I weep uncontrollably every time I hear the final trio from Der Rosenkavalier. Every . . . single . . . time. Music that touches the soul. Opera at its finest.

This is the most miraculous realization I have ever witnessed. Carlos Kleiber overlooked nothing. ASTOUNDING.

Would that the opera world had more of Kleibers caliber. I was fortunate enough to sing this opera with these three remarkable ladies. Unforgettable.

I don't know much but this much I do know, this is just HEAVENLY music..... Kleiber just feels it, waving the stick, following his heart.....

The amazing thing here is not the fine singing but how Kleiber coaxes the true and glorious proprietary Viennese (and echt Strausian) sound from this greatest of orchestras. Listen good because their specific sound and style are practically extinct.

[@trent12801]

This unique performance, showing what Kleiber actually looked like to his singers, is the stuff of legend and revelation and hope. It is amazing that it even exists. In his new book Barber talks about what the opera meant to his teacher, and how he used a kind of x-ray vision to probe far, far below its conventional surfaces. Hearing what Kleiber says about Rosenkavalier is fascinating. So too hearing from his singers, esp Barbara Bonney. BTW, all of Act III with CK inserted is available.

[@donaldallen1771]

Justin Froese I love Kleiber, but when I heard this, I had exactly the same reaction you did -- what is he doing? Then I looked at the score. Kleiber is doing EXACTLY what Strauss instructed, down to metronome markings. I was surprised, because I've never heard another conductor do this -- not Karajan, not Bernstein, not Abbado. But it's in the score -- check it out.

Please.... Where can i get this complete DVD with Kleiber an the screen... I am getting mad because i cannot find it....

[@muslit]

The singing is marvelous. Unfortunately, as much respect as I have for Kleiber, he's clocking in at 100 to the quarter note at Marschallin's "wird er so...", where Strauss specifies 88 to the quarter. For such a glorious moment, Kleiber is much too brisk.

[@whitfitzgerald638]

muslit I totally disagree; it's building to a climax, the truly glorious moment hasn't happened yet. Furthermore, there is a LONG history of tempo modification in Romantic German music (it's pretty extensively documented in Brahms's case, and extends into the 20th century with Strauss and Mahler). Thank god for this video, because you can actually see Kleiber pushing the tempo; I think it would be insulting to say that Kleiber doesn't know what he's doing here. One of the conventions contemporary to Strauss synonomized speed with dynamic, crescendi with accelerandi, etc.-this is clearly heard. Yes, composers give metronome markings, but legendary conductor Bruno Walter (who is STEEPED in the Mahler/Strauss tradition) writes in his *Of Music and Music Making*: “The composer, to be sure, tries his best to make us find the right tempo by his indications. But not even the apparently incontrovertible tempo indication by means of metronome numbers can give us a reliable idea of the speed. A marking such as half = 92 gives us a speed that may be right for the first few bars, but must needs lose its validity as soon as a change in expression demands a modification of speed.” Not only was this appropriate, but it was expected. I think taking the passage more slowly would bog it down-totally prevent the accumulation of energy that, under Kleiber's baton, he launches skyward at the climax. Kleiber knows what he's doing, and I think it masterful.

[@bawo104]

Ja, ich weiß, aber die KaufDVD hat Kleiber nicht eingeblendet... das ist ja meine Problem :-//

Conducting is NOT following from behind, just the opposite - inducing the performance, setting the flow in motion, creating the atmosphere of what you want the music to express.

[@mulliganjansen737]

Imo great conducting supersedes leading or following

[@muslit]

The bottom line is this: I respect that you cherish this performance. But I'd hope you'd give me the same respect for my opinion. One doesn't have to agree. By the way, I played Traviata in Florence with Kleiber in the 80's and I thought it was great!
