The problem with Carlos Kleiber is that after hearing his conducting of any piece, one never wants to hear anyone else's version--because he does not create a version, only the music itself....

+Johann Schneider is planning to post a complete translation of this eventually. Meanwhile, here is a translation of part of it -- beginning at about 1:46 and going to about 3:46. Kleiber: Deeda deeda dubda dubda dah … tss! There should be a percussion. There is only a percussion for 1?” Male voice: “The fifth bar, it has a percussion.” Kleiber: “It’s certainly always nice and loud, but there, in the areas where one should box an ear, there is nothing. Do you know why? On this Zampapa, is there nothing?” (Male voices in background talking about a bar.) Kleiber:”Well, in Bavaria we had … back then we had… Okay, then…” Male voice: “Just a moment, that should be possible.” Kleiber:” Do we have the repeat sign?” Male voice: “Before the repeat sign, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…the ninth bar, there is a percussion.” Kleiber:”Is there nothing on 1?” Male voices, all talking at the same time, but one clearly audible: ”…very normal, there is nothing to indicate an accent. That’s the whole problem.” Kleiber: “And who plays 1? Who? Cymbals? Yes, well, a little nasty knock on the ear right there. Tatata chim! I’ll sing it alone. Lets play from the beginning.”
This is Vienna philharmonic. I recognize the concert master. Such an open discussion between the player and conductor. All for the sake of music. Although I can’t understand German but I think this is what’s all about .
Poignant that this was just 7 months before the tragedy, and that he ended up performing his last new year's concert for the year he was to die😢 It is also perhaps one of the rare opportunities to hear his voice at 1:26, 1:58-2:10, and 2:53-3:00, though the camera doesn't show him directly at those scenes.
@@mooriable Absolutely. He seemed to be extremely keen as well to try to keep CK´s patience as much as possible. He could lose temper easily when things were not understood quickly. So here you can see how Hetzel tries to help the percussionist to find the passage and show Kleiber at the same time, that the orchestra wants to play exactly as he would like them to do so.
Unbelievable how Kleiber speaks to the drummer and means, guides and thus educates the orchestra, the famous Vienna Philharmonic one, where Vienna Waltz is intrinsic. Outstanding!

There seem to be only three items of rehearsal online of Carlos for the 1992 New Years Concert. I wonder why. I have read he didn’t like being filmed in rehearsals. Maybe this is why. Our loss. Kleiber is so relaxed and natural here, especially in the waltz Tausend Nacht und eine. He just radiates his love of it all to all of us and it is in his whole demeanour. Thank you.
Yeah, CK usually never allowed anyone to watch his rehearsals (he’d have his “thugs” check the halls before he began) let alone film them! So this was a surprise for sure. From what I’m able to gather, these rehearsal videos were filmed on 29th December 1991, the final rehearsal of the new year’s concerts and it was a favour granted to Marcel Prawy, who turned 80 that day. He was the chief dramatug in the Vienna state opera in the 1970s, and he was known in austria and Germany alike for introducing viewers to opera on the ORF channel with a wild sense of humour, ( his humour being something which would have appealed to CK.)
Un trésor précieux que ces moments faisant partie de l'histoire de la musique avec ce chef d'orchestre de génie qu'était Carlos Kleiber. Merci beaucoup pour le partage de cet excellent document!
@magnifier2020: Was bedeutet Probe? Das sind alles Spitzenmusiker (Wiener Philharmoniker). Jeder Dirigent wäre töricht, wenn er deren Meinung ignorierte. Es gilt im Sinne des Werkes das Beste herauszuholen. Dies ist für mich exzellente Probenarbeit, die den Vergleich mit Karajan (den ich nicht so sehr schätze) und Furtwängler nicht zu scheuen braucht.
He's talking about with Bavarian State Orchestra he does it THIS way....Vienna has a bit more raucous, less tight thunder, Bavaria sounds like machine gun fire.
It might be the rehearsal for new-year-concert 1992. The Concertmaster in this rehearsel is still Gerhart Hetzel, who died about seven months later in July 1992 after an accident while hiking in the mountains.
gegen ihre meinung spricht, dass kleiber seinen musikern noten gab, bei denen er bis ins letzte detail alles fein säuberlich notierte, was er als klang haben wollte. sollte irgendein musiker seine zusätzlichen ansagen in den proben trotz allem nicht verstanden haben, dürfte es an dessen mangelndem Horizont gelegen haben und nicht an ihm. Furtwängler und Kleiber liefern die interessantesten Klänge, Karajan schaffte das Außergewöhnliche, aus der Menge aller Aufnahmen Herausragende leider zu selten
@emilio65largo Das Problem hierbei war, dass wie Carlos selbst sagte, er die "Halodrio"-Fassung aus Bayern mitgebracht hatte, aber die Wiener Philharmoniker die Urschrift verwenden! Dort fehlen eben genau die Noten, die Carlos so gewohnt war! Eine herrliche Probe, die diesen Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Versionen aufzeigt! ;) Und nein, der Dirigent hat nicht immer recht! :P
magnifier2020 Ich habe wohl verstanden was er haben will und zwar deutlichst . Anscheinend verstehst nur Du es nicht - aber was spielt es für eine Rolle?
haha l'ironia finissima di "wuerden Sie die originale Bayreuther Fassung lassen" toll!!!! solo il Konzertmeister (che sarebbe morto dopo 6 mesi precipitando da una montagna) l'ha capita e sorride.
+Andrea Dobetti I agree. And every time I see pictures of this Konzertmeister I think of that terrible, tragic accident which took him from us too soon.
+Pathatique Dvorak Gerhart Hetzel died in 1992 after falling whilst walking in the mountains. He was an extremely fine violinist and orchestral leader and his death was a shocking event for the VPO.
IamNoMan776 "Stiff,narrow-minded group of musicians".....?? How insulting and obviously you never knew any of them, because your ignorant comment certainly does not apply to this lively interesting lively first class orchestra.
yeah, what a human being: wasting rehearsal time because he cannot count bar numbers to give to the cymbal player, instead insistent on beatboxing to the guy what he wants, and then acting frustrated when the guy has no idea where to strike. quite the humanity. everyone else is sitting there all, "Wann bitte ist Mittagspause?!?!" SHAMEFUL AS USUAL KLEIBER
It's okay Frank, you're musically insufficient and stupid, and that's absolutely fine. Who are you to criticize one of the greatest 20th-century conductors? Whom have you conducted? when you conduct the most important classical event of the year then you can come and criticize. Otherwise, shut up.
The problem with Carlos Kleiber is that after hearing his conducting of any piece, one never wants to hear anyone else's version--because he does not create a version, only the music itself....
I can't stop laughing when he's trolling the Viennese with his "... In Bayern ..." :D
This is so precious that nobody will ever have any idea!...
gone far too soon.the man was a genius
練習番号２の９小節前１拍目のベッケンの音符について、フィルハーモニカーのパート譜とマエストロがバイエルンの劇場で慣れているパート譜の記述が違っていて、そこを何度も確認しておられますが、最後は自分がミュンヘンからパート譜を持ってくればよかったねということで落着してますね。
Quelle joie immense de revoir Carlos Kleiber en répétition!! Quelle émotion de l'entendre à nouveau!!!

Yes. The concertmaster was Gerhart Hetzel. Sadly, he died in a mountaineering accident in 1992..

Kleiber discusses interpretation with orchestra members. Unlike the usual conductors that do all the talking. More collaborative.

Many thanks for important info, unfortunately we loose great musicians as him this way, thank you again!
Prof. Zamazal dead 2016. I dont like the young cymbalist of VPO. Zamazal was the best.
At one point Kleiber asks, “nur Anfang” . . . from the beginning?
There is a version with full translation at czcams.com/video/EgaFotDzEtc/video.html. Perhaps that is helpful for you?

The Viennese aren't rhythmically precise like the Berliners. But they make up for it with more lush and 'singing'.
Kleiber had such suave conducting in Strauss, putting the third rate Barenboim, Ozawa, Mehta, Abbado to shame....
What's the music that they're playing?
+João Maria Vasconcelos Fontes de Barros Taveira Unter Donner und Blitz
Kleiber was a breath of fresh musical air in a normally stiff, narrow-minded group of musicians.
Would it be air to refer to the Wiener Philharmoniker this?
