Tchaikovsky Symphony 6 - Movement 3 - Karajan

[SuperVikkor]

E' la marcia forzata della disperazione assoluta. Sconvolgente.

[WeTheStrange]

Sensational!

[viewerdgh]

Karajan ran a tight group of musicians. Very good rendition.

[LumineVonReuental]

Now this what I call music! (I love this Movement since I listened to it in Legend of the Galactic Heroes)

[birtuzzz]

When I saw this live a few weeks ago I almost thought it disrespectful to the Orchestra not to stand up and aplaud as much as I could.

[TheTherese3]

Come on :where are the 6 billion hits????

[TheTherese3]

So riviting how the man knew his audience.Very Modern.

[CarmonarioDennis]

Genius, genius, genius...

[cedricyu803]

just my own perception: the brass session is too dominant, usual in Karajan's BPO... I prefer Furtwangler's sound, especially his conducting of the first movement of this symphony

But still the spirit of the music is explicitly shown from Karajan.

[1812Beethovens9th]

@cedricyu803 as a Horn player, the brass is not full enough in this recording. Things like the 2-eighth-triplet from everyone but the real low instruments against the quarter-eighth-triplets from the latter at 5:16... The ffff section (7:32) is not blended well enough to me. (the triplet figure from the trumpets should be a little more dominant in my opinion other wise all you hear is the dotted quarter eighth figure.) also at 5:08 the low brass needs to be a LOT louder... otherwise ur right :)

i love the piccolo high 'g' at 7:48 ... but for some reason you just cant hear it in this recording...

[GunnarMcGriff]

5:10 Indiana Jones!

[777wallaby777]

@GunnarMcGriff , i totaly agree, j'ai pensé a ça dès que je l'ai écouté^^

[BassicStorm]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest in peace, masterful composer, tortured soul, Piotr Tchaikovsky; a grateful humanity honors you eternally for the gift of your beautiful and timeless musical creations.

[musicolegal]

Hey Daniel Wakefield by any chance are you a french horn player who went to Juilliard in the early 70s?

[goblue10nis]

this go hard

[PintheDog]

The funny thing about this is that so many people thought this was the last movement, not knowing there was a fourth, slower movement.

[StopTheMoti0n]

@PintheDog I just saw this live, and there was roaring applause after this movement, until the director started the 4th really quick, hahaha

[PintheDog]

@StopTheMoti0n You see? Exactly!

[Klassiskmus]

@PintheDog Actually that's the tragic thing about it ... That this is not the ending. Tchaikovsky was joking, right, but it was a tremendously tragicomic joke.

[Nijmegen1955]

The BEST performance as far as I am concerned... !

Thrilling...
