Charpentier - Te Deum, H 146 / Part 1 (Marc Minkowski)

[Viahandel06]

Does anyone know where to buy a copy a copy of this disc (besides Amazon), because even at Amoeba here in LA, they don't have a copy.

[TheAaronmoses]

Zugabe !!!! DaCapo !!!

[kuszczyk1]

This absolutely most master interpretation,Minkowsky is great conductor:)

[solitudinarian]

Too fast :-(

[aristophron]

All the grandeur and the sublime magnificence of the prelude is emaciated by the quick tempo. Charpentier's original conception was intended to transfuse that feeling which would be imposed if the veils of the skies were about to be lifted and His Glory to be revealed before our eyes. A slower prelude rendition would restore it. The rest though, is impeccable!

[materiali2]

Non son riuscito ad andare molto oltre. Tambureggiante, ossessionante. E quanto ai tempi... c'era un treno da prendere in corsa alla stazione ?

[micnmat]

a truly beautiful piece congratulations on your wonderland executionm not

[jvonoetinger]

Ma pièce préférée de Charpentier ! Effectivement, l'interprétation est une des meilleures qu'il m'a été donné d'entendre. Le seul point qui me dérange c'est "l'écho" qu'on entend durant les parties chantées particulièrement ... Je ne sais pas si c'est dû au lieu dans lequel l'enregistrement a été fait et si ça a été fait exprès ?! Mais c'est assez étrange pour un enregistrement ...

[blualberto1966]

Fantastica,versione molto bella...si respira

la Grandeur de la france.

[ChaosFreak1000]

i can it of a flute

[kotetsu131]

Nice! This is probably one of the best interpretations of the Charpentier Prelude to Te Deum I've heard. It's great because it has guts, the trumpets and kettledrums don't hold back. Much bettern that awkward cutesy Wynton Marsaillis version that everyone seems to love...this one is much more historically accurate I'm sure!

[arkanikorde]

Lully aussi...

[giloubreizh]

c'est une hymne qui se chante à matines, mais, circoncstance extraordinaire, à vêpres. D'où le tempo très réjoui.

[fertoni777]

Je n'avais jamais entendu ainsi, je trouve que c'est beau aussi.

[MrJoeLuCha]

[manumoidixmois]

la vitesse depend de comment le chef d'orchestre a voulu interpreter l'oeuvre, avec quel sentiment. Le tempo dans lequel l'oeuvre a été composée n'est pas forcement une normalisation, il peut etre acceleré ou ralenti, c'est ce qui fait toute la force de la musique classique.

[louisguichard]

C'est pas la vrai musique elle est beaucoup moin rapide l'originale mais je pense que c'est pour faire moin long elle dure 30min la musqiue je croit donc 30min sur Youtube c'est beaucoup !

[TheAaronmoses]

Gott !!! Zu laut und zu SCHNELL !!!

Welcher Dämon hetzet die Musikanten !???

[Memale2009]

Stimmt, finde ich auch! Lets hetz...

[felixcues]

el video en general esta muy bien pero la pronunciacion es mala, the video is great but tre pronuntiation is bad, le video est tres joli mais la pronontiation n`est pas bonne

[FREEKAFlR]

Cette interprétation me semble un peu trop rapide et haute comparée à d'autres. C'est surprenant.

[MeSpamPa]

C'est ce que j'allais dire.

[Streangul]

that's correct, it is also my impression: the tempo is a bit too fast.

[FREEKAFlR]

Definitely!

[marcstrat]

I love this piece of music,i've know it already for a long time.

I love classical music very much,and i play electric guitar.

[AntosLord]

diese musik müssen wir uns für den musik unterricht anhören^^

[Zeobit]

Genieß es!

[blatz1851]

my parochial schooling was good for something, it introduced me to the great baroque artists. this is a piece I've never heard. Fantastic! thank you for posting.

[civillaser]

I can see a house and a bridge of stone and a river of water and sky of air.Where is singers ?!

[oldbaxter]

to civillaser: Is not the majestic bldg. the Louvre? beside the Seine. I imagine that they may OR may not actually perform inside it.

[luger666666]

@oldbaxter : Unfortunately it's not the Louvre. It is... the Tribunal de Commerce (Business tribunal) of Paris. Idk why the author shows this picture but it is really that tribunal lol

[ExistenzialistKK]

I really like the speed of this version. It makes them hymn sound a bit more interesting.

[RoterGraf]

try the version directed by Avo Pärt in the Vatican a few years ago.. in my opinion the best recording EVER

[ExistenzialistKK]

Kannst du mir sagen, woher ich diese Version bekommen kann? Can you tell me where i can get this version?

[RoterGraf]

Das gab es als CD von der Deutschen Grammophon..blaues Cover mit dem Petersdom drauf. hiess "Te Deum".. waren noch die Te Deums von Mozart Verdi und Pärt drauf.

Tolle CD!

[romulaner2000]

wundervoll!

[ticrak1]

Magnifique, Si Spectaculaire!!

[Sarahtolila]

On entend le chef d'orchestre le retient son souffle au debut ! Magnifique. Et oui ce n'est pas trop rapide c'est le bon tempto.

[noirvalentin]

Enfin une version avec le bon tempo

[TR3791]

good tempo, makes it more majestic! <3

[edg19]

to fast.....

[CharlesFernando7]

Some catholics think every protestant must be anti-catholic... and about Bach who wrote for masses?

In the protestant list of saints, marked by Lutherans and Anglican calendary, there are catholics like Tereza D'Avila..

Because of that, every protestnt should be called reformed catholic... and i myself am one.

[pelikaaann]

Großartig...

[misty04]

Why would somebody with the name protestant7 post a Te Deum, in Latin, composed by a French Catholic for the Roman Catholic liturgy???? Great choice though - Dominus vobiscum

[Zeobit]

Maybe because music is a power, which overcomes the borders of religion ore nation!

[Chevers1956]

Et cum spiritu tuo. Bells, smells and theatre! We always had that in buckets. Even protestants like a bit of style every now and then. Seriously, thanks for the post.

[Betziburli]

Music is a language greater than the various diversions of creeds.. that is why good music will always be wrested from the hands of the bigots. and made public wherever listeners appreciate the 'what' and gladly ignore the 'whence'..

[lalagonegaga]

You were describing your musical taste, right? :)))

[mannueldevalencia]

buenisimo, reconfortante....

[musicaenlaniebla]

Thanks, protestant7, from Lima, Perú. I played this work as a violinist at the Choir of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú many years ago. The only thing that I observe in this version is that they follow a non strict pronuntiation of Latin. On the musical point of view, otherwise, this recording is lifelike and beautiful & I hear this record frequently. Thanks again.

[stach1991]

provocation?

[jxue007]

minor drawback: the recording's actually in c, but great work nonetheless. fiery quality of the prelue which is otherwise rarely heard in other recordins. this one i like best

[TheCrazyCello]

No it isn't... it's in D. They've just chosen a historic pitch, a=392Hz which is approximately a tone lower than modern concert pitch. Most period performances are at a=415Hz, which would sound a semitone higher than this recording, or a semitone lower than concert pitch.

[Jippieheihe]

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!

[aertnhun]

BRAVO!!!

[guicravo]

Fantastic!!! The recording is bright, vivid, exuberant, full of enthusiasm!!!!

[spexypaul]

Stunning,brilliant.superb.

[danmakine]

Sounds like a bavarian ram-ta-ta orchestra, ram-tam-tam, I feel sorry for this piece. There are SO much more beautifull recordings.

[KarlAmade]

like?

[ink28]

it's not fast, nor Charpentier: it's Minkowski

[barreltheif]

Minkowski is the conductor while Charpentier is the composer.

[indispettito]

beginner57, ti ho tolto il -1 di qualche pirla d'oltralpe

non avrei saputo commentare meglio...

cia'

[giloubreizh]

interprétation exceptionnelle.

[PEPEDEBARRO]

Maravilloso. ¿Pero por qué la imagen del "Tribunal de Commerce"? Podía haber escogido alguna vista de Versailles, por ejemplo.

[ZokonudArcher]

this is just the true speed of the piece...

the eurovision contest's one is a slower version

nice by the way

[vonand1880]

Agree!

[gobackseven]

This is my favorite rendition of this gorgeous piece... on youtube .... i love the high speed at the beginning. Thank you

[guerno1]

same here!

[godefroy1990]

superbe!

[mengenstrom]

huh? so fast ...

[indispettito]

versione incantevole davvero

la proninzia francese del latino, se non abituati, è un po' difficile da mandar giù

[beginner57]

Se è per questo, mi è capitato di cantarlo e ti assicuro che la pronuncia era peggiore...una versione filologicamente corretta, col ritmo dell'incipit puntato alla francese, e una pronuncia del latino come presumibilmente doveva essere quella francese all'epoca... sembrava quella dell'ispettore Cloiseau nella "Pantera rosa"...

[2mcuhartitude]

Now this sounds like a hymn of Thanksgiving! Great tempo, notes inegale, well-cast voices, excellent disposition of forces, elegant ornament. The pomposity of so many other versions is very evident in contrast: no wonder many people find Baroque/Rococo music dull when so often poorly performed, unlike this version. I would love to hear C's Grand Magnificat by the same group.

[gordon290189]

Di certo è ravvisabile l'incedere baroccheggiante di questo pezzo, così tanto volgarizzato dagli utilizzi televisivi...

[BlackLaethe]

Memorabile l'uso del Te Deum di Charpentier per la sigla dell'Eurovisione; reso famoso dagli eterni documentari sui castelli di Francia, sembra ormai un inno nazionale più di quanto ora lo sia la Marsigliese.

Beh, almeno il popolo ha avuto modo di conoscere le sinfonie dell'immortale musicista.

[crowisflying]

I love this refreshing interpretation - the tempo and the instruments - heared it not only once at a time!

[Jcalliope]

Senza dubbi la versione migliore....meravigliosa, grandi Musiciens du Louvre

[BlackLaethe]

Come non darti ragione? E' senz'altro la più piacevole.

[SuperAachen]

Das ist Musik die die Zeiten überdauert. Einfach schön...

[giloubreizh]

En cette nuit du 25 au 26 janvier 2009, j'écoute ce Te Deum pour la levée du décret d'excommunication.

[Virussse]

de qui ? du facho? va te faire

[poliziano69]

pautalux, inavvertitamente devo averti contrassegnato come spam. chiedo venia, non sono pratico dei meccanismi del sito. vedi se e come porre rimedio...

[samilouis]

Sublime!Merci de nous avoir fait partager se petit moment de pur bonheur!!

[lovenikesilver]

interpretazione musicale sublime

[gustavs9]

This performance is wonderful. Whatever could be told , it refreshes our idea of the The Deum of Charpentier

[pjdonagh]

I agree this is wonderful. It is fresh and full of vigour and it certainly made me sit up and take notice.

Great performances too as well as superb recording. What more could we want?

[dbmusico]

Good introducing. Powerful. The orquest is very imponent but the chorus needs to change so many things. One big problem: the conduced. It is confused. Intencions without direction. Viciousy ideas. Sorry.

[gustavs9]

I cannot really see the point of this critic

[06131974]

was für himmlische Musik! Es ist, als ob Gott das Stück selbst komponiert hätte!

[giloubreizh]

Dieu est Joie.

Sa Mère pleurait au peid de Sa Croix.

Mais Dieu est Joie.

Il est un temps pour tout.

Ce soir, je me réjouis, avec Mon Dieu, de ce qu'il a fait en ce monde.

L'homme a crréé les imperfections;

Mais je me réjouis, chaque jour, de Sa création.

Ecoute! ô Création, ton homme!

[pautalux]

Poliziano, noi Italiani chiaramente propugnamo un'altra pronuncia per la lingua latina, ma dobbiamo prendere atto che, musicologicamente parlando, questo tipo di "lectio restituta" è l'unico corretto per la musica antica francese. Accettiamola e facciamoci l'orecchio (anche se Charpentier si è formato in Italia eheh...)Riguardo a Minkowski-esecuzione a mio parere inattaccabile, stimolante nei tempi, nella timbrica e nell'articolazione delle inegalitées.

[poliziano69]

pautalux, grazie delle notizie. è sempre imprudente lanciarsi in giudizi quando non si conosce il contesto. ne prendo nota...

[poliziano69]

scusate, non sono un esperto, il tempo è inusuale ma in effetti sembra appropriato a un inno di gioia. però, lasciatemi dire, senza offesa, ma la pronuncia francese del latino è devastante... sembra un'altra lingua!

[Atrux1]

Surprenant par rapport à ce qu'on entend d'habitude! Merci d'avoir eu cette audace!

[Viahandel06]

Magnifique!

[signumxx]

Too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dunkelhaven]

Comme toujours, Minkowski le fait meilleur!

[cembalo75]

bon tempo. Quel est les notes inègales?

[belamoure]

Et voila comment il faut faire, entrainant, bien scandé avec élan et joie, on parle ici d'un Te Deum après les désastres subis par les armées francaises contre les coalisé - et soudain le royaume est sauvé par une bataille. Le Roi Louis XIV avait sacrifié sa vaiselle d'argent pour payer les troupes.

[giloubreizh]

le Te Deum a été composé en 1690 - quelle est cette bataille?

[HellOphanin]

Il s'agit de la bataille contre la ligue d'Augsbourg à la tête de laquelle on trouvait l'Angleterre et les Provinces Unies. La "victoire" est en fait une neutralisation réciproque.

Mais le royaume de France s'en est mieux sortie en récupérant le plus gros producteur de sucre (St Domingue). ^^

Sinon, le tempo du Te Deum est parfait ! J'adore.

[jcsaggitaire]

Superbe!

[giloubreizh]

le tempo est très bon! l'attaque est dynamique! - normal, c'est un chant de joie, pas une déploration! merci d'avoir respecté la prononciation - six étoiles!!!

[Tacitus87]

vous aves raison.c est probablement la meilleure interpretation de you tube
