.I first heard the BPO/Karajan on LP 25 yrs earlier..and was totally taken back by some of his recordings. I never imagined that one day I would see them "live"..but on this evening, after a much delayed start of well over an hour,(Live broadcast nightmare) Karajan walked out on to the stage, looking rather fragile, and being helped by some of the players, was greeted by a standing ovation, I had tears in my eyes to see such an unusual sight from an audience, even before a note had been played...something I had never witnessed at any orchestral concert..my dream had come true, I were hearing them live..The second half of the programme was Brahms` 1st Symphony...I had seen one of the greatest orchestra/conductor combination at long last, and as it became HVK`s last visit to London, makes this a performance with a lot of personal feelings..because I were fortunate enough before the concert to see Karajan and his wife arrive at the RFH Artists entrance, they were probably no more than 10 ft away..I have this recording, as the BBC released it on cd..it always evokes all those memories every time I see, or hear this cd..thanks for uploading, and firing up some magical memories..
God gives you the true faith and hope, God bless her soul she, will be holding you hand and drives you to heaven, so be patient sir and pray for her, your loss is your hard test in life take it with complete faith and satisfaction and watch the light that would come from your heart with comfort and convenience ! 🙂
Я был поражен этим произведением, впервые услышав его в 18 лет. Сейчас мне 60 и я пронес любовь к нему через всю свою жизнь. I was amazed by this masterpiece when I heard it for the first time at the age of 18. Now I am 60 and I have carried the love for it through all my life
@@fideliofidelio1222well, it’s hard to explain the ‘Romance’ though words. Because language is a kind of framework and there is a limit to explaining all emotions. But This song can express, using dissonance.
His cd with transfigured night is pure magic, one of his 7 world wonder (Metarmophosen+Verklärte Nacht+4 letzte Lieder (Janowitz), Bruckner 7 + 8, Shosti 10, Mahler 9, Meistersinger I, Ring, Boheme).
@@MrPianist91 For the Brahms 4, if you want to hear the original version-Furtwangler/with the original orchestra and sound which was disappearing but thanks to Karajan they kept a small portion of it through his market identity. Bruckner 7+8? will have to see. He probably copies that too. I have a hunch Furtwangler learned a thing or 2 from Nikisch in regards to the Brahms.
Questo è un capolavoro assoluto della musica a cavallo tra XIX e XX secolo - prima che Schoenberg si dedicasse all' indagine dodecafonica - in cui il genio interpretativo e tecnico di Karajan non ha rivali, è semplicemente e sublimemente invalicabile. Consiglio anche la prima registrazione in studio del 1973 per la DG, che a mio parere resta una pietra miliare nella storia del disco. La storia di questo concerto registrato a Londra è singolare: a parte la ormai acclarata stanchezza del Maestro, provato dalla malattia alla schiena che non gli lasciava tregua, in quest' occasione a complicare le cose ci si mise anche il trasporto degli strumenti dei Berliner, via treno dalla Francia, che furono consegnati all'orchestra appena in tempo per cominciare il concerto. Quindi, assenza di prove come Karajan pretendeva sempre, anche quando il repertorio era straordinariamente familiare. Tuttavia questo non impedì una prestazione superlativa di direttore e orchestra, anche nella Prima di Brahms che costituì la seconda parte del concerto.
Thank you for mentioning the Eun Hee-kyung novel. It seems not to be available in English. If you happen to have a link to the Korean edition, I’d be thankful.
Karajan found a way to let this music sound almost abstract. The sentimentality is lost or hidden. As if he had no heartfelt understanding of romanticism. This is polished music but not the way I think Schönberg meant it. Maybe for a London audience the right thing to do? Karajan and BPO can only be flawless, I guess. But this is not THE ultimate Performance. Sorry. 😀
@@makyhsmakyhs6766 I did not try to imply I knew what the "perfect performance is". I just implied I knew what it was not. But I'll give you an idea of what I am looking for. Schönberg's music is based on a German poem from the end of the 19th century (poem published in 1896, music composed in 1899). Schönberg at a later stage gave quite precise instructions and explanations of the relationship between poem and music. You can find it on the internet. The poem goes about a man and a woman taking a walk in a grove. It is dark, the moon shines and "walks with them". The woman tells the man she is pregnant - but not from him. The man replies "but a peculiar warmth glimmers / from you to me, and then from me to you. / Thus is transfigured ("verklärt") the child of another man; / You will bear it for me, as my own;" And the poem ends with "Two humans pass through the high, clear night." So the story the music tells is a melodrama, it's about human imperfection, independence of spirit, humaneness, nobleness, gentleness, magnanimity, warmth that prevails. Often you find very dark beginnings of performances of "Verklärte Nacht" - not this one though. Any scary, dark aspect is a misunderstanding. It's simply wrong. Or like Karajan's interpretation displaying the layers of this music in a sleek and elegant, smooth way. But "Verklärte Nacht" is not about elegance. It's about a deep, sweet, warm encounter of two lovers, an honest conversation, a turning point in a relationship. It's highly emotional, eternal and almost quiet. A "perfect performance" - in my opinion - should combine at least these three different and somewhat contradictory aspects.
@@hhschrader8067 I agree with you but you didn't tell me who is the best to interpret shohnberg works, I mean the poem suits, like verklarte nacht , I knew that Karl bohm and herbert von karajan were the last guardians of the germanic music, but not with shohnberg, that is why I am asking you about the best conductors to interpret thses pieces, thanks.

Concert of a lifetime for those in attendance.
This is the one of the best romantic music that I’ve ever heard! It tells about merely romance itself. Thank you for the clip! love from SouthKorea🎉
You’re welcome!

Huge thank you for the upload - Karajan’s final London appearance

And Brahms Symphonies (1988)
Madama Butterfly, Falstaff, Schumann 4, Alpensinfonie, Zarathustra and Rosenkavalier. In fact, too many to mention.

Eternal prayer for late Karajan
Wonderful piece from a real gifted true composer !
La version de référence pour grand orchestre à cordes !
First definitive Transfigured Night, it also happens to be a very beautiful poem about male chastity.
25 yr old Schoenberg!

Karajan is posing as the saviour of music.
23:01 for my own benefit
For Assignment
Karajan found a way to let this music sound almost abstract. The sentimentality is lost or hidden. As if he had no heartfelt understanding of romanticism. This is polished music but not the way I think Schönberg meant it. Maybe for a London audience the right thing to do? Karajan and BPO can only be flawless, I guess.

So, what is the ultimate ideal performance from your point of view about this piece by shohnberg ?
