It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period

  • This is probably the best version I have ever heard. So sensitive en pure.

  • I laugh at everyone saying how fast or slow the cannon should be played. Classical music is and will be always open to interpretation. That is what makes this music stand out (over hundreds of years).

    You can't bash one of the greatest conductors of all time for conducting too quickly. This is how he interpreted and isn't at all incorrect. Whether you like it or not is a different matter which and you are free to share it however saying that Karajan was "wrong" in his tempo is ignorance.

  • Bravo !!! I love this version. Straight forward and still sensitive. Thank you :).

  • Karajan loved the baroque period. In this recording he was conducting from the harpsicord.

    Similarly, the master recorded Vivaldi's Gloria, the Bach Magnificat and B Minor Mass. I do love the smothness at 3:35 and following. Thanks wong for the posting.

  • Karajan never ever fails to provide me with chills. Oh, how I love you!

  • EXCELENTE ME ENCANTRA... :) MI FAVORITO

  • @rumpwrestler

    Sloppy with performances and recordings? He was a perfectionist. In the end the Berlin Philarmoniker got tired of him simply because he was, and rightfully so, one might add, a musical dictator. The fact is that his interpretations are the finest out there, and clearly most people with good ears doesnt vomit when they hear his name, for he and his music are still loved and adored.

  • to wykonanie zdecydowanie jest najlepsze na świecie!!!!! Karajan jest najlepszy!!!

    

  • @centrywaiting SLOW ??????? it's the fastest i have ever heard ! ....within 5 minutes ........Von Karajan is GOD !!

  • I think it's rather fast ; faster than the most canon's iha ve heard !!

  • Canon has been so over-played to the point I want to vomit. They always play it so fast that it's like stuffing food down you throat. Gotta say: Karajan rules!!

  • Its the best version I have heard on Youtube!!
