LvB Egmont 

Finally a conductor who actually follows Beethoven's Metronome markings. Spectacular

One of the most succinctly powerful and indeed, perfect pieces of music ever written! I love this version - then again, it is Karajan!

The size of the orchestra (brass especially) gives it an Orffian sound in the ff blasts, had never seen beethoven like this

You know....I asked a musician friend how they got through the REALLY INTENSE portions. Watch Karajan just before the finial WINDUP and APPOTHESIS. He closes his eyes and goes into AUTO PILOT . I would not be able to function in such an intense atmosphere of BLISS and JOY.......he does.

One of the best versions, especially the intro !

Remarcable interpretation, best ever for me... thanks 4 up.

Goosebumps! This video is excellent quality - it should have much more views. Thank you for posting.

Saludos y felicitaciones desde Lima (vi18/VI/2021)-Perú-América.

Karajan, the best ever.

Az 1956-os magyar forradalom zenéje lett. Gyönyörű, szomorú dallam.

Bella composición musical, Magisterial Dirección; ya sin dimensión.

7:32 my fav part where the cellos play the 6 bar ostinato part of the finale of the overture egmont piece.❤️❤️❤️

Beethoven, Von Karajan, Berlin Philarmonic: Germans doing what they do better than anybody.

и если бы не гений Караяна, так бы и остался мне неведом бетховенский Эгмонт...

La Excelencia.

I am crying.

Never mind. Grandson got me Ad Block

Karajan le ha puesto letra a Beethoven, tal como destilan las imágenes de la grabación, que lleva el inequívoco sello Karajan, y la letra es: "Prietas las filas, / recias, marciales, / nuestra escuadras van / cara al mañana / que nos promete / Patria, Justicia y Pan".

Beethoven Egmont Overture Op.84 Hebert von Karajan Berliner philharmoniker Orchestra 1985

Probably the most "on the edge" performance of Egmont ever recorded. This huge orchestra teeters on the edge of control, with an intense, barely constrained delivery. Some may feel this performance is over the top and too much - but you can't argue with its virtuosity and emotional impact. Not for the faint of heart (or ear). Go Beethoven!

Muy bueno.

love the music, but come on, adverts in the middle.

Playback?
