Wonderful performance. The passion and intensity in Runnicles' eyes at the end is amazing. Haefliger is terrific as the speaker. I like how he gives a little nod in Runnicles' direction during the applause as if to say "Well done maestro, that was good".
I heard Seiji Ozawa and the Boston SO do Gurrelieder in Carnegie Hall in the late '70s. After the concert I went next door for dinner. I was seated next to a violinist from the BSO. I asked him if he enjoyed playing the piece. "Are you kidding?," he replied. "Didn't you hear all that noise from the horns? It was deafening where I sat." I didn't have the heart to tell him I enjoyed the performance immensely.

+dovidovich Thankyou for the extra information. I've got the programme somewhere, but couldn't quite find it. It was my first televised Prom I'd played in.
+pelodelperro Thankyou, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The camera work is quite poor. It was in the early days of Proms on BBC4 and there were only 3/4 cameras, as opposed to the 10 cameras used on televised Proms nowadays. We didn't even get a TV fee that year, as they said it was an 'educational broadcast'!
Jesús Pérez Dámaso, yo las obras tempranas de Schoenberg las aguanto. Pues hallo en ellas una fuerte impronta wagneriana que me fascina. En concreto en los Gurre-Lieder encuentro unos cromatismos irresistibles. Que claramente me hacen pensar en Wagner y en Richard Strauss. Para lo que no estoy preparado aún es para sus obras directamente atonales. Eso sí que es para mí un ''tostón'', como dice usted. He escuchado música de Guillaume de Machaut a Arvo Pärt. Pero los compositores más atonales como lo son Schoenberg y demás de la Segunda Escuela de Viena no hay manera de digerirlos. Si algún día esto lo lograra sería para mí una satisfacción. Veremos a ver...
@@midas2017 Even in later life, Schoenberg composed some beautiful tonal (non-12-tone) pieces. I recommend taking a close look at his entire body of work.
This is probably the greatest rendition I have ever heard of Gurreleider. However, the sound recording is really poor for such a recent performance. I had to equalize the sound and suppress an annoying hum at 100 Hertz. Almost sounds like it was recorded on a cheap cassette tape. Great singers, though. I just loved the speaker/narrator. He would have been a great character on Hogan's Heroes! Hard to believe that this was written by the same guy who wandered off into 12-tone serial music. I think he wasted those years. Just think of the masterpieces we would be enjoying today if he had not gone berserk.

Bluebeard's Castle meets Four Last Songs meets Pelleas (Debussy). Make my day!
20 and 21 century atonal kids should learn this: you can disfigure tonality if you like, but first you have to master it.

Thanks so much for this !

Duncan Wilson Thanks for the info. Despite all the technical limitations, the music translates beautifully. Great job!
Fantástico
Where can I watch all proms of 2002?
Le choeur des vassaux surclasse tous les effets speciaux des films d'horreur et ne vous laisse pas un seul poil couché sur le corps.
How was it to play under Runnicles? I enjoyed his artistry for many seasons at SF Opera but sure the perspective is different from the "pit"!
¿Como puedo escuchar o ver la traduccion en castellano,sea en imagen o en libro?.Gracias anticipadas.
The National Youth Orchestra Prom of the work with Boulez was better filmed. Both performances are great to watch.
Vaya Toston compadre. Esto no hay quien lo aguante.

Why Labour must increase arts funding from 2024 .
I suggest aggravated twelve-tone: instruments must not play before not all other have played.
😅😂😅. That's called Pierre Boulez, the Stalinist of Ultra-Serialism.
Fase tonal do compositor
While definitely progress, when one hears this, one regrets Schoenberg's graduation to the 12 tone method of composing.
What do you mean exactly? I'd like to learn the difference!
