Richard Strauss: Eine Alpensinfonie/ Sonnenuntergang - Karajan

[charnockvideo]

For me the only conductor living or dead who actually looked like another instrument of the orchestra.

I hope that you'll upload soon the whole symphony.

@Iommi84 - hahaha. I can't do it!

[quelbop]

wow! Karajan at his best. The 2.41 minutes unfold as a single breath.

[lucpebo2]

@quelbop - This part is very emotional. Every time i listen, makes me cry!

I ask anyone who holds the opinion that Karajan was increasingly autocratic and cold in his relation with the orchestra in the 80s to come here and repeat the claim. I have never seen him so involved and unpretentious in any other video.

this should be dated 20.11.1983.

and I completely agree with az111za. Would be wonderful. I've the recording but would love others to watch it also. This single concert is an immensely touching experience one can ever have.

@cagin - That's true. After i'll change these informations. Thank you.

[az111za]

may you upload the whole symphony, if you please?

[lucpebo2]

@az111za - I can't do it! Thank you.
