Radetzky March - New Year's Concert 2011 - Vienna Philharmonic

@Taylork64

@johnfoconnor

Ok, I exagerated quite a bit. The video has desaturated colors (maybe because of its poor quality) and everything is quite old-fashioned (I'm not talking about the music that I really like), that it could have been shot decades ago (I chose 1971 randomly).

It's just that it surprised me when I read it was shot in 2011. Nothing else. ;)

[johnfoconnor]

@SpecimN

The music is great, the orchestra is top class; the Vienna Philharmonic. They do it every new year. But somehow it does look a little old. And when you see the couple at about 1.12 you would wonder if communism still reigned in eastern Europe and you would wonder if the orchestra was free.

Does anyone know who they are? Are they important people? I wonder, only because they were the only people to be shown in any detail, in the whole 7 minutes.

[SpecimN]

New Year's concert 2011?!? Seems like this was shot in 1971...

[Taylork64]

@SpecimN Not really.... o.o

[johnfoconnor]

@SpecimN

What makes you think it was shot in 1971? Just wondering, I would think it might be later?

[fjgjkfdsgfg]

0:44 open his arms like a boss LOL

[xozyje]

un beau final ... merci pour ce bon moment

[COCOMAROBOY]

amo vienna..

[SatchmoSings]

The conductor here, Franz Welser-Möst, was adopted by some minor royal figure in Lichtenstein; soon Welser-Möst was FUCKING HIS WIFE, that is, his adoptive mom!

And, to top it all off, HE WOUND UP MARRYING HER!!

[611unterscharfuhrer]

Just enjoy the wonderfull music !!!!!!!

[Nikkodimus1]

Just,thank you!

[elisdewaard1]

I love this march<33 A Wonderful piece of music:)

[kmfilice]

Does anyone know who the two Middle Eastern people are? I know I saw them somewhere before and it is driving me nuts!

(At 2:39)

[SatchmoSings]

Where are the microphones and how come each instrument isn't mic'ced?

[ambulanza]

@SatchmoSings they arent. is a theater. it's all in the acustic of the place

[galaxi123456789]

complimenti, perfetto nell'imperfezione umana!



[rondahl18]

chinese one is better

[57moke]

Bravoooooo!



[EliasCalabretta1]

Seriously, as much as Karajan was a supporter of Nazism, or fascism, he was a great musician in his own right.

[robjacksontop]

Karajan, yeh, just what we need!! He joined the Nazis not just once but twice. What a hocus pocus conductor.

[suann7707]

Ich mag das Klatschen nicht.

[robjacksontop]

@suann7707 I agree, but it's a Vienna tradition, super-stupid and super-fascist. I always have a feeling that audience is applauding for itself. KITSCH!

[616Dave616]

Navidad sin el "Neujahrskonzert" = calamidad.

[viriatoist]

Carlos Kleiber is the Vienna Philharmonic's irreplaceable maestro. His huge fortune, inherited from his American mother, the B.F. Goodrich heiress, gave him and his father the freedom to only do work that truly interested them

.

[SatchmoSings]

I like the Arabs in this; they don't know shit about classical music and this is probably the first time they've had to sit through a performance; they don't seem to be enjoying it.

They also have shitty complexions; they must eat the most decadent shit imaginable.

At the end, the European guy is explaining to the Arab dude the significance of the conductor's motions; what an idiot. All that money and he can't learn shit about a fraction of some European culture.

[tudosiealex]

@SatchmoSings You seem to be awfully narrow-minded, don't you think?

[SatchmoSings]

@tudosiealex It's not me that is narrow-minded; it's the Arab prince and his wife that seem to be narrow-minded about a facet of high-brow Western Culture.

Indeed, 440,000,000 Arabs and no world-class symphony orchestra yet Israel, with 7 million people DOES have a world-class symphony orchestra but you would, of course, obviously call such an observation of mine narrow-minded.

[tudosiealex]

@SatchmoSings Of course not, the reason I'm calling you narrow-minded is your continued belief that somehow, simply because a person is Arab, they cannot enjoy Classical Music.

[SatchmoSings]

@tudosiealex 440,000,000 Arabs in 22 countries are obviously the people who are narrow-minded; places like non-Muslim Asia, of course, DO have a tradition of appreciation and admiration and even excellent PERFORMANCE of this Western idiom.

Here is something from little TAIWAN of all places:

watch?v=WCFcJq5Rrs8

Get back to me when you can show me something similar involving Arabs.

[MrJoseph1966]

@SatchmoSings So you did not hear before about Omar Khairat the Egyptian pianist or Opera Aida.....That's because you lack alot of information....people like you who are affected by the media are the really narrow minded........We had a tradition and our own music....but ignorant people were always against us

[SatchmoSings]

@tudosiealex You are basically correct; it's not that I'm the narrow-minded one that has the belief that Arabs cannot enjoy classical music, it is you who is narrow-minded because of your rejection of the idea that Arabs ACTIVELY REJECT Western, Classical music and they reject it out of bigotry.

[mappingtheshit]

@SatchmoSings Wrong place to annouce your jewness, especially when the music is purely germanic

[SatchmoSings]

@mappingtheshit There is never a "wrong place" to announce my Jewness and prior to 1938 and "Anschluss" I'm sure there were quite a few Jews in the Vienna Philharmonic just as there had been many Jews in the Berlin Philharmonic, too.

Indeed, using your own criteria, this is not only a wrong place to announce your own Germanness but also the Jew-hatred that you associate with it by necessity.

[gucluatinc]

@SatchmoSings Arabs may not have one but Turks, I assume you think they are close minded too, have a world class symphony orchestra.

[SatchmoSings]

@gucluatinc I happen to be very pro-Turkish, genius and I sorely resent Erdogan's pro-Islamist stance for his own Republic becuase this is having dire consequences for Turkey; Turkey is now diplomatically isolated, even as a member of NATO.

Syria might have 20 SCUD missile launchers aimed at Turkey and Syria is being backed by Iran and even Russia and the French have made clear that NATO will not come to Turkey's aid if Turkey is attacked; this is shameful.

[SatchmoSings]

The conductor, Franz Welser-Möst, was adopted by Baron Andreas von Bennigsen of Liechtenstein and Wesler-Möst not only started in fucking the Baron's wife, HE WOUND UP MARRYING HER!!!

[arrivistis]

Ramonoses there is no animal it's just the microphone.

[KnewingFun]

1:13 Adolf hitler from Iran

Iradolf hitler

[morcos61]

who the f..k is fat pigs?Radetzky,he was killer! Kiss from HUNGARY!!/MAGYAR!!!/

[letyfan]

how can anyone dislike this?! God! this is simply and purely magical!!!!

[a1b2c3d4e5f699]

@letyfan Couldn't agree more. This is REAL music!

[letyfan]

@a1b2c3d4e5f699 it truly is, isn't it??? BTW, I'm totally in love with classical music, which is ur fave piece of music? mine's "Für Elise" by L. v. Beethoven

[johnfoconnor]

@letyfan

too many to name, but immediately I can think of Bizet's Torreador song, Bethoven's "Ode to Joy", Verdi's "Chorus of Hebrew Slaves". Just noticed that your choice is beautiful soothing piano, whereas my choice may be more on the choral side. But I love all classical music and look forward to many more suggestions here.

[loulanloulan]

thanks for uploading...hope i could go there next year =)

[zebstamp]

Super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vajtakati]

Csodálatos,mint minden ami STRAUSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[odusseas007]

e shkelqyeshme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!



[missedlogic]

I wish I could be there someday ... God... I promise I will never miss it

[fenderguitargirl]

I just love this!!!!

[AnBleach]

@KingsHeadOfficial try looking at 2:39 also hehehe

[plutao]

I see every year the concert, and is a sensation unique is like listening Queen and The 3 Tenors...a divine work

[allanlangshaw]

Is that Sir Simon Rattle conducting

[nibstheman]

@allanlangshaw That is not Simon Rattle conducting, that is Franz Welser-Möst

[VIRIATO1942]

Beautifull. Brings to the fore dreams of Imperial Autria-Hungary and movies of "SISSI" and the Royal Viennese Court....one of the marches I love the most. Classy, gracefull not overly militaristic....

[MrDallasTan]

STUPENDO !!!!

[Tzippy323]

A bit too slow for my taste. I like the blistering, crisp speed of Kleiber.

[jorgesetvaz]

Nada personal pero es mi marcha favorita y me enamore de ella el primer día que la escuche!

[3topgear]

just amazing

[segiuskate]

O muzica si interpretare de cea mai buna calitate ! Bravo !

[shadowmax889]

excelente

[jvyb007]

Just another proof, that you cannot replace Karajan by anybody else...

[mbabist01]

I missed the broadcast for this year, thank you for posting!

[cameliamg]

gorgeus!!!!

[musicProAyodance]

sounds like the heaven is in my ear

[KingsHeadOfficial]

1:13 that man is enjoying it

[AAKh321]

@KingsHeadOfficial By the way, this is the prince of Qatar and his wife!!

[SatchmoSings]

@AAKh321 Which wife out of how many?

[SatchmoSings]

@KingsHeadOfficial It's probably the very first time he had to sit through it; Arabs generally reject or at least refuse to consider any non-Arab and/or Muslim culture.

[flekone93]

I would love to know how to hear classical music! it's just amazing.

[joelchummel]

I love this piece - audience participation required!!!

[VoxHuJan]

Franz Welser-Möst is great! He "plays" the orchestra like an Organist plays his organ.

[Flight3164]

I love the fact that he mostly conducts the crowd and not the orchestra, except in the Trio, you need a tempo there :D

[danel2012b]

i have just returned from vienna. this is AMAZING

[josepmariaemilio]

marevellós.

[Adler133792]

Keiner machte es besser wie Karajan!

[lomax343]

I always think that most people who patronise/view this concert do so for the sake of just two tunes (if you can't guess what the other one is, never mind).

But hey - WHAT tunes......

[joelchummel]

@lomax343 Is it Strauss???

[RTalaricoMr]

@joelchummel Yes is J. Strauss Father

[violinjs123]

one idiot man press the wrong bottom

[violinjs123]

one idiot man press the wrong bottom

[violinjs123]

one idiot man press the wrong bottom

[611unterscharfuhrer]

wonderfull.

[iXzerty]

This is like Sensation Black for very old people

[Aeythvaenn]

@iXzerty Trust me, there are enough young people who like this kind of music as well...I see a lot of middle aged people too in the audience

[nsgallup]

1 dislike???

what an idiot

[volltreffer82]

what is this language? serbian? or polish?

[shadiksk]

@volltreffer82 czech

[lamprinila]

all those years it's just so delightful to hear the same march in which all the audience participate. Viva Strauss!!!

[Galoot5]

Watched this live :)

[benii123123]

beautiful

[psun1234]

It is nice classic music

[todayonmtt]

Just fair... I still miss the old days of Karajan...

[javaEEboy]

perfection.....this is real music.....hope one day i'll be able to get tickets for the concert

[ciberneticopunk]

probably the most touching thing on earth: classical music

[heinerle456]

Without any doubt, a marvelous interpretation and performance too. Please note: 2012 will be the second appearance for Mariss Jansons as conductor of the Vienna New Year's Concert.

[andythefirstone]

I've wached this concert on tv and i have to say it was very boring comparing to the previous years. Radetzky March was so much better last year and also Blue Danube was much better last year.

[nbtk7m3]

Seeing this done live is on my "bucket list".

[bluegreenplanet89]

@nbtk7m3 yeah mine too...if there's a reason why i'm gonna work hard and earn a lot of money it's to meet the dress code for this concert (and getting my ass there too since i'm don't live anywhere near austria). The audience here look so expensive man, it's depressing. but the music is heaven.

[letnicanka]

Lovely... I really enjoy this... Thanks for post... All the best

[AndyGC100]

Excelente presentacion. El director fuera de serie

[padredemishijos12]

I do believe the Maestro Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela has a much different and IMHO better interpretation of this march. It sounds too much like a waltz and less of a march. on youtube: (dudamel radetzky)

[heinerle456]

@padredemishijos12

Concerning the Trio, you’re right. It’s more a waltz then a march. Strauss used an older folk melody in three-quarter time, called age dance from Vienna. Strauss installed it in march time, but changed little the melodic.

[padredemishijos12]

@heinerle456 Mil gracias por la explicacion. Thank you for the explanation. I hope that you had the opportunity to view the St. Silvesters eve. (New Years Eve Concert) in Berlin with Maestro Dudamel directing it. It was very exciting with a French/Spanish theme.

[copenhagen1966]

always an emotional moment

being in north america, they have no tradition like this

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

@copenhagen1966 O come on. What about the Rose Parade?

[55Vitalii]

Obrigado!

[MellyMLY]

Outstanding!



[wicek777]
