Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Berliner Philharmoniker by Herbert von Karajan always the best!

[@Arwen328]

Heroism. My respect, Maestro!

[@timoheim4144]

I think it's brave to call a record by Berliner Philharmoniker "horrible". I checked the score, because 0:09 sounded alright to me an I have to say: It has to be C# major and not minor, BUT IT IS C# MAJOR on the recording! What you might hear as an minor chord is the change from E-Major to C#-Major from first to second phrase. So please check first and comment afterwards.

Verdi would be astonished!

[@hectorhugomoyano9518]

EXCELENTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@spookyprim]

That is how it is supposed to be played at 0:09. My high school orchestra is playing this right now. My directors thought it sounded funny as well but that is exactly how it is supposed to be.

[@pl4nt42]

?? Look at the score on imslp.org (original edition), it is E sharp! (and makes sense harmonically), I think it is just a Trombone accident

[@MewsikMaker]

It was an error. A fine recording, but still an error.

[@shonnyno]

0:35 why so fast the /32 as they were /64 ?? not good. instead of written /32 (and so Toscanini) Karajan and other conductors add a /32 pause, then 4 notes as /64. doing so, what the amelioraments to Verdi score? What Verdi wrote ( /32 ) was not enough good? then I agree that at 0:09 the chord sounds strange, i.e. I never heard this chord here, with all other conductors. Also Karajan is wrong because he allows the third trombone to play E instead of the written E# (ok at 0:22 ) Micha Davis is right!

+Andrea Dobetti Absolutely right. Those few things ruined it, in my opinion... also the second part is way too fast.

[@zandergrier1302]

+fbx78 actually it's not. I have seen one of the original scorings for this piece and it's astonishingly fast.

[@zandergrier1302]

+Andrea Dobetti It's actually supposed to be a recessive minor chord, the E is correct. it is C# minor chord.

[@shonnyno]

+Zander Grier No, look better at the score: I have to hear c#-e# (!)-g# !!! imslp.org/wiki/Nabucco_%28Verdi,_Giuseppe%29 or are all the scores (and other conductors) wrong? E# the V in the modus F# MINOR, i.e. che VII grade of the scale is diesis. And imslp.nl/imglnks/usimg/0/0e/IMSLP311738-PMLP51151-1064-Verdi-Nabucco-Ouverture-Score.pdf anyway I will write to Prof. Franco Cesarini.

[@shonnyno]

+Zander Grier Andante is Andate in Verdi.

[@MewsikMaker]

Hi all, conductor here working this very tune. The chord at :09 is indeed out of tune. It happens, doesn’t make them any worse a set of musicians. But, it was out of tune by a long way.

[@davisbone]

horrible start in the low brass.the chord in 0.09 should be a C# major not minor!!!why didn't they fix it in the recording?

[@CM-qd9dp]

Doesn't sound right
