This is not only music but also philosophy, Furtwangler captured every tone perfectly from the orchestra and Menuhin responded to him to the last breath
It took me years to rightfully understand the difference between great performance and truly transcendent performance (I am a hack piano player myself and used to get confused/intimidated between my own ability level and that corresponding to the musicians you hear on published recordings, as well as having the youthful, arrogant ranking of composers vs performers, no one who played another's music must be as good as the original, right? I laugh at my own old thoughts...) but, similarly to Richter's 1961 Chicago Brahms Piano Concerto 1, this is an absolutely world-shattering collaboration and most likely the best of the century...
Душа моя трепещет от музыки,исполненной на Таком высочайшем уровне. Да будут благословенны имена их на все времена! Это-подарок: услышать Такой концерт. Спасибо,Вам, за него. 15.10.2020.
There is a live performance by Szigeti with the NY Philharmonic conducted by Mitropoulos that rivals this one, but it's the only one, and Menuhin, who recorded it at least twice more (with Kempe and Masur), did not again reach this level of execution or spirituality..
Menuhin was the most over-rated ever! Better are Jascha Heifetz(More colorful violin sound than Menuhin!) Henrik Szeryng(More powerful than Menuhin) Itzhak Perlman(better technique than Menuhin!) Leonid Kogan(warmer violin sound!) David Oistrakh(better structure for music!)

Deslumbrante interpretación del Excelentísimo y Prestigioso Violinísta ; ejecuta la maravillosa Obra Maestra con un un impresionante y arrollador Nivel interpretativo y un sonido de Excelencia .
This reminds me that Menuhin was a great advocate for Furtwaengler at a time when this was not acceptable to be his supporter. He talks about this in Unfinished Journey.
@@maestroclassico5801 Oh? When Furtwaengler had to flee to Switzerland to avoid being arrested and God knows what after? That's profit? Besides, Menuhin was a true human being. He had no time for political ideology and related claptrap in either music or life. I met Menuhin on three occasions, having really interesting and indeed humbling conversations with him. He was a very, very special human being! Furtwaengler I never met, being too young. But judging by his music-making I think both he and Menuhin were pretty much on the same living wavelength.
@@kenfisher1346 Well I once saw a documentary hosted by Menuhin and other interviews and I could agree with everything you said about him. Furtwangler fleeing? I saw a video on here of him conducting the Berlin Phil in 1945 within 3 months of the end of the war. When was he about to be arrested? I could see him fleeing to Switzerland to avoid being in Berlin at the time of the allied invasion perhaps....but YES....he made money from the Nazi regime. If you have a source of him being under the threat of arrest from the Third Reich toss me a source and I'll edit my post....perhaps there is something to what you say as he was "denazified" pretty quickly and right back at it. But no Menuhin was a humanitarian that much is certain.
Actually the story of Furtwängler under the Third Reich is much more complex than people think. It's true that Furtwängler profited from the Third Reich in the sense that he remained the conductor of the Berlin Phil. And btw, he did flee to Switzerland three months before the war ended, he was warned that he will be arrested by the Gestapo. The reason was that he knew a lot of people in the resistance movement who were involved in the assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944, including Stauffenberg. In fact Furtwängler knew about Stauffenberg's plans to kill Hitler. The Nazis had long held back when it came to Furtwängler because he was so prominent but he couldn't expect this situation to last. Furtwängler profited from being the greatest German conductor during the Third Reich. And the Third Reich gained prestige by having someone of Furtwängler's artistic standing remain in Germany whereas most other great artists had fled. However, Furtwängler tried to keep away from politics, he didn't want to be seen as Hitler's loyal servant. He went to extraordinary lengths to avoid having to do the Hitler greeting at concerts for example. There are reports of violent arguments between Hitler and Furtwängler, with Hitler threatening to send him to a concentration camp and Furtwängler answering 'at least I'll be in good company.' Furtwängler tried to protect the Jewish musicians in his orchestra. He refused to fire them for a long time and he even invited Jewish star musicians from other countries to perform in Berlin. He saved some of his musicians by helping them to flee the country. When he was giving concerts in occupied countries during the war, he donated the money he was paid to resistance movements. When he gave concerts in Prague, he'd play exclusively Czech composers. There are lots of stories like this that prove that Furtwängler tried to resist wherever he could. You can still argue that Furtwängler shouldn't have lend his prestige to the Nazis but in the end, he did help a lot of people and he wasn't an easy or willing subject to the Nazis. In fact Goebbels absolutely despised him. What saved Furtwängler for a long time was his fame as the greatest conductor of his age (together with Toscanini).
@@hansmahr8627 Very Very Interesting. He actually got into it with ol' Adolph himself? WOW! He's lucky he wasn't shot on the spot. And he personally knew Stauffenberg....VALKYRIE Stauffenberg? and of the assasination plot. Amazing. It's such an interersting topic as he was denzified relatively quickly but then again he was the best "box office draw" in Germany. It seems as though some other conductors took LONGER to get approval then WF.

Merci. La cadence du mvt 1 n’est pas celle que l’on entend d’habitude il me semble. En tout cas c’est romantique pas à peu près. On aime ou on n’aime pas ; moi j’aime.
@@toshishirabe6826 Merci. C’est drôle, je n’avais jamais fait le rapprochement, pourtant évident, entre Fritz Kreisler le violoniste et les automobiles Chrysler.
I`m not a musician, nor would I call myself an "expert", but I know this piece from various other conductors. It didn't belong to my favorites of Brahms, I have to admit. The reason is, they all play ist too "static" and too "direct". Only here it is really "lively". It is a totally different kind of music, far away from Solti, Karajan ect. They have all failed with the true spirit of Brahms. Only this very "subjective" Interpretation is able to grasp it. Though almost wagnerian conducting style, I can hear real melodies, almost like in a german "LIed". Very sad ones of course. But with the others I can't...
What you describe is why Furtwängler appeals to many of us. At his best, he saw things in the music that others did not. Menuhin recognized that vision and achieved a beautifully symbiotic meeting of minds in this performance.
Haha, 1000x Menuhin against technic freaks like the cool ice chunks. I cannot feel for the technicians, but Menuhin’s warmth of sound and expressions have an infinite soul that touches. A sense of musical coherence, the right accents and the courage to take risks are true sensations; musicians who just rattle off need not listened to at all, they have nothing to communicate except their bravura, for which they have practiced. Music begins where communication is understood. You can’t tell me that Menuhin’s Intonation is weak here, he has also succeeded this concerto, which is one of the hardest and then this incredible correspondence with the orchestra and devotion to Brahms.
I was listenning to gallant classical music from late Baroque era just a min ago, honestly guys it makes the romantic one sounds bit shitty!! With all my sincere respect!
Tarik, calling a masterpiece like Brahm's violin concerto "sh...ty" sounding, says more about your taste in music than it does about Brahm's music. Or shall I rather say, your lack of taste, since you seems to be stuck in the Baroque era. And now feel obliged to insult the musical taste of the rest of us who can appreciate the greatness of the Romantic era's music. As for the comment of Maestro_T below that "classical music has been on a downward trajectory for about 200 years now", nothing can be further from the truth than that statement. Apart from a few decades here and there, where classical music did seem to get stuck in one gear for a short while, it always got out of the whole again through new brilliant composers coming to the forefront. In fact, contrary to common believe, not even during the last 50 years has classical music composing been in a downward spiral. It is still vibrant and healthy in our own times.

Two immortals making beautiful music. Rates with the best Brahms VC performances among the multitude I've heard.
This is also one of the very best of Furtwangler's recordings. The climax in the slow movement is among the most shattering moments in recorded music.
It's a miracle that the incomparable Jewish violinist and the also incomparable German conductor made such a perfect performance in the same place.
Also the fact we can listen it so perfect 73 years afterward. I nice gift.
It took me years to rightfully understand the difference between great performance and truly transcendent performance (I am a hack piano player myself and used to get confused/intimidated between my own ability level and that corresponding to the musicians you hear on published recordings, as well as having the youthful, arrogant ranking of composers vs performers, no one who played another's music must be as good as the original, right?
