Masterclass with Herbert von Karajan

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

For me it is Fantastic to listen to the great Karajan. Hope many will learn from his wisdom of the art of music! Brynjar Hoff

Bar lines are the curse of our music; it usually make us dismember a whole phrase into separate parts. Such Karajanian concept of music. :)

Camilla Maxild​​​​ Some of his interpretation and recordings are the standard. His operas were grandiose. On the recording domain he was a visionary. Please, indeed he's polarizing due to his polished, modern sound but that's now on the realm of opinion. I was once repelled when I heard his musicmaking at first but it went 180° since then. But judging his music negatively due to his Nazi past is dead wrong.

[@Gesundheit888]

@@I.amthatrealJuan His Nazi past was so sincere, he knew what it was all about. Most people don't have a clue. Here is something to consider: *Europa the last battle.* It's now on yt.

After too much immersion into HIP (historically informed performance) in this century, I now find Karajan's vibrato strikingly refreshing. Having said that, my current favourite is Paavo Järvi.

[@painetcirque5695]

it's not God, neither Bernstein, it's von Karajan and my favorite Conductor ever. No one has made it thus far to his arts like conducting. When I see him Conducting an orchestra, I switch off the sound and still hear the music performed by his orchestra. That powerful his abilities are that you can't miss the beauty and perfection he sets on stage through the orchestra. Many of the composers and mostly Beethoven would be grateful to have von Karajan so sublime approaching the beauty they endeavored through their creation. They might even be mesmerized at how much more they expressed, without even themselves knowing it when they created the masterpieces to which Karajan had dedicated his life to reveal.

I don't know if Karajan is rehearsing the 'cello section on its own in a room somewhere, or whether the rest of the orhestra is present but out of camera shot. Either way, this gives a clue to Karajan's overall sound. Sectional rehearsals develop the orchestra's sonority and promote the ensemble. The orchestra listens to itself better, and this communicates itself to an audience . . .

Ridiculous, this is not a masterclass, it's a lecture. The other conductor might as well sit down and listen with all the others.

[@gradpigodemosviedaff]

Absolutely. As sadly almost every Karajan-Video: A lot of self-representation. (I suspect, the whole rehearsal was rehearsed too)

[@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist]

@@gradpigodemosviedaff His films use 8mm( expensive) format so I suspect the rehearsal was indeed rehearsed. A trade off in spontaneity but the look is remarkably sharp. The Tchaikovsky piano concerto (1960s) with Weissenberg is a case in point.

It's rather unlikely. Vienna Phil has had NO music director for ages and Karajan was no exception. So he has NEVER been "director" of Vienna Phil (conducted them very often though) and therefore couldn't offer a "directorship" to Bernstein. Regarding Berlin it is very unlikely in the same way: Karajan was at the moment of his death no longer at the helm of the Berlin Phil, he had resigned in April 1989.

Ach du meine Güte... zum Glück gibts solche Dirigenten heute nicht mehr.

[@EttasFavourites]

Ach du meine Güte... zum Glück gibts heute noch immer Dirigenten die grossartig sind. In my opinion it has been a huge job of his followers (Abado/Rattle) to create a new personal signature on the Berlin Phil. Bravo Sir Simon Rattle, that you are there as the real follower of the Emperor, by creating a new view on conductors and communication between conductors, the orchestra and the audience.

[@Pricher1991]

EttasFavourites I can't see the relation to my comment...

[@EttasFavourites]

Pricher1991 You say: "Ach du meine Güte... zum Glück gibts solche Dirigenten heute nicht mehr." What do you mean by that? Or you admire Karajan, or absolutely not. I answer: "Ach du meine Güte... zum Glück gibts heute noch immer Dirigenten die grossartig sind." Why? Because Karajan is "grossartig", great, of a huge caliber. The way he was conducting or, like in the video, explaining, might be disputable now, but in THAT time it was different, ALL was different. He made something HUGE out of the orchestra that became the Berlin Phil. That name was/is a quality label. Created by Karajan. Famous, worldwide. It was holy. It is holy. Those who were his followers (conductors) had to compete with Karajan's Art and 1. or continue with the same way of working 2. or creating a complete new view on conducting and organizing an orchestra like Sir Simon Rattle did. The HUGE task Sir Simon Rattle took on his shoulders became a success. He did it. He could create a new Berlin Phil. He signed the orchestra with his own signature. Only the one who is bigger than Karajan can fade out Karajan's signature. Karajan agrees with it, wherever he might be in the hereafter. He would have been delighted about Sir Simon Rattle's job, Art Job.

[@rubolf2153]

+Pricher1991 warum?

[@GoogleClassical]

Rattle has taken away the harness Karajan had imprisoned the orchestra in. A harness can be excellent, but music is there to be expressed freely, and Karajan was a dictator, in his way, yes, he deserves to be an icon, but I prefer Rattle. So much more intense, so much more open, free, liberated. Rattle the liberator. Karajan the emperor, the imprisoner.

[@HDBerlin]

undoubtedly great, but after knowing that karajan became a Nazi Party member already in 1931, my enthusiasm is quite diminished.

Pathetic. Anyone watching this knows the history Einstein. Anything to get a woke rant whilst checking Wikipedia to appear profound.

Typical progressive. Karajan was entirely opportunistic and not ideological during Hitler's rise to power, using the Nazis to boost his career, 1946 afterwards he seen his membership card as a hindrance, so he had to hide it until his death.
