Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op.90 - I. Allegro con brio --- KARAJAN

[alittlebeatle]

Brahms and Karajan= a refreshing combination after a school day of my fellow classmates raving about Selena Gomez and Rihana (not that they are not aloud to like that but I don't)

[InformalDress]

@alittlebeatle i believe you are using aloud incorrectly, it should be: Allowed.

[alittlebeatle]

@InformalDress true, thank you for correcting me 

[Safran1946]

Brahms created one of the deepest, most beautiful and tragic music in history, out of his love for Clara Schumann. PLEASE RESPECT THIS! Any uncivilized comments should be deleted.

[Sagaciux]

@Safran1946 More accurate to say that was Robert Schumann.

[CardsAsWeapons]

Has Karajan ever heard of articulation?

[nikolaimedtner]

@CardsAsWeapons Yes.

[CardsAsWeapons]

@nikolaimedtner

Not so sure judging from this recording!

[nikolaimedtner]

@CardsAsWeapons Well then....have a good time here "judging" Karajan. I'm sure you are qualified to do that...;-)

[CardsAsWeapons]

@nikolaimedtner

What does qualification have to do with having an opinion about interpretation? That's not even a valid argument. Besides, I think Stock does a much better job ;)

[IHeartOscarWilde]

I lost my virginity to this song!!!!!!! :D

[81rodeoman]

I think Clara Shumann likes Brahms only for his music...he is rockin that beard

[DavePerry2012]

@81rodeoman Hard to say. Before he got fat and started losing his hair, he could have been a male model.

[TheForeignersNetwork]

I really love how Brahms isn't afraid to be operatic with this symphony. It's absolutely beautiful.

[Triosfrios]

This symphony is addictive.

[javilack]

When I listen to Brahms, I think of Beethoven at 90.

[parabat7]

@javilack Yes I agree, although Brahms 1 has passages that sound more like Ludo 9 than innovation.

[LFZ15]

the best and most amazing and awesomest and most moving opening to any symphony composed by a human ever. gets me every time. a lot. really bad.

[octopuscollective]

1 2 3 4 5 6 any cellists that have played this know what i mean.. my g/f is playing this at gradschool. omg i love brahms

[romanitza24]

One of his simphony i like best. Then of course, there is the 4th one, which is also a masterpiece, but of a more sober nature... This one is so luminous :)

[fiddlerkrt]

The nice thing about the first movement is that the piece seems to be a struggle between beauty and grandeur. Ultimately it ends in peace.

[parabat7]

@fiddlerkrt Once described by Benjamin Britten thus ' If written by a Briton (laugh from audience) this symphony would be felt to epitomise the change from the Hanoverian period to Victorian majesty.' Think I prefer your analysis.

[MrGunterguerrero]

Brahms moved me to tears.

[saintdracula1]

@MrGunterguerrero Same here: except the pieces were his 4th symphony (Passacaglia) and theme and variation on Haydn.

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

sounds like james bond music! right at the beginning!

[halneufmille]

I like Brahms for the emotion and passion you can feel underlying his music. He was a true romantic. I couldn't say his music was as subtle and genius as Mozart or Beethoven though.

[akagi2002]

@halneufmille Yes! Did you hear it? "Frei aber froh", He was a true romantic!

[Choiboy525]

Can't we just be civil and appreciate the music? Please?

[alittlebeatle]

@Choiboy525 THANK YOU. Continue youre futil discution in the inbox evajom1 and bernardprofitendieu.please

[youngestofdeez]

@Choiboy525 no, it's the internet!

[evajom1]

He used my laptop you prick.I couldn't care less what you are arguing about,I am not interested,but you are a total cunt.I don't know if you're American or just a French-sounding pillock who worships them ,but please fuck off back to your nursery.

[evajom1]

Actually it was my brother using my sign-in and he will answer you in due course.I haven't a clue what the dispute is about,but I can tell from your girly reply just what a prize wanker you are.Now fuck off and die.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@evajom1 you're 58 and your brother uses your sign-in? pathetic.

"my brother using my sign-in" has become the youtube version of "the dog ate my homework" - no one believes either of them

[aarandir]

One of the most sublime moments of my relativity young life was when I was listening to the first few bars of this symphony as my plane was touching down in Hamburg Airport. Send chills down my spine!

[evajom1]

It's a shame that Karajan doesn't observe the exposition repeat, which makes the beginning of the development with the second subject an even bigger surprise.

[MsAmin1983]

nice symphony

best symphony

im love brahms

[MsAmin1983]

nice symphony

[Rkmajora]

Epic.

[sarahdom26]

Romantic

[danielpinasco]

pufff; lo mejor de lo mejorcito

[jojoereturns]

Neopolitian at 0:25. Yes!

[BernardProfitendieu]

so far, so boring

[DavePerry2012]

@BernardProfitendieu Compared to?

[evajom1]

@BernardProfitendieu

So far, so stupid.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@evajom1 you think it's stupid as well as boring? well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion!

[evajom1]

@BernardProfitendieu

No, Bernard, I think that YOU are stupid as well as boring.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@evajom1 and yet YOU are the one responding to 6 month old comments - what a lonely life you must lead to spend your time that way.

so far, so completely tool-like (and I mean you, not Brahms!)

[evajom1]

@BernardProfitendieu

You know nothing about my life and even less about Brahms.

Do us all a favour and fuck off.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@evajom1 wasn't it you who contacted me, dearie?

and I DO know a lot about your life - you're the guy sitting in front of his screen wearing a dirty undershirt in his small, fetid apartment while sending out comments to anyone who doesn't agree with his opinion about Brahms.

Advice: if you can't deal with the responses, don't send messages to strangers.

Now go take a shower (more than 1 a week IS allowed) - I can smell you from here and it's not pleasant!

[Shnufkin]

@BernardProfitendieu Ouch!

[sondano]

Brahms has brilliant themes then he quickly turns them into total boredom. This is why Beethoven and Tchaikovsky were far superior composers. They could use their themes and make them interesting throughout the movements.

[Rkmajora]

Rather, that is why they are more overrated, because most don't have the patience for "boring" things. Brahms proves his genius in many ways.

[stephengnelson]

once upon a time, it actually meant something to be a westerner!

Brahms has made me realize this.

[moonsoul18]

Groovy

[pernicious65]

Studying this era for my music class....

[dp100]

@pernicious65 who isnt? haha

[giorgio56h]

Beautiful!

A question for npa589.

Which karajan's brahms cycle is? I suppose Berliner Philharmoniker but wiìhich year?

[musicfreak49911]

Wunderschön und einfach genial :-)

[sexandthesuburbs]

Love it

[6211945]

Muchísimas gracias,npa589, qué cosa más bella.

Abrazos.

[roldaoalmeida]

I love Brahms's symphonies ( in special, this one ) and I love Dvorak ' s symphonies as well!! Maybe I could not be correct, but I think we can find some sort of Brahms's influence in some Dvorak 's symphonies ( Symphonies number 2, 3, 4, 6).

[muesk3]

Of course you can. Brahms tutored him, and they were close friends. Brahms even supported him financially at some point in his life.

[UpTheShakers]

Marvellous, one to favourite. This music was used very well throughout the BBC drama 'First and Last' (1989) starring Joss Ackland as a retired man who walks from Land's End to John O'Groats. It was also referred to ironically by Basil Fawlty as "Brahms Third Racket" in the Fawlty Towers episode 'A Touch of Class'.

[SonofDostojevskij]

Brahms, one of the greats, this symphonie really is stunning.
