Karajan conducts Beethoven 5th Symphony 

There is only one conductor for this masterpiece. There is only one orchestra to perform it. That’s called PERFECTION.

This is so good that no other conductors in many generations to come can surpass Karajan not only because of his impeccable technique but also because of that genius is genius therefore they can't be replaced.

The best composer of all time, the best conductor of all time, the best symphony ....absolute bliss!

Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic were born to produce the sound that Ludwig heard in his deafness.

Maybe sounds silly, but even if you mute it, Karajan's body language is a master piece musical itself.

Karajan is immortal! The very superb icon of conducting!

These are gems. Never lose these. I have studied these for years. As a classical bassist, I have respect for the Berliner Philharmoniker

Definitely it's one of the best videos on RU-vid

This is like witnessing the first second of the Big Bang in person.

It's like he is conducting a battle!

Thank you so much: one of the greatest performances of all times.

Beethoven + Karajan + Berlin Philharmonic = German Perfection

I. Allegro con brio 0:40 II. Andante con moto 7:55 III. Scherzo: Allegro 17:34 IV. Allegro 22:16

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! 😿

Dear Mr Liang, thank you, for sharing this magnificent film! I simply can't find the precise word to describe how much I enjoyed it. To say I love it would be to say the very least !

Imposible superar esta dirección de Karajan. Creo que la aplaudiría Beethoven de estar vivo y oyendo.

The Master at work.

Beethoven's 5th is also called: This is how destiny (fate) knocks on your door. A sublime Masterpiece!

Beautifully performed, beautifully conducted, beautifully filmed!!

El mejor músico de la historia de la humanidad dirigido por el magno Herbert Von Karajan jamás se ha escuchado una música que exalta al alma

Dios!! Ya 250 años de este majestuoso gigante y de las manos de Karajan una locura, saludos desde México

Remark on the wonderful timpanist.... see how he plays in a fully German military style... as I recall when I saw the BPO in the early 70's the timpanist played exactly like this. He played so loudly in the storm in the pastoral symphony that the Times newspaper of London wrote a front page article on him.

Karajan AMAZING!!!!

la conducción de kalajan es divino, exquisito, inigualable como se le extraña.

Finally!!! I'm so grateful for this video

Ah, the 'old' Berlin Philharmonic... though today they are great, they do not sound as good as this. It was from here until the middle/late 1970's when they were at their greatest. I heard them live in the 70's and I will not forget it, ever. At least in this film we get to see the players... in later times, in these films, we only ever got to see Karajan, and nothing of the players... most of these guys had probably played for Furtwangler. Thank you so much for posting.

This is a tremendous achievement. Note that the dates of the Clouzot-Karajan project were 1965-67 and this one was filmed in '66. I have been enjoying the 1963 Karajan BPO Beethoven symphony recordings but the 5th simply doesn't share the same masterful intensity found here. Still, for sheer brilliant nuance, the Kleiber 5th reigns supreme in my heart, although for dramatic power on the podium, no one, not even Bernstein tops von K. (A chacun etc.)

Great conductor in the world

Los cellos están en dos disposiciones diversas. Escalados y en una fila.. depende la cámara.. bello

Thank you Will. Thank you very much.

Saludos y felicitaciones desde Lima (ju17/VI/2021)-Perú-América.

Nos estamos ouvindo a pg mais linda da musica classica composta pelo seu maior genio, nao tenho a menor duvida,sem desrespeitar os demais compositores!

Gracias a quien puso esta pieza, gracias al autor (el sordo alemán) y gracias a los músicos y a Karajan. Gracias de todo corazón.

Magnificat Karajan.. 💖💖💖🙏👍😍

Karajan Fantastic Virtuoso 👍Beethoven 4Ever

Karajan inmortal!!

Un son un peu étroit, et quelques distorsions aux cuivres et au bois, mais cela doit tenir aux différents transferts. Pour le reste , sublime, pas d'autre mot. On dira ce que l'on veut de Karajan, de sa mégalomanie, de son égotisme, de son culte de la personnalité, de son star système, même de sa coiffure autant en emporte le vent, et de sa direction "en aveugle", on dira tout ce qu'on voudra, le voir diriger est toujours une expérience enivrante: cette manière qu'il avait d'extraire le son de la terre, comme de la matière qu'il extirpait , prenait à bras le corps, de ses grands gestes amples, pétrissait de ses mains, portait au ciel, comme s'il était maître d'une éruption volcanique ! Grand merci pour le partage.

Excelente vídeo de un genio de la música ...

simply fabulous

to organize such flawless sound requires preparation and passion, incredible attention to detail. but that is just an expressive way to say, gj.

マジで素晴らしい！これは貴重！

I grew up watching Karajan. His executions are personally irreplaceable. The sound of the orchestra, of the Berlin Philharmonic, has not been until now that I write similar. Because he was unique in what he did. From the direction of the presence to the last sound from each family of musical instruments. At that time, women were not allowed in the orchestras or in this particular one due to the statute.

Herbert, the greatest! thanks to Clouzot!

30:24 Karajan was so so so so so excited!!!!!!!

Herbert von Karajan conduzido a Berliner Philharmoniker é um prazer estético que se inscreve entre os mais privilegiados! Herbert von Karajan vor den Berliner Philharmonikern ist ein ästhetisches Vergnügen, das eines der privilegiertesten ist! Herbert von Karajan in front of the Berliner Philharmoniker is an aesthetic pleasure that is one of the most privileged!

Wunderkinder Herbert Ritter Von "Wunder Karajan" 1908-1989 Niño prodigio del Piano Hombre prodigio del vuelo! Volaba como director de orquesta Dirigía la orquesta como volaba! Suave aterrizaje! Pensaba reencarnar en águila y volar sobre los Alpes Dicen que en una oportunidad Herbert von Karajan tomó un taxi y el conductor le preguntó "¿A dónde le llevo?". "A donde quiera, en todas partes quieren verme", respondió. www.karajan.co.uk/flying.html www.elmundo.com/portal/pagina.general.impresion.php?idx=82195

Glad the tempo isn't slow on this one. The rest play Beethoven like it's Bruckner. Just wrong!

I have seen once another performance with much the same musicians which was marvelous. It disappeared from you tube.

Karajan wasn't a German conductor....he had born at Saltsburg, Austria and the great-grandfather of his grandfather,George John Karajannis,was Greek ( born in Kozani). He took the title of "von ", in 1792.

Immortal Beloved Beethoven, 100% rocking Band…such power and feeling! and Karajan in the driving seat. … this old rocker bows to Genius! Thanks Will!!

Great Karajan.

Wooooh qué gran genio y qué hermosa orquesta!!!! 🥰😍

やっぱりカラヤンベルリンフィルはなんか凄みが違うなぁ、重厚感があってほんとに素晴らしい‼︎

THE BEST!!!

Camera man was a time traveller

베토벤... 클래식 음악을 가장 클래식답게 이룬 전인미답의 악성. 운명 교향곡... 클래식 음악을 모든 음악의 최고봉에 올려놓은 전대미문의 명작. 카라얀... 클래식 음악을 범접할 수 없는 경지로 세운 유일무이한 최상의 지휘자. (이것을 제공하신 분께 감사와 축복을~ )

Karajan has his eyes open for just 14 frames. This guy.

The best composer of all time.

Stunning 🎉

Exellent,thanks a lot.

7:58 2nd movement

DIVINAMENTE SOBERBO E ECANTADORAMENTE SUBLIME, É ESSE PRINCIPE, HERBERT VON KARAJAN!!... Destilando magia na Regência,ELE é único, imortal e eterno!!... Duque de Caxias--RJ Brasil 05/01/2021

Amazing🖤

凄い…ド迫力

Beethoven was virtually deaf when he composed this. and Karajan conducted it with his eyes closed..imagined the piece in his head..he said looking at the orchestra would have been distracting..I wonder if Beethoven would have composed any differently if his hearing was intact..

Next to Toscanini, Karajan is the greatest of our time. By the way, I'm 76, so I got to enjoy both.

2024 and still a masterpiece 👌

Estuve buscándote por mucho y me apareces por recomendación de arte conciert. Maravilloso y solo tengo 15 años de edad para decidirme por el piano o violín. Son más que estremecedores la chispa del alma.

Karajan il più grande!

UNA MARAVILLA

This video I couldn’t find for a few years so I had to pirate this, but hey it’s back!

Wow! 8 Hörner! Das hat schon was, obschon das eher eine Bruckner-Besetzung wäre!

Bravo !

Sin palabras...

WOW !!!

It is a art? It is a philosophy? It is a Idea? It is a spirtual world? Or all of the total of the fate? It is a deepest profound inner world. and going into God in himility.

He plorat un altre cop! (I cried again!)

THE BEST, KARAJAN

La perfezzione assoluta... Non più orchestre del genere e un direttore che ammiro e stimo, per la bravura e la perfezzione sia musicale che dirigenziale....

Ok, $50,000 question. One of the double-bass players (you can see him around 1:50 in the video) looks very young. Anyone know if he's still playing today? Who was the youngest musician (of any instrument) to play with the Berlin Philharmonic?

It is such a uniquely powerful performance, as if capturing that the composer was an emotional, angry, deaf artist, desperate to get his talent registered for posterity. Unfortunately, for me, having grown up listening to only this version for ten years in the 1980s, I cannot warm to any performance currently offered. None capture the sheer weight, the colossal gravitas of this conductor, this orchestra, this performance, where every note is given a reverence.

Karajan Sugoi !!!!!!

Who's that musician (violinist) next to Michel Schwalbe??

Intemporal, magnífico....

Assisti hoje mais uma vez! Espetáculo.

¡Perfecto!

Grandiose..

Beethovens 5 Symphonie in c moll sehr gut eingespielt von den berliner Philharmonikern mit karajan mit vollem Orchester so klingt beethoven

this is as well as i've heard the Berlin Phil -- or for that matter any orchestra -- ever play.

Please karajan 9 .. 1968 ? 720p

Does anyone knows when this was filmed? This is maybe the best edition of Beethoven's 5th symphony I've ever heard!

Berlin Philharmonic is so ready for this maximum level of performance, that is why.

Es la filarmónica de Viena, no la filarmónica de Berlín. edit: my bad.

Beethoven, quinta sinfonia, primo movimento: quattro note; Bach, toccata e fuga in re minore: tre note. Qualcuno dice che il destino bussa alla porta ( quinta sinf.). Può essere! Ma alla porta del mondo bussano due geni assoluti che non hanno bisogno di tanti preamboli per annunciarsi.

Soberbo!!!

Mitten im Satz zwei Werbeeinschaltungen, hat's euch?

💖

Unique per omnia saecula saeculorum... et irrecommençable (par lui ou un autre)

Perfeito!

Da standen wir mal.
