You know....I asked a musician friend how they got through the REALLY INTENSE portions. Watch Karajan just before the finial WINDUP and APPOTHESIS. He closes his eyes and goes into AUTO PILOT . I would not be able to function in such an intense atmosphere of BLISS and JOY.......he does.
Karajan le ha puesto letra a Beethoven, tal como destilan las imágenes de la grabación, que lleva el inequívoco sello Karajan, y la letra es: "Prietas las filas, / recias, marciales, / nuestra escuadras van / cara al mañana / que nos promete / Patria, Justicia y Pan".
Probably the most "on the edge" performance of Egmont ever recorded. This huge orchestra teeters on the edge of control, with an intense, barely constrained delivery. Some may feel this performance is over the top and too much - but you can't argue with its virtuosity and emotional impact. Not for the faint of heart (or ear). Go Beethoven!
Finally a conductor who actually follows Beethoven's Metronome markings. Spectacular
One of the most succinctly powerful and indeed, perfect pieces of music ever written! I love this version - then again, it is Karajan!
The size of the orchestra (brass especially) gives it an Orffian sound in the ff blasts, had never seen beethoven like this
One of the best versions, especially the intro !
Az 1956-os magyar forradalom zenéje lett. Gyönyörű, szomorú dallam.

Goosebumps!
This video is excellent quality - it should have much more views.
Thank you for posting.
Bella composición musical, Magisterial Dirección; ya sin dimensión.
Beethoven, Von Karajan, Berlin Philarmonic: Germans doing what they do better than anybody.
Karajan was Austrian ;)
Alberto Begue of Greek descent ;)
Beethoven + Karajan + Berlín philarmonic : the Best of the Best of the Best.......another example of germans being germans......
And Deutsche Grammophon Productions..

и если бы не гений Караяна, так бы и остался мне неведом бетховенский Эгмонт...
