R Strauss - Death and Transfiguration - Part 2

[Xenocide31337]

This is what I resist doing in my mind all the time... Hooray for the Id!

[TourneledosRossini]

Tu es super Wzauscher, tu vis pleinement la musique; tu es un homme orchestre; tu pourrais être un beau musicien, et tu as choisis d'exprimer la musique et la folie d'une autre façon.

Aucune futilité, tu as bien compris le message de cette oeuvre de Strauss.

Bravo !

[lunchtastic]

Omg, I love this piece so much, you do such a good job describing it in action form!

[Tendoux]

Wat more to say then wow ?

Yur fantastic on all yur video !! Congrats to yu guy !! Yu made me cry on this one, and even smile too !! This one was full of emotions..Wow yu are amazing !!!!

[georgesclaudius]

vous savez démontrer le côté futile de l'amateur de musique classique qui se joue son cinéma. Et malgré tout c'est émouvant.

[Haeronthegreat]

At first, this video was funny, but then I heard the music, and it is just incredible. I had tears in my eyes.

[markdshepherd]

Yep, this one was loads of fun. Not to mention the fact that it takes a bit of an edge off of such a powerfully emotional piece...

[markdshepherd]

Sheeeesh. Boy do I feel better; I thought it was just me! I was reading a great book when I first heard this on public radio in NYC back in the '80s, without knowing what it was. By the time the closing chords were fading away, I was so moved I hadn't noticed that I'd dropped the book and was staring at the radio STUNNED and emotionally depleted...

[dovad16]

Amazing. You actually became the mouth and movement which orchestra music so often longs to have. I will watch this again and again. You have perfected an art form all your own. You may intend comedy, but this particular video transcended comedy and recame an inactment of the music itself. Thank you ever so much for this video.

[mahlerkid]

Where in the world do people get inspiration for pieces like this seriously! Music like this makes me cry!

[mellotron12]

I made that last comment, not crackheadbuttsniffer. That's a guy I work with and I didn't realize he had signed me off of here.

[crackheadbuttsniffer]

I'm with IceSkateMelis. I too was in tears at the end. Thank you for posting this video. Now, I am happy.

[2octavian]

genius!!! genuine genius!!!

[hcjuancamilo]

I thought this part was going to be funny... at one point it is... but I just can't laugh anymore... great

[trotter23]

The first time I ever heard this I had gone to hear Beethovens 9th,D+T was a "filler" for the main show.

What happened next I could not believe,one of the most stunning pieces of music I have ever heard.

I never got as far as Beethoven that night I just walked out of the Hall stunned by what I had already heard.

To this day I find it one of the most haunting and provocative masterpieces.

[IceSkateMelis]

Wow...When I started watching Part 1 I just started laughing...Then I was hooked and kept on watching...Then had to watch Part 2...And now I have ended up in tears...Beautiful!!!

[harriter88]

This is what great classical music is designed for,Escasty inactment.Brilliant work,and you could not find a more beautiful work to do it with.Strauss's greatest tone poem.Love when the light of Heaven hits you at 6:00.

[podgixx]

The one you did on 6:00 is truly fantastic. The light together with the fortissimo of the orchestra. It's like heaven and God coming down on here.

[fadinoraan]

God damn you!!!! I've not ever seen such a great man with theses feeling!! you're really magnificent. I like your way at 6:45. I was shouting with you all my voice..keep posting these vedios !!!

[podgixx]

Bravo! my warm applause to you, Maestro Wzauscher. You must have really memorized the whole score of it, I'd seen it in your timing. I really love the orchestrations done by Richard Strauss in his compositions and also your ingenious interpretation of his piece.

[HisSoc]

Excellent ending- loved the light motif! Strauss would have been impressed- not sure about Karajan!! :)

[CONTESTAR]

Re: HaHa!! I think exactly the opposite though!

Karajan would love it since he made quite a show of his self indulgent conducting.

On the contrary Strauss thought you can't be minimalistic enough with conducting! He was quoted saying "You just need to through an idle look at the trombons and they will play louder!"

[CyberElektra]

The tears have soaked my beard now, that was truely beautiful, one of my favourite Strauss tone poems.

You should try a long-shot camera view, and dance to the Venusberg Music from Tannhäuser. Keep up the good work.

[Johkas]

Bravo. Absolutamente un poco magnifico (como diría M Kagel).

[tterrace]

Now that's what I call an apotheosis.

[48acar19]

Und du bist sehr huebsch,wz....

Eine gute Musik...dass ist grossartig!

[zpc270479]

Is the Karajan recording from the 70s? One of the most sublime and inspired readings I've heard in a long time.
