This is the most vital performance of Brahms' 2nd that I've ever heard. There are certainly broader and more romantic performances. I admire many of them, like Giulini's Los Angeles performance, which has an inner integrity and is deeply satisfying in its own way . But what sets this aside is Kleiber's combination of brisk and lively tempi with rhythmic nuance and transparency of the inner voices. In doing so, he recreates Brahms' architecture in an exciting, bracing, and still moving way. Because of that transparency and phrasing, nothing feels rushed. We know that Brahms preferred not to prescribe tempi and metronomic markings. So there is no "right" way to play this astonishing music. But this is a performance for the ages.
Upon listening to the final 3 minutes of this performance, Brahms says: At first, I thought to myself, "No, no. this isn't what I meant." Later on, I came to realize, "Yes, yes, this is in fact exactly what I meant" :-)
He really knew how to build and build and conserve energy until a massive release at the very end. The final bars are SO LOUD, ditto the final bars of mozart 36 linz, the energy is just electric and everyone in the room can feel it
Wow. Extraordinary -- I've heard lots of Brahms 2 recordings, but this surpasses them all. Magnificent.
A grand performance from end to end.The fourth movement, as conducted by Carlos Kleiber, spoils one's desire or tolerance to hear it played any differently than with gusto, bravado, sonority, and tempo as played here. I know of no other great conductor who was a drummer before he became a conductor, but Carlos Kleiber was a drummer. If you listen again, especially to the 4th movement, you'd appreciate his connection to drumming. I can very well imagine that Brahms, upon hearing this symphony played, as we've just heard, and more particularly, the 4th movement would throw down his cigar and jump up at the conclusion with the loudest of "Bravos" one has ever heard. Thanks for uploading. Sheer joy.
Thanks for the great comment. Glad you enjoyed the performance. I believe Simon Rattle began as a percussionist, by the way.
@@Music-Lover I didn't know that, but I'll listen more carefully for anything Sir Simon conducts to se if there's a "bias" toward drumwork (which I LOVE!) Thanks!
A great orchestra and equally inspired maestro!
Quel phrasé et quelle motricité de la part du Wiener, le tempo adopté par Kleiber est tout simplement stupéfiant tout est bien en place, magnifique enregistrement !
Quel phrasé, quel phrasé ............... sans doute le plus beau formellement parlant que j'aie pu entendre. Obsessif de beauté.
One of the most underestimated conductors ever. Outstanding....
The public wants clowns like Karajan, not real music.
Kleiber was not underestimated, certainly not in Europe, he just made himself rare.
@@Fritz_Maisenbachernothing wrong with Karajan's music, though. He was way better than Kleiber and had a way wider repertoire. A clown? I don't know, he definitely was a superstar and I don't hate him for that
Beautiful Kleiber, and Brahms, homage to mozart's 39, and beethoven's eroica, so beautiful...
Incandescent.
Wunderbar
Μαγευτικό Kleiber, όπως πάντα!
Thanks.
You’re welcome!
I think it's a recording of live performances only, not video
As I bet Johannes himself might well have said, "Too fast meine liebe."
I think this is the 1992 live performance whose video is available in DVD (and also in TH-cam)
No. It is really "20 March , 1988". DVD is "6-7 Oct. 1992"
Exactly !
Forse bisognerà ribattezzare l ' Everest Kleibert ...
Merci beaucoup, j’ai déjà mis en ligne la 36e de Mozart, mais j’ai un problème sur mon disque et je n’ai donc pas pu la poster...
Where is the live video? 😏
I don’t collect video, so if it exists, I don’t have it.
I can't find it either. It looks as if it has been removed even though it was available for several years. A great pity.
So true! I recommended it to people in my orchestra, who promptly couldn't find it. I used to watch it quite often. A real.pity.
@@uliwidmaier5192 Same here. I've lost count of the number of times I watched it.
A wonderful performance by a wonderful conductor.
I can't understand why anyone would want it removed.
I, too, was looking for the video of this performance, which clearly showed the remarkably tight rapport between conductor and orchestra. The VPO and Kleiber were thoroughly lock and step together throughout the symphony, lending it an amazing sense of urgency that never went off the rails.
残念ながら、ほめられた出来ではない。この曲の心情は鬱蒼とした北ドイツ人ブラームスの明るく燦燦とした太陽が降り注ぐ南イタリアへの憧れの感情にある。それを一番体現できたのが若きアバドのカンタービレに満ちた録音（1967年、ベルリンフィル）であり、憧れの感情を表出するのがフルートだが、全盛期のジェイムズ・ゴールウェイがみごとだ。汗水たらすベームのライブ演奏もこの意味でアウトである。
1967 (?) You will say 1970
