It's a simple equation. Strauss + Rostropovich + Karajan = Beautiful :)

Appreciate twoset and oppa for sending me here

This IS DON QUIXOTE. This is another example of the greatness of an enlightened mind. Slava at his best, an orchestra which remains a paradigm, supernatural conducting and visual rendering of conducting art. No words to describe all this. "I cannot teach you to conduct but I can teach how to rehearse so that you will not need to conduct at all". Well, here is the "ganzen Unterschied".

This is incredible (in the true sense of the word - also, TwoSet sent me here as well 😎)

The part at 1:07 where all the upper strings are in unison with the cello is one of the most magical moments in all of music, gives me goosebumps every time

i love how twoset showing beautiful clips like that always lead to te community raiding the video i guess bringing amaaAAAaazing pieces like that to more people is their job now

"Cello, there" -Eddy Chen, May 2020-

after 4 years, I come back to this recording. I remeber that on 25th April 1989 I was watching tv and the RAI announced , with this music, with this movie, that Karajan had left the Berlin Philharmonic. And equally so, on 16th July the same year, they told us Karajan had left us for ever. This always reminds me of those sad moments. And this Music will always mean to me the "death of Don Quixote", the death of the Hero who leaves us to a superior, transcendent reality. Karajan was all this: he was ART itself. Two weeks ago, visiting once again Karajan's tomb in Anif and bringing a lonely rose to his graveyard, I imagined this music. And I still think and keep on thinking the Maestro is still with us, more powerful and alive as ever. Not dead, still alive. Still among us. The only one who was able to defeat death through the power and energy of His Art.

Here because of Rostropovich

Best music of all time to me best part of the best tune with the best cellist and the best orchestra and possibly the best conductor of all time. This is the first piece that made me cry! An absolute work of art.

Is it fine that I never heard of him before and my eyes just started to water from listening to this?

whoa the shots are framed so tight and they intensify the emotions

So heart-wrenching. Thank you, Richard Strauss, Rostropovich, Karajan, and Berlin Phil for gifting us this beauty!

I don't think there is anyone around today who can produce playing as exalted as this from an orchestra. Or a cellist who can play so with such compelling intensity and phrase so magically. Luckily, all of these performances were conscientiously preserved in fabulous recorded sound for those who appreciate them to discover in centuries to come.

Here because of TwoSet :) lovely lovely music. So soulful.

Divine... Karajan and Rostropovich... I can't believe I found this jewel!!!!

Thanks two set, this is so wonderful music

Wait... recorded in 1975?! This is extraordinary quality, film quality... wow. WOW.

Gotta appreciate not only the composer, conductor and musicians, but the camera direction, lighting and sound techs. What a magical 2.55 minutes! I actually held back tears! Such a beautiful moment.

The Berlin Philharmoniker - Karajan sound with the Rostropovich sound really works!

What a high resolution!!!

Hands down the best recording. They completely nailed it.

THE STARS NEVER DIE. NEVER.ROSTROVITCH AND KARAJAN THE BEST OF THE MUSIC WORLD HISTORY.

i always found this peace to be sublime… the staccato notes from the violins around the 2:00 mark always sounded to me like a man breathing his last breaths… truly a beautiful composition that captures the feeling of a death bed like none else… bravo!

Wow, absolutely stunning;

Such gentle sorrow. Just before the end, it's like there's a white feather gliding on air. So light.

I love the intensity of this.

unbelievable beautiful...Karajan and Rostropovich :-) Strauss the greatest Music- Genius of the 20 th. century...thx for posting:-)

Incredible camera work and editing!

I am crying 😍😭 this is so stunning beautiful 🔥 just in Love with this piece and this orchestra and ofcourse with this incredible soloist ❤️ so moving!! Thank you!!

Maravillosa interpretación

Magique. Avec une couleur de jubilation pas loin de la jouissance

Geniuses (and a sublime orchestra!) playing a poignant moment of the wonderful D. Quixote tone poem by the genius of Richard Strauss !

Ganz ganz fantastisch!!! Alle Daumen hoch!!!!!

TwoSet crew where you at?

Per me la più grande interpretazione

Amazing music ♥♫♪♥

Que suerte tienes Carlitos de saber captar esas expresiones con tanta sensibilidad.unabrazo

Twoset brought me here Truly beautiful

Class is always class, Karajan was a legend and will be.

Großartiger Moment der Musikgeschichte!

Perfecta. Una excelente obra de juventud interpretada por excelentes artistas adultos. Memorable. Buen escaneo de la partitura en IMSLP. Una versión para disfrutar partitura en mano.

I believe that the final scenes of don quixote shows a philosophical contemplation of the tragic hero's"ein heldenleben".Remembering of hero's noble spirit.A kind of greta human spirit.

Gorgeous music!!!

that single note at 0:19 makes me cry every time

BRAVO!

Thank you

Sublime . . .

Absolute pure class - nothing less

a masterpiece!!!

Super super génial plus beau ce n'est pas possible

Una obra de arte , que pieza musical

zauberisch ♥

Maestrissimo! Greatest of all times - Slava forever!

i love it

Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Geniuses!!!!!

death... just look at this music to comprehend how a tragedy form. from execution to falling the body of character on the ground. how the temperature of this music variate from warm living body to the cold ending of death? miraculous. wonderful.amazing. and then the spacial silence with memorable moment that doesn't allow revealed feeling to disparate. its wonderful. how to conclude this music is such a way that save our all of that we dreams touch though and feel and scenes. all of them collects with genius ending or more clear with genius conclusion. (1:58) i think its more upper on a novel tragedy.

Magic!

Hervorragend!!!

Perfect

Great,great ♫♪♥

this is like SO Straussian ! ❤

Encantado con la magia de KZfaq...

Two set sent me here, too! Love Slava, love/loathe Karajan, but this is ineffable! Go, Two set!

I feel like this would be something you would hear at the end of the old sleeping beauty movie. Or when they are at the ball.

Enchante`

It's all in the face

Whenever a video is invaded by TwoSet fans, you know it’s too late.

泣ける…

Does anyone know where I can buy the notes of Don Quixote for the Cello? I can only find excerpts for the orchestra...

Солнечный Слава! Великий!

Ein Meilenstein interpretatorischen Könnens!

Viva la Slava!!!

he is the Lord!!

1:43 I can listen a "That´s great!". Someone else?
