[Arthaus 101065] GIULINI, Carlo Maria: In Rehearsal

[123must]

Thanks!

[Strefanasha]

Oh yes, the guilini version of Bruckner 9th is my main version (the other is far too fast and skates over the notes)

but can anyone offer translations? I have no german to speak of except for a few words from my musical career as a bass player and my reading of european hiustory

[Nai61a]

@Strefanasha My German is not wonderful, but he's essentially asking them for a clear distinction between notes with accents and notes with dots, (he demonstrates this). He asks for long notes when there are accents whether played at the heel of the bow or with the whole bow. (Again, he demonstrates this.) He is, as ever, very polite and gentle. Hope this helps.

[cobaltsls]

I am an avid Bernstein fan , but NO ONE captures this work like Giulini!!

Nor even Karajan , nor Furtwangler....just perfect

[olmaleo]

La registrazione con i Wiener (soprattutto) e anche quella di Chicago sono nettamente più riuscite, rifinite e compiute, ma qui si raggiunge un lato "primordiale" e "selvaggio" di Bruckner che mi ricorda un po' Knappertsbusch.

[japanesesweet]

Terrific! Giulini's Chicago SO recording ot Bruckner's 9th was my first ever encounter with his music. He seems to identify very strongly with this piece.

[wehwalte]

Never heard Giulini's ninth! :( But...have you heard Bernstein and Celibidache? And, if you0ve heard them already, do you still suggest me Giulini? :D

[foerster]

yes.

[fabrizzzio48]

Why not. More composed. Both Berstein and Celibidache, so out of whack many times.

But don't miss Lovro von Matacic's version. Perhaps the most in mastery.

[tituscaesar]

i met him when i was 14yo. had short chat wth him:) gr8 man!

[ramrambatti]

It is huge regret that I did not see Guilini. He has been always my favorite conductor. I will have to buy the DVD. Thank you for uploading!!!

[darkprose]

Really savage. I think Guilini really preserves the polyphony here, whereas Karajan seems to mute it.

[darkprose]

@darkprose Hmm, or maybe it's homophony -- anyway, the point being, returning to this again, you can hear more distinction of the strings during the louder passages in a way that doesn't seem as obvious in Karajan.

[jlcel0818ya]

The Great Giulini spoke German!! Ja baby!!

[MyMusic0201]

@jlcel0818ya Well yeah, he grew up in a town that was first Austrian (Bozen) and later Italian (Bolzano). He is fluent in both languages.

[jlcel0818ya]

@MyMusic0201

Thanks! I did not know that.

[WAMEDJO]

It' s often said that his 9th with Vienna 1988(9?) is the best that exists. I wonder how it is...Be that as it may, I recommend the Mravinsky 1980 to you which I prefer to this one

[rabengeraun]

The Vienna no.9 is a beautiful performance

[billyguns2]

Giulini/Vienna is for me the greatest performance I ever hope to hear. Giulini/Chicago is also wonderful, as is Furtwangler's wartime recording; Van Beinum/Concertgebouw is also quite wonderful in its more lyrical way. I think Walter was handicapped by his orchestra in his version.

[DERFNAM72]

Più grande ancora fu e resta attraverso la sua musica divina Anton Bruckner stesso!

Comunque preferisco l'interpretazione di Jochum.

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

It's amazingly moving!Me and my friend grew up in music with his recordings and Karajan's recordings.Art is art with the right people

[foerster]

Sì, la n.9 di Bruckner diretta da Giulini è qualcosa di grande, ma veramente Giulini, che grande, un vero SIGNORE, così profondo, sincero e veramente grande. Ultimo di una grande generazione...

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

Certamente!Sia me che molti dei miei amici musicisti in Venezuela siamo cresciuti con le sue registrazioni ed è una grande fortuna!

[YTM021807]

Beautiful staccato. Bruckner played beautifully. Thanks!

[egapnala65]

Thanks for this. The Giulini 9th is my favorite interpretation of the work. Good to see him in action.
