MAESTRO!



[jonjon1957jonjon]

I have always dismissed Bohm for his turgid slow tempi, but this has me thinking again. I wonder what they put in his tea this night?

[deepakgola1]

[lunol07]

1:18 Val Kilmer!!!

@ ledormant

qu'en dites-vous? je dis: Cherchez la femme!

[ledormant]

No woman in the orchestra !!

[beastinblack]

@ledormant You need maximum brutality!!

[ledormant]

@beastinblack But some women can be very brutal. Anyway brutality has nothing to do with art and civilization. There’s no brutality in this symphony.This orchestra is only a group of frustrated machos.

[heinerle456]

@ledormant

During May 1809, when the attacking forces of Napoleon bombarded Vienna, Beethoven was very worried that the noise would destroy what remained of his hearing.

[ledormant]

@heinerle456 During that sad period, Ludwig phoned his friend Goya to discuss the situation.

[heinerle456]

@ledormant

During that sad period, Ludwig van had covered his ears with pillows.

[heinerle456]

@ledormant

Barry Cooper has extensively studied Beethoven's sketchbooks. Barry is best known for his books on Beethoven, as well as a completion and realization of Beethoven's fragmentary Symphony No. 10.

[ledormant]

@heinerle456 Barry had a hard time deciphering B’s fragmentary 10th because at the time B was as blind as a mole and he had written the first fragments in Braille.

[ledormant]

No woman in the orchestra !! 

[ledormant]

No woman in the orchestra !!

[9P9T6]

wow, there is a veritable roar from the crowd at the end.

[David50s]

How cool is it the way Bohm just listens and tilts his head during the segue leading from the third movement to the opening of thefourth movement? He does nothing with his arms. His mere presence is enough.

[atrebil71]

Grande interprete

[pmrossetti1]

bravo Bohm.

[AlxM88]

as it should be.

[ThePurpleHarpoon]

I wish I was Beethoven.

[iamthe3rd]

宇野功芳の言う、この夜の「田園」は最高だが、「運命」はいまい­ち。という発言が

いかにいい加減かという事が分かるな。

[michaels7]

Astounding performance.  Perfect in every beautiful gesture.

[joebstarsurfer]

Ich habe gerade auf Youtube eine modernere Einspielung dieser Sinfonie mit den Wiener Philharmonikern unter Sir Simon Rattle aus dem Jahr 2001 gesehen und schon mit Superlativen um mich geworfen. Aber nach reiflicher Überlegung und wiederholter Anhörung muß ich sagen: dies ist das beste Finale der Fünften, das ich je gehört habe!

[nukadousou]

これは、凄い！

[kablue79]

Forse la migliuore esecuzione di sempre. E qualcuna ne ho ascoltata. Il finale e' una sentenza di infinito.

[SLAIEH]

MAGNIFIQUE !!!!!!!!

[rapter9800]

Lol different bowings at 5:18...

This is a spectacular performance

[Hotwok191]

This is the best interpretation of Beethoven's 5th Symphony final movement on YouTube, in my opinion. Wonderful!.

[JLwaldhorn]

A perfect and powerful High F of the 1st trombone on 2:31

[CanadaPisces]

A musical gem! What a wonderful conductor at his age!

[Tyrfingr]

If Böhm doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no söul.

[pinintra]

MERAVIGLIOSO-Wiener Philharmoniker e Bohm sono gli dei della musica!!!

[grizzlyganymede]

Very very good - IMO equal to my Kleiber/Concertgebouw classic of the 1950s and THAT for many years was the standard against which all others were measured - I hope your posting receives many more hits

[999parzival]

At that time we where a few who really knew the incredible chance to have him still in this world. Official critics did not like karl bohm, he was out of fashion. Some knew, yes, that he was the last of all a world of music. He was like an old wine, with no more body but allways more taste. He was simply great. And today we can discover him again, that dear herr professor

[southwestguy223]

Ive always perfered Bernstein for Mahler, Karajan for everything else, and Karl Böhm for Beethoven.

this guy knows his stuff!

[atrebil71]

Secndo me, è stato un ottimo direttore d'orchestra. peccato che qualcuno l'abba sottovalutato.

[pinguinobc]

He was certainly one of the greatest interpreters of Beethoven.

[billinrio]

Magnificent conducting of the work, played by a stupendous orchestra. Incredible that this was in 1977, and note that the VPO still had not a single woman musician. This was not by chance, but by policy.

[doyenremy]

Karl Böhm was a magnificent conductor.

A masterwork of simplicity, efficiency and musicality.

To my opinion, such a perfection will be hard to find again...

[leitfie3579]

Absolutely agree about the quality of the conductor and the performance ... but any good conductor who chooses to do so can conduct without the score of a well-known work. When asked why he did not do so, Klemperer replied, 'Because I can read music!'.

[CutlerBeckett90]

take a look at this magnificent man... 85 years and he conducts Beethoven without score. And his way of concucting... damn i love him.

[SuperQUL]

Ahhh Karl... Ever, even as an old man, an inspiration. No score required, knew every note by hugeness of heart. Felt every nuance, every subtelty. Able to translate through the orchestra, that passion and fire into incredible performance.

[Perseus12345678]

@SuperQUL I wished that I was alive then so that I could even dream of going to one of his live concerts.

[changjiang001]

Maestro!!!!!!!!!!!
