Anton Bruckner: Symphony Nr. 5 in B-flat major, WAB 105 

You do know he died in 1989. Perhaps he may occasionally read this page from the ether.

@@vittoriostoraro lol

@@vittoriostoraro Karajan will never die, my friend

Yes-and you wanna know the most annoying thing. It's when the music in the ad is better than the symphony you're listening to!😉🤙

I was station in Berlin in the early 1970s I saw Karajan conduct many times , He was fantastic , Cant help to think when he was a young man he was under the patronage of Gorhing , He conducted the first concert in Paris after the surrender in 1940 , I think he was only 20 some thing ,

Then sign up for youtube premium and pay the fee to have no commercials. That is how it works today sadly

Reminds me of what Scriabin said about one of his works, where the universe was supposed to collapse at the finale. But he's no Bruckner!

@@johnbayer9795 haha

Jorge Ledesma, ¿Cuál es el porqué de llamar a la monumental quinta sinfonía en Si bemol mayor como ''la sinfonía más teológica'' de Bruckner? Tengo mucha curiosidad, la verdad. Gracias.

No, Seven nation army sounds like this. It's been said the stripes stole it, but I think it's more a theme than a particular melody. Could be wrong tho

@@n.d.miller1543 I don't think they "stole it". I myself once came up with a theme that bore some resemblance to the Telemann Sonata (first movement of my symphony which is on my channel), it's even in the same key - but I had never heard that work before nor had I even heard of Telemann until someone pointed it out. It's theoretically possible that I heard it in the background at some point in my life and subconsciously recalled it, though I think it's more likely to just be a coincidence. Same could be said for The White Stripes. I somehow doubt they were listening through Bruckner looking for material to take lol

@@HyperionResident I didn't say they did, I said that it is said they did. Also, my point is more one of chronological order. In the same way that you say a child looks like a parent , less often the other way around.

@@n.d.miller1543 Well I wasn't disputing you specifically, but rather the claim itself just in case anyone reading actually thinks that lol. It just doesn't seem very likely, all things considered. Your point is also correct, but sadly the vast majority of people are not familiar with Bruckner or his works, like at all, so for them it would be the proverbial child, even though it's not that way at all lol

Where? I don't hear it. Could anyone drop a timestamp?

@Juan Richart Ruiz Seguramente hay algo que se me escapa de esta sinfonía y que sólo es posible apreciar una vez uno la ha escuchado muchas veces. Tal vez en ese momento la entienda un poco más y también, de paso, por qué la llaman "Sacrale" :S

@@aguador67 La verdad que comprendo sus impresiones. La quinta sinfonía junto con la novena son las obras de Bruckner que más me han costado asimilar. La novena incluso diría que más, es tan visionaria. La quinta sinfonía de Bruckner llama la atención por su construcción. Pese a ser una obra del período romántico cuando uno la escucha muchas veces, como es mi caso, descubre un contrapunto destacable. Este aspecto nos hace recordar al barroco. Un uso del contrapunto muy personal, como leí una vez por ahí. Pero contrapunto al fin y al cabo. Esto donde se lleva a la cúspide es en el intrincado final. Otro de los puntos dificultosos de esta sinfonía es su longitud. La quinta de Bruckner debe de estar no solamente entre las sinfonías brucknerianas más largas sino también del sinfonismo en general. Pero la verdad que escucha tras escucha uno se engancha a admirar tamaño edificio sonoro. Con buena razón dijo un tal musicólogo alemán Harry Halbreich que la quinta de Bruckner es una ''gigantesca catedral sonora''. Tras haberle dado muchas oportunidades en la actualidad es mi sinfonía predilecta de Bruckner junto con la octava y novena. Ya de movimientos sueltos me conmueve el adagio de la séptima, cómo no.

Tal vez no sea ello la voluntad de Karajan, sino el feno'meno "Frankenstein" hi'brido de tres elementos: !) los gustos de los cri'ticos y otros acade'micos, a quienes el Maestro les teme, por lo tanto, les desea complacer. 2) los gustos de las masas animales sin espi'ritu, o mejor dicho, co'mo se los imagina el Maestro por temor a ellos, aunque e'sos malos gustos no sean verdad, so'lo existan en el Id del Maestro 3) los reprimidos, verdaderos gustos del Maestro, los cuales siempre he crei'do ser ELEVADOS. Por favor, piense en mi ana'lisis y ha'gali con profundidad. Creo que en Europa, la Libertad Arti'stica y la Integridad de e'sta han dejado de existir. ¡Pobre Maestro Karajan! Lo compadezco. Histo'ricamente, esta miseria ha sido la de tantos Artistas.

The Finale contains Bruckner's most elaborate counterpoint which gives his Fifth Symphony a stand alone status.

Bruckner isn't meant to be exciting all the time - the message of each symphony is very inward in its own unique way.

You must not be a brass player...without Bruckner there is no Mahler.

Take out your earplugs and try playing the video again?

You do need to listen more, if you’re capable of hearing. This is a symphonic masterpiece. And if you can’t hear the themes, that’s YOUR problem. No fault of Anton’s

enjoy all them :)

The Adagio is brilliant, try Celibidache next time
