  • @fafnis Era Eberhard Finke il "secondo" di Borwitsky in questa splendida esecuzione di Herbert

  • that was some of the weirdest sounding applause ive ever heard!

  • This must be the best recording of William Tell ever made.....

  • @fafnis and still is....... 

  • it IS!!

  • master......

  • @861Sailor You might want to check out the Montreal Symphony Orchestra with Charles Dutoit. Now that recording is out of this world!

  • @fafnis And they'd been with Karajan for so long that he hardly had to move any more in order for them to know what he wanted from them, which was increasingly important, as he became less and less capable of movement as the years went by...

  • Yes, imagine having those cellists play the opening of Cavaradossi's aria, "E lucevan le stelle," in the last act of Tosca. I've had cello quartets that made me want to wince onstage, and once I actually turned away from the audience to hide such a reaction to what was coming at me from the pit. This is heavenly...

  • i think this orchestra was beyond human's ability, perhaps at an alien level.

    Perhaps we don't even have a word to describe how perfect this orchestra was.. I'm unfortunate that I wasn't born at this time period to watch in real concert.......
