Verdi - Messa da Requiem - Lacrymosa Dies Illa.avi

[Liandolo]

In Paradiso, penso che si suoni in questo modo!!! Karajan, sarà stato un divo....ma bisogna ammettere che alcune sue direzioni sono inarrivabili. Questo Verdi è stato interpretato in modo commovente, potente, nitido.....sublime!

[dvaculiky]

Genius Verdi, genius Karajan, genius singers. Thank you all!

[anavanesaroman]

Maravilloso..

[MrZandrodeamerica]

Extraordinario...!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cherubijn100]

Magnificent!*****

[CeciliaLucretiaBadea]

This work is perfect to comfort a friend who just lost his wife. Thank you for this special version with Karajan.

[detherioner]

i'm in love.

[jyr34]

C'est magnifique ! De l'Art à son état le plus pur, le plus éclatant comme un diamant ! Thank you so much omraamm !!!

[Kinneballer36]

I like Verdi's Requiem much more than Mozart's. Verdi's has such amazing power, especially Dies Irea and Tuba Mirum.

[uncleduck14]

@Kinneballer36 I totally agree..

[giovannibrunoro]

@Kinneballer36 maybe because mozart did not complete it. :D 

[3100nfs]

E' semplicemente sublime sentire questo brano!

[Azatoten]

Overwhelming.

[bodiloto]

IL CORO - SUBLIME!

[Chiollodario]

God is smiling!

[MrFlutiste1]

Perfect...

[chuchubear90]

absolutely beautiful

[stoop270]

Zo schoon!!!!

[brameijk]

Everytime I see pieces like this performed by an orchestra it is as if God himself brought divine inspiration upon the composers and the musicians.

absolutely astounding!

:D

[thahaism]

être rempli par un tel moment de grâce ne peut que nous inciter à un désir de gratitude et de partage

[cherubijn100]

This masterpiece touched my heart every time.

[CJSweatt]

I'm curious to know whether this is available on an audio recording anywhere? I searched iTunes for this, but couldn't find it.... I'd love to buy an audio recording of this, if one exists. This is probably one of the most superb versions I have ever heard.

[NKWIAM]

@CJSweatt I don't know if this is available or not. However, I just purchased a Requiem by Von Karajan which features L. Price, F. Cossotto, L. Pavarotti, and N. Ghiaurov (sic) which is magnificent. They were all in their early years and I think you would enjoy it.

[CJSweatt]

@NKWIAM: Thanks for the info! I'll definitely look it up.

[VladaMu1]

hear Hone and Talvella.......

[Siberiaeterna]

One of the most beautiful video of You Tube.

[sas147741]

Karajan will never die

[geminisque]

Herbert Von Karajan aporta un plus, como si el Requiem fuese para sí mismo. Bellísimo y conmovedor!!!

[Siberiaeterna]

Sublime!

[AphroditeEros33]

superb! Thank you very much for posting & sharing this magnificent video.

[molofucker]

thanks god for this kind of music!

[DiesIrae676]

Getting diction out a choir is quite difficult :) Though with if the director and choir but dedicate them self to clear Diction its possible!  I am always sure to keep the text clear so the audience has full aesthetic awareness. As you see here, professional or not, it adds an incredible amount to the performance :)

[AnryK2690]

Perfection!

Karajan is a God!

[soulsurrender]

This may sound trivial...but did the chorus actually performed the whole Requiem by memory?? Wow...this piece is quite complex itself with the notes and key changes. Imagine the practice involved!

[7eccoloqua7]

@soulsurrender

i guess the answer is: Germans.... and Karajan....

though the 4 soloists have their partition..

[soulsurrender]

Lol. Yeah, you can actually catch the baritone soloist sneaking a peek at 1:13. Another thing I notice bout German choirs are how they perform - stand upright, look straight ahead, hardly any movements except the mouths. But yet still manage to sound so expressive.

[boris1281]

the chorus is superb, too, such a fantastic diction is rarely heard in this passage!

[1sumiresan2]

@boris1281

Vielen Dank für das Kompliment. Es singt aber keinesfalls der Balgarska Chorova Kapela Svetoslav Obretenov, sondern die Konertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor. Die Aufnahme stammt aus dem Wiener Musikvereinssaal. Ich weiß es deshalb so genau, weil ich selbst im Rahmen des Wr. Stop.Chores mitgesungen habe.

[barneswriter]

Sublime

[Tallyzip]

i saw them performing this live yesterday, was amazing!

[rusianace]

Anna Tomowa's solo gives me goosebumbs

[Janus1981BR]

This portion of the Verdi Requiem was well done by this group. I can't think of any way in which this performance of the Lacrimosa could have been improved upon.

[BBozhkilov]

It can. If Ghiaurov, Ghena Dimitrova and Luciano Pavarotti sang it. There is a recording with Karajan, Pavarotti and Nicolai Ghiaurov, but a pitty Ghena Dimitrova isn't on the same recording too... Anyways, this recording is on a high level as well. Seems like Maestro Herbert von Karajan favored Bulgarians, this honors me.

[vivomusique]

Let us not forget Leontyne Price ;-)

[neapolis1982]

buona performance... ma c'era anche la versione con la price, cossoto, pavarotti e ghiuarov, sempre karajan a condurre qui... quella era davvero sublime. non si tova più su youtube purtroppo :(

[Apollogranforte]

E` stata messa appena oggi. L'ho appena vista. E` stata inserita da ingridDoppler una giovane austriaca, amante dell'opera italiana e grandissima ammiratrice del sommo baritono Ettore Bastianini.

[MattiaFlacio]

A parte Agnes Baltsa che a un certo punto sembra aver inghiottito un rospo, Karajan è sempre il migliore... Da brivido!

[cindy4earth]

beyond this world

[lmspr]

Thanks so much for posting this. It's so impressive. This is my favorite part of the Requiem. Karajan captures the majesty of the Lacrymosa so well. I like all the singers, except Carreras, who sounds really strained. If the Carreras from the 1973 Traviata clips I just watched was singing in this Requiem, then the cast would be pretty perfect.

[harmonicana80]

Yah, for years now that's pretty much the only response one could have to Carreras without kidding themselves.

When you mentioned the 73 Traviata clips, I immediately knew what you meant. His voice sounded absolutely incredible there, and the emoting and interpretation were as perfect as anyone ever got. But even then there were "issues", I have the complete recording of that Traviata and it's missing a whole Alfredo aria in it (O mio rimorso). :(

I find him really frustrating to like.

[dazzling1067]

beyond heaven. wow!!!

[toscaninizt]

truly sublime

[gheeah2]

heavenly...
