Bruckner - Te Deum 

The last performance of Bruckner's TE DEUM ,which Bruckner himself attended, was conducted by Richard von Perger at the suggestion of Johannes Brahms. On his copy of the score, Gustav Mahler crossed out "für Chor, Soli und Orchester, Orgel ad libitum" (for choir, solos and orchestra, organ ad libitum) and wrote "für Engelzungen, Gottsucher, gequälte Herzen und im Feuer gereinigte Seelen!" (for the tongues of angels, heaven-blest, chastened hearts, and souls purified in the fire!). The composer himself called the work "the pride of his life".

When I was a kid, I attended a performance of Bruckner's "Te Deum" in Cleveland. Unknown to us, a large contingent of the brass section had been stationed in the rear of the auditorium in a high balcony. When the piece reached the Last Judgment part, so to speak, near the end, the "heavenly" brass instruments began to play and took everyone by surprise. From there to the finish, it was goose-bump city, I can tell you.

Bruckner lived in another dimension.

This has me so excited to perform this in May!! My choir was supposed to sing it in 2020 and then the pandemic hit. Needless to say, we are all so incredibly glad to be back and to be singing this!

There is a reason Bruckner called this his masterpiece.

And yeah, he was back home in Austria when he recorded this, but nothing short of his forty years of experience conducting the Berliners could have prepared anyone to pull off something this complicated so well. The greats wield an enormously positive influence upon each other, not just us.

The BEST Interpretation of GREAT Bruckner´s TE DEUM...of Course by Maestro Herbert von Karajan...MAGNIFICENT...GENIUS!...Thanks Maestro von Karajan!... Karajan´s GREATNESS forever!...

Welch göttlich geschaffene WERKE dieses unglaublichen Genies Anton Bruckner

It is regrettable that it is monaural recording. The performance is wonderful. It is truly Bruckner of Karajan.

This was also done in 1979 when he visited Japan with the Berlin Philharmoniker. By the way, that day was a coupling with Mozart's Requiem. It was, in fact, an unprecedented expedition to Japan on an unprecedented scale that was not feasible in Salzburg, Vienna, or even Berlin. Perhaps there was something in Karajan's own heart that he had for his second home, Japan. BPh's very special full-length, all super-first-class chief players and world-famous soloists, and the Wiener Singverein Chorus, which he was also a lifelong music director like BPh, was a gorgeous in Tokyo only. These were the nights of the concert only in Tokyo Japan. Now, if there is a video of the performance at the Fumonkan Hall at that time, I definitely want to see it. I wonder if it exists somewhere. Here are the schedule for the historic performances in Tokyo Japan 1979. ↓ The Berlin Philharmoniker Orchestra conducted by Herbert von Karajan performed in Japan in October 1979 a total of nine times, all at the now-defunct Fumonkan (Suginami Ward) in Tokyo. It was like similar to Das Große Festspielhaus in Salzburg. 16th = Mozart: Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major, K.543 / Richard Strauss: Symphonic poem "Zaratustra Talks" op.30 17th = Mahler: Symphony No. 6 in A minor "Tragedy" 18th = Schubert: Symphony No. 7 in B minor, D.759 "Unfinished" / Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, op.64 19th = Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 in G major op.88 / Mussorgsky (Arranged by Ravel): Pictures at an Exhibition Mid-day break 21st = Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, op.125 "with chorus" Anna Tomowa-Sintou (soprano), Luza Baldani (alto), Peter Schreier (tenor), Jose van Dam (bass) 22nd = Haydn: Oratorio "Haydn: The Creation" Anna Tomowa-Sintou (soprano), Peter Schreier (tenor), Jose Van Damme (bus) Mid-day break 24th = Verdi: Requiem Mirella Freni (soprano), Agnes Baltsa (alto), Luis Lima (tenor), Nicolai Ghiaurov (bass) 25th = Mozart: Requiem in D minor, K.626 / Bruckner: Te Deum Anna Tomowa-Sintou (soprano), Luza Baldani (alto), Peter Schreier (tenor), Jose van Dam (bus) 26th = Verdi: Requiem (Solist is the same as 24th) In addition to the lineup of famous songs with chorus, Mahler's Symphony No. 6, which was a hot topic when the record was released the previous year, was a "heavyweight" programming with many things to listen to.

Bruckner's Te Deum takes you the highest realm of the heavenly music. There are divine things more beautiful than words can tell."

Una obra del todo angélica, en el sentido estricto del término. El Coral es "sacred music" y Karajan es majestuoso. ¿Y qué decir del escenario? Pero eso no es todo. La traducción al latín intenta no sólo respetar la magnifiscencia del idioma, sino es un homenaje a la verdadera inteligencia humana. ¡Nos felicitemos todos!

This should be made Europe's anthem

A truly great piece of choral music.

Absolutely phenomenal performance by Karajan and these forces. Wow!

Incredible masterpiece. Wonderful is such a pale word to describe it...

Che dire? Siamo all'alfa e omega dell'interpretazione. HvK e i WPh stupefacenti more solito. I solisti dei fuoriclasse.Non avevo maicascoltato Rendall,tenore superlativo potente limpido e chiarissimo. La musica di Bruchner mi fa venire parossismi di tachicardia e dispnea per l'alternarsi dei fortissimi tutti e piano pianissimo talora con sordina per non parlare degli inconsapevoli,forse,sguardi ai confini della atonalita'.

Herbert von Karajan Means "GREATNESS"..

"Te Deum" ---"In Your Hands , O, Lord........" Bruckner,Bruckner, may Your Soul Rest In Peace! what am i speaking? Your Soul is LIVING !!! AND WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!!! YOU ARE ALIVE! Te Deum ... ....

This is the first performance of this that I've been able to get though to the end. Great musicians and conductors make an immeasurable difference in people's appreciation for the arts. An ex-girlfriend of mine was dying to hear what all the fuss over Ein Deutsches Requiem was about, so I ran out and bought her a recording of it of her own, but she told me it was the most boring thing that she'd ever had to listen to in her life. Well, I put that recording in the trash where it belonged, and gave her my own copy of Karajan's performance. Suffice it to say, that was enough to make her a Brahmsian for life.

Bruckner's choral works are so much more satisfying.

Infinita Beleza, Infinita Misericórdia

Questa interpretazione mi fa venire i brividi. Bruckner e von Karajan, vera magia.

Amazing music. Crazy good soloists!

This is absurdly powerful. I can't think of anything in life that this would fit as a soundtrack, unless it involved birth or death.

José Antoni brukner está grabación 19978 herbert von karajan sinfonía 9 de brukner Filarmónica de Viena muy buena i máx el tedeoun con grandes coro y solista fantástico está en primero en lazer disc resistiendo en dvd dorchegramofo pact 2 disco con sustitulo en ESPAÑOL latín inglés alemán tamien está la sinfonía 8 de brukner en san florian estupendo José Andrés Maza la recomendó

thank you dear diesillamusicae. It's fantastic ~

Utterly brilliant....the mono sound does not ruin this Thank God for this

God's musician.

すごいの一言。改めてカラヤンに敬服する。

The beloved Anton Bruckner is the master of all masters.

Obra magistral. Inolvidable.

Per uno dei capolavori più grandi della Musica ci voleva una interpretazione meravigliosa e coinvolgente come questa... Karajan una garanzia, ma fantastici anche i solisti, con un Rendall davvero ispirato ed espressivo...

Te Deum laudamus te dominum confitemur te eternum patrem omnis terra veneratur. God have mercy on me especially my sisters in heart since i love them protect them from the great tribulation that is to come

26:00 It’s like a rock concert!

Bruckner and Karajan - two worlds.

A precursor to minimalism!! Carl orff must have been influenced by this..

Grandioso!!!!!!!🌿

It's fascinating to see Von Karajan conduct without closing eyes like a zombie, he is really enjoying this music and he looks really happy !

Сейчас разучивая это произведение,нашла запись с Гербертом фон Караяном. Это шедевр великого композитора,как в исполнительстве,так и в написании музыки. Только услышав,в таком исполнении,можно понять весь размах и талант композитора и гениального дирижёра! 2.10.2024г впервые у нас в Ростовском музыкальном театре будет звучать эту симфонию под руководством Михаила Григорьевича Грановского!!!

Bruckner is so underrated.

This is the first time where I practically have to turn the sound way down. Something about the recording level?....Thank You!....

Apoteósicamente excitante. Se considera como el 4to movimiento de la Sinfonía 9 de él mismo.

too bad about the audio

Usually, Herbert von Karajan ,he closed his eyes. But in this recording, he opened his eyes all times. As if he "play" with the orchestra and chorus.

Σέ εσένα ΘΕΕ μου.

I don't know why but I always feel like crying whenever a man's voice soars like at 8:28. Even if what they're singing is happy or reverent, it's a tone that still sounds somewhat anguished and pained and it hits me right in the heart.

A most simple way to learn Latin and translated languages like Chinese based on Herbert von Karajan conducts Bruckner’s Te Deum. That is because our eyeball moves faster from left to right （or right to left) than up to down. 最簡單的學習拉丁語和中文方法，或者其他國的翻譯語言，基於赫伯特·馮·卡拉揚指揮布魯克納的《感恩頌歌》。 這是因為我們的眼球從左到右（或者右到左）移動的速度比從上到下移動的速度更快。

Simplesmente MARAVILHISO...EXPLENDIDOOOOO👏🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏

Maravilhoso, Divino, obrigado!

Go Karajan! What a splendid opening.

The sound is fine on the video (recommended), great performance!

I don't really like Karajan's Bruckner - but the Te Deum is one of his best interpretations!

シントウ、バルツァ、ファンダムって、カラヤンのオールスターキャストじゃん。

Wunderbar!

Traumhafte Darbietung. Wunderschöner Tenor 😊 Deo Gratias

The best te deum

Detalhe.... sem libreto. Realmente o maestro Karajan primava por suas apresentações.

Karajan dirige.... Qué esperaban

I'd rather rendition with Janet Perry, Helga Muller-Molinari, Gösta Winbergh and Alexander Malta, same orchestra and same conductor... :S

Unbelievable.....

Jack Woltz conducting. 😉

The chorus sopranos are excruciating.

Awesome

it is really very important and interesting for the fans to have a complete description and the lyrics of the mass is superb -for this reason i ws so interested in your channel that i subscribed - good luck. regards from brazil.

This is the first large choral work I sang as a member of the newly formed RTÉ Philharmonic Choir in Dublin in the early 1980s. I was winging it as a new member, a credible tenor but couldn't sight read for toffee!! But I got there. Haven't listened to this piece in decades and forget about those very long, sustained noted the choir have towards the end and all at the top of their range, sheer cruelty, but what a piece!!

Beautifully awesome

Amen!

Great lover of Bruckner, I. yet I only find sections of the Te Deum inspiring...all the martial staccato sycopated tuttis tax me.

7:07 - 8:07 that full blown fff-burst of music never fails to give me goosebumps! how celestial and glorious! Beyond any comparison!

muy bueno,un 7

Great performance but really poor audio quality :-(

Thanks so much for this; for the truly helpful information and timing...that's truly appreciated by many...at least I would think so...Thank You!...

Muito bela essa obra musical (um monumento musical).

One word - Godly!

Bruckner, une fois de plus, relie ciel et terre.

The power of Karajan and the power of Bruckner’s music at one

Brano di grande forza espressiva

bravo

🍀💙😔🌸

Magnifico. Però, in materia di melodia e di geniale sorpresa, Mozart e Verdi hanno mangiato tutto....

Great performance of the very catholic Bruckner. Choir sings the Latin text by memory, admirable! Karajan seems to favor the left side of his profile so the violins are hardly shown. The camera also focuses exclusively on the women, as though the music was written for women choir.

Schlimm!

Audio is terrible, and Karajan's job on Te Deum is way worse than those of Jochum and Celibidache.

So expressiv. So gnadenlos rein. So wahrhaftig. Purer Sound. Purer Ausdruck. Pure Musik. Karajan - Diener der Musik.

Karajan forever!!
