande]

Chissà perchè tutti si affannino nel proclamare qual sia la "miglior versione"....che non esiste ! Ognuno di questi grandi direttori ha lasciato una sua impronta indelebile, invece di farne un concorso di bellezza impariamo ad apprezzarne le differenti visioni, la vis interpretativa, la forza espressiva.....

[@willsolt]

Brillante, Ostentosa, Maravillosa de sonidos, magistralmente dirigida por el Maestro Rafael Kubelik...tope con una suerte al encontrar aquel disco...luego fue el festin musical para mis oidos...considero que es la mejor version de la Sinfonia del "Nuevo Mundo" de Dvorak.

[@CarlosGarcia-pb7vt]

Concuerdo....su versión en disco es la mejor

[@epnsong]

It is amazing that the American experience shines through this amazing performance.

[@pilouetmissiou]

c'est simplement sublime....

[@josemuelasgarcia2616]

Gran version del director checo.ese desenvuelve en su salsa como. pez en el río.Que sensibilidad la de este directo romántico.

[@mozartian100]

第二楽章の四つ目の和音にいつも鳥肌が立つよ。 第四楽章も速い、いい九番だね。 クーベリックは大抵期待を裏切らない。

[@angelosilva4051]

Immenso meraviglioso Kubelik.

[@mcbigweener]

Literally the best Dvorak 9th ever

[@maximem1033]

Je pense que Kubelik est, sans aucun doute possible le chef d'orchestre le plus charismatique de sa génération ! Malheureusement, il a marcher dans l'ombre de Karajan ce qui a fait qu'il n'est connu que des mélomanes...

[@giuseppecattaneo4369]

stupenda esecuzione, e grande REGIA immagini che finalmente mettono in risalto anche i musicisti

[@eggshellskullrule7971]

The version of "From the New World" I have been accustomed to since the 1980's when I got acquainted with it. Very convincing interpretation, with reasonable colours and tempos applied, ending up with huge satisfaction to the audience emotionally. The winds are terrific in particular and the audio from the LP and the CD I own, is up there and past the Everest and the Mercury labels in general. I take this interpretation as my own ref.

[@lsmart]

What a treasure! There are so many sensational Czech recordings conducted by Kubelik on the internet, but there are almost no videos available. What a treat to see him conducting the greatest Czech composition of them all, in his conducting prime with the supreme VPO. He may have been the greatest conductor of this musical genre, had it not been for a certain Hungarian Jewish conductor named Iztvan Kertesz, who was just about incomparable in almost anything he conducted, esp. in Czech works. But Kubelik is the closest on his heels in Dvorak conducting.

[@crawyler]

N'oubliez tout de même pas le grand Karel Ancerl ! Mais Kubelik est superbe… et vous avez raison de parleri de Kertesz, un tout grand aussi !

[@lamsorlu]

La mejor versión jamás superada por nadie.Extraordinario Kubelik.Fantástica la Orquesta a sus órdenes. Gracias jbmg17.

[@TheRunner75]

[@lamsorlu]

TheRunner75 Ok, is a great version in Stereo DG, but my favorite is Kubelik. It is a question of pleasures,but thanks for announcing this excellent version.Saludos

[@TheRunner75]

I like Kubelik too. Kertesz is good too.

only a czech can conduct that music and make it sound like his home .

It is interesting to hear the similarities between this and the greatest work of Aaron Copland who was clearly influenced by his European brother.

[@paradoxicus]

Rafael Kubelik,mucho mas grande que recordado. Aquí el sinfonísmo logra la perfección. Interpretación llena de matices. Cabe hablar de "la mejor" subida en You Tube

[@bastiatintheandes4958]

The Master Himself!

[@MrTrashcan1]

There's a video of Alan Gilbert/NYPhil where commenters are criticizing him for not doing the repeat in the first movement. Rafael Kubelik, one of the greatest Czech conductors, never did the repeat.

[@gropiaf6029]

[@user-gs9ii5jg6v]

cute musica!

[@vitekkoubsky3204]

The version conducted by Karel Ančerl is truly remarkable one. There is another one from Herbert von Karajan, hard to say which one is better.

[@GoldinDr]

Kubelik was a thoughtful conductor and is underappreciated today. I was enjoying this performance until the flubbed chord at 22:00. Awful flat brass.

[@ianma319]

[@saifulrimkeit296]

A friend said this of Rafel Kubelk: "Anyway, one of the last monophonic performances that has never been surpassed is the Tchaikovsky 6th Symphony in Chicago, in case you find it anywhere. Conducted by Rafael Kubelik." If anyone finds this performance, please post the link below. Thank you. BTW, this particular performance sends adrenal/electrical impulses down my spine and arms. :-)

[@jmccracken1963]

If you have a working turntable, you can find it on a Mercury Records re-release album titled "Chicago Symphony Orchestra The Kubelik Legacy Vol. I." The catalog number is MG3-4500. Also contained in this 3-LP set are "Pictures at an Exhibition," the Mozart Symphony No. 38 ("Prague"), and "The Moldau" and "From Bohemia's Meadows and Forests" from "Ma Vlast."

Kubelik's early 1950s recording with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is "the best." watch?v=CmNp85ZyDQ8

[@Sachiron41]

Je suis absolument d'accord avec Lucien Naud, le meilleur version est celle enregistrée en 1958 par Karel Ancerl (a la disc "Supraphone")

[@luciennaud9680]

Bonne version mais je reste avec dans l'oreille celle enregistrée en 1958 par Karel Ancerl à la tête de la philharmonie Tchèque. Autre version fort recommandable, que je n'ai pas trouvé ici, enregistrée par Néeme Jarvi dirigeant l'orchestre royal d'écosse à la fin des années 80 pour Chandos avec une prise de son superbe.

[@MichaelRupprecht]

besser geht's nicht!

[@TheRunner75]

Lucien Naud, Désolé ; la version de Karel Ancerl de 1958 sur Supraphon est carrément inécoutable tellement le son est mauvais, strident et agressif dans les aigus. D'autre part, même si j'apprécie son interprétation, je trouve son second mouvement, le largo, trop rapide et manquant de poésie. La meilleure version, comme le dit si justement Adam Czarnowski, c'est Ferenc FRICSAY avec le Philharmonique de Berlin en 1960. Je crois que je serai mort avant que cette version soit surpassée un jour. (4ème mouvement à : "watch?v=1grGSJlbUnE" ; on trouve les 3 autres sur 3 liens différents)

[@zdenekmejzlik8769]

[@igligl100]

Fricsay is still the best.
