It was the last concert of my mother singin in the chorus of vienna state opera. She died three monts later. Every time I see it my heart hurts and my eyes are full of tears.
keep her in mind singing beautiful concerts singing and making music ist one of the best purpouses you can find in life greetings from Vienna, I performed the Requiem once in the Stephansdom with the choir of the university
@@nickidaisydandelion4044 Danke, zu ihrem Begräbnis. haben die engsten Kolleginnen und Kollegen nochmals einen Teil des Requiems gesungen. Ich war damals fast sechzehn Jahre alt.
Recorded in 1971. Nearly 50 years ago. And still one of the most outstanding performances ever recorded. Mozart and Bohm at their best. Always stunned by the perfect slow tempo. Around 5 minutes slower than a Karajan record, for instance. Sober, majestic, first class soloists. And...Bohm! A must!
Agreed, Bohm's rendition of the Requiem is the best I've ever heard. Especially the official recorded track, that is the absolute perfection of his tempo.
This is it. The one and only truly perfect recording. Everything fits like a stone in the Pyramids. It is so good that I bought the dvd of the recording. Heavenly.
J'ai écouté tant d'interprétations du Requiem de Mozart, cette version de Karl Bohm pour moi est de loin la meilleure. Toutes les émotions à ressentir sont au rdv à point nommé, dès l'entame de l'oeuvre. L' atmosphère est déjà évocatrice de ce qu'on s'apprête à vivre. Le chœur d'une profonde sérénité se distingue par sa parfaite dextérité musicale; Sa prouesse laisse sans voix. La soliste soprano principalement est d'une pureté vocale remarquable. Les autres solistes sont irréprochables. Cette version mérite tous les honneurs du monde entier et doit être recommandé.
I found this recording when I was undergoing cancer treatment three years ago and found great comfort and inspiration. I come back often to remember God's grace, mercy and healing. This recording is just sublime.
NA SAMYM KOŃCU - TEGO HISTORYCZNEGO, MODLITEWNEGO, DUCHOWEGO, WZRUSZAJĄCEGO - NAGRANIA POJAWIA SIĘ ROK: 1971 !!!!!!!! Teraz jest 2O23. Mija więc ponad pół wieku, a daej czuje się ducha: piękna, pracowitości, sumienności, dobrego przygotowania całej orkiestry, chóru i dyrygenta. Brawo! Pewnie tam, w Niebie, Oni dalej grają i śpiewają już bezpośrednio przed samym Bogiem i aniołami
My father used to listen to this after a few glasses of wine or scotch. He would lay under the dining room table because he said the acoustics were better under there. He would ask me to listen to it with him, and regretfully I always said no. The anniversary of his passing is coming up, and I have a tradition for that night. I smoke a joint and lay down and listen to this every year at the time I watched him take his last breath. Wish I would've done it when he was here.
Ecoutez, s'il vous plaît, la version qui me semble la meilleure du Requiem celle de l' Orchestre National de France, chef d'orchestre James Gaffigan. Vous m'en direz des nouvelles.
THIS is my favorite version ever! So slow and sumptuous. It wasn't until I heard this version that I realized so many others have practically raced through it. It's both "masterpiece" and "master peace."🙏🌹❤
Dear Helmut,Greetings from Chicago where I sang this beautiful work by Mozart several times with the Apollo Chorus. Now because of medical problems, I cannot sing anymore but I am waiting for heaven where all believers of Jesus will sing again,forever and forever. Keep that in your thoughts whenever you hear this and you will see your Mother in your minds eye,doing what she loved to do!!!!❤🎵🎵🎶🇱🇷
As good as this one is, this particular one by Helmuth Rilling is the best I've found: ruclips.net/video/JnCH-4CrJNI/видео.html I hope it suits your tastes, as well!
the most grandiose music ever composed in history. heavenly sacred sounds Brilliant orchestra-the best, chorus, great soloists, Karl Bohm is unsurpassed. powerful music needed in times like now of Covid-19 hanging over. thank you for posting It is so tremendous the cathedral acoustic can’t cope with it,
When it comes to the authoritative interpretation of Mozart's REQUIEM, I don't think any other prominent conductors of his time, including Karajan could even go near Karl Bohm. Bohm's REQUIEM is full of DRAMA, FORCE, URGENCY, and above all, SOLEMNITY. I think if Mozart was alive to see Karl Bohms performance he would have approved it with thumb ups. Karl Bohm is a great conductor of the 20th Century, he understood Mozart's score than any other competing conductors of his time. He is fondly remembered.
This is my favourite version. This is heavy metal. But thinking about Mozart´s taste, don't you think he would find this version too slow and dark? By far this is the most dramatic rendition I ve ever found.
@@dvnaencarnacion I dont think "slow" always means dramatic and dark.... I just prefer the faster version, because its offer a tense feeling when the soul are pulled of from the body.
When I was studying music at BYU-Idaho, my lessons teacher wanted me to listen and read score for my two hours of daily practice. I played the trumpet back in the day (and I still have it, but it's been put away for 4 years). I went to the University library and checked out Mozart's Requiem, for both CD and the score book. And when I took it home, I put it into my CD player and while I was reading the score, I felt like I was listening to a heavenly chorus. It was like I had tasted the most delicious peach from the tree - the music was that good.
It is worth living to be able to hear this huge masterpiece with such an excellent Orchestra, the conductor, Maestro Bohm , the choir and the great soloists. Thank God we can listen to this beauty for Easter.
Watching and listening to this particular performance reaffirms the reputation that Karl Bohm was especially gifted in interpreting Mozart. I must say this version is superior to most of other ones I've listened to before. Great piece of work!
it's defenitely the pacing and accents in the precise moments, he speeds up some parts, and slows down others quite noticeably... It makes recall Claudio Arrau interpretations, such passionate people
I first heard Mozart's Requiem while watching the movie Amadeus (1984) when I was a teenager and later went searching for it. Accidentally came upon Karl Bohm's official recording of it and fell in love with his rendition right then and there. Amazing how I somehow felt that this was the right tempo and performance
Magnifique que de redonner Vie à Mozart ! 🙏🌞 La performance, l'engagement et l'émotion...Tout est bien là ! 🌟 Tout est dît !!! Karl Boehm et Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ici ensemble pour ne faire qu'un, l'unique, à tout jamais, Rien que pour nous !!! 🌈 Quelle belle offrande à chacun de nous ❤
This is divine music. Absolutely sublime! It feels like I'm venturing through space and time listening to transcendent angels weeping this prophetic music with such passion. Mozart was and is still today the best thing that ever happened to the world of music. If he had lived a little longer, God knows how much more he could've given to us. He was a prophet of divine music.
He couldn't have lived longer after delivering us this requiem . Cannot be that a human mind could compose such perfection. I strongly believe that while dying in his bed , he was receiving the notes and the arrangements from above . This is DIVINE !
Hace ocho meses que oí este Réquiem y ya entonces comenté la importancia de Karl Böhm en la conducción de la Filarmónica de Viena. Hoy solo puedo decir,que esté Réquiem es imposible describirlo con palabras.Es tan bello que solo queda agradecer a todos los que hacen posible,que podamos verlo.Gracias de corazón.

This has been one of my favorite pieces of music ever since I discovered it over 35 years ago. Now, I believe I've found my favorite version. At first, I thought I was having technical difficulties with my phone because of the slow pace. Then, I realized the pace was intentional. These folks wrung out every sumptuous note for all they were, and are, worth. This is simply brilliant. How wonderful to discover this (all over again) in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic❤🙏
This is music. Real music. It's absolutely sublime! I've listened to this probably a million times and it still gets me every time. Mozart was truly a prophetic musician who gave the world the most sensual and divine piece of music ever written. There's so much power in every note and every measure. RIP god of true music and thank you for blessing us with such a masterpiece.
Masterpiece! Probably the first classical music tape I bought when I was so young that I can't remember when... As a choral bass singer, just hoping to sing it one day, at least once in my lifetime
So beautiful it reaches deep down into my soul. I have heard this live 4 times in my life but never experienced it as beautiful as this. Perfect! Great job !So much pure talent not computer altered junk, just pure talent. Most people today do not realize how much Mozart's music is still all around us like most of the music in the bug's bunny cartoons is Mozart and I heard a little of the requiem on a car commercial the other day. Timeless music for sure!
Reguiem Mozart - шедевр, уходящий в вечность, великое произведение мировой музыки. Исполнение его требует так много от дирижера, хора, оркестра, солистов, что хочется только восхищаться и благодарить. Видео помогает ощутить эффект соприсутствия в храме во время исполнения католической заупокойной мессы. Звучание хора мощное, переклички голосовых групп усиливают драматизм, эмоциональную напряженность, динамические контрасты яркие. Солисты звучат великолепно! Светлана Давыдова
Vous avez tout à fait raison Svetlana, tout ceci demande un talent immense et beaucoup de rigueur. Le Requiem de Mozart, THE masterpiece dans l'histoire de la musique, est exigeant, c'est l'interprétation que je préfère avec le chef d'orchestre Karl Bohm.... Dieu est grand !🙏💒🕊
This has to be the best version of the Requiem I have ever heard!!! This is my first time hearing about Karl Bohm and after looking him up it's a shame how few recordings he has done. Bohm has instantly become my favorite conductor
I think this is how Requiem is intended to be performed. The best version I have heard so far. Very balanced sound, right tempo, every note is heard, thanks to Karl Bohm. (I hate it when conductors use too much of pp and ff throughout this piece.) The chorus/orchestra are possibly the best in the world and it shows (sounds). To top it, the soloists are also great. The soprano (G. Janowitz) is exceptional here. Truly remarkable perfomance in all regards. Thanks for posting the full version!
Les mots que nous connaissons, les louanges, les compliments, les qualificatifs les plus forts et qui sont tous retranscrits dans ces commentaires dithyrambiques sont ils suffisants, sont ils assez justes pour célébrer autant de génie, un génie qui va bien au delà des mots. Mozart est hors de l'entendement, hors de nos propos, hors de notre appréhension du monde...Speechless, sans voix est sans doute le sentiment qui prédomine quand on est face à un tel monument de notre histoire ?! D'ailleurs, le silence juste après du Mozart est encore du Mozart ! Un cas unique, un être hors du temps et qui pourtant fait bien partie de notre humanité une et indivisible... Une musique divine qui nous rend tous si petits, si misérables, si médiocres quand nous voyons que sur cette même chaine le Gangnam style se taille des milliards de vues reflétant encore plus douloureusement et même tragiquement la médiocrité inhérente à notre époque où l'art est en train de disparaitre, de perdre la bataille et la quête du beau de la beauté être reléguée dans les profondeurs de l'oubli ?! Nous et notre civilisation avons tout simplement oublié que la beauté est une valeur absolue, intemporelle et universelle et Mozart est un cas d'école qui a vécu il n'y a pas si longtemps, c'est dire notre plongeon dans la médiocrité ?
I have listen to many versions of Mozart's Requiem such as Karajan/VPO, Shaw/Atlanta Symphony, Abbado/BPO, Davis/ BBC Symphony, Mariner/ASMF, Solti/VPO, etc. And in my honest opinion Bohm's recording here just completely blows them all in the water. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 sorry but Karajan + Wiener Ph. /Anna Tomowa Sintow still rules..just my opinion, here at 1.42 they 're breaking the rythm..no way...also 2.29...
C'est vraiment la meilleure interprétation du Requiem de Mozart que j'ai entendue, loin devant celle de Karajan beaucoup trop rapide (avec lui ce n'est plus un requiem mais une cavalcade); Le Tuba mirum est exeptionnel avec un florilège de solistes tout à fait remarquables (Water Berry impressionnant). Karl Bohm sert à la perfection le divin Mozart dans le bon tempo. C'est impresssionnant et inoubliable.
I have 17 versions of the Requiem, and this is my fauvorite, the most epic and majestic, and i like the slow tempo. The most spiritual is the Celibidache's version.
Hola... si gustas mándame un correo a iratzioe@yahoo.com... te comparto las versiones que tengo, que son 35... hay varias tan hermosas como ésta de Bohm!...
Thanks for posting this video. This is one of the best interpretations of his Requiem I've ever heard, and watching it being performed so well is simply thrilling. I felt chills at several especially evocative parts, which help appreciate the profundity of Mozart's gifts. This will be performed until the end of time, inspiring each generation with its supernatural grace and beauty.
I listened to this every night as I slept Sophomore year in college and then stopped. When I had my child in NM in 1998 they gave you a Mozart cd when you had a baby and a baby blanket. I had my children go to sleep to Mozart's requiem every night for their first 10 years of life. I am ignorant of music, but know I like a certain version of this. I just found this Karl Bohm on youtube and I recognize it to be the one we own; the cd case is long lost and cd is worn. Thank you for uploading so I can now see what I have listened to for so many years. All of the people who can sing like this, play music like this, direct this and Mozart for writing it are true angels to the world! It moves me to tears every time because it is beyond beautiful! Thank you!
Knock-out performance. And then some. Everyone at the top of their game here. Very moving. Simply fantastic singing by the chorus. • Wiener Symphoniker, Wiener Staatsopernchor, Karl Böhm (conductor) • soloists: Gundula Janowitz (soprano), Christa Ludwig (alto), Peter Schreier (tenor) ,Walter Berry (bass) • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart / Requiem in D minor K 626 • Recorded in 1971 in Vienna Thanks for uploading.
Gostei desta interpretação mais lenta e majestosa, muito linda sem ser pesada e maçante, com interpretes de primeira grandeza, tudo está maravilhoso, me prendeu ouvi-la! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Obrigado pela postagem!
Wow. Gotta appreciate music man. I really don’t understand people when they say they can’t stand this music. When they use the phrase “the art of music” I believe it should only be in reference to something like this.
the reason almost 2 million people have loved this performance is the outstanding performers one and all . Gundula Janowitz (Sopran), Christa Ludwig (Alt), Peter Schreier (Tenor), Walter Berry (Bass), Chor der Wiener Staatsoper und Wiener Symphoniker unter Karl Böhm. Wiener Phil at the Piaristenkirche, 1971-you will never see that cast again . Only the Best .oh to have been there .
The pace is slow but the effect is overwhelming. In some other conductor's hands this pace would simply be lugubrious. Bohm works magic and astounds the listener.
He did the same for Figaro. It's magical, like he's one of the few people to have ever truly understood Mozart's work and gives the right emphasis to every phrase. I imagine it's similar to looking into Mozart's head when he wrote the music and hearing what he wanted when composing... and every performance since he initially imagined it, even those conducted by himself, might not have gotten close to what he was thinking.
i played violin for 12 years. this piece is a complex one to play and put together. This is by far the best version of Mozart Requiem I've ever heard. It might have even brought Lazarus back from the dead.
Quisiera decir algo pero no puedo, no hay palabras para describir tanta belleza tanta excelsitud tanta perfección. Dios mío gracias a ti gracias a Mozart y gracias al maestro Karl Bohm.
This performance of Mozart's requiem is something more profound than merely beautiful. It is awe-inspiring, relentless, severe, austere, and spacious. Bohm has a dream vocal quartet, orchestra, chorus, and setting. There is an urgency to this interpretation that, to my ears, is missing on so many hurried, lighter performances. I have read many comments here, before writing my own; to say that the performance is "slow" is, to my ears, to miss the point of the cosmic drama being enacted. In this Mozart Requiem, there is no place to hide from the terror of death ; the gravity of the moment trumps mere beauty. There are other great Mozart Requiems; there is not one "only" performance of anything, at least to my ears. But I will be returning to this performance for an astringent reminder of human mortality.
How well you describe what I experience in listening to this performance; its austerity, its harshness almost, is quite unlike any other. It's nice to have someone put words to it.
Mozart was the greatest musical talent ..hands down.. His favorite was opera and the human voice and at 35 not many surpassed him in those genres..Handel was good and Puccini. But come on. Mozart was from a different universe.
This person's requiem can only be said to be splendid. It's as good as Karajan's requiem and I listen to it a lot. I will never forget the shock when I first heard it. Thank you for posting.
Indeed - and that includes the German dialect of Latin used in this performance, which is a little closer to the authentic classical Latin of Imperial Rome at her peak from two millennia ago than the Italian "Church" Latin that is used - most unfortunately!!!! - almost universally these days. [Why should singers have it as easy as possible in comparison to the instrumentalists??? Just because of words?!??] Yes, the slow tempi Karl Böhm uses here lend both profundity AND urgency as well as relentlessness of a sort impossible with faster performances. For once, a piece of conducting that really allows me to like this conductor (aside from Berg's "Wozzeck" and this, I really find him quite unexceptional and even irritating in Wagner and Richard Strauss) - well done!!!
First, the German pronunciation of the Latin (as opposed to the Italian "Church-Latin"); second, the performance-practice of that time (it's not tainted by the "historically-informed practice" which has in my opinion virtually KILLED so much of this repertoire in my eyes and taste thanks to its rigidity and bigotry against anything "extraneous" to then!!!).
V a l d e m a r q u i j a n o = Supremacist ... German yet? Although you display a Castilian name ... little wonder! Birds of a feather fly together, isn't it ?
Wow. 249 people have "thumbs downed" the single greatest musical composition to bless the ears, emotions and souls of mankind. 40 years after my Da asked me to listen to this, I still get chills every time I listen. I feel that the only piece close to this level of perfection is the opening Kyrie from his Great Mass in C minor.
Definitely the most emotional music ever, something not from this world, a message from the eternity. Only Bohm undertstood, what Mozart wanted to say.
Well I wouldn't exactly say only Bohm understood what Mozart wanted to say. That's a little over the top. This is my favorite recording of it. But lots of people know and love this Requiem that came straight from heaven. Not everyone has the ability or the experience nor the training nor the venue to conduct an orchestra to bring pass the interpretation you like.
Muito lindo. A senhora Gundula tem uma voz angelical, belíssima, maravilhosa, todos maravilhosos e mesmo com poucos recursos tecnologicos para época realizaram algo tão fascinante. Porque são brilhantes. Esse é o concerto que mais acho bonito, até hoje. Tão puro e natural.
The 'Requiem' is a captivating story about our mortality, the Christian epic theme. A divine composition so well performed, lyrical while so very precise in intonation. Conductor K. Bohm is superior guidance to the chorous and orchestra in the realization of Mozart's presentation is second to none. A superb performance yet sublimely delicate, precise, conveying what the composer intended.
Without a doubt, one of the most powerful classic recordings. It's up there with Colin Davis 1967 recording with the BBC ensemble. The experience of the Sanctus is undescribable. The sound of Heaven!!
It was the last concert of my mother singin in the chorus of vienna state opera. She died three monts later. Every time I see it my heart hurts and my eyes are full of tears.

La meilleure version du requiem qui ait jamais été enregistrée
Peut être mais je vous conseille la version de 1956 avec orgue. Elle est disponible chez PHILIPS. Böhm y est encore plus inspiré selon moi.
This has been one of my favorite pieces of music ever since I discovered it over 35 years ago. Now, I believe I've found my favorite version. At first, I thought I was having technical difficulties with my phone because of the slow pace. Then, I realized the pace was intentional. These folks wrung out every sumptuous note for all they were, and are, worth. This is simply brilliant. How wonderful to discover this (all over again) in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic❤🙏
@johann supper It's not a hoax. The conspiracy stuff is getting annoying.
@johann supper That is exactly how Christian conspiracy theories work. They repeat it until every follower believes it.
@johann supper No.
Упоминаниие об этом психозе COVID-19 здесь по моему неуместно.
@johann supper I don't lie.
Instant goosebumps!!! This Requiem makes the soul soar. I read once that Mozart wrote this for his own funeral...what a send off for such a genius.
This is music. Real music. It's absolutely sublime! I've listened to this probably a million times and it still gets me every time. Mozart was truly a prophetic musician who gave the world the most sensual and divine piece of music ever written. There's so much power in every note and every measure. RIP god of true music and thank you for blessing us with such a masterpiece.
❤🔥
Such joy to perform this with any choir which I have done and apreciate that.The memory will ialways be 😮there.😢😮
Thank you Mozart. Thank you Karl Bohm. Pretty grateful for this master piece! So heavenly!
The best Mozart Requiem, I have heard. Karl Bohm in his best performance.
素晴らしい演奏で冒頭から引き込まれました。私は50年前のこの頃､偶然ウィーンフィル ベーム指揮 このソリストたちのベストメンバーのコジ・ファン・トゥッテをザルツブルク祝祭大劇場で､偶然出会った小澤征爾・ベルリン・フィル土屋氏らの配慮で､舞台袖から拝聴の機を頂きました! 懐かしく感慨深く魂の演奏を拝聴しています。
なんと素晴らしい体験でしょう。これはベームの歴史的名演でレコードを持ってますが、舞台の袖でそんな秘められたエッピソードがあったとは驚きです。
Masterpiece! Probably the first classical music tape I bought when I was so young that I can't remember when... As a choral bass singer, just hoping to sing it one day, at least once in my lifetime
That soprano is incredible. So much power and control.
Gundula Janowitz
@@annalirycsoprano прекрасно великолепно
So beautiful it reaches deep down into my soul. I have heard this live 4 times in my life but never experienced it as beautiful as this. Perfect! Great job !So much pure talent not computer altered junk, just pure talent. Most people today do not realize how much Mozart's music is still all around us like most of the music in the bug's bunny cartoons is Mozart and I heard a little of the requiem on a car commercial the other day. Timeless music for sure!
Reguiem Mozart - шедевр, уходящий в вечность, великое произведение мировой музыки. Исполнение его требует так много от дирижера, хора, оркестра, солистов, что хочется только восхищаться и благодарить. Видео помогает ощутить эффект соприсутствия в храме во время исполнения католической заупокойной мессы.
Звучание хора мощное, переклички голосовых групп усиливают драматизм, эмоциональную напряженность, динамические контрасты яркие. Солисты звучат
великолепно!
Светлана Давыдова
Vous avez tout à fait raison Svetlana, tout ceci demande un talent immense et beaucoup de rigueur.
Le Requiem de Mozart, THE masterpiece dans l'histoire de la musique, est exigeant, c'est l'interprétation que je préfère avec le chef d'orchestre Karl Bohm....
Dieu est grand !🙏💒🕊
Çok büyük bir usta
This has to be the best version of the Requiem I have ever heard!!! This is my first time hearing about Karl Bohm and after looking him up it's a shame how few recordings he has done. Bohm has instantly become my favorite conductor
I think this is how Requiem is intended to be performed. The best version I have heard so far. Very balanced sound, right tempo, every note is heard, thanks to Karl Bohm. (I hate it when conductors use too much of pp and ff throughout this piece.) The chorus/orchestra are possibly the best in the world and it shows (sounds). To top it, the soloists are also great. The soprano (G. Janowitz) is exceptional here. Truly remarkable perfomance in all regards. Thanks for posting the full version!
カール・ベーム、生涯の最高級の超名演❗️この作品数ある名演の中でも、個人的に、ワルター、シューリヒトを凌ぐ出来栄え。ベームの同時期の正式リリースされている演奏よりも此方の方が更に素晴らしいと思います。「Lacrimosa」の素晴らしさに初めて聴いた時号泣しました
На одном дыхании, стройно Гениальная музыка ,проникновенное исполнение - лучшее из тех ,что слушала ,благодарю
Les mots que nous connaissons, les louanges, les compliments, les qualificatifs les plus forts et qui sont tous retranscrits dans ces commentaires dithyrambiques sont ils suffisants, sont ils assez justes pour célébrer autant de génie, un génie qui va bien au delà des mots. Mozart est hors de l'entendement, hors de nos propos, hors de notre appréhension du monde...Speechless, sans voix est sans doute le sentiment qui prédomine quand on est face à un tel monument de notre histoire ?!
D'ailleurs, le silence juste après du Mozart est encore du Mozart ! Un cas unique, un être hors du temps et qui pourtant fait bien partie de notre humanité une et indivisible...
Une musique divine qui nous rend tous si petits, si misérables, si médiocres quand nous voyons que sur cette même chaine le Gangnam style se taille des milliards de vues reflétant encore plus douloureusement et même tragiquement la médiocrité inhérente à notre époque où l'art est en train de disparaitre, de perdre la bataille et la quête du beau de la beauté être reléguée dans les profondeurs de l'oubli ?!
Nous et notre civilisation avons tout simplement oublié que la beauté est une valeur absolue, intemporelle et universelle et Mozart est un cas d'école qui a vécu il n'y a pas si longtemps, c'est dire notre plongeon dans la médiocrité ?
This is so powerful, so magic that every time that I hear Requiem ,I have tears in my eyes . The best performing ever of Mozart. Thanks
❤🔥
I have listen to many versions of Mozart's Requiem such as Karajan/VPO, Shaw/Atlanta Symphony, Abbado/BPO, Davis/ BBC Symphony, Mariner/ASMF, Solti/VPO, etc. And in my honest opinion Bohm's recording here just completely blows them all in the water.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 kyrie was sooooooo boring though.
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 sorry but Karajan + Wiener Ph. /Anna Tomowa Sintow still rules..just my opinion, here at 1.42 they 're breaking the rythm..no way...also 2.29...
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 becouse tempo is slow. And this is a reason - i love it too !
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 en effet , la plus profonde des interprétations du requiem , elle surclasse toutes les autres
+TheLastOfTheFinest80 , I absolutely agree! I had chills throughout the entire performance.
Bohm is one of the indisputable authorities in performing Mozart's music. His interpretations of Mozart's symphonies and operas are also great!
I fully agree, Karl Bohm besides being one of the best conductors of the 20th century is simply the best conductor performing Mozart’s MUSIC!
Karl Böhm best Mozart interpreter I have ever seen in my life!!!
I think this is the best version of this wonderful requiem I've been so lucky to have sung! Perfect tempo!
Böhm's interpretation comes probably the closest to Mozart's terror of death and depth of emotion. Amazing performance!
Totally true.
Bohm the supreme master. With the four greatest soloists ever!
C'est vraiment la meilleure interprétation du Requiem de Mozart que j'ai entendue, loin devant celle de Karajan beaucoup trop rapide (avec lui ce n'est plus un requiem mais une cavalcade); Le Tuba mirum est exeptionnel avec un florilège de solistes tout à fait remarquables (Water Berry impressionnant). Karl Bohm sert à la perfection le divin Mozart dans le bon tempo. C'est impresssionnant et inoubliable.
Just the perfection!!!! Mr Böhm understand Mozart in every notes!!!
Magnifique. Just Magnifique.
For me, the conductor's tempo throughout this masterpiece is 100% correct.
I have 17 versions of the Requiem, and this is my fauvorite, the most epic and majestic, and i like the slow tempo.
The most spiritual is the Celibidache's version.
Hola... si gustas mándame un correo a iratzioe@yahoo.com... te comparto las versiones que tengo, que son 35... hay varias tan hermosas como ésta de Bohm!...
iratzio esquivel me encantaria poder tenerlas yo también! ¿es mucho abuso?
You sent me to Celibidache and I am back. Celibidache lacked the power of this recording and I found it too slow.
Que tal les parece la version de Hebert Von Karajan?
No esta mal, pero para mi esta tiene el tempo perfecto, la de Karajan va algo mas rápida.
Bonsoir,
Karl Böhm reste le plus grand interprète de Mozart. Cette version reste la meilleure, inégalée.
Or rather, precisely because of the slower pace. It opens up the voices. They sound incredibly alive. Simply brilliant.
Never cease to be amazed every time I listen to this master piece. Every part of the sequence is a winner! Mozart must have been proud.
Thanks for posting this video. This is one of the best interpretations of his Requiem I've ever heard, and watching it being performed so well is simply thrilling. I felt chills at several especially evocative parts, which help appreciate the profundity of Mozart's gifts. This will be performed until the end of time, inspiring each generation with its supernatural grace and beauty.
I listened to this every night as I slept Sophomore year in college and then stopped. When I had my child in NM in 1998 they gave you a Mozart cd when you had a baby and a baby blanket. I had my children go to sleep to Mozart's requiem every night for their first 10 years of life. I am ignorant of music, but know I like a certain version of this. I just found this Karl Bohm on youtube and I recognize it to be the one we own; the cd case is long lost and cd is worn. Thank you for uploading so I can now see what I have listened to for so many years. All of the people who can sing like this, play music like this, direct this and Mozart for writing it are true angels to the world! It moves me to tears every time because it is beyond beautiful! Thank you!
我喜歡你的故事，上帝讓我卸下重擔，Amen
Knock-out performance. And then some. Everyone at the top of their game here. Very moving. Simply fantastic singing by the chorus.
• Wiener Symphoniker, Wiener Staatsopernchor, Karl Böhm (conductor)

Thanks for uploading.

walter berry is great
La meilleure interprétation pour la plus belle musique jamais écrite...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best performance ever of the requiem !!!
La plus belle version du Requiem de Mozart jamais égalée
Profondeur, envolées et puissance entre ces murs ! Pour moi, c'est de la résonance humaine et mystique ! Cette version reste ma préférée !
Gostei desta interpretação mais lenta e majestosa, muito linda sem ser pesada e maçante, com interpretes de primeira grandeza, tudo está maravilhoso, me prendeu ouvi-la! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Obrigado pela postagem!
Wow. Gotta appreciate music man. I really don’t understand people when they say they can’t stand this music. When they use the phrase “the art of music” I believe it should only be in reference to something like this.
Love you, Bohm! So spiritual, so inteligent interpretation! Thank you!
finally, perfect speed
nahh, too slow
Praying for the conversion of my family
the reason almost 2 million people have loved this performance is the outstanding performers one and all
. Gundula Janowitz (Sopran), Christa Ludwig (Alt), Peter Schreier (Tenor), Walter Berry (Bass), Chor der Wiener Staatsoper und Wiener Symphoniker unter Karl Böhm. Wiener Phil at the Piaristenkirche, 1971-you will never see that cast again . Only the Best .oh to have been there .
The Tempo Karl Böhm uses is wonderful. It makes me breath, opens the heaven. Bravo.
The pace is slow but the effect is overwhelming. In some other conductor's hands this pace would simply be lugubrious. Bohm works magic and astounds the listener.
@@larrymerkle1672 So it is. Magical, truly
He did the same for Figaro. It's magical, like he's one of the few people to have ever truly understood Mozart's work and gives the right emphasis to every phrase. I imagine it's similar to looking into Mozart's head when he wrote the music and hearing what he wanted when composing... and every performance since he initially imagined it, even those conducted by himself, might not have gotten close to what he was thinking.
i played violin for 12 years. this piece is a complex one to play and put together. This is by far the best version of Mozart Requiem I've ever heard. It might have even brought Lazarus back from the dead.
Quisiera decir algo pero no puedo, no hay palabras para describir tanta belleza tanta excelsitud tanta perfección.
Dios mío gracias a ti gracias a Mozart y gracias al maestro Karl Bohm.
I like it so much, this is my favorite presentation of Mozart Requiem....excellent...
Cerca del cielo, Mozart gracias por llevarnos allí a través de este director,estos intérpretes, esta orquesta y estos coros
The best version ever! So majestic! As if Mozart wrote this master piece for himself!
This performance of Mozart's requiem is something more profound than merely beautiful. It is awe-inspiring, relentless, severe, austere, and spacious. Bohm has a dream vocal quartet, orchestra, chorus, and setting. There is an urgency to this interpretation that, to my ears, is missing on so many hurried, lighter performances. I have read many comments here, before writing my own; to say that the performance is "slow" is, to my ears, to miss the point of the cosmic drama being enacted. In this Mozart Requiem, there is no place to hide from the terror of death ; the gravity of the moment trumps mere beauty. There are other great Mozart Requiems; there is not one "only" performance of anything, at least to my ears. But I will be returning to this performance for an astringent reminder of human mortality.
How well you describe what I experience in listening to this performance; its austerity, its harshness almost, is quite unlike any other. It's nice to have someone put words to it.
A brilliant description, thank you.
Mozart was the greatest musical talent ..hands down.. His favorite was opera and the human voice and at 35 not many surpassed him in those genres..Handel was good and Puccini. But come on. Mozart was from a different universe.
buzzword
Excellent description of this piece of art.
The best performance of the requiem I have ever heard!
This person's requiem can only be said to be splendid. It's as good as Karajan's requiem and I listen to it a lot. I will never forget the shock when I first heard it. Thank you for posting.
The most mozartian Requiem that one can hear. Brilliant, sumptuous, sober and perfect germanic sound.
+@Valdemarquijano "Germanic sound"? How's that relevant for a Mass sung in Latin.
absolutely right
Indeed - and that includes the German dialect of Latin used in this performance, which is a little closer to the authentic classical Latin of Imperial Rome at her peak from two millennia ago than the Italian "Church" Latin that is used - most unfortunately!!!! - almost universally these days. [Why should singers have it as easy as possible in comparison to the instrumentalists??? Just because of words?!??]
Yes, the slow tempi Karl Böhm uses here lend both profundity AND urgency as well as relentlessness of a sort impossible with faster performances. For once, a piece of conducting that really allows me to like this conductor (aside from Berg's "Wozzeck" and this, I really find him quite unexceptional and even irritating in Wagner and Richard Strauss) - well done!!!
First, the German pronunciation of the Latin (as opposed to the Italian "Church-Latin"); second, the performance-practice of that time (it's not tainted by the "historically-informed practice" which has in my opinion virtually KILLED so much of this repertoire in my eyes and taste thanks to its rigidity and bigotry against anything "extraneous" to then!!!).
V a l d e m a r q u i j a n o = Supremacist ... German yet? Although you display a Castilian name ... little wonder! Birds of a feather fly together, isn't it ?
Wow. 249 people have "thumbs downed" the single greatest musical composition to bless the ears, emotions and souls of mankind. 40 years after my Da asked me to listen to this, I still get chills every time I listen. I feel that the only piece close to this level of perfection is the opening Kyrie from his Great Mass in C minor.
568 now. All HIPsters.
@@AlexanderArsov высшее искусство браво
Definitely, the most beautiful version on RUclips.
The most version everytime, and everywhere.
...and not only on You Tube!
Definitely the most emotional music ever, something not from this world, a message from the eternity. Only Bohm undertstood, what Mozart wanted to say.
Agree
Well I wouldn't exactly say only Bohm understood what Mozart wanted to say. That's a little over the top. This is my favorite recording of it. But lots of people know and love this Requiem that came straight from heaven. Not everyone has the ability or the experience nor the training nor the venue to conduct an orchestra to bring pass the interpretation you like.
Muito lindo. A senhora Gundula tem uma voz angelical, belíssima, maravilhosa, todos maravilhosos e mesmo com poucos recursos tecnologicos para época realizaram algo tão fascinante. Porque são brilhantes. Esse é o concerto que mais acho bonito, até hoje. Tão puro e natural.
Yes, definitely one of the best versions of the Requiem.
Not "one of the" but simply THE BEST! MAESTRO BÖHM!
@@maroni64 but the Confutatis is too slow. It should have fervor and desperation.
Excellent performance! Is the best version that I have heard..
MOst likely the most powerful recording ever made for Mozart's Requiem!
agree. Bohm is a master.
Absolutely I agree totally!!!
look for the recording of Guilini
@@gabriel1chan Sir, where would one find this recording?
Thank you
What about Currentzis recording?
La mejor versión, sin duda.
Remembering KARL BÖHM on his birthday today !
Born: August 28, 1894, Graz, Austria
Died: August 14, 1981, Salzburg, Austria
I share the same birthday with him, but I was born in 1949.
The 'Requiem' is a captivating story about our mortality, the Christian epic theme. A divine composition so well performed, lyrical while so very precise in intonation. Conductor K. Bohm is superior guidance to the chorous and orchestra in the realization of Mozart's presentation is second to none. A superb performance yet sublimely delicate, precise, conveying what the composer intended.
очень больно. через века. Моцарт великий композитор
Without a doubt, one of the most powerful classic recordings. It's up there with Colin Davis 1967 recording with the BBC ensemble. The experience of the Sanctus is undescribable. The sound of Heaven!!
this is my first hearing for Mozart's requiem. it has been my best version for decades since when I was 20 years old.
me too since when I was a student 20 years old.
我也是20歲開始聽的
Thanks a lot for sharing this legendary performance ! Wonderful performance, wonderful recording !
Sie haben in allen Punkten Recht, Wolfgang Böhm. Eine der besten Interpretationen des Meisterwerkes. Gruß aus Berlin
25 years after hearing this for the first time it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
Великолепное исполнение гениального Моцарта!!! Музыка как буд- то льётся с небес...
La mejor interpretación con mucho que se puede oir en You Tube.Karl Böhm magistral.
