Yes I've seen those, lot of people find it annoying when they hear him humming in the recordings, but that's what makes them historic!

No, what makes them historic is that they're really good and by a famous conductor.

Lovely playing.TY herblich1 for posting.

@jetzt0844 -He was immoral as well. A bigot who avoided paying his bills as well. An admitted anti semite.
-
@GermanOperaSinger -Glenn Gould hummed what he was playing on piano almost always.

@rerakoke: Doesn't bad taste deserve to be criticised?
-
@LJBSasha these remarks remind me of von Buelow's reaction to the cymbal crash in the Adagio of Bruckner's seventh. Who needs all this pedantry!
-
That's right !
-
@wks1978: It's not that it shouldn't be there at all - the score specifies it. However, it should be just barely audible, whereas it's very strident here!! [Perhaps it might be an idea - although it likely's unorthodox - to have one cymbal played with a sponge-head mallet instead of being crashed with a second cymbal.]
-
@LJBSasha I agree -the cymbal crash sounds like it belongs in a Verdi overture!

For me, the best Preludio in the history of music: pure light sound's, rising harmony.
This is amazing!!!! I always cry while listening to this!
Just one question: isn't this the prelude to the 1st act? I'm asking because you wrote it's to act 3. Or did I get it wrong?

Excellent, I have a 1936 recording of this and you can actually hear the Maestro humming along to the music, like he often did. I'll post it if I have time.

Yes, you can even see him humming in the video recordings of the Walkürenritt and the Lohengrin prelude to the 3rd act, do you know those ones?
