I remember when i went to see Verdi's requiem live, me and a friend of mine, didn't speak for hours afterward, we just sat on a bench.....totally blown away
The Verdi and Mozart requiems are to entirely different animals. From different periods and composed for under, very different circumstances, for totally dissimilar reasons. You really cannot compare the two.
We played this for our school marching band!!! One day we were out practicing and dark clouds started rolling in, and when we finished, it was storming really bad! It was one of the most epic things ive ever been apart of!!!!!
I sang this requiem in Switzerland and the timing with sun and clouds was perfectly synchronized. Every singer noticed that the light acted the words Et lux perpetua. Eerie but true.
My choir is doing this in 2 weeks (in Davis, Ca, if anyone around there is interested) and it's definitely among the top three pieces I've ever done, along with Mozart's requiem and Carmina Burana of course. It's impossible not to sing your heart out. Simply amazing! :D
im going to miss playing this requiem at my school. we didnt really play this much but the much shorter like 2 1/2 version of it. had this piece basically memorized for trombone and i LOVED this piece
I feel the same about much of the pop music from the 50's and 60's. When I was a child, I thought they were the bees' knees, but hearing them again after going through band in school, and listening with a mature ear, it's like listening to nursery rhymes. Cute in its own way, but about as satisfying as rice cakes when I'm hungering for steak.
Just so everybody knows, I perform Baroque and Romance music, play video games, and program them too. It's about the same amount of sitting and patience. Seriously, when I am learning Rimsky, it takes about just as much patience as programming something as simple as a game where all you do is walk around.
Just awesome,,THANKS A LOT, Pozzil ! I guess,Cellofellow, Mozart lives in another Universe than Verdi does but I am sure , they are very good neighbours in anycase...Thanks again for this fantastic possibility to listen to my favourite one...
VERDI really rules Mozart! (over All, sorry) in this segment of music. I sung that in Budapest, at ZENEAKADÉMIA/Music Academy , named LISZT - so, it IS the most Beautfouuul REQUIEM, all time ! I think! Thanks! György/Budapest
@S0NNABEND I think the right way of putting it was that Karajan was one of the best marketed conductors ever, Verdi certainly wasn't his thing, but I still prefer his Verdi Requiem to Sinopoli's or Celibidache's
I agree with you - I too prefer Verdi's Requiem over Mozart's one... so much more theatrical, and so much bigger... I had the opportunity a couple of years ago to sing this amazing piece with a ~500 person choir... a-m-a-z-i-n-g experience...
@ThePenguin1995 in anycase, I don't know why you'd use the Diabelli variations of all of Beethoven's works as an example, what about the quartets and the symphonies?
well, he's always only one individual among many involved in creating any production on such scale, even if he's in the directing role. I appreciate majority's input. Hope this helps
@Keytaster No question about the Lacrimosa all right. And the rest is debatable, certainly, and has been debated by the finest minds of Mozartean scholarship. They seem to think that, apart from those three parts, Süssmayr's contribution was little more than ordinary fill-up. After all, the vocal parts are by far the most important part of the Requiem and it seems that Mozart completed a great deal of them. For Communio Süssmayr simply used the first two parts, very slightly modified.
@Keytaster Indeed, the most debatable part is whether Süssmayr used any sketches/verbal instructions for completing the 'Sanctus', 'Benedictus' and 'Agnus Dei'. Here scholars seem, again, to think that he did. Apparently it looks strange for him to have composed these entirely by himself. The full truth, of course, we shall never know. By the way, except for 'Lacrimosa', Mozart finished the vocal parts for the complete 'Sequentia' and 'Offertorium', all the way to 'Sanctus' actually.
Is it just me, or should the choristers not be smiling while singing "Dies irae?" Love the Karajan. Wish someone would post the Rex Tremendae, the choir's tenor line is fantastic.
@Lemunz Perhaps, but music does get your blood flowing, it make your emotions restless, and particularly with Wagner whenever there is a climax, its the mother of climaxes; the sheer power, beauty, splendour and genius of the music overwhelms you to some an extreme that it can cause a cardiac arrest. That's why music is so powerful because it can have such a great effect on your emotions, it is the most abstract form of art and therefore the most sublime, perfect and powerful form of art.
@phreffable. I would understand if you didn't have improvisation training. There are many different standards in music schools. We had a yearly improvisation contest in which the contenders were given the melodic line a few seconds before the contest started and their improvisations usually spanned many different techniques and expressions from different eras. Some of them used jazz techniques, but they also used other intricate forms that require years of formal training to master.
I absolutely agree, and my comment was a generalisation directed at no single pop-artist, despite the specific references. The point of course is that the ratio of performers to talent has shifted very much towards the "weak" zone, and seems to continue to get worse. Verdis and Mozarts are still being born but they're not realising their talents, and even the ones that might do are not given the exposure they deserve because our culture is drowned by talentless "brands" that win competitions.
@Keytaster Do you actually have any idea what you're talking about? Except for most of 'Lacrimosa', 'Benedictus', 'Sanctus' and 'Agnus Dei', Mozart composed pretty much everything else. Only 'Introitus' did he orchestrate, but he wrote all vocal parts + bass line + hints of orchestration for 'Kyrie', 'Sequentia' and 'Offertorium'' (Lacrimosa excluded). Süssmayr (not 'Zuckmayr') composed only four pieces at most, and even about scholars doubt he composed them by himself.
afaik, verdi wrote libera me after the death of rossini as part of an effort to get the whole mass written by his peers and performed in his honor. the project was dropped but he continued his own after manzoni's death. I still think there is a different air to verdi's when compared to some others, maybe because it was written for a man he admired. you hope, you have faith that when someone dear dies he just cannot be damned. I think that's what makes verdi's version a bit different. listen :)
@altazorX Actually that is a generalization. There are lots of metal guitar players who finished the conservatory. And yes, there is SOME types of metal that are boring and predictable
@randomuser4 I think you probably mean conductor? Unless you don't in which case I'm sorry. Some conductors have died while conducting, two conductors died while conducting Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, in almost the same place in the music, the climax.
Oh what a day! What a lovely day!
I remember when i went to see Verdi's requiem live, me and a friend of mine, didn't speak for hours afterward, we just sat on a bench.....totally blown away
No other requiem (that I have heard) captures "wrath" as well as Verdi's in the "Dies irae". Amazing! Thanks for the upload.
The power, emotion, the complete passion of the whole requiem is simply amazing! I love this!!! :D
My favorite wake up song, there's nothing quite as satifying as starting the day with a requiem.
The Verdi and Mozart requiems are to entirely different animals. From different periods and composed for under, very different circumstances, for totally dissimilar reasons. You really cannot compare the two.
They’re in the same caliber of epic tho.
Mad max fury road brought me here, amazing music
absolutely the best version of the best requiem..
We played this for our school marching band!!! One day we were out practicing and dark clouds started rolling in, and when we finished, it was storming really bad! It was one of the most epic things ive ever been apart of!!!!!
I sang this requiem in Switzerland and the timing with sun and clouds was perfectly synchronized. Every singer noticed that the light acted the words Et lux perpetua. Eerie but true.
Magnífico el comienzo, te pone los vellos de punta. Me encanta la fuerza con la que conduce Karajan esa parte. Pura expresividad.
Goose bumps everywhere!!! I love this piece of music, I love Verdi!!!
and now you have made me want to watch it again.
I love Karajan's music. Its really wonderful.
Merci Links =D
je me sens moins seul :)
Comme quoi ! :P
Oh, des fans de Links :)
Mais c'est génial, on est tous là grâce à la même vidéo !
Mariannneuh et ba oui!
These old Karajan videos are all filmed very, very well. I wish some of the producers of today's orchestral recordings were the same.
One of the best performances to this immortal piece of art
Beautiful, powerful and moving! My favourite piece of Classical music ever.
The camera work and editing in these Karajan recordings are always really good.
An immortal piece for an immortal art, conducted by a legend man and written by a genius.
Sees Karajan. Knows it will be epic.
Awesome music. I love Mozart deeply, but I also love this piece
played this in band & fangirled when I heard it in battle royale
OMG my school's band is playing this for our winter concert. We totaly don't deserve such music!!!!
Great master Karajan !!!
My choir is doing this in 2 weeks (in Davis, Ca, if anyone around there is interested) and it's definitely among the top three pieces I've ever done, along with Mozart's requiem and Carmina Burana of course. It's impossible not to sing your heart out. Simply amazing! :D
So amazing. Have to play this for my spring concert. Don't know how I'm gonna pull that off.
im going to miss playing this requiem at my school. we didnt really play this much but the much shorter like 2 1/2 version of it. had this piece basically memorized for trombone and i LOVED this piece

Cute in its own way, but about as satisfying as rice cakes when I'm hungering for steak.
This perfectly captures my mood right now
è il mio preferito-non sono un appassionato, ma giuro che quando l'ho sentita avevo i peli d'oca.Stupenda
im in 3rd grade and at my school we do music memory and this is 1 of the songs and its my favorite so far
Sends shivers up my spine......powerful and moving.
I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE!.. CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!..SING BROTHER HECKLER!..SING BROTHER KOCH!..SING BROTHERS, SING!..SING!!..
This is our opener to our marching band show!!! :DDDD
Mon Dieu, mais cette direction Karajan °__°
Battle Royale
why are you on this video, and true

Seriously, when I am learning Rimsky, it takes about just as much patience as programming something as simple as a game where all you do is walk around.
We sure did! I'm not sure if we ever recorded a video or not. I go to a small school in East Texas.
Just awesome,,THANKS A LOT, Pozzil ! I guess,Cellofellow, Mozart lives in another Universe than Verdi does but I am sure , they are very good neighbours in anycase...Thanks again for this fantastic possibility to listen to my favourite one...
VERDI really
rules
Mozart! (over All, sorry)
in this segment of music.
I sung that in Budapest,
at ZENEAKADÉMIA/Music Academy ,
named LISZT - so, it IS the most Beautfouuul
REQUIEM, all time !
I think!
Thanks!
György/Budapest
Right on the dot, friend. They're simply not comparable. Each has a different context, even, at least to me.
A rare powerful air for classical music, a genial composition very modern for that time.
Regal trumpets! Nice!
Oh, yeah, watched it just yesterday and thought: yes, that's the right piece to use as opening music! :-)
amazing... i have no words to say...
I bet it's an Inferno in there with all these hot beats.
Mello Phone i get it👌
You get an extra cookie for actually properly listening to the song and knowing your latin instead of impersonating the conductor like I did.
Well I love both of them and can't really decide hehe...Each one of them has its own special awesome heavenly divine taste :D

@S0NNABEND I think the right way of putting it was that Karajan was one of the best marketed conductors ever, Verdi certainly wasn't his thing, but I still prefer his Verdi Requiem to Sinopoli's or Celibidache's
FANTASTICA
The Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps played Dies Irae and Sanctus for back in 1979. Very intense and beautiful.
Love this.
Best summary ever.
CANNOT WAIT FOR PHANTOM REGIMENT TO PLAY THIS. Im getting chills already.
karajan i love this man :)
love it
melodic rage !!! impressive
Some day I will buy a massive monster giant ass equipment and blast it with this until my ears die from a eargasm
It's been a year...
Dario Avila its been two years...
Dario Avila it's been three years...
4 years...
man!! karajan is AWESOME!!!
@cellofellow1223 Dvoraks requiem and Berlioz and Faurés are very good to :)
Chills down my spine.
I agree with you - I too prefer Verdi's Requiem over Mozart's one... so much more theatrical, and so much bigger... I had the opportunity a couple of years ago to sing this amazing piece with a ~500 person choir... a-m-a-z-i-n-g experience...
the name of that song is "To Die For" and I found it on Playlist.com. It may also be on RUclips.
Générique d'intro pour les animés de Manga Mania (la passion du manga! ^^)
@ThePenguin1995 in anycase, I don't know why you'd use the Diabelli variations of all of Beethoven's works as an example, what about the quartets and the symphonies?
Dan Brown brought me here here, thats amazing
well, he's always only one individual among many involved in creating any production on such scale, even if he's in the directing role. I appreciate majority's input. Hope this helps

It is the only requiem I can accept. Verdi's Dies Irae is my favourite Dies Irae! I see Mars and Artemis to lead the chorus.
epic conductor
IT WAS GLORIOUS.
love singing this with choir :D
I DO LOVE Karajan, too!!
I like those conductors that are a spectacle themselves :D
YES!!!! Karajan is like the BEST conductor Ever XD
@Keytaster

This is the most epic maths homework ever!
Is it just me, or should the choristers not be smiling while singing "Dies irae?"
Love the Karajan. Wish someone would post the Rex Tremendae, the choir's tenor line is fantastic.
OMG, thank you Mad Max for showing me this :)
SUPERB!!

APABULLANTE, MAJESTUOSA!!!
Questa canzione é molto potente... Troppo onnipotente!!!
Questa non è una canzone ma è una composizione
YAY US 1st FLUTES in this piece the fast scale all the way into the highest octave!!! VERY FUN TO PLAY SO MUCH ENERGY!!!
This really makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Magnificent.
sorry, but in this video, orchestra is not Berliner Philharmoniker, but it is Wiener Philharmoniker...
This is incredible . but how do they tour with all of those people?
loved the use of this song in Battle Royale
god i love this.
@PBlart01 Do you go to waxahachie?

OMG! This is from the soundtrack of ''Quidditch World Cup'' Videogame! I luv it! :3 lol
no it's not

Top gear loves the beginning of this, it is in many episodes.
They raced across a lake in an 800 horsepower jeep to this music.
@altazorX Actually that is a generalization. There are lots of metal guitar players who finished the conservatory. And yes, there is SOME types of metal that are boring and predictable

@bdoggwith2gz Actually those are not coach horns, those are herald trumpets. Coach horns have no valves.
