Strauss - Unter Donner und Blitz - Karajan

[sherban1930]

Караян чудесно создает живые картины. Такая связь с природой... И с темпом попадает в точку. Не ищите политики. И не надо плоских сравнений - он уникален.

[lets743]

блестяще!почему -то Нана Золя вспоминается)

[AmadoDom]

ESTA TRONANDO!!!

[WhiteScorpionek]

This guys sems to have BIG FUN, i wanna be there!

[daimen6]

hearing this u can understand why karajan was loved by nazi germany

this is great heavy marching music.

feels like heavy tanks and artillery approaching stalingrad - oh wait

[bdrman]

@daimen6 give up the nazi stuff. So Karajan goes a little slower. Big deal. Get over it.

[Agomongo1235]

@RaolHetfild I much prefer Karajn's.

[Grima21]

@RaolHetfild

Don´t forget: Karajan was an Austrian!

[Grima21]

@RaolHetfild

Don´t forget: Karajan was Austrian!

[frankthetank112244]

@berto41 you´re right... Rieu is producing cheap trash.

[klavac]

Pretty intense! That's Karajan.

[mauriciomille]

I prefer this with carlos kleiber... Much more alive, much more passion, much more moving and much more perfectism

[jacobflaschen]

Johann Strauss was the Austrian John Philip Sousa.

[mortalfrog0815]

@RaolHetfild karajan was austrian, i don't think he would call us "dummköpfe"... ;D

[callasnuts]

Listen to Clemens Krauss and Boskowsky; its dance hall music with long gowns.

Karajan conducts aristocratically,Kleiber like a Latino Molto Furioso

[jls081188]

@RaolHetfild: haha, go learn german... X)

[HerrVonHintenTV]

@RaolHetfild the correct form would be: " Fort du verdammter österreichischer Dummkopf!! Fort sagte ich!! "

well i´m austrian... ^^

[Augenmann2]

@RaolHetfild Haste etwa was gegen Österreicher???

[ProfessorKleiber]

Hitler dismissed karajan ... thats why hehehe

[alfredocx]

KARAJAN ERES INOLVIDABLE

[andreaprodan]

Donner un Blitzen! This is won of the Worst times eye haff sinn Herr Karajan unter den linden und ohne sein martinetti baton. He must heff bin halving sacher good teim!

Spitze!

und long leaf The Ramones!!!

[Maestrojosh87]

@berto41 Okay, that came out wrong. Comment removed.

[zece1314]

@RaolHetfild That's an interesting and funny comment.

[debiaptget]

What happened at 3:16 What exploded ? Is this a tradition ? I'm not aware of those. Please enlighten me.

[LeonBeethoven]

¡¡¡ Cuidado maestro Karajan !!!

¡¡¡ jajaja !!!

[kleindammermann]

This song is one of my favorits from strauss...but this version could be a bit faster

[andreaprodan]

@kleindammermann

Super kommentar!

Korrekt... it should rattle along SEHR speedy, amd not this sloppy Austrian fashion.

[fojaak]

I don't want to comment on Von Karajan, because he was a genius too. That's a fact beyond any doubt. But, just listen to this performance and the very same by Carlos Kleiber... A VERY clear difference.

[Necroman666]

I agree Kleiber's better.

[18numer]

Noo, Karajan's version is much better. Not so fast, softly;) Just like a few minutes before storm...I mean, it's my opinion.

[saxosie]

Very nice peace, but i think that this Polka must be a bit faster. :)

[Maestrojosh87]

@saxosie A bit? No, a LOT faster.

[foerster]

I will propose to Vienna Philarmonic a execution using militar bombs, so there will be energy. again: listen the poetry, not the "bombs". And I'm sure Carlos Kleiber were agree, because tempo and more or not accents are not the points of a EXECUTION. May be now all the people wants a cocaine version of all the expressions in the world.

[foerster]

Berto, yes, may be the message is too cryptic for you. I love Kleiber and his style. But when I listen something from a great maestro, if he is a great maestro, I can listen music, style and a good idea. So forget "tempo", and listen. The harmony, the experience, the melody and poetic feeling of this interpretation.

[foerster]

ok do it like a gran premium of F1!

listen the music, not the tempo.

[starcevicg]

Ovaj izlapeli Karajan kao da diriguje neku misu,a ne drazesnu kompoziciju Gromovi i munje,uzasno me nervira !

[Luci0Rosas]

what a gentleman...but you're a dumbass & you'll be a dumbass...dumbass :)

sincerly:

Luci0

[Luci0Rosas]

really??? lol you make me laugh "tempo drags" "no energy" & "many others" you aren´t musician, right?? ohhh i know i know...you have read some wikiarticles of music and now you believe you are the reincarnation of Kleiber??? you dumbass

[GhuToB]

This UNTER DONNER UND BLITZ is very slowly

Karajan don't know conduce it like Kleiber!

[frankonero4]

Sounds like "Unter Donner und Blitz" - but only slower! :)

[strauss12345]

Ahh, I have to agree. Kleiber's was better. Karajan wasn't bad though.

[DocRivera]

I've never played this piece, but I would guess that the tempo would read as "Lebhaft" (Lively) rather than "Langsam" (Slowly). This interpretation is not as lively as I would expect from a Strauss waltz, polka, or march.

[spitzbuben1978]

the best storm ever !!!

[Invisus944]

the end made me cry from laughter

[FregOff]

:30 - :37

It Looks Like He's Having a Hissy Fit

:D

Though, I Do LOVE Karajan

[Kito8720]

And I think Karajan gives the typical Austrian interpretation in general; this does not sound prussian at all.

[Mortenk321]

When was this recorded? It must be from a New Year Concert.

[pgamen]

It belongs to 1987 new year´s concert

[alabama1895]

0 :35 to 40 . Gives me a smile watching karajan.

[HawarantenLoserClara]

haha! thank you ^^

[54spiritedwill54]

I love it! The best is the fantastic end!

[jacquesurlus]

Comme c'est lourd et sans esprit, écoutez et voyez KLEIBER.

[atralfalgar]

au contraire, c'est version est pleine d'esprit car Karajan la réfléchit comme une oeuvre au rythme pesant et lourd et non reposant (comme Kleiber) car on parle d'éclairs et de tonnère ! Il ne suffit pas de mettre un tempo rapide ! D'ailleurs Karajan s'amuse autant que Kleiber !

[shaylen911]

pas d'accord. premierement j'écoutais Kleiber, et puis Karajan. Karajan est trop...trop lent pour moi. il est très vieux XD et il n'avait pas autant d'energie que Kleiber. mais tous les deux sont morts alors on ne doit pas parler d'eux XD

[atralfalgar]

la version de Kleiber est très populiste ! Celle de Karajan est plus esthétique. J'apprécie beaucoup les deux mais il faut savoir choisir entre la vitesse exacerbée qui ne sert qu'à s'attirer facilement les foules ou entre une recherche plus ponctuée des couleurs orchestrales. Après, chacun ses goûts ...

[iwanabana]

it's just a tiny bit too slow...

[notreetarded]

nah dude the tempo is perfect

[HawarantenLoserClara]

never heard Carlos Kleiber? He is unbelievable! HIS tempo is perfect!

[bonafont]

i loooove this!! i played it on 2006! it was great. long live karajan

[Luci0Rosas]

great!!!!

[bulSAdeCV]

=) his face at the end is very funny....scary?!?! =D

[edgluhrs]

Definitely check out Kleiber's version of this piece and compare styles. Interesting differences in interpretation.

[kochunhei2]

they both had different but fantastic styles

[lucpebo]

karajan in this day,he was so exciting!hahaa

[a11ende]

I love it! The best is the fantastic end! Pure, silly, fun!
