Lux Aeterna: Abbado alla Scala at Work on Verdi's Messa da Requiem

[@linapaolarancati3662]

Meraviglioso Abbado.Quanto mi manchi! così pure Monserrat e Lucia!

[@EduardoCifuentesayucar-mh6rf]

Genial grabación.Montserrat,por las nubes. Inmensa.

[@karlberlin5422]

We are in big sorrow,Mr. Abado. We miss you too much.

[@ZackGasse]

Am I really the first to have found this treasure? Claudio, you are missed, no one to replace you, the calm you exuded is not to be found anymore. Thanks a million for this posting...

[@zauberflute981]

Idem pour moi! MERCI

[@Geoplanetjane]

No, there is an entire abbado recording of the rehearsal of Verdi’s Requiem at la Scala with among, others, Montserrat Caballé. I have yet to find an actual recording of the actual performance.

[@TanyaGryaznova1313]

Claudio Abbado-the Best !!!!!!!!!!!

[@karlberlin5422]

And we miss Montserat Caballe. The Diva absoluta.

[@carloCGN]

I just ADORE when they sing at 6.39 the first "Kyrie Eleison" with one breath. Most of the singers sing "Kyrien" - breath - "Eleison". These do not. It's a pleasure listening to them.

[@hradlednica3340]

Most of the conductors wanted from me to sing it separately (with little pause between those words, not breath) because it is two sepate words. It s not Kyrieleison, it is kyrie_eleison

[@retohofmann5878]

So cool gemacht...gefällt mir sehr...ein Abbado um die 40 auf dem Weg zur endgültigen Meisterschaft mit dem Luzerner Festivalorchester und Mahlers 9. im Jahr 2010. Absolut faszinierendes Zeitdokument! Bravo!

[@dadshomeagain8996]

Abbado war hier 52 Jahre alt.

[@violettavalery857]

Euro Arts Channel, grazie per questo straordinario , unico e irripetibile video delle "PROVE" di questo Requiem. Forse, dico forse, in qualche commento è stato scambiato per una esecuzione. Pazienza(forse sono state anche le collane di perle che hanno indotto in errore!!!) Per chi volesse ascoltare un'esecuzione "al di sopra, dove le aquile volano" consiglio il requiem d Roma del Maestro Abbado del 1970 ambientato in S. Maria in Minerva. Un ringraziamento al Maestro Abbado e tutte le componenti orchestrali. Un ringraziamento alla Signora Lucia Valentini Terrani la quale ha sempre dimostrato talento, preparazione e serietà. Una nota di rammarico? Ci ha lasciato ha lasciato troppo presto. V:V: -:)

[@karlberlin5422]

Wir sind in großer Trauer. Wir vermissen Sie sehr, Mister Abado.

[@katiacassiana5243]

Um grande músico deixou saudades e um brilhante legado! ❤

[@BatyrzhanSmakov]

Meraviglioso!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@tristanrush5526]

Oh dear, this truly is a treasure. I love this. I also love how much of his speaking I can understand, since he's giving musical directions, which I know.

[@catwarm2196]

Это потрясающе...

[@green7apocalyptica]

Its fascinating how Caballe sings so efortless 🥹

[@Nai61a]

You can see the quality of the man and the musician especially from 1.17.06 where they play the Sanctus for the first time. He seldom beat time in an insistent way, but here he does because it is a terrible mess. I can imagine Toscanini flying into a rage! This movement is always tricky and I imagine the acoustic of the church does not help. Abbado stops and has a second go. It is not much better. At the end, you feel for him when he says: "Mamma mia!" But he keeps calm and simply tells them they will have to rehearse it again. Sadly, we don't get to see him work to put it right.

[@bunnybaton5038]

Wonderful comment

[@luigicestaro3893]

Far tacere lo speaker no?

[@PABLOGARCIA-gb5ih]

Cuando con subtitulos en español

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

Looks like Ramey was using a miniature orchestral score 😊

[@NewYork10280]

I think it's funny how the director kept going back to that billboard for no apparent reason.

[@catwarm2196]

Но самый хзолотой состав был у Караяна: Леонтин Прайс, молодой Паваротти, и потрясающий Гяуров. К сожалению меццо не помню, вроде Косотто

[@uttarosalvatore1902]

Si, in effetti anche per me e' l' interpretazione piu' bella, senza escludere Abbado e Giulini, accompagnata da un'orchestra come quella della Scala dei tempi d'oro e da una regia televisiva (anche senza pubblico) che valorizza il Requiem, basta vedere come il regista indugia sul tamburo nel Liber scriptus proferetur. Il mezzosoprano e' Fiorenza Cossotto, grandissima e indimenticabile cantante

[@josepacifico-mc9pr]

L,,' época DORATA DELLA SCALA

[@chung-chiehhung2720]

Who was the soprano during the rehearsal? Did Caballe step in for her or was she too busy to come to the rehearsal so they found someone to fill her during the time?

[@uttarosalvatore1902]

Cecilia Gasdia. Nelle repliche si alternavano i cantanti, credo per impegni gia' presi, oppure per colpa delle case discografiche a cui erano legati. Gli unici elementi che erano presenti sempre, erano Lucia Valentini Terrani che Dio l'abbia in gloria e Samuel Ramey. Infatti nelle prove al pianoforte era presente anche il tenore Chris Meritt che sostituisce l'altro tenore che si vede all'inizio.

[@karlheinzkirchmann6469]

Nowdays the catholic church has banned the original medieval text from liturgia. The original medieval text describes drastically the paines of hell and its fire paines if you enter there after dieing. GUISEPPE VERDI as a dramatic composer recognized the infernal power of the medieval text. He dramatizised the words with his power of dramatizising music. The music strikes you in irresistible spell, again and again.

What year is this?

[@fer-gius1189]

non facciamo in tempo a sentire il M. Muti che appare subito Abbado , è un caso?

[@aliced9372]

Lei intende il" Maestro" Abbado o chi?

[@БорисШалагінов]

In che anno si è svolta questa prova?

[@enthusedtosing9655]

1985 credo.

[@БорисШалагінов]

@@enthusedtosing9655 Grazie!

[@FCOLAXCDG]

❤️🇱🇨!!!

[@DanielKirillov-iv3ww]

1:41:22 haha, too sharp

[@MrKlemps]

Only the Germans would have a voice-over during the opening measures! And it continues!! The speaker thinks what he has to say is more interesting than the music or what Maestro Abbado has to say about the music. As in SHUT THE HELL UP!!

[@pega17pl]

Sorry, it's a documentation about Verdi's Mass not a rehearsal. Therefore very interesting and important speaker says. Maybe helpful if you translate text at info box?

[@ChoirBass2]

And it's only the German translation of the latin requiem text. This is quite helpful to understand much better Verdi's music

[@Yves_Ka]

If you want to listen without a vice over listen/watch concert version of the Requiem there are enough of them on YT. Any voice over commentaries are more justified than your rather silly comment about Germans
