This performance is ok but not great. I base this on the conducting not the playing.....the best video of this work is Karajan-Berlin. Karajan's view, ideas, the long lines, how he hands the climaxes, etc put's Harding to shame. Haitink would have been better to do this with Berlin.

what horn is the first chair trombone player and what key is it in? thanks!

I heard that at the Berlin Philharmonic, you normally have to conduct by heart. Is that true?
-
Watching these videos is kind of frustrating for horn players sometimes. The horns are roaring away the whole time and the camera shows them ONCE.

I think Strauss was like 24 when he wrote this. Interesting to compare this musical "take" on death with "Four Last Songs" which he wrote 60 years later.

@FungoBoy It´s true. I think he studied with Simon Rattle and Claudio Abbado



did Harding study with Sir Rattle? i see quite a bit of similarity of their conducting...
