Super
very good, very unusual
The way he managed to pull and bring forth the precise harmonic sounds he desired from his musicians, much reminds me the condicting mastery of a Fürtwangler.
Vienna has changed a whole lot since 1977.
Better than most documentaries, this is excellent! Wow, thanks for uploading. Cheers from Alabama
Wunderbar. This is gorgeous , preposterous and thought provoking .All the qualities that Vienna comprises, nourishes and exemplifies and yet also contradicts. A beautiful and erudite documentary that seeks to inform and encourage further enquiry rather than to shock or belittle.

Excellent and informative, from times before the BBC was dumbed down and destructive.
Background music should stay in the background!
Reading Musil now: fantastic!
The Modern Ghan is a premium expensive cruise ship in comparison
A very important and interesting documentary, sadly ruined by unbearably loud music (& yes I was sporting headphones). 😒
Charming. I realised afterwards that the private clinic where I had a scan was where it was sited. I did wonder what used to be there in the past anyway because it’s almost small back roads and rounding a corner a small hospital.
Yikes. Poor UK. Culture vanishing even then. Not saying it's just as bad here in the US, but the UK is the size of one state here. :(
Jog on Dick!
A sh1thole then and a sh1thole today, and the music is awful, can't watch anymore.
Depressing…worshipping ego and man made culture instead of goodness and real beauty such as nature and science.
Quite an enlightenment "age of reason" critique.
@@stuartwray6175 :)
The range and subtlety of this puts modern documentaries to shame. You have to work to keep up. So much better than the current “Join me on my exciting quest to…” blah blah blah. “The Shock of the New” is also great and of the same era.
The ancestors are wise thank u so much for this master piece Moore Dagbang kingdom to the world.
What year was this made? Looks like the early 80s.
1977 in the last credit
若き日のマエストロの指揮姿を拝めて大変興味深かった。「ワルキューレの騎行」に乗って突然日本公演のシーンになったのでびっくりしたw マエストロは現在の日本においても深い敬愛の対象です。
My great great grandfather was a policeman there at the time of the ripper.
Mravinsky is my favorite conductor, his videos inspire me more than anything else. Is there somewhere that I could purchase DVDs of his conducting? I am not sure where to look.
How old is this documentary?
Looks like it’s from the 70’s
found this by reading "the sound of rebellion" by peter kemper , germany reclam 2023, page 161
I really enjoyed this. Far from typical blues documentary. Great to see Charles Brown and Joe Liggins in particular.

where are these images from? Is it West Africa?
Fascinating different Yiddish dialects. Some Galician i belive and the last two more Germanic. ❤
The legendary Nana Kwame Ampadu and Agya Koo Nimo. Nana has gone to be with the Lord last year, but Koo Nimo is still alive. Thank you for keep these Ghanaian legends alive.
God bless the Moore Dagbamba
At 29:34 you find yourself whistling the theme music from the Harry Palmer spy movie, "Funeral in Berlin" - because that's where it opens...
Seriously, this immigration caper has to stop. Just everybody please stay in your own country.
Immigration is a feature of humanity for millenia you illiterate
Didn't take me long to scroll down and find a idiotic racist. Immigration? Do you want to send the foreign doctors and nurses back and then watch the NHS collapse? So, it's ok for Brits to immigrate ?
Thank you for sharing this gem.
Dagbon kingdom still up holds it integrity and dignity for involvement, long live Dagbon. RIP our forefathers amen!
Cant watch it. Music ruins it. Too loud and unecessary
The wildness and beauty of the inhospitable australian outbacks always interested me. This old charm rail video proved quite informative more about it's history. Many a time before the name GHAN railway in Australia had me thinking about it's peculiarity but never aroused in me the need to check the mystery behind its origin, and here in this wonderful doc i learnt about the GHAN history 😆.
Communautarisme is the best thing for a country.....
Who is the director of the documentary? Thanks
You really hate the cultural life of Vienne.
Black suit White shirt White Shoes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you yourself an imagen only.
'an imagen only'?
You talk about prostitución, look into your victoria era, you are very ignorant, you never not Page of Mr. Freud. The only thing for me to do is vomiting.
The more stupid and ignorant comments from a feverish anglo.
Мне кажется - Мравинского нельзя называть аристократом...Он великий дирижер , музыкант и служил своему отечеству СССР
Вам это кажется.
Great conductor. Soviet? Yeah but in the elite. Anyway he was great human being, not politically involved like Gergiev, Obraztsova, Nesterenko and Temirkanov
