A splendid performance. Controlled yet full of emotion. I watched this live soon after my wife's death from cancer in summer of that year. It was uplifting and in Sunset I felt her spirit giving me hope and love for the future - a truly remarkable piece of music.

my favorite part is the "calm before the storm"... i can picture it all like i just saw it. There is a stillness, there is no wind, no anything, its all just... calm. and then a few droplets of rain as the clouds come rolling in... followed by the wind picking up, as well as the rain. it's amazing how one can create such a scene through music alone... i can't imagine how moving it would be to hear that in person. bravo

I listen to music like this and wonder why there's any problems in the world. This is why I want to be a composer. I respect them more than anyone else. They have found the best way to unite many groups of diverse people towards a common goal. The end result is the most mind blowing music that has ever been created. I'm a teenager. I'm grateful that instead of doing drugs and being a jerk I can experience Strauss' epic adventure.

Let the composer himself convey what this symphony means to him, writing in his journal upon the death of Gustav Mahler in 1911 (according to Wikipedia): "It is clear to me that the German nation will achieve new creative energy only by liberating itself from Christianity ... I shall call my alpine symphony: Der Antichrist, since it represents: moral purification through one's own strength, liberation through work, worship of eternal, magnificent nature." How did this "new creative energy" work out for Strauss's beloved Germany, in the light of the subsequent World Wars I and II (which he managed to survive, passing away in 1949)?
@g.r.69557 жыл бұрын
Well, it is obvious that it did not. In C. G. Jung's words, Christianity was always like "a cloak worn over age-old primitiveness" for the average European. It was not that the German nation needed to liberate themselves from Christianity, but that they had to be aware of the pagan and primitive within. Wotan, the God of war, was awakened and had his revenge on them. My grandfather lost his life becasue of the Second World War, my parents suffered tremendously. To this day, so do his children, including myself. How can such a creative nation that makes such great music be so primitive? Could it be because they lack what every religion tries to teach: Humility????

What an awesome amazing alpine journey I've just been on. This truly epic performance with the VPO ranks as total perfection as far as I'm concerned. The main beautiful theme that runs through this majestic music makes the hairs on the back of my head stand to attention as does that incredible powerful thunderstorm part with the hardworking lads on percussion which of course includes the great sound of the wind machine. I really wish that I'd been there at the Albert Hall on that day but nevertheless I can listen to this piece of excellent Strauss anytime I like as I still have it on an old cassette by the LAPO/ Mehta.

Haitink by now, after Von Karajan, Kempe and others in modern recordings, has grown for me into 'the King of the Alpine'. Nowhere else nowadays this total grasp on the whole and this peculiar Straussian mix of tension and serenity. To mention just two superior features of this unsurpassed rendition.

Just today I've introduced myself to Dvorak's _Rusalka_, Dukas' _Ariane et Barbe Bleue_ (like, he wrote something other than the _Sorcerer's Apprentice_, am I right?) and now this magnificent _Alpine Symphony_. It's a lot to take in all at once, but it just fascinates how _inexhaustible_ of a fountain an orchestra is. And there's still _so_ much exploration to be done by each one of us, classical enthusiasts...

Yes, the sea is vast. I usually end up exhausting onde composer at a time. Right now I'm focusing a lot on Brahms. There's this playlist of concert excerpts from Berliner Philharmoniker on YT that is really good as an introductory platform to the composer's music (I mean, beyond his 5th Hungarian Dance). Actually, I should listen some more of it right now.
