- Beethoven Symphony 3 comparison between 5 conductors
1. Claudio Abbado
2. Alondra de la Parra
3. Wilhelm Furtwängler
4. Leonard Bernstein
5. Herbert von Karajan - Zábava
The clear winner for me is Karajan way up above the others. As for my second best, it is Alondra de la Parra, excellent finale!
Wilhelm Furtwangler really have an elegant fire within the sound he conducts, like a flow of of energy
Karajan e furtwaengler i migliori per intensità ed espressività
Furtwängler far, far above everyone else. His war recordings remain unsurpassed, even though Karajan and Bernstein really gave their all in the finale. Karajan's Eroica recordings remain the benchmark in stereo for me, brilliant playing all around and great power, too. He is often defamend nowadays as merely superficial in Beethoven- claims which are immediatly proven to be false when one watches his utmost investment in the music displayed in this video clip.
Bernstein is also amazing and original- astounding how he expressively shapes and crafts every note and chord- albeit he does not quite achieve the power, grandeur and solemnity Karajan and especially Furtwängler conjure.
The two others do well, but don't manage to really extract the most out of the finale. Furtwängler, Karajan and Bernstein clearly protude, showing why they are considered to be three of the greatest conductors of all time.
Alondra de la Parra
furtwangler is very good, but those horns at the beginning drag it down a bit for me...
Karajan Uber alles,poi,nell'ordine De la Parra, Lenny,Furtwangler, Abbado(il bell'addormentato).
Furtwängler: Beethoven is an eagle soaring above all!
Karajan: Beethoven is playing the piano at a bar hugged by the mob!
De La Parra: powerful modernist, “Beethoven the nasty” (in a good way)
Abbado and Bernstein: my mother and I on our way to a nursing home, each with a broken hip! Boring!
企画としては面白いが、部分的に切り取っての比較は真の芸術を評価できず、無意味だ。
特に、対象の中の本命であるフルトヴェングラー は、楽譜全体を俯瞰した上で再現演奏の中の頂点を設計する芸術家であり、フィナーレだけで良し悪しを判断できるわけがない。
しかしながら、フィナーレだけを切り取られても断然素晴らしいのはフルトヴェングラー だ。
こんなに混然一体化した音を鳴らせる指揮者を私は知らない。音のハンデキャップを超えている。
かのクレンペラーがたしか言っていたが、フルトヴェングラー が早逝したのは当時の指揮者にとっては福音だっただろう。
人類の音楽芸術は後退の一歩を辿り、リスナーの我々は絶望するばかりだが。
あと、これはおそらくだが、投稿主はカラヤンが好きなのだろう。投稿内容からの推察だが。
ただ、カラヤンはオケの仕上がりと録音が素晴らしいだけに、フィナーレだけ切り取ると本当に素晴らしい。あと、女性指揮者も最高だ。それを知ることができただけでも、この投稿には凡百の中でも意味があると思う。
Completely true, this is more a project showing how much conductors and orchestras influence the playing of the score. Thank you for commenting, really!
Also I am careful of not posting to many long excerpts as they have got copyrighted in the past, greetings!
