[NavarroTurres]

7:20.....trumpet solo....he was tired.....

[maresogno67]

straordinario!



[hoiho96]

Einfach wunderbar!

[Silvabone]

Thanks for sharing this recording with us. I am sure that it is a really rare stuff, and also: sounds well!

[Rollinavonsh]

our school orchestra is gonna perform it next tue, and I can tell that our conductor is really frustrated of our rehearsals lately.. I understand how much presures he must have, but I really wish he can relax a little bit, and I wish everyone can practice a little bit before the concert, at least I should..

[chocotastic]

@Rollinavonsh Not so sure a school doing this is really the best idea..

[FCO0710]

are their multiple trumpets playing the solo at :32 ....?

[RedSoxWSAgain]

@FCO0710 Yea there are. I just noticed that on my first listen. Interesting......

[twosweethounds]

@FCO0710 Sounds like it.

[paulybarr]

@FCO0710 Yes ! Karajan just can't stop himself ' improving' Mahler's orchestration !

[CDugan7]

@FCO0710 Yes. If you listen closely, their unison note at the start at the phrase right at :32 isn't together.

[PINCHUNO]

@FCO0710 yes, unfortunately. Unnecessary

[GaryGP40]

Tremendous recording. von Karajan is one of my favorites and no matter what (Beethoven, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, etc.) he brings artistry, class and a true air of genius to the interpretation!

[duply01]

Meh.. I guess Mahler wasn't one of Karajan's strong points, was it.

[timcmillan10]

is it me or does the trumpet crack at 7:20 I know there's a big chance of me being wrong I was just wondering?

[JMillerBayRidge]

Yes, he cracks..but listen, for an entire Mahler 2, 3, 5 or 6th symphony..I would say your chances of 100% accuracy are pretty slim

[donottawaguitar]

cool

[dermitder77]

das soll auf meiner beerdigung laufen...

[Penimann]

bravo berliner philharmoniker!

karajan ist auch ganz ok...

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Interesting, at 2:12 the trumpet line is above the entire orchestra. Every other recording I've heard mixes the melody/harmony at an equal volume, how unique.

[otherjoe1234]

brilliant!!

[Bochoff1]

Man sagt, Karajan habe nur das Standart-Repertoire der Klassik beherrscht. Man sagt, er habe selbst dort nur stereotype Wohlklang-Ästhesik betrieben und nichts Bleibendes geschaffen. Man sagt, bei den Werken der Spätromantik und der Gegenwartmusik sei er an seine Grenzen gestoßen...

Die Inspiration und die technische Brillianz schon allein der hier vorliegenden Einspielung von Mahlers Fünfter beweist ganz eindeutig das Gegenteil!

[ydraki]

@Bochoff1 You are so right in defending Karajan's extremely wide and almost limitless musical range. To pigeonhole him - perhaps the greatest conductor of the 20th century - painting him in smaller box, simply does NOT speak to facts/reality.

[huwbsuhos]

@Bochoff1 Das er Wert auf technische Brillianz legte bestreitet wohl niemand, im Gegenteil, es ist Teil der Wohlklang-Ästhetik, gegen die ich nichts habe. Inspiriert ist diese Aufnahme allerdings nicht, genauso wenig wie fast alle Karajan-Aufnahmen. Außer vielleicht bei Mozart-Symphonien wird man immer eine bewegender4e Aufnahme finden als Karajan, höre dich einfach mal um.

[TheLeonardoSaez]

Muchas gracias a ti por la sugerencia, es un gran placer para mi difundir tan magnífica obra en tan hermosa versión...

Inmensos saludos para ti también !

[VonKarajanBPO]

Thanks for posting this video. Karajan interpretations/recordings need to be preserved and treasured as a model of greatness!

[innerdeth]

[lau399]

Eres increible. Muchisimas gracias por subir el video....La voy a escuchar ahora mismo. Un saludo inmenso!
