Wow. Total perfection. Incredible. How lucky we are to have these recordings from another era. These Russians are superbly gifted musical supermen. Penultimate.
Esta grabación, que reúne a cuatro monstruos, fue hecha hace 50 años. Es probable que vivan aún algunos de los miembros más jóvenes de la orquesta. Han pasado 250 años desde que Beethoven nació y 193 desde su muerte. Solo aproximadamente se puede saber cómo sonaban las orquestas en vida de Ludwig van, pero, hoy, la tecnología nos entrega una especie de compresión del tiempo y podemos recibir la comunicación de la belleza, de la pasión, del sentimiento que envuelven obras maestras de la Gran Música, como es este triple. Los confinamientos de la pandemia COVID-19 extienden el tiempo y producen, para muchos, unos días que no se diferencian o se diferencian poco. Esta música y las de otros grandes nos ayudan a sobrellevar la vida amenazada y confinada y mantienen nuestra esperanza de ver la luz al final del túnel.
I saw live Isaac Stern, Leonard Rose, and Eugene Istomin do the Triple, Stern and Rose the Brahms Double, and Stern do either the Beethoven or the Brahms violin Conceto. This was in 1979 for Beethoven’s 200th birthday. After the concert there was a big birthday cake with Ray Bradbury leading everyone in singing Happy Birthday. This didn’t take place on Dec 16, 1970, but around that time.
Well it’s a good thing Rostropovich and Jascha Heifetz never performed together (if timing and age would have even allowed for that), the universe would have exploded and we wouldn’t even exist anymore. The cosmos would have crumbled
even the simple fact that Richter didn't like Karajan' s conduct and performance towards them 3 there, for me is absolutely enough not to prefer his version. i respect too much the heavenly 3 not to agree with them.and anyone who would hurt them is not dignified. that meant he put his arrogance beyond music and their immeasurable talent. a Russian team for Beethoven is wonderful indeed.
@@user-mz2dk4dz5p Oistrakh & Richter were born in Ukraine & Rostropovich in Azerbajan. All those states were Russian when they were educated & playing.
Many, many thanks! I don't know a better performance of this concert. Definitely, Karajan is a conductor worse than Kondrashin and Sanderling. Just like the performance of the fantasy in C minor, Op. 80 (Richter, Sanderling), this performance (imho) reflects the Bethoven's ideas best: awakening the spirit, acting for a common goal (good of all people). It is no coincidence that both performances were made in the Soviet Union in 50 and 60.
Karajan was the double Nazi. Bouth, in Germany an in Austria. Rostopovich, Oistrach and Richter will never be forgotten. The would have killed Oistrach...
@@84kaptur Thanks. And thanks for this upload. I find it so much more moving than the same trio playing with Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker in a studio recording made three years earlier.
Wonderful, thank you! This is a great concert performance , but for me it lacks the refinement of their recording with Karajan, which I consider to be an absolute reference.
