I have a performance of Beethoven’s fifth conducted by him with the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra and choir 1964 truly an amazing performance, still have it on vinyl.

[@christaschiek4786]

Er war ein Genie… und das war sein letztes Auftreten mit dem großen Orchester. Seine beginnende Demenz war ihm anzusehen und sicher, das Orchester hätte das auch alleine spielen können🎶 Aber das war die Reminiszenz an den überragenden Dirigent und er hatte es sich mehr als verdient. 🎶👏❤️🌹

[@alex45.08]

​@@christaschiek4786mir ist nicht bekannt, dass Karajan an Demenz erkrankt gewesen wäre. Ich habe einige Biographien zu ihm gelesen (auch die sehr umfangreiche von Richard Osborne), habe sicher nicht jeden Punkt aus seinem Leben noch hundertprozentig parat, aber davon von einer Demenzerkrankung oder kognitiven Einbußen habe ich im Zusammenhang mit ihm noch nie gehört. Er war bis zum Ende seines Lebens noch aktiv - er hat teils sogar neue Stücke einstudiert wie den Maskenball von Verdi - und klar im Kopf (was man in Interviews von 1988 ein Jahr vor seinem Tod beispielsweise noch sehr gut sehen kann). Er war körperlich sehr geschwächt, hatte unwahrscheinliche Schmerzen und Herzprobleme (er ist ja an einem Herzinfarkt gestorben), aber geistig war er noch für sein Alter voll auf der Höhe. Er hat am Tag seines Todes noch mit dem Sony Chef über neue Pläne gesprochen. Eine Demenz hatte er nach meinem Kenntnisstand nicht. Es würde mich deswegen sehr wundern, wenn Sie mir etwas anderes berichten könnten, aber ich lasse mich für den unwahrscheinlichen Fall gerne eines Besseren belehren.

[@tiago3m]

The first and only time I heard this live, with some friends (who never heard classical music), I was in the front row, next to the conductor. After this introduction we were squished into the chairs, gripping the supports with our hands as if we were afraid of being thrown out. I have never felt such a thing and I have attended hundreds of concerts. I've already marveled at the ninth symphony, thrilled to the limit with Verdi's Requiem, excited about Respighi's Rome Pins... but never as scared and crushed as this opening. I hope one day also watch Mahler's eighth symphony. But I believe that nothing will surpass this.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

It is a powerful piece. I played it in 9th grade for a great director. Love it.

[@Yaitzboy]

@@JohnRodriguesPhotographerHave you ever played it for an Elvis impersonator before they walk out on stage for their concert?

[@fred_2021]

I see once more the words 'scared' and 'crushed'; this time regarding music, but oft with reference to the cosmos. Not that I'm criticizing. It's just that, alas, where others perceive something terrible, I'm able to see only breathtaking beauty. Perhaps I'm a relic of the past, overtaken by new meanings of old vocabulary.

[@Rogerw1nz]

And the opening music for “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

[@vesakaitera2831]

@@Rogerw1nz, this first part of the tone poem was played, when the Moon flight programs started in the Finnish TV in the sixties. First it was only blackness and then the Moon emerged to the center of the screen, when the last chords of this piece were heard. It created the feeling, that we would now witness a truely historical moment. This piece was selcted probably, because it was so dramatic and enough short. I assume, that some other countries migh have used this same piece in those occasions in their TV.

[@IvanHernandez-gx4rt]

You haven't seen anything sir, Von Karajan at this time was in decadence. You needed to see Karajan at the 60's or 70's to see his real potential. The orchestra was like no other in the world. Today Berlin is nothing!

[@LoGStein]

@@IvanHernandez-gx4rt How could you claim that Berlin is nothing today? That's just a very random and untrue statement which you didn't even care to justify in any way. Why are there people like you who seem to get fun out of criticizing everything. Your statement is outright ridiculous and no person of any importance in the musical world would agree with you. The Berlin Philharmonics are still considered one of the best orchestras in the world alongside the Wiener Philharmonics.

[@JaneGiesbrecht]

@@IvanHernandez-gx4rt I agree, to see him in his prime had to be the ultimate experience.

[@JaneGiesbrecht]

@@LoGStein I, too would like to have watched this conductor in the 60's and 70's. It would have been totally awesome to see him in the prime of his life. You say,"The Berlin Philharmonics are still considered one of the best orchestras in the world." In the 60's and 70's it WAS THE VERY BEST IN THE WORLD. Not one of the best!

[@LoGStein]

@@JaneGiesbrecht I personally am from Berlin, and I would personally say, that they are the best orchestra to the day. But as much as this is debatable, it is also debatable wether the Berlin Philharmonics were the best back in the day. The reason why many considered them to be is that Karajan was very influential in the European classical music industry, he could basically do and say whatever he wanted and people would agree with it. When comparing old recordings with new ones I really don't see that the orchestra got any worse. It doesn't sound the same, obviously, but not worse I believe.
