  • I don't beleive a simple mortal man can create a such beauty.

    Brahms is one of these gods that came on earth to give a present to humans, and I wonder if we really deserve it. Sorry for my english, I am french :) butfortunatelly music is universal !

  • @gabz00 You might be interested in reading Brahms' history (if you dont know it already of course =p) Im sure you will find it fascinating how he was self conscious of his pieces. At least orchestral pieces, at that time everyone was living "in the shadow of Beethoven." It was basically thought that his 9th symphony was the pinnacle of the symphony. As much as I love Beethoven's 9th this one does something to me that no other symphony has done. It is just shear... perpetual beauty.

  • Amazing how just a descending line of minor thirds can make such a gorgeous melody

  • thank you so much for this treasure, Carlos Kleiber loves and understand Brahms,GREAT!

  • @gabz00 hey that was pretty good english!

  • @allegrettus The distortion is due to the YouTube bitrate compression. It is unfortunate that this video was uploaded as 240p, which has an audio bitrate of 60 kbps. That's too low for music of any kind; suitable only for speech.

  • @Mastadex Lol, yea I know.  It was a joke.

  • @emeralddreams888 Haydn wrote over 100 symphonies.

  • @MaximPodolsky Yes, but show me an example of someone that composed music with the seething emotions of a Brahms that was happy and content in married life. There needs to be an inner struggle going on in someone to compose music of this kind. Just like you would create music of a Beethoven out of someone that didn't have his inner demons as well. Brahms had an extended fantasy period in his life where he was allowed to dream, a married man has those feelings snuffed out quick.

  • @toowaker37 Everyone is different. You can't say he was great because he wasn't married. There were all kinds of great people in the past who were married, single, gay, straight, etc...
