That the concert was not interrupted with all of that going on outside is astounding.

❤❤❤❤❤

Bruckner was a fckng genius of composition, really underrated by the way.....

3:40

Bravo

Disc recording couldn't match this. The motion-picture industry had had multi-channel sound-on-film technology for several years, but it didn't transfer to music recording.

Terrific conductor!!

Stenhammar’s Serenade, IMHO, is the greatest orchestral work (in late romanticism) by a Swede,

Extraordinary sound quality.

First time seeing him with a baton. Gosh, he’s a powerhouse!

Please? Does anyone know when exactly in 1944 this was played/recorded? thank you!

Pianino Type???!!! Bechstein?? Fabrik Nummer?? - Danke!

Er spielt am 12.04 24 in Steinau an der Straße im Theatrium.

Looking backwards I simply don't know why I did not understand this masterpiece, first time round., but I'm cured now.

Im Dezember war ich bei einem kleinen Konzert von ihm. Sein Buch hat mich von Beginn an gefesselt. Was für ein toller Mensch mit seiner Musik. Ich wünsche ihm und seiner Familie alles Gute, dass er sich hier wohl fühlen kann. Gerne gehe ich wieder zu einem Konzert.

It took me years but I finally came to know this wonderful music.

I freely admit. It took me many years to appreciate this wonderful music, shame on me.

Just did I not appreciate this masterpiece for years actually considered it as rubbish. How wrong I was.

This documentary should be translated into many languages!

Ich würde gerne wissen, was aus den Eltern von Aehem geworden ist? Die Lebensgeschichte von Aehem macht mir Mut und schenkt Hoffnung in dieser bedrückenden Zeit. Vielen Dank dafür!

great dynamics

👍👍👍❤❤❤

Kannte bereits den Film, das Schicksal. Sehr sehr beeindruckend? 👏🌈🎹

This particular recording has to be the most beautiful piece of Music of all time!!! The connoisseurs choice!

The sound of denial and wishful thinking.

I repair and restore vintage Hi FI equipment and have 40+ years experience and the quality of this recording floors me. Was it recorded on paper backed tape or had they made acetate tape at this point. Just for fun when I was 11 in 1960 I took a cheap rim drive dc bias tape recorder and made a bias oscillator for it and the difference was night and day. Everyone should check out the "stereo" 78rpm recordings made with two different record lathes with one as a back-up with microphones in different locations in the 30's.

Very sonorous

😘 Ich sehe diesen TV-Bericht erst jetzt im Februar 2023. Hatte das Glück, Aeham in einem interessanten Theaterstück Anfang Februar zu sehen und persönlich kennenzulernen. So liebenswert und bescheiden ist dieser großartige Künstler. Inzwischen sind da weitere Verbindungen. Danke, Aeham, für alles.

This was the work of a thirty something HvK? Breathtaking, unrivaled, and historical! Thank you for sharing it!

2:30 5:40 Hearing that artillery go off is one thing. It's even more frightening hearing it go off here in STEREO!

blechmusik - do you read what I wrote? We - the people - dont like fake news, what you are providing here until you edit your "artillery-crap-talk"

Please try to talk me out of it, but this is a Steinway D and not a Bechstein 280 which one would one have expected in 1940s Nazi Germany, right?

To bla bla: You certainly are right, if you utter reservations about frequency and dynamic range of tape recordings from 1944. But the microphones - usually Neumann "bottles", condenser with tube pre-amp - were incredibly capable for their time, with a frequency response from 30 till well above 20,000 Hz within very few dB, before 1940. Some ofthese are used still today, also for digital recordings. Anyway this Reichsrundfunk experiment with its eerie background noise of war IS a milestone in recording history. And, by the way, much better in quality than the BBC recordings made of airplane and anti-aircraft-gun noises made through the London Blitz - admittedly the aim of these recordings was not classical music, anyway...

La coda final de esta sinfonía de Brahms, con la presencia de órgano es uno de los momentos estelares de toda la historia de la música clásica.

So berührend. So traurig. Sein Schicksal. Viele Schicksale. Diese Kraft ist unvorstellbar. Ich hab so einen Respekt

I downloaded this Track from the Creators Website. Whenever i hear this Music i get gigantic Goosebumps.

Well, you dont mean artillery (the sovjets did not show up in Berlin i 1944, first in 1945) but bombs from planes.

Think about how many soldiers and civilians died at this very moment of recording. 1944 was a terrible year with millions already killed and it is still unbelievable to me that in such dark times a wonderful and moving recording like this had been made...

I have not listened to enough of Stravinsky.

1944. They are being bombed. We can't understand that. Let's be grateful.

finale of the Firebird is wondrous, enchanting, magical and any number of adjectives that haven't been invented yet

7:45 That is literally movie music itself! It is quite remarkable to have composed such works in those days

Amazed I haven't seen a youtuber do the story of this recording yet

some one knows the song on 6:45 these men are singing? thanks

5:40

One of the best I've heard. Love the pacing, the extreme ritardando just before the coda.

Nach dem ich das Buch gelesen habe, habe ich diesen Video angeschaut. Beides, sowohl das Buch als auch dieses Video ist sehr berührend und zeigt auch, wie sehr Menschen, die nichts haben unsere Hilfe brauchen. Danke für dieses Tolle Video und die wahnsinnig schöne Musik. Viel Glück dir und deiner Familie in Deutschland Aeham Ahmad.❤️

ブロムシュテットさんって、いつから指揮棒を持たなくなったんだろう？

De esas interpretaciones impecables, pulcras pero sobre todo con el corazón en la batuta.
