    Carlos Kleiber was such a great conductor with a unique and elegant technique, that the orchestra preceived very well.
    This great Brahms 2nd performance with Vienna Phil. underlines this.

      Carlos Kleiber’s unique and elegant technique truly set him apart, and it’s amazing how well the orchestra responded to his leadership. This Brahms 2nd performance with the Vienna Philharmonic is indeed a perfect example of his greatness.

    As a retired orchestral musician, I have never enjoyed this as much as I did, watching and listening to that incredible music , played by those wonderful musicians. As an elderly person losing hearing in the high registers, I appreciated being able to hear it all more clearly! Thank you so very much.

      @@joachimakerlind4453 To the contrary, Carlos has been underrated by some. We judge how good a conductor is not mainly by looking at the repertoire, the number of orchestras led, and the number of concerts conducted, but by how he interprets the music pieces through his gestures, expressions and movements.

      Well, of course. I’m a musician - I know….I know how you judge conductors- I’ve played lots of them.
      I just say that / in my opinion / he’s often overated. He became a mystery and a legend while still conducting - because he turned so manny jobs down - hardly working. To grow and be a truly great musician needs work

    A joy to hear such a wonderful woodwind section, especially the Vienna oboes, with their reedy tone quality, clarity of articulation, perfect intonation, and lack of vibrato. What a huge relief from the "thick and wobbly" school of modern oboe playing.

    Immenso! È sempre contemporaneamente fuori dallo schema gestuale e dentro lo schema. Estremamente essenziale, dirige solo dove serve e modella il suono con una eleganza impeccabile. Il suo gesto arricchisce il melange dato da Brahms nella sua sublime orchestrazione ed evidenzia i tratti salienti delle sfumature date dal sapiente movimento delle parti del compositore. Un così grande autore richiede necessariamente un così grande interprete. Il connubio è divino. Orchestra formata da splendidi musicisti, di una maestria ai limiti del commovente. Equilibri perfetti, di precisione farmaceutica. Grandissimo compositore, grandissimo direttore, grandissima orchestra!!!!

    Avrebbe potuto lasciarci stupende Prima e Terza di Brahms, invece si è egoisticamente dedicato soltanto alla Seconda ed alla Quarta, benchè si tratti di capolavori interpretativi difficilmente eguagliabili; colgono il più intimo melos brahmsiano e lo cantano in piena perfezione tecnica, conferendo ad ogni frase, ad ogni songola battuta, un senso mai udito prima.

      It’s true that his interpretations of the Second and Fourth are nearly unmatched in their technical perfection and emotional depth.
