This is the only version of the Freischütz i enjoy, and i enjoy it greatly! Finding this rehearsel after listening to for years i come to realize that everything i love about the Overtüre so much is specifically requested by Kleiber to be expressed this way. Now when i listen Freischütz again i feel like i can really hear Kleiber through it. He just nailed it. Harnoncours version for example completely misses everything, that Kleiber managed to get out of it. And also, what a down to earth guy! Not a bone of arrogance in his body!
I have subsequently learned that the clarinetist that day was a substitute player, not the normal first clarinetist. Still, it just rankles to see so many of these older players, with hardening of the love for music, treat Kleiber so cavalierly.
"Nicht spielen nur hören". Toll! Auch von Karajan berichteten die Orchesterspieler, dass eine seiner Anweisungen immer "Hören!" war. Er rief das während der Probe einfach so in die Musik, wissend das die Musiker schon wussten was er meinte.
Funny how the discussion about the clarinet player starts in this video. For me it was clear from his first solo in the other part of the video that he was not up for this part.
@raychuan, if you have the rest of the video would you be able to share it with the rest of the world. I've lost count of how many times I watched these three clips...
@ipmoic Don't get too upset, it's bad for yout health :-) I know from experience that you can look uninterested, smiling or even smirking but at the same time taking the conductor's advice. It's a rehearsal thing, focused and relaxed at the same time...
I really don't know how Kleiber kept from going over and slapping that disrespectful clarinetist's face!! I wouldn't have able to. What self control and forgiveness. Good looking guy in his youth and cared so much about the music--that is the key.
ipmoic-- They just don't want to generate the contrasts and intensity as the overture builds to the climax necessary to articulate the opera. What conductor said (approximately), "God tells me how this music should sound but YOU get in the way!"
I don't know how many german speaking people watch this video, but i think it is kinda funny how he says "For a blind man it has a look" or however you might translate that properly at 2:19 and then they show that guy with sunglasses who kinda looks like he is blind...

Thanks for posting this very interesting, instructive, and enjoyable glimpse inside an orchestral rehearsal!
