Herbert von Karajan : A Profile * Friedel * 1/9

[ruthzitron]

He was a member of the Nazi party since it's inception.  Should have been tried as war criminal

[ShittiestChannelOnYT]

@ruthzitron On what grounds?

[ruthzitron]

@ShittiestChannelOnYT

On the gounds that he did nothing in his position to help the oppressed

[alternatehistories]

@ruthzitron Simple membership doesn't mean much. Bricklayers and blue collar folk joined the party or else they didn't get contracts. In Nazi Germany, one could be a party member but that was the extent of their involvement. It's a bit like Americans belonging to Republican or Democrat...it's just a label but that doesn't mean they are politically active. Same with Nazi party members. Should we hold all Russians accountable for Stalin's purges because they were Communist party members too?

[chokedad]

@CarlMariaWeber It's the scherzo from Mahler's 5th symphony.

[ligicatlab]

Gustav Mahler's fifth symphony

[borjon23]

Might seem like an odd question: What is the correct pronunciation of his name? Is the first "a" in "Karajan" long or short?

[JDBMW1]

@borjon23 It is a somewhat plosive unvoiced a.

@CarlMariaWeber

Mahler's Symphony No. 5, end of the third movement (scherzo)

[mariandelochs]

@CarlMariaWeber

You know, I'm really not sure about the title of that piece...perhaps someone else viewing here would know? So sorry! :(

[Matteo7419]

@mariandelochs It's the ending of Mahler 5th's Scherzo, wich Karajan recorded in 1973 :-)

[leoforlion]

@mariandelochs It's the tone poem "Till Eulenspiegel" by Richard Strauss.

[MrBeethoven333]

@mariandelochs It is the Scherzo from Mahler 5

[osric9988]

@mariandelochs

the last few bars of the Scherzo from Mahler's 5th symphony

[mariandelochs]

Wow, you actually found it!  Congratulations! Thanks for the notice! :)

[mariandelochs]

Very true. He had as his goal the spread of classical music to as many people as possible. His recordings are still selling very well today - for good reason, too. They're some of the best still that you can find.

[mariandelochs]

I'm not sure what piece it is, either, but it does sound like Mozart!

[hopeafdal]

His music is truly wonderful.

[darkprose]

His ritual of "returning to nature" for his energy, etc, reminds me of Mahler. This is a very nice biography, thank you for posting!

[mariandelochs]

You're welcome!

[LifeJuice90]

Wonderful. I always wanted to know more about the maestro. Now I can!!!

[mariandelochs]

I'm glad you like the documentary.

[mariandelochs]

You're welcome ! The rest of the vid will be uploaded in installments. Still a few more to go ....
