Au revoir, dear Maestro -- the musical world will miss you! Thank you so much for all the delight and deep joy you spread through your work. I hope you're playing, chatting and laughing with all the other wonderful artists who have undoubtedly welcomed you warmly into the Great Beyond ... R.I.P....
+TheMbader I totally agree with you - marvellous bunch of young musicians, and they and Harnoncourt made a terrific team! So sorry to hear of his death today...
Dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last weeks :)
09:40 - 10:18 These lines are so important, for they relativise our common notions about music. Harnoncourt sees the influence of tradition, current fashion, habits etc. on our understanding of new things, showing consequently how that ,new, doesn't have the power we usually think it has, it's always context dependent.
For me (this is not meant to be absolute) their recordings of the Beethoven Symphonies are the best, because they are maybe the closest to what Beethoven intended them to sound. And just let me state this: it does fit those symphonies greatly. check out their recordings.
No podríamos decir que las ideas del maestro Nikolaus no funcionaban para él mismo,para los músicos baio su dirección y para su búsqueda pero, ante semejante crítica al trabajo de Karajan y la rutina, no puedo evitar pensar que la belleza, la grandeza artística puede llegar no sólo por medios diversos, sino incluso, contrarios. Es evidente que esa "rutina" que tanto despreciaba Harnoncourt,le funcionó al maestro Karajan. Ambos ,gigantes de la dirección.
pega17pl It's certainly personal opinion, but nevertheless, I disagree with you. Without the baton, expression can be maximized, and the tiniest of nuances shown. The stick is hindering, quite frankly.
pega17pl The matter of clarity really falls to the conductor. Some are very clear without the baton (Boulez) and some are very unclear with it; and vice versa.
Das kommt doch ganz auf den Dirigenten an ... Karajan hätte keinen Taktstock gebraucht, der sah ja eher aus, wie eine rückwärts fliegende Fledermaus, wenn er dirigierte, später zumindest, bei Kleiber zum Beispiel wäre aber ohne den Taktstock einiges gar nicht entstanden, man muss nur seine sehr feinen BEwegungen damit sehen. Und Thielemann bräuchte auch keinen, so wie der dirigiert ...

+Carol de la Haye Rest in peace maestro!
What a wonderful portrait of this great conductor... such a love for music :-)
It's the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Harnoncourt loved to work with them.
They are very special, one of the best orchestras ever.

November 2006 .. There are calm memories played in Korea.
R. I. P Maestro Harnoncourt!
Fantastic how he adds profile to the different colours of the music.
Another great musician left us!

Such an inspiration!
25:00. Super bonus points to the maestro for referencing the hurdygurdy. Quirky and wonderful instrument:)
A MEDIEVAL FOLK instrument, at that!
Astonishingly inspiring!
He was the last conductor I expected to hear make his points to the orchestra through images. Delightful surprise.
the image above the technique to produce the right effect.
Que personajes grandiosos que derramar sabiduría yamor al arte por doquier

Everything is fresh under his baton.
Two future prominent conductors playing here: Douglas Boyd and Thierry Fischer 😊
Que bueno

Die Musik ist recht zäh, aber Harnoncourt ist super :)
Beethoven hat die schönste Musik geschrieben die es auf der Erde gibt
Please, does anybody know when and where was this rehearsal?
I think the recordings took place in 1991, so I would imagine that year.
what orchestra is this?
David A Bojanowski It's the Chamber Orchestra of Europe !
Nelle prime due battute le pause durano 4 invece di 3!
which year？
I think 1991
No se su biografia
“Caricature of Mälzel‘s Metronome…”? Really? Mälzel developed his Metronome almost 3 years after Beethoven composed the 8th symphony!
Can I know the songs played in this video?
+Ja-Keoung Koo the beginning is Beethoven's 1st Symphony
It would be helpful to know the name of the orchestra, or was it simply a no-name group assembled for a temporary purpose?
They're the Chamber Orchestra of Europe
If you aren't handicapped at your hands, there is no reason not to use baton for clear signs and signals to help musicians to get perfection you want.

Kyle Aufderhar Strange because baton was introduced to avoid unclear signs and signals.

+Johann Schneider
Es sind die Musiker der hinteren Reihen, die "keinen Taktstock" als Beleidigung seitens des Dirigenten empfinden.
