HappyWandy457, one ot the great problems, human beings have, is to accept welfare instead of hate. Furtheron, in art there seems to happen the same situation: They want to do art, in spite off . . . In this case, Furtwägler, as a human being and artist, is so far away of having lack of integrit...

HappyWandy457 What treasure this piece means: Brahms inspired (as usual) in Folk-music but enriched by his intellect and unique musical vocabulary . . . And Schoenberg adding his inspiration and orchestral R. Strauss shaped fullfillment of this masterpiece . . . We listeners will allways b...

@CARFREAKENATOR1 Poor fellow, I mean you and not the bassoon player!! If you look at yourself, God has made some mistake too (as in all of us!) He shaped our bones (among other features) NOT IN A STRAIGHT MANNER!!! Take it as a rule: In art things have to be endured towards FULLFILLM...

Yo me pregunto: Como es posible que pianistas tomen este canto del 5 dedo como si fuera un "jopo" de un rulo enardecido? No tienen la capacidad de colocar su corazón en esa extensión, cual si fuera a desangrarse???

Si Schumann es tan elecuente en su forma de componer, pianísticamente hablando, ...

Froehlicherelter@hotmail.com I wonder what opinion has the interpreter of this Romanze ? It looks like she is in a terrible hurry to finish it, unfortunately! To bear in mind: Schumann has allways handled the piano as a singing instrument, in this particular case, you notice that the follow ...

@voltape HappyWandy457, I agree with you and may explain why melomans act like that: They seem to know enough music to permit their limited brain to jump to some conclusions which may confirm themselves. They, naturally, miss the main point of listening to music: It is ment to rejoice eac...

HappyWandy457, I could consider myself a musician if I really ever be able to conduct this unique piece of art from Brahms . . . Following up each voice, menwhile listening what others do, gives you full insight of what is at our disposal on this marvelous composition . . . That Amen, at th...

HappyWandy457, here we have an example of magnificent art. . . . We see a master of the batton, assisted by a singer who has technique of the finest: Renee´s air resources .seem not to end and she administrates it musically to a priviledged voice where all inspiration has room enough to deve...

HappyWandy457, here we hear the result of a conductor´s mistaken view of a choir work: The melisms were not properly reahearsed separately. Phrases do not match between choir and instruments. Choir has good voices but operates unsecure due to unproper work.

HappyWandy457, hervorragend: Diese Mädels zeigen ihr ganzes Können mit viel Bescheidenheit (Hoffentlich verdirbt der Erfolg nicht ihre Herzen). Leider muss Klassische Music wie ein süsser Bonbon einen amerikanisierten Publikum schmackhaft gemacht werden. Das Land der Dichter und Denker...

HappyWandy457, Gustavo, que ejemplo para la juventud de todo el mundo. Gracias a "El Sistema" el mundo musical puede encontrar el raro privilegio que ofrece una ESPERANZA de paz y sosiego a todos los pueblos oprimidos por la mediocridad y el materialismo. Observen: En esta orquesta no h...

HappyWandy457, estamos ante la presencia de un grande! Dudamel seguirá creciendo en su magnificencia, ya que tiene la capacidad retrospectiva de su enorme intelecto vital. El sabe lo que siente y tambien sabe trasmitirlo sin aires de superioridad: Es un músico entre músicos.

Hans Fröhlich ...

HappyWandy457, Bravo Master! Here we see that music is great: As a religion, it bares break-down impulse to hate. As a human attitude (Art so to speak) there is no room to prejudgments, because it has to be played plainly out in front of any feeling. It is as neutrons which penetrate an...

HappyWanda457, when a master - as Barenboim certainly is - chooses a tempo, there is little room to discuss: It is the result of deep developtment confronting dynamics - public response - an particular moment feeling. There is no use to compare it to other interpreters: They all breathe t...

HappyWandy457, because you never played an instrument in an orchestra! Wy is it that silence has to be specified on note paper?

HappyWandy457 @gedugat

Ich stimme dem zu: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf konnte mit ihre Stimme wie ein Instrument Musik gestalten (Bach -Kantaten) oder den Inbegriff der Lyrik Ausdrücken (Richard Strauss - 4 letzte Lieder). Dies verdanken wir ihrer ausgeprägten Atemtechnik und einzigartiges Musiker...

HappyWandy457 @gedugat

Nur einen ganz großen Sänger wie Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau ist so ein langsames Tempo zuzutrauen: Die Gestaltung ist perfekt!!! Der Zuhörer sollte sich diesem Tempo anpassen und nicht störrisch kritisieren, eher dankbar sein mit dem Gehör in der Luft zu schweben . ....

HappyWandy457, here we see again how this unique composer has the gift to bear music with his heart: The secret lyes in working with the middle notes always approaching and stretching narrow about themselves. Narrow intervals worked out in fading melisms, are favorite examples of soul song...

HappyWandy457 @bloodymary61 I would ask this gentleman if he ever has sang this masterpiece!

If the maestro Abbado has chosen a slow tempo and sustained the work as it sounds, is a signal of great professional skil whatsoever . . . Critisism in music is a poison against joy . . .

Ha...

HappyWandy457, I dont know how the score is, but my feelings to this masterpiece say to me: Strauss fitted this unique introduction with natural intervals such as any brass instrument has - to undermine Zarathustra´s fundamental saying - . Thereafter, please do not jump from mayor to minor so...

HappyWandy457, thanks for your reply. Incidentally, there is an important factor I have not considered: In this wonderful piece you have the triplets of timpani which will give you all support breathing for orchestra an choir. Please tell your instrumentalist to (allways) hold triplets back...

HappyWandy457, esta serie representa todo un cuadro explicativo de una cultura basada en una época oscura de nuestra historia. En ella se reflejan todos los distintos desenlaces horrorosos que plasmaron persecusiones religiosas, el despotismo producto de monarquías decadentes, etc.. Es

HappyWandy457, here is an example of unique contact between conductor and interpreters. I have never seen a german orchestra playing with such endeavour and energy. Of course, R. Strauss demands the outmost of musicians!

Bravo Mr. Bychkov!!!

@moonpearl666

I would ask about the slow tempo: Fates do not occur fast, unfortunately . . . Thereafter, a tempo chosen is never too slow . . . In Brahms, a conductor has to watch firstly how the Chor breathes (divisi of voices), in order to keep sound, and so on . . .

HappyWandy457 - Germany

HappyWandy457, here we have an example of spot conducting: If you watch the

gestures - without hearing the performance - you could imagine any piece of calm music, but of course not Brahms! This explains the accurate sound of choir and orchestra, professionally rehearsed but completely lo...

HappyWandy457, this is superb musical thinking! The subtle links between this trilogy -Conductor-Interpreter and Composer were wonderfully described by Barenboim because he is king in all of them! Nevertheless, his hight is quite of a lonely place to share with fellow musicians: There is a...

happywandy457, all I can say is: Comparing this highlight with our great music-inheritance generations ago, there is not much beeing left for us in the future...

Human culture is degrading day by day. It is a sad thing to say . . .

Hans Fröhlich - Germany

happywandy457, when you watch conductors gestures, you´ll find out that great conductors mostly tend to save them as much as possible: This gives confidence to interpreters and permits more body language and mimics to guide all kind of details of the work performed. This piece is an exam...

happywandy457, this superb man is a really sponsor of music culture. We all have to bear in mind that market requirements rather destroys culture, as "normal" people consume trash rather than refined stuff. Gifted artists shood have more power over public opinion in order to sustain culture...
