Oh my Gosh! This video makes me want to get back in time to live those days again! Karajan... the legend, the king! With the best ever orchestra of all. the sound this Berlin Orchestra produces during Karajan's time is unsurpassed. I haven't heard this homogeneous, heavenly sound anywhere else. Probably never more.

His hands shaping the sound is mesmerizing. Must have been an amazing experience being part of the orchestra

Fascinating. And a rare opportunity to see and hear James Galway in full orchestral flautist mode perhaps even then dreaming about a career as a soloist? What a player!

Great video, great rehearsal, amazing interpretation, typical Berlin sound, happy! Thank you!

Um magnífico concerto-ensaio, que somente karajan sabia fazer! Gratíssimo pela postagem, e está mais do que na hora de mostrar por inteiro a obra desse grande mestre da condução orquestral!

Absolutely STUNNING!!! What a Master of the score. I always used to purchase Karajan's records when I was younger and studying reading orchestral scores and studying conducting on my own!!! Cannot say how much I loved this "REHEARSAL???" What a surprise it was to see (and hear) a younger very-talented James Galway! This Dvorak Symphony No. 8 and Berlin Philharmonic are like a fine wine and are two of my musical favorites in life. Combined with Karajan, it is the trifecta of happiness. Such beauty in tone perfection and ensemble! Paul Martin

Quel orchestre et quel chef génial comme d'habitude avec hvk ce sont les plus grandes joies de ma vie et suis d avoir été son assistant pendant plus de 20 ans merci encore pour ces moments exceptionnels et je pense tous les jours à mon cher maître

Wow....James Galway's flute solo was one of the best that I've ever heard so far...

Thank you for sharing this amazing footage!!!

I love watching this so much, this is my favourite piece at all time and KARAJAN WAS DOING REHEARSAL AT MY FAVOURITE PLACE! Can't stop replaying and replaying! Anyone still watching in 2017?

Too perfect.It reallly is a masterpiece.GRAZIE MAESTRO!!!!

Michael, God bless you for finding these treasures and being kind enough to share them with all of us. Karajan was a rock star of a conductor. He had everything, including the look and the obvious genius to hear an entire score in his head. This is the kind of stuff you just can't find anywhere else. Subbed!

WOW! Understated POWER from the podium and extraordinary MUSICIANSHIP oozing from this great orchestra -- made my day :)

i love watching this. for their calibre rehearsal is more and more about feel rather than technical...amazing

Herbert von Karajan. What a legend !

18:52 Amazing flute solo by James Galway !

The sound that Karajan could get out of an orchestra is incredible.

Undoubtedly a great teacher of music, which brings great quality to the orchestral performance, from its warmth and demand.

Watching Karajan conducting with his eyes closed always amazes me

It was around the time of the honeymoon when the relationship with the Berlin Philharmoniker was the best. On the same level as the Vienna Philharmonic when Dr.Böhm conducts, however, this orchestra was truly a democratic, synergistic and sublime global international group of professionals under Karajan. Chef, Maestro Karajan had been planning those things. Of particular note is the fluent precision of phrasing and the functional beauty and depth of articulation. We can't listen it in other performances. even now. The freshness is extremely high. Conducting baton technique and drawing lines are also unique to Maestro Karajan. Clearly intelligent and skillful towing direction and balance. All complete memorization. Real professional. The Genuine of Genuine. Undoubtedly, the members of the orchestra are going to also individual, completely memorized level.😳😱 Karajan and BPh are all in a completely memorize state. After that, reconfirm the nuance expression. Just fly what the core means with a living organic vitality. The production that brings life is waiting. This philosophical aggregation! “…Now it's almost gone nowhere in the world. The stage is far from the chemistry of its philosophical integration and is becoming a mere Amusement Show that only butter up to Audience by psychological camouflage glamor because of its conductor's mental fragility.” I'm worried about it. In any case, This is the real thing. Karajan and BPh were Real much Genuines this time! Bouquets for Karajan’s ally, Dr.Böhm and WPh as well!💐 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rOCma9FeyqfNmYU.html

Para mim, Karajan foi imenso,insuperável na arte da interpretação dos maiores da Musica clássica!! Particularmente,ele representa o auge de uma época de ouro dos grandes maestros .Mas,foi na execução da obra Beethoven que ele alcançou o seu máximo!!!

Something of a gem this - many thanks for posting - refreshing, as Karajan infamously didn’t like showing players’ faces in his Telemondial films. Fascinating to see Jimmy Galway as first flute as well as Gerd Seifert first horn and Michel Schwalbé as concertmaster

Oh My God!! This is perfect!!

Karajan enjoyed many visits to Japan where he loved to take his BPO and especially due to his close friendship with the founder and then head of Sony Corporation, Akio Morita. This here is most probably a final dress rehearsal before the main event. Such rehearsals were held usually to see whether if the orchestra completely absorbed what was asked of them by the conductor. Karajan seemingly intended this concert to be as fine as one of his recordings which is probably why he organized the orchestra for a last minute fine-tuning of his interpretation of the pieces in the program. These were his golden years when he was at the apex of his illustrious career. The level of perfection is mind boggling in almost all his work pertaining to this period.

Bravo Karajan, bravo orchestra. Great rehearsal.

16:45 hilarious. 20:57 "Husssshhhh!!!" and afterwards looks of the 1st desk violin players to each other and to the back desks. 21:44 "Oh the clarinet! I should make the 'epic fail' face."

13:56 ,such a beauty....wonderful recording💖💖💖💫💫💫🎼🎼🎼💫💫💙💙💙

Uno de los grandes directores de orquesta del mundo...,exceptional...

non ho mai visto una direzione tanto approfondita come quella di karahjan

Una delle più belle sinfonie di Dvorak.

リハーサルでさえカメラワークに拘るのは流石ですね！カラヤンは今でもかっこいいです❗️この音に溺れてみたかったな❗️

Thanks for share it!

¡Fue y sigue siendo el más grande maestro de todos los tiempos!

日本でのコンサート　リハーサルですか? こんなビデオあるとはビックリです! このホールはNHKホールだと思います。1973年は私は東京で学生でした。 聴きたくて抽選に応募したけれどはずれて行けませんでした。 ウィーンフィルハーモニー、カール　ベームは行けましたが。 ああ、あの頃に戻りたい! そして、黄金期のベルリン・フィルとカラヤンの演奏聴きたかった! この頃は、素晴らしい音楽家が何人も来日公演していました。 このようなビデオをアップロードしていただき、ありがとうございました🎉❤

His stick technique is astonishing.

Karajan para mi gusto el mejor de los mejores Directores en el mundo.

The venue is NHK-Hall, Shibuya-Tokyo. Probably, the date is October 27, 1973, because it is a dress-rehearsal and the program on the evening included Dvorak's 8th symphony.

この音は、、、！？って思ったらやっぱりGalwayだった！！！！！

JAPAN? Rehearsal in formal attire! Thank you for the valuable video.

Even music i not always feel for,Karajan make me listen in a new way and understand the music better. Brynjar Hoff

Con los ojos cerrados dirigía Karajan todo un maestro

KARAJAN IS GOD! And what an orchestra!!

eleganza magistrale nel dirigere e suonare

MAGNIFICO

interpreta la musica e si puo sentirla nel cuore che batte meraviglioso

karajan you r the king

non solo dirige ma parla di musica con il viso le mani e gli occhi era supremo

This is not what is usually meant by the term "dress rehearsal". The orchestra assembled an hour or so before a performance likely to get the feeling of the hall's acoustic and touch on some details.

MERVEILLEUX !

LOVE every minute of this, but I'd give the slight edge to Karajan's 1980s digital recording (and accompanying Telemondial video) of this piece with the VPO. Mind you, I wonder how the concert proper sounded.

Always loved his hoopoe hairstyle

There is something classy at Karajan‘s No.8 Indescribable feeling Something indescribable

Спасибо.

che legato straordinario

I love his table mopping conducting style lol

delicato sublime fa sognare

Seriously, where did you find this stunning footage? I. Want. That. DVD. (!) Incredible rehearsal.

Palavras para que.O maior maestro do mundo,minucioso no reportorio e,com ele uma orquestra mais fraca toca quase tambem como a sua eterna Filarmonica de Berlim.

its,not an assumption, its written by the board if directors of the berlin po at that time and I think Simon rattle has also said this

The spiritual richness and solemnity with depth of Karajan‘s No８surpass any race, and time, and country🇯🇵㊗️💮⛩️🏯🎎🎌

GENIO!

21:27 "Schön!" Yeah, so true!

Anybody know what did he say at 13:07?

The "big" flute solo starts at 18:52. Galway (for some reason the camera is not on him at that point).

I saw Karl Leister!

Adorável... a partir de Angola.

Karajan still at the height of physical powers before the decline. OMG James Galway was still principal flute of the BPO!

He looks so dignified. He is a nobleman. Where is Karajan? He is the "Knight of Karajan."

One can hate or love Karajan , fact is he is the Callas on the Pult!

Now mroe than ever the maestro lives

Karajan the king of legato. I wish Simon Rattle would have more legato in his interpretations.

渋谷に新しいNHKホールができたときに来日されたものですね。カラヤンさん若い。

At 18:19, you can watch him physically embody the attenuation of the trumpt's note - his ear lifts as his whole being pinches the note away perfectly :)

Omg fantastic, what year are we talking about??

Très grand chef , très élégant, très fière voir hautain

partecipava con tutti i suoi sensi e muscoli alla direzione

postura magistrale

The flutist is James Galway

la delicatezza e l amore di un padre per ila figlia o figlio neonato questo era la musica per carajan

No solamente los que comentan en inglés,conocen a Karajan...

Herbert vorajan wie man ihm kennt voll konzenriert mit seinem berliner philharmonikern einfach klasse

この頃のゴールウェイのフルートは低音のEs/CisトリルKeyが付いていたんでしょうか？ ムラマツではないですな。

Das Können dieses Mannes ist unbeschreiblich und den Normalsterblichen unbegreiflich…. Gottähnliche Gestalt der klassischen Musik

bruckner, tchaikovsky, schumann, puccini as well

これはリハーサルじゃなくてゲネプロですね。正装してるし。 ここに至るまで何回も練習を重ねてるはず。 細かな点にまで注文をつけるので有名なカラヤンの、超きびしい練習風景はこんなもんじゃありません。

ESPLENDIDO

Handsome man

O, Karajan and Galway 🥲

This is the first time I've seen an orchestra and conductor dress up for a dress rehearsal. Usually you just wear your street clothes to these. I assume they did this because the concert was to be filmed, so that the director had some pick up shots in case he needed them.

la mia opinione e che sia stato il piu grande direttore di musica classica i gesti le braccia ed il volto lo evidenziano la musica con la M era il suo grande amore

molto raffinato

we have to note that Herbie was far ahead of the times in the coiffure department. While the orchestra sport some very 70's sideburns and beards, Mr von K is already well into some decidedly New Romantic styling. What a visionary! (just kidding ;-0 )

MARAVILLOSO

My favorite of the warhorses.

Is it the NHK hall in Tokyo?

0:40 4:46 13:51 17:22 19:38

per capire la meraviglia di karajan basta guardare il video muto e conoscere qualche nota troverai le note

❤️❤️

Life!!!!!!!

대단하다
