The vibrato of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by young Karajan is a supreme gem, but only a few classical music listeners know its rarity.
No it is not Berliner Philharmoniker, it is this recording that is in the movie. However when the official soundtrack album was released they used the Berliner Philharmoniker version due to a dispute with the crediting of the original music by Herbert von Karajan/Vienna Philharmonic from English Decca.
A blast from my past--one of the first classical LPs I ever bought, in the late 60's. Bought "Abbey Road" on the same spree. It was on London Stereo Treasury back then, their bargain re-release label. Got it because THIS is the version of the Zarathrustra Sunrise that Kubrick began "2001" with, not the Bohm version on the sound track. The recording was 10 years old when I got it, and the LP remained my #1 Zarathustra till I replaced it with a CD. Which I didn't enjoy as much.

J'étais un petit garçon de cinq ans et demi, en ces jours autour du 21 juillet 1969. Mes parents, pourtant très stricts, m'avaient permis, même encouragé, à regarder la télévision autant que je le pouvais, même la nuit. A chaque flash info, je pouvais entendre ce thème. Des années plus tard, j'ai compris qu'il venait du premier vrai film de SF, 2001. A un moment, mon père m'a dit : tu vois, un homme à posé le pied sur la Lune. Et il m'a traduit les paroles historiques d'Armstrong avant la traduction du speaker de la RTB. C'était très intense...
Strauss holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Zarathustra This performance's overwhelming power will bring about the dawn of the confused world
Yes, a truly masterful performance, but I've never understood why the organ cuts off with the brass at the beginning when the score clearly has it hold (solo) for an extra 2 beats. I do love the deep bell as opposed to bass chime at 28:50.
The only real sonic competition for this performance is that with Zubin Mehta conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic, recorded a few years later in Los Angeles. The LA Philharmonic is definitely NOT the Vienna Philharmonic but they come about as close as an inferior orchestra (at that time) can to one of the greatest symphony orchestras of all time. I slightly prefer the sonics on the Los Angeles/Mehta album, but I would not be without this performance because it goes further in expressing instrumental perfection, and the sonics are excellent!
This is the mountaintop from which all other versions descend. At second camp, maybe Kempe and the Dresden State Orchestra. Base Camp is Reiner with the 1954 Chicago Symphony. Other people will have different perspectives. This mountain can contain them all.
No, you were right the first time - this is the absolute summit. No other performance even comes close, not even Karajan's later 1984 recording. This was Karajan at his best, and this version of Also Sprach Zarathustra is nothing less than pure, exquisite perfection! It has never been done better, and probably never will be.
To paraphrase Tyrone Guthrie, the theater director, "There will never be one single perfect way to play Hamlet. There will always be a million ways of playing it wrong." Karajan's performance here is one of the perfect ways of performing Strauss's work. Each time I listen, I am breathless and silent in wonder following the organic progression of sound and sense.
leoleo12321 I've heard that one, and it is great, but this version is still better in my opinion. This 1959 performance surpasses every other, even every other one of Karajan's
OK. We can't all stand on the same spot at the same time on the mountaintop. Each of us stands in a different spacetime "spot" by necessity, and each of us has a different perspective. .I will never "disagree" with your perspective, nor with what your eyes see nor especially with what your ears tell you. If an avalanche occurs, or a storm comes, well, we shall see......
Hate to take the same side as everyone else, but I'm starting to recognize this as the very best performance - cut off bass organ note or no. I still love the old Karl Bohm/Berlin version and a couple of others, but this is the summit.
This recording got it so right that H von Karajan's 1959 version loses its gloss immediately with its multi mic setup and unnatural overall sound effect, say the micro-detailed timpani at the intro. Pay attention to that aspect and one will agree. This Vienna Phil recording is silky smooth, more detailed tho more airy as well, as if the mics were placed at the 7th row from the conductor. The performance again, was not just perfect. Celestial, to put it at the least.
Is there an organ there in the opening, at the crescendo? Someone has said it cuts out early, but I don’t hear that. What I do hear faintly is one group slightly out of tune?
Richard Strauss died in 1949 meaning that all his work are in the public domain on January 1st 2020 Since this recording was publised in 1959, before 1963, it is in the public domain in the European Union However, due to RUclips's very annoying content ID system, it cannot differentiate between recordings of the same work, meaning that the more recent, copyrighted, recordings of this work are still subject to copyright and are therefore automatically detected by the Content ID system, so ads are shown. The uploader of this video should be able to appeal these Content ID claims and get them removed. But, since the copyright holder (the owners of the recordings in Content ID, which have nothing to do with the video) are the ones that actually determine if the video is violating their copyright they will probably not release the claim. This is the society we live in, people can basically take ownership of public domain works simply because an automated system is the one to do it. Then there is also the fact that in the United States, which RUclips is based in, recordings from 1959 are still protected under copyright until January 1st 2054, however it is not the owners of this copyright who have claimed the video.
However: I LOVE that you can actually hear the organ at 7:09. In most recordings and even live performances, it is buried at this spot, such that unless one is looking at the score, one would never know it exists there.
Dominic Field It's not that the organ is flat, it's that it is a mechanical instrument whereas the orchestra is a living, breathing organism. The players in an orchestra are constantly, subconsciously, making micro tunings and using vibrato, which an organ can't do. Therefore it sounds slightly flat whenever the orchestra breaks off. This happens in any work with organ and orchestra. It can cause quite a "bump" when it happens.

You do realize there's a VERY special place in hell for whatever tasteless idiot who okayed putting an ad in the middle of such a wonderful, brilliant one-of-a-kind recording like this one. There are incredibly few recordings like this one by von Karajan available today. To listen to this on a top-of-the-line turntable, running a clean vinyl LP through a MacIntosh powering a couple of big Klipsh's is about as close to heaven as you're gonna get. Putting ads in an incredible piece like this is just plain criminal.
Best version is Fritz Reiner /Chicago symphony 2nd recording 1962 on RCA issued in Stereo and later around 1970 in true quadraphonic surround sound only on 8 track tape.

I definetely know what you meant. In my humble opinion, it is incomparable.
POV: You didn't hear the next part of the piece, and you realize how much it's beautiful
Perfekt! Richard Strauss, einer der Besten!!!! Was für ein Beginn!
I still think this is Karajan’s finest recording of this piece, superb as the two Berlin recordings are
Wiener Philharmoniker halt...
My dream is A TRAVEL TO VIENNA AND KNOW LA FILAMOBICA DE VIENA AND VISIT MANY PRETTY PLACES

Best Zarathurtsa version ever!!! This is the one that's used on 2001
No it is not Berliner Philharmoniker, it is this recording that is in the movie. However when the official soundtrack album was released they used the Berliner Philharmoniker version due to a dispute with the crediting of the original music by Herbert von Karajan/Vienna Philharmonic from English Decca.
Correct. Karajan in the film, Boehm on the OST LP.
Karl Bohm with the Berlin Philharmonic
also sounds special is very beautifull too.
The 2001 movie used the Stanley Kublik/Philharmonia orchestra record performance of 1968.
Best version of zarathustra was rec in 1973 bpo karajan

Did you ever buy the CD version of the soundtrack? It comes with this version, plus the Karl Böhm version.
Storica registrazione, memorabile ed eccezionale interpretazione.
Forgot to say thanks muchly. Quelle nostalgique!

A masterpiece.

Ein Von Strauss Beste
Hot take: This 1959 Decca Vienna Philharmonic version recording is Superior than his 1973 and 1984 Berlin Philharmonic retake.
Schwul.

Probably the reverb takes two beats. Hard to hear unless you were there...
I wondered about that too. My music senses wanted the organ to sustain a little longer for sure too.
Karajan is the best conductor.
MARAVILLOSO
Exellent!

Why are the trumpets so neutered in this recording?!?!
They sound fine on the opening… and then all the trumpet solos/features… totally wimpy!?!?!?
The ones putting the ads, at least follow the music structure!
It's a pity the organ is nearly a 1/4 tone flat. Listen at 01.33 to the held chord.
However: I LOVE that you can actually hear the organ at 7:09. In most recordings and even live performances, it is buried at this spot, such that unless one is looking at the score, one would never know it exists there.
You know, I always thought that last note sounded a little off, but somehow I never nailed it down to the actual offending instrument.
