Herbert von Karajan - Beethoven's 9th Symphony - Rehearsal 30.12.1977 

I remember watching this as a kid in Greece. Our parents, who knew what was good for us, told us to stay up late and watch it and skip school the following day.

Greatest haircut of all time XD

I saw the performance live on TV in Iran when I was 15 years old.

That guy was such a rock star!

He is simply the BEST!

Herbert von Ksrajan. Held der Klänge und der Vielfältigkeit. Jede Zeit hat ihre Stars und Persönlichkeiten. Er bleibt bis in alle Ewigkeit unvergessen.

Great stuff. Gets his points across so efficiently and authoritatively, but always polite.

I was amazed by his conducting movements like a swan or a butterfly! Completely fascinated by his graceful posture and movement. 😊🤍 He is a Godsend! Just Unspeakably and Stunningly Beautiful. 😘It was so wonderful that I was moved to tears! 😿

Best Beethoven symphony cycle of all time 1963, Remastered. 2014.

"..our torn world needs these few moments of togetherness.." #joyeuxnoel

Genuine! I'm in love with him.

Magician!

I feel his spiritual energy for the melodies belongs in no self🙏🏻, Karajan .

We look at this rehearsal and see how this Berlin Philharmonie Hall has a good acoustic separation of each instrument section.

Thank you for posting this gem! Karajan makes my day any day!

Es una maravilla ver al gran Karajan en documentales como este!

Very interesting excerpt from the archive showing the time when the technologies now so commonplace are still breakthrough technologies just starting to be implemented on a large-scale event, with Karajan, the forward-thinking technology-loving visionary he is, of course involved.

Simplemente GENIAL 💙🎶💙!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maestro.

Karajan!

My father always drived Porsche, with he won the Italian championship and like von Karajan he was a charismatic, style icon and dreamed to rencanate in a eagle to fly ove his beloved dolomites ❤

Regência com o corpo e a alma. Eternizou seu estilo e devoção à música clássica. Muita energia de amor express em cada nota.💚💛💙🍃🇧🇷🍃🇧🇷🇧🇷🍃🍃

Ouvíamos com emoção concertos do Karajan !🌹🌴🌹 Vertiam Paz e Harmonia ! Família unida . Saudades de época em que não há retorno , pois músicas de hoje são as que ouvíamos no passado . É uma bênção este Maestro e sua Orquestra ! São Paulo, 09-08-2022- Brasil, Patria Amada Azul e Branca🌹🌲🏡🌹

The best

Dear Team on this Platform: There was a wonderful scene about Beethoven`s 9th choir rehearsal. Herr von Karajan led the choir ton the true spirit about `Freude`, letting them increase this word at least three times... and then `F-r-o-i-d-e` was present ! I am crying so often, that this wonderful as deeply honest video was taken from `what platform ever... ` I do not remember that. In case, it is possible for you, to catch this momentum somewhere - I would love to see it again. Thank so much for this collection here. Good luck and success !

Great 👋

He was the best conductor for the 9th.

Unique...❤

He had moves like Jagger

Wenn der Maestro wüsste, wie zerrissen die Welt erst heute ist

Vielen Dank. Schön, den Humphrey Burton zu hören

We will never his likes again.

maravilloso recordarlo

karajan is the king of them all the mighty karajan

the meme with the cat bobbing its head would be perfect for the second movement

The Greek spirit was alive in him! Herbert von Karajan (Καραγιάννης) was part-Greek, in particular from Macedonia, the same Greek region as Aristotle and Alexander the Great. Καλό Παράδεισο Herbert!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

Dieses Konzert läuft bei uns jedes Jahr (nicht nur) zur Weihnachtszeit! Eine wahre Erfüllung! Gibt es einen Clip mit allen Probemitschnitten (inkl. Chor und Solisten auch fernab der bekannten Dokumentationen?)

THE BEST OR NOTHING!

That music in 0:29 is also in Wiener Philharmoniker's Neujahrkonzert, lol. Just wondering: is that just a Eurovision thing, or an actual concert piece?

Beethoven sounds better with karajan conducting ❤

Cool !

I think it's Karajan's recording of the 9th on Deutsch Gramophone that Kubrick used in the Soundtrack of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

What part of the ninth symphony is actually being played here? Thanks in advance for any replies!

Can someone tell me the what’s the music at the beginning？

Anyone know the music at 0:32?

0:29 まずはORFのテーマから！ オーストリア放送協会のテーマはウィーン・フィルのニューイヤーコンサートで馴染みのテーマ!! でも電子楽器によるテーマは新鮮だなあ。 クナッパーツブッシュの時代の厳めしい響きから最近は古楽全盛の軽やかで華やかな雰囲気に変わったねぇ。 タン、タッタッタッカーターンターン!! オーストリア放送協会のテーマですら時代を映すね!!! 面白い!!

Dieser Man war Gott!

@4:40 Hier sieht man klar, dass die Hamburger mit der Elbphilharmonie überhaupt NICHTS neues erfunden haben!

0:29 Name of the piece?

Windows XP music done right.

クラシック音楽の普遍化を達成した偉大なカラヤン

Did this heal the wounds of divided east and west Germany 🇩🇪 in 1977 ?

ein Angesssssstochen sein werden

..moar bitte

Man beachte den Taktstockträger ab Minute 1:00

licently orchestra cannot play powerful sound like karajan.

🐴

ベルリンでも、第9は年末にやってるのか。日本と同じだな。😀

3:45 - hätte nicht gedacht, dass dieses Orchester so undiszipliniert beim Chef war.

His image was carefully created. Taken on its own, his music making may not be as great as one thinks, since his image and personality is a huge part of it. Take that away and everything is a bit mushy, with the corners rounded off. He wanted a certain sound- lush and beautiful, but some excitement is lost. There are times when the music calls for ugly sounds or a different atmosphere. That's why his name is bigger than the composers on his album covers!

Y EL RITORNELLO??? BEETHOVEN LO PIDE... VIVA LEONARD BERCHSTEIN

While I’m not saying that Bernstein is bad, Celibidache is much superior !!

Viva Celibidache , the founder of BPO .

Völlig überbesetzt in den Streichern für Beethoven. Was zähle ich da? 10 Kontrabässe? 12 Celli? So besetzt kann man Schostakowitsch spielen, aber doch nicht Beethoven.
