MOZART Requiem - LACRIMOSA - Herbert von Karajan

[forevervioliniist]

This isn't lacrimosa, i think this is confuntatis :/

[Christiandavakis]

Beautiful.  This is what life is about.

[Svea69]

Everytime when I am sad about mankind's cruelty, I find comfort in a piece like this. To listen to this epic beauty ensures me that there is good in people, how could such music exist otherwise?

[SANTILOBE]

No es lacrimosa, es Confutatis. pero aun asi enorme!!

[camachoMT]

@SANTILOBE lacrimosa viene sobre el minuto 2:30 pero bueno, en algo estamos de acuerdo Es Enorme :)

[TJFNYC212]

I love Karajan but I must say I prefer the Peter Schreier interpretation

[soultoJesus]

6. Lacrimosa Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus, pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen. That day of tears and mourning, when from the ashes shall arise, all humanity to be judged. Spare us by your mercy, Lord, gentle Lord Jesus, grant them eternal rest. Amen.

[soultoJesus]

5. Confutatis Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum benedictus. Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis, gere curam mei finis. When the accused are confounded, and doomed to flames of woe, call me among the blessed. I kneel with submissive heart, my contrition is like ashes, help me in my final condition.

@1sumiresan2 ironie, nicht ernst gemeint. naja schon

[v33sel]

wish i knew ho to get a bunch of people to sing for me like that

[VladislavGomulka]

No words!

[ventomeleva]

The best of the best !!!!

[HERMIONExCANTxDRAW]

@deja2057 Oh, so being Nazi is ok, as long as you redeem yourself. Being gay on the other hand, now that is unforgiveable.

The f**ck man?

[mihai198000]

@HERMIONExCANTxDRAW  Well beeing gay is not a natural or a normal thing. But you can redeem yourself from that also.

[Wompi22]

@mihai198000 It is, 'cause it's no decision. If you are, you are born with it. And why does it matter for you, if an artist is gay or not - does it change his genius or his work? Idiot.

[aasb2ytu]

Karjan is the best !

[JulianMCalderon]

the first part is Confutaits.

[MrKaiserWilhelm]

bravo maestro !



[MrAntpha]

Dona eis Requiem. Give them everlasting peace.

[samsamba08]

It doesn't matter how overused in stupid commercials it is, it still touches depths in you that you didn't know existed.

[luczegoth]

Sublime ! I am vainly searching for the DVD of this on line. It seems not available any more, now.

[deja2057]

when i found out tchachovsky was a f-- i mean gay i had to rethink my attitude. von karajan was most certainly a nazi at one time but he certainly redeemed himself to say the least.

[deja2057]

most scholars are only sure that the music from lacrisoma to homo reus were authorized by mozart himself and the rest was reconstructed by a few others. nevertheless it comes across as mozart. probably mozarts first drafts were reverently resurrected by devoted composers.

the great ideas never die, they are always brought back to life. mozart more than any other famous composer has inspired more people to wonder who or what is behind the scenes.

[deja2057]

i may not believe in the catholic religion but i believe in mozart's requiem

[TruthSeekingElf]

Makes me laugh and cry at the same time... Mozart was the music of God himself...

[arlindodavila]

A blessing... A real Masterpiece. Thanks for share. God bless you!

[amine7055]

its the great song i listen in my life

the cassic wawwwwwwwwwww



[malmeida1986]

LACRIMOSA starts only at 2:20

[jennie0024]

@malmeida1986 Yes, but I love the first two minutes and twenty as well! LOL

[contrapunct]

for me karajan is the most important maestro ever and i also think @stefanbakedam is completely right. so how could this is possible?

weird.

[Strophal]

Okay, Callas was a bad singer, Karajan didn't know how to conduct, Mozart has too many notes and Tschaikovsky is kitsch: thanks God today we have so many know-it-better geniuses. And they're ALL on youtube, ready to share their knowlegde with us! What a lucky era we live in.

[leopardness93]

@Strophal you're so right

[1davidcampbell]

@Strophal brilliant, so true :)

[TruthSeekingElf]

@Strophal Stating a piece like this has too many is like stating a tree has too many leaves. Totally ridiculous, clean out your ears.

[Strophal]

@TruthSeekingElf You probably missed the irony or are not familiar with the Mozart quote.

[nicco47]

@Strophal AAAAAHHHHAAA Yes makes me laugh too.

[1sumiresan2]

@Strophal Was für ein ausgesprochener Blödsinn, Das kann nur jemand schreiben der Karajan nicht gekannt hat!!!

[Wompi22]

@1sumiresan2 Das nennt man Ironie, mein Freund. Schwache Leistung.

[adrueda]

@Strophal On the other hand, here we're just lucky to be able to watch and listen to such beautiful performances that we wouldn't find anywhere else. Enjoy the beauty of this video and its music, don't let other people destroy such a big work of art. We all like different things, and we all find beauty in different pieces of art. This is a big piece of art, whoever doesn't like it shouldn't be wasting their time criticizing should go and watch something else instead.

[LesBurnham]

@Strophal Sarcasm? ;-)

[navkantt]

@Strophal Hahahaha!! THAT was funny!

[renataberczy]

@Strophal WELL SAID!!!

[ramses30277]

Incredible masterpiece!

[rgrivas1]

AMAZING!!!!!

[VaheRakelyan]

then "Lacrimosa"

[VaheRakelyan]

it's a "Confuciatis"

[sartre1957bis1]

stefanbekedam...you said that Karajan performance "lacks refinement" ????, YOU ARE DEAF !!!

[maiamamardashvili]

thanks for " lacrimosa "!! its wonderful!!!

[SherryVapors]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[davyd2385]

great job

[stefanbekedam]

Honestly, I don't understand why all of you like the performance its dated and lacks refinement. You should not preform mozart like it's from the Romantic! choir is far too big and isn't that good. A pity it's a beautiful piece of music.

[Valdezb6p]

@stefanbekedam I presume you are educated musician?

[majortom51970]

@stefanbekedam I am all for "historically informed" performances, I buy them and listen to them, but there's more to life than that!!! Karajan's performances, in a way, explore the full potential of the works, which can clearly not be realized in the performences you are referring to. There's no need to "choose"! We can listen to both. And saying that a Karajan performance "lacks refinement" is unfortunate, to put it politely.

[CaptainMorganThe3rd]

@stefanbekedam Obvious troll is obvious.

[7veilsphaedra]

So beautiful.
