Kleiber was a perfectionist of total absorption in the music being played. His gesture and movements were so reminiscent of the moods in the music. On this occasion don’t you see him dance along with the music?
Most of the time Carlos delivered the optimum of the piece he just conducted and this time is not different. I espcially noticed his agogic variant in the main theme when he is not forced by the anvil to keep the tempo. Then there´s his caring attention for accompanying voices. And finally this is one of rare performances where the anvil doesn´t dominate the whole sound.
This is adorable! It is possible to really study Kleiber's technique in a concentrated way watching him conduct these Strauss pieces; they are compact and run the gamut of emotions and a lot of sustained pacing I never really heard them until Carlos!
The cadence Carlos Kleiber gives to this piece is outstanding, almost getting the entire orchestra to a standstill. Just superb, if you'd play music, you'd understand what I am talking about. If you want to see funnier, you should watch the circus.
Questi sono i grandi maestri, caro Saro. Io ho fatto ciò che ho fatto per 18 anni di cui 3 a Ragusa e 15 a Trecastagni solo per gli studi con M* Mimmo Sambataro , poi con il corpo musicale e M* Romeo assieme a a tuo fratello Tommaso e con tuo padre il quale un certo anno mi ha voluto con il suo gruppo musicale per suonare nelle famiglie ove nei loro salotti avevano preparato particolari presepi, erano circa 50 e la sera rientreremo molto tardi. Ricordo che avevo 17 anni. Ma il mio grande maestro si chiamava e si chiama PASSIONE. Vedi la mia poesia dal mio libretto : MUSICA E SOLITUDINE . Il libretto l'ho titolato VERSI DI VITA ED ARMONIE DI PENSIERI. Tu hai letto e asoltato qualcosa ,?
