Symphony No 8 by Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

[Spiritakis]

I am sorry to be the first to click the ''not like'' button. The music is of course terrific and so is the performance; the slideslow, though not my cup of tea, is certainly beautiful and fits the music surprisingly well. BUT - why did you cut this first part almost in the middle?! It's true that this is the 'Unfinished' symphony, but the first part was finished and right after your cut there is an amazing climax. What a pity: there's only one Karajan's 'Unfinished' on YT and it's mutilated.

[Truus1949]

@Spiritakis My first intention was to put the thumb down because of a bad comment, but I didn't. It is okay by me that it is not your cup of tea, nice to read further that you did find it fits well with the music, but I do really hate it that people simply assume that I do something, like you assume that I have cut in the music. I have bought this piece the way it is in the store, so blame them and not me. Nevertheless thank you for your time to watch and listen.

[Spiritakis]

@Truus1949

Would you mind telling me which is the exact CD where this excerpt can be found?

I would certainly blame the people who release such ridiculously cut versions, not something unusual for Karajan's recordings, alas. But you're not altogether innocent either, for you propagate the mutilation.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter. People who really care for the music will know what to listen to. In case you do care, I suggest you find a complete recording of the symphony.

[KarajanBeethoven]

@Spiritakis The CD has the title "Herbert von Karajan - The Legend" and was released by EMI in 2008 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Karajan's birthday. I don't know if there's also a recording of the Schumann-Symphonies only, because this is a double-cd-mix. It is a recommndable recording, in my opinion.

[Spiritakis]

@KarajanBeethoven

Thank you for your answer. I don't have a copy of the CD but as far as I can see from timings on Amazon, the first part of Schubert's Unfinished seems complete, quite unlike the video above. Leaving aside the fact that symphonies really should be listened to in toto, the recording does indeed contain some of Karajan's best recordings; and some of them are rather scarce on other CDs, like the pieces by Strauss for instance. Will get a copy for them only.

..beautiful part of a music...excellent tune...spectacular image...great composer.....

[bracrowe]

I know this recording - I had it on LP when I was a kid and I loved it. I remember every nuance and it is wonderful to hear it again - and I really like your art! Thanks for doing this - it has been really moving

[evalewis1]

I love Karajan! You made a nice video! Great job! Thank you!

[devaraja42]

I'd really like it if you could finish the movement! This is probably my favorite out of all the recordings of Schubert's Unfinished on Youtube...

Amazing!

I'm sure that if Schubert was able to see this video he would have been so moved...

Thank you!!

[BocaFriend]

This is splendid, Truus! I'm more familiar with Schubert's piano compositions than his orchestral work, so am a bit embarassed I never knew that this recognizable 'theme' originated from his unfinished symphony! Live and learn each day at YouTube-U (short for university)

Thanks, Professor! : )

[Truus1949]

Thank you!! :-) I just wanted to use those terragen and bryce images and with a Schubert piano composition it didn't fit. But I want this piece of music and as you have heard I found it :-) I am really happy that you are again wiser today! :-))

[DariaVelZiutka]

That's just brilliant! Outstanding music and amazing pictures! It was a pleasure to watch and listen. :-)

Whooo I loved that piece! This video is definitely going to my favourites. :-)

Best wishes!

[Truus1949]

Thank you very much Daria for your wonderful comment and adding to your favorites :-)

From the window of my room I see a beautiful almond-tree full of white flowers. Schubert has always seemed to me an excellent choice to welcome the spring.

hugs and kisses from me.

[MissMarilyn1962]

Ik blijf het gewoon knap vinden hoe jij 'groeit' in elke video verder en verder...

Schitterend hoe 'punctueel' alles 'op stipt' elkaar opvolgt...

Boeiend om 'jouw gedachten' te volgen...Niet moeilijk voor me... ik 'verplaats mij graag in de ander' en kijk met ogen die jij de beelden geeft.... :-)

With love Marilyn

[Truus1949]

Dank je Marilyn, dit had ik even nodig na het debacle van afgelopen weekend :-)

Dit was een heerlijke video om te doen, juist omdat ik met deze muziek weer wat kon uitproberen.

Nogmaals dank je wel voor je lieve woorden.

With love
