Ich bin sehr glücklich, in Frankfurt dabei live gewesen zu sein, zusammen mit meinem Vater, der ein großer Verehrer von Bruckner und unserem Landsmann Skrowaczewski war. Diese Symphonie ist fantastisch!. Mein Vater ist leider dement, liebt weiterhin Musik und ich werde ihm dieses Video zeigen, auch wenn er sich an unseren gemeinsamen Abend damals nicht mehr erinnern kann.
Even though I had been a classical music aficionado for years, I didn't hear Bruckner's 9th until the early 60s. It was a beautiful summer night in Duluth, I had just closed the UMD observatory, and was heading for a party where I expected to meet my girl friend of those days. I was driving my first car, a 1958 Jaguar XK-150 convertible. Top down I was buzzing along the Skyline Drive, radio playing what turned out to be the last half of Bruckner's 9th. All of my emotions were in tune, and receptive to what I heard next. It was the final bars of the 3rd movement - that long brass clarion call. I pulled over and wept. It reminded me then, and still does, of Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" Crossing the Bar By Alfred, Lord Tennyson Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, "One clear call for me". The last bars of the 9th couldn't possibly find a better match. I was in my early 20s then. There has been a lot of life since then, and suddenly, I find myself to be 81 y.o. The 'bar' looms ever closer. If I'm lucky, I'll meet my end on the bicycle trail, or in the arms of my beloved wife. But whether I am listening to an actual performance, or just playing it in my head, those final bars will see me to my fate.
Wow...Heavy, dude! I'll be at 81 in 6 years but (after a dignified senility) it'll be the final 5 minutes of either Bruckner's 4th or "Cherevichki" that'll be my siren call to cross the Hades upon zephyrs and into well-deserved Oblivion. Greetings from Tepoztlán!

I first heard this piece, and that wonderful clarion call at the end, in the early '60s. I was in college, very nerdy, driving my first car, a Jag XK 150, along the Sky Line Drive (Duluth, MN), top down, late at night, feeling like a king. I had just locked up the college observatory and was heading to a party - with Actual Girls. That ending just took my breath away. Girls, stars and Jag were forgotten in a moment. I wasn't to meet Stan until many years had passed. Now I am near 80. Stan is no longer with us. That final call reminds me of Lord Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" - "Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea" That Last Clear Call could have been written for Stan. I wish it were for me.
I have never heard an orchestra care more about what they are doing than in this performance. A perfect response to perfect leadership. I love the respect the audience gave by delaying their applause for such a long time.
Ja, das ist erstaunlich. Es scheint, dass die Musiker alle ganz genau verstanden, was Bruckner sagen, klagen, bitten wollte. Inspiriert von einem verehrungswürdigen, weisen und lebenserfahrenen Leiter. - Wenn ich da an die missgelaunten Gesichter der Orchestermitglieder bei Celibidches Proben denke. Dabei zeigte er nur mit Geduld und Verantwortungsgefühl, was Bruckner sagen wollte.
I have heard many BBC proms concerts. for many concerts, audiences are so enthusiastic and sometimes start applauding almost before the piece is finished. Does the long wait before applause mean apathy or enthusiasm?
@@richardwhitehouse2810 I think the silence means enthusiasm restrained by respect. Last time I heard this at the Proms was mid 80’s, Haitink I believe, but cannot remember if we were respectful of the fact that Bruckner dedicated his last Symphony to God and maintained the long silence. Probably not.
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, October 3, 1923 - February 21, 2017 It was my great privilege -- and treat -- to have been in the audience at Symphony Hall in San Diego in the mid-eighties to hear Skrowaczewski conduct a concert that included a stunning performance of Anton Bruckner's 7th (with the cymbal crash). Afterward in the Green Room, I thanked him for a glorious performance, and also for one of my cherished recordings, the one he made with Artur Rubinstein of the Chopin 1st Concerto. He lit up with a smile from ear to ear and said, "Ah, Artur; we had so much fun making that record," then clasped my hand. Rest In Peace, Maestro. And again, thank you.
I saw him conduct Bruckner's 7th Symphony in E Major last Friday night in Wroclaw, and it was amazing. Not only my first listen to the composer but to see this 92-year old maestro stand and conduct for 80+ minutes was incredible!
As others have commented here, I wondered why there weren't more people in the audience to hear this great symphony in a performance by this great Bruckner conductor. Many attempts have been made to complete the finale to this work, but none but the composer's vision could be satisfactory. For me, these three movements need no further statement; as it stands, it has an overwhelming power, beauty, and emotion, capable of plumbing the depths of the spirit The 'adagio's recurring three-note horn motif penetrating the orchestral fabric says more than do many complete symphonies. Bruckner called the symphony his "farewell to life", and did want to complete the finale; I believe he did complete it in the next life, and we may get to hear it in eternity. Maestro Skrowaczewski may be enjoying it now, in the company of the composer!
One reason for many empty seats in the 65€ section of the Alte Oper may have been the opening part of the concert, the conductor's own Passacaglia Imaginaria. To be watched here on TH-cam as recorded from that same concert night. A conservative audience in Frankfurt likes to be teased by a soloist playing Mozart or Beethoven prior to their prosecco intermission.
@@hansjuergenkohlhaas871 Once I was at a concert in Moscow where Brucker's 6th was played after some pieces from Liszt and Brahms as a warmup. Many left right before the symphony. People sitting next to me complained about Brucker's complexity and inexplainability. Pitied them. It was a christmas concert so prices were cosmic.
@@alexanderananchenko868 Wow, I attended a NY Philharmonic concert with Blomstedt doing Bruckner 6, and after the slow movement the guy next to me was literally snoring while his wife sitting next to him was filled with rapt attention, and uttered under her breath, That was so beautiful. It summed up for me the twofold reaction to his music, some don't get it and some do. Shocking as he is the greatest musical mind since JS Bach, and most adore him but many disparage Bruckner. It's bizarre.
Bruckner is for me one of the all time greats but many people find him bombastic (even Wagner who admired Bruckner called him "Herr Trumpet"). That, together with the length of his symphonies, turns some people away. I agree with you that the finale doesn't need to be competed. The third movement has enough drama that I'm not left feeling that more needs to be said.
The performance aside, seeing Skrowaczewski in this performance made me feel quite old, as I first met him when he was only 41. I can tell you from attending some of his rehearsals over the years that the musicians always enjoyed working with him.
Skrowaczewski - One of the greatest Bruckner interpreters of all, but his genius (and not only with Bruckner by any means) never seemed to receive the full recognition it deserved. I know this video has been here for several years now, but thank you for providing this example of his work - and with this great orchestra.
Fabulous! So wonderful. If you have just one friend who understands and adores Bruckner as you do, count yourself blessed. I'll be 80 in a couple of weeks. I wish I knew anyone who loves this music as much as I do. It's gratifying to see comments here from people who obviously understand this God inspired music.
The horns are controlled beautifully..with beautiful balance and rhythm...the orchestra is playing in a disciplined fashion...great pace as well...with absolutely no mush. God's music...and God's conductor...WOW...very touching...

I think playing Bruckner requires a lot of musical and intellectual maturity. I see in this performance a deep seriousness rising to light. Beautiful dialogue between gravity and melodic harmony.
I own several different versions of individual or complete sets of Bruckner symphonies on CD, Blu Ray, and DVD, but I found myself keep going back to the Skrowaczewski's CD set, and I hear new things every time. The man is a real genius and he is simply amazing to be able to still conduct at this level at his age.
+Remarkablerocks Isn't Skrowaczewski marvellous! As you say to give such a moving performance especially at his age is incredible. The music is so focused and alive. The secret of eternal youth!
Am enthralled by the beauty and power of this great performance. Would have loved to been there in person. Such a great conductor = now no longer with us.
Les symphonies de Brukner , et celle ci en particulier, ont toujours éveillé en moi d'intenses exaltations et émotions. Difficile de dire pourquoi exactement... Sinon que je partage aisément l'espèce de folie qui parcourt ce labourage symphonique qui donne à entendre aussi bien l'envol d'un rouleau compresseur que l'effleurement de la joue d'un ange endormi par un papillon. A moins qu'il s'agisse de cette douloureuse pulsation emballée, incontrôlable, celle de l'amour universel, qui s'empare de l'âme et la balade dans d'infinis escaliers à la fois montants et descendants ... Il me semble qu'il faille être enfant pour entrer en familiarité avec ces pages vertigineuses, ludiques, naïves et graves, contemplatives, pour s'enchanter dix fois de suite de la petite ritournelle qui, du sautillement guilleret va, s'amplifiant jusqu'à l'hébétude de l'assourdissement. Tout a été dit et écrit sur le "cas Bruckner", sur ses influences, et sur la dimension mystique de son oeuvre. (Et qu'importe ce que la psychanalyse peut aisément y trouver pour ramener les rouleaux compresseurs dans la boue et les papillons dans les boîtes). Peu de compositeurs ont su traduire à ce degré le sentiment d'effusion qui va de pair avec une puissante intériorité. L'espace et l'énergie que déploient les pages de Bruckner ne cessent de susciter mon étonnement, mon admiration et mes larmes . L'interprétation de Stanislaw Skrowaczewski qui, effectivement, n'accentue aucun effet, nous offre à simplement jouir de la mécanique artisanale sublime et folle de cette symphonie du déploiement. Horloger du Coeur ...
. Je suis comme vous. Bruckner est un magicien de l émotion symphonique. Mahler également. C est la paix de l âme qu il apporte. Si seulement cette musique pouvait être communicative auprès des excités qui dévastent la raison. Mais on va dire:trop fumeux, trop bourgeois, trop perché.
@@claudebender3236 Merci, Claude, pour votre écho ! Je me demande parfois, bien que ce soit un peu idiot, j'en conviendrais, comment tant d'occidentaux peuvent demeurer insensibles ou étrangers à des oeuvres musicales de cette nature. Certes, on invoquera des "orientations" ou des manques de culture, mais je pense que les vrais motifs sont d'un autre ordre, car il se trouve des personnes "simples", des enfants et même des animaux qui ressentent, vibrent, et tombent en extase, en joie, en pleurs. Il nous faut sans doute admettre que certaines personnes ont été spirituellement "castrées" et je crains que cela soit fréquent. Ainsi s'expliqueraient nos collaborations passives à tant de dérives, tant de méfaits ainsi que les passages à l'acte d'autres. On dit : "la musique adoucit les moeurs"... Je ne sais, mais elle touche ceux qui ont des aptitudes à la douceur, à l'intériorisation, à la dimension féminine, et offre une nourriture conséquente à ces esprits déjà réceptifs. Cette nourriture est une grâce indispensable pour tenir debout, ne pas sombrer, et la partager est un des plus beaux actes que nous puissions commettre. Si vous souhaitez poursuivre ces échanges en simplicité et en confiance, nous pouvons échanger une adresse mail.
@@ingemayodon5128 J'en suis fort heureux, Inge ! Permettre le partage d'oeuvres si merveilleuses ne peut être que joyeux ! Je me souviens encore de l'enchantement que j'ai vécu, adolescent, quand je découvris Bruckner, par sa troisième symphonie, dirigée par Eugen Jochum. Sentiment de découvrir, comme on dit, un "ovni" musical ! Cette musique m'emportait haut et loin, comme aucune autre. Chacune de ses symphonies m'enchante, mais avec le temps la neuvième devint celle qui s'avéra me correspondre le mieux, dans cette pathétique alliance d'humanité et de mysticisme.
@@franz5289 J'aime beaucoup Eugen Jochum aussi, le connais surtout comme chef d'orchestre grâce à Fritz Wunderlich, mon ténor préféré, comme vs le savez. Mais ceci est magnifique. Merci beaucoup.
I am currently reading Friedrich Schelling's "On the nature of human freedom". Anton Bruckner's music is like the soundtrack to it. Both texts are about the question of being. In both texts, the narrow view of natural science is once again broadened and taken to the absolute. Spirit and nature are still one here. That is why it touches us so deeply. Emotion and reason are still together here and in close embrace. It is like the music of what Schelling called "the reason for will" and the "reason for love", a music of the two principles that make creation possible in the first place. I would say that music is pure natural philosophy and predates the existence of man. For the capacity for freedom from good and evil is not yet decided in it. Both still condition each other in a harmonious way in order to create nature in the sense of the spirit. If it were music about man, it would not seize us, but shake us.
Really great! Fantasic performance, some details I never heard that beautiful. The climax of the third movement, one of the most increadible and deep touching works of mankind, breaks trought and the very end in E-Major has this "out-of-this-world" beauty. Chapeau! Frankfurt seems to be an important music hotspot, not only becsause of Gielen.
Good Lord!!! 24:50 A drop of tear just emerged from the lid of my eye. Bruckner indeed understood the mystery of Creator. It's not strange he was a bit crazy . :)
Une œuvre... poignante... Pas seulement la représentation satirique d'une société en declin, mais plutôt un discours bouleversé et boulversant d'une âme en peine perdue dans sa recherche de l'ataraxie... Merci pour cette somptueuse représentation.
Nel 94 suonai sotto la sua direzione una sinfonia di Lutoslawsky. Ricordo ancora vivamente la sua cortesia e umiltà, amore per la musica e profondo rispetto nei confronti degli orchestrali.
Here Bruckner 9 sounds light and unforced and not catholic. Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski has his unflashy and gentle way with this music and it works very well. The man was a pleasure to work with and liked by all. Thank you to all.
What a splendid performance. I first heard his 9th in the Albert Hall, with Haitink conducting the KCO. That was 1982/3. I have a Box with Eugen Jochum conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden in 1978. Just one remark. His 9th lasts only 60:46, while this performance is 64 minutes. The final Adagio is so beautiful, it doesn't matter at all.
Mit diesem Werk gelangt der Meister direkt vor Gottes Thron ✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 Herzlichen Dank, dass wir diese großartige Aufzeichnung hier sehen dürfen ✨✨✨ Gottes Segen !
It's shocking to see how many seats remained empty that evening at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. Who knows why. Maybe that old Maestro, Skrowaczewski, was considered... Too old, out of fashion. But I'm happy and glad that this wonderful interpretation has been recorded and it's available for everyone to hear and see. I'm sure it will continue to be considered in the decades to come as a document of exceptional importance.
Es gozo escuchar y ver dirigir a Stanislaw S. una gran obra maestra de la música de la mente y sensibilidad de A. Bruckner gran interpretación y magistral dirección.
I always fancy the coda to the first movement of this epic work to be akin to a locomotive coming to a stop. This was an incredible performance. Every layer comes through with piercing clarity. Absolutely masterful.
What a maestro and what an orchestra! Bruckner clearly teetered regularly on the borderline of schizophrenia (so what, one might retort to tedious bourgeois psychiatry), with his conversations peppered by remarks made to "my dear friend god". However, here, at last, in his 9th Symphony, he revealed, like the Catholic Holy Sacrament and the Act of Transubstantiation, his long-searched for musico-alchemist's formular. Unbelievably spectacular Wagnerian brass chorales fit to shake even the solidly uncomfortable seats at Bayreuth; meltingly seductive melodies stretched to often Baroque lengthiness; compelling rhythmical energy at times of Dvorak-ian bravura; complete mastery of string ensembles; a surprisingly Mahlerian flair for syncopated and even satirical Austro-Hungarian military band tunes; thundering full orchestral chords that do not just sound like tasteless transcriptions of multiple organ stops; and very decent understanding of woodwind timbres. As is commonly remarked (by whom, Andrea?), there are several celebrated passages where Bruckner's complete lack of key-diatonic-tonal centre, plus disturbing melodic drift and occasional outright alienating vacuum of melody ("a pointillism of half-ventured tone-rows"), and frank dissonance such as 11:25 - 12:00, directly prefigure Schoenberg's Pelléas and Mélisande; and furthermore were manifestly pointers by the composer's sensibility that music had crossed from the commonplace harmonic to the transcendentally symbolic. "All in the service and profession of what?" one hears from the flippant or finger-tapping jaundiced back rows of cynics, attending the cheaper musicology lecture halls. A galactic and indeed quasi-Buddhistic vision of a world swept clean of every trivial human passion - "what is for tea, where is my mobile to call Janet about tomorrow's shopping at Selfridges, where are my M&S knickers? Do I grow old and shall I wear the bottoms of my stonewashed jeans rolled?" Because we have utterly and consummately and irreversibly been reunited with the absolute transcendental divine! The actual embodied female absolute divine, in my womanly opinion! "Her eyes incendiary with 10,000,000 million radiant suns and Her mouth consuming boiling nebula of blood", upon the face of Kali Ma, and her hips bedecked by millions of skulls of the buffalo daemons of egomania, as beheld verily by mighty Isis and wise Athena! As these three goddesses and you, all four, make love in the sweeping, unresting, interstellar and trans-temporal oceans of Shakti. In divine mutual love and adoration, and thus dismantling all fading embers of our pointless masculine ego-perspective! For we have become the delighted and delightful destroyers of the world of the trivially finite! Thrilling and psychodynamically somewhat dangerous ...... but, once heard in so perfect a performance as this, absolutely unforgettable for all ones life. Because it is indeed as if Athena, Aphrodite, Kali Ma and Isis and Hathor and Nut had spoken in ones dreams all night long - in a strange turbulent unceasing narrative - as a chorus of invincible and indubitable enlightenment. The language of the transcendental erotic! "So this is the purpose of all life, the eschatological and teleological denouement! Oh my goddesses, why did I not have my ears and heart and eyes opened before!" Perhaps it takes the "senatorial gravity" of a gifted sage, such as Dr Stanisław Skrowaczewski or Dr Eugen Jochum, in impeccable conductor's coattails, to be able to transmit such shattering truths, without herself-himself being driven insane, or stepping into self-immolating in a fountain of flames! The coda of the first movement (here from 22:55) is simply too much to contain in ones sensuous-psychical being. This is the result that Wagner sort when he declared that he wanted the audience of Tristan und Isolde to fly from the auditorium driven uncontrollably insane with intensity of feeling! Wonderful stuff. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is gorgeous. I wish that they would come more often on tour .... perhaps to London, Paris and Marrakesh! That would be something to see and hear - Bruckner's 9th played in the Jama El Fana, the "Square of Death", in Marrakesh. I don't think our Amazigh sisters and brothers have heard too much ultra-romanticism from the late 19th Century European repertoire. Imagine the performance bookmarked either end by the singing of the muezzin from the great minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque, beneath the painted stars of the Atlas Mountain night skies. Love andrea
The deep emotion greeted time of in my soul and the supreme bliss This performance is flawless and stellar, and full of admiration and emotion, and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Comme vous avez raison ! Aucune tentative de" reconstituer" le dernier mouvement n'a grâce à mes yeux. PS : si le Paradis est un festin éternel, j'aimerais être à la même table qu'Anton et Ludwig Van. De Philthefox à Phil New...
How come the hall is not packed with public for such an event? A symphony of Bruckner, especially this one, with such a wonderful orchestra!!! Well thank you for posting and bravo to all for this exceptional rendition.
Maestro Skrowacewski made his name as part of the Polish avant-garde, and i can hear some of that in this performance: he brings out the Brucknerian dissonance, most particularly in the Adagio's climax where they hold and hold that final chord that contains every note of a scale! Very well played, Maestro and orchestra.
Maestro Skrowaczewski conducts an awesome 9th with the power of leave me in tears during the melodic theme for Celli and Horns from 5:33-6:01. It´s a very emotional part even in bad recordings but I never heared it as goosebumping as here. The sound engineers did a good job as well. Each instrument-group can be perceived very crisp and transparent. Maybe I have to discard my Guenter Wand/Berliner Philharmoniker recording?
What a great conductor! I burst into tears before the start - just as a member of a Viennese audience burst into tears when Klemperer lifted his baton to conduct this in the 1950's. It is music which foretell out horrific future, which presents our horrific past, which ends on a note that somehow we find hope through love and justice - something the Western Christian World and Israel has never been capable of. Bruckner, Beethoven, Bach, Handel and Mahler point to way - the need for love and compassion and adherence to 'I and Thou'.
Remarkable performance! Together with a maestro of genius SS, hr-S plays with dedication and commitment. It's a difficult, stretching musical idea, that of Bruckner, given here an expression of freedom I've not heard realised before. Perhaps in one event it becomes the apotheosis of my culture.
i have never heard such beautifully balanced rendition of the 37:00 - 37:25 part! the transition between the "brass fragment" and the "string fragment" is so mellow and consistent! and it acquired unusual, introspective, precious quality...

Agree. Maestro Skrowaczewski was a great Bruckner conductor and this performance is a great tribute to him and the sublime music.
It's amazing! I remember the finale of the 4th syp. It is a kind of contrast. A type of the mature idea where you don't need to scream.
I have never heard an orchestra care more about what they are doing than in this performance. A perfect response to perfect leadership. I love the respect the audience gave by delaying their applause for such a long time.

As others have commented here, I wondered why there weren't more people in the audience to hear this great symphony in a performance by this great Bruckner conductor. Many attempts have been made to complete the finale to this work, but none but the composer's vision could be satisfactory. For me, these three movements need no further statement; as it stands, it has an overwhelming power, beauty, and emotion, capable of plumbing the depths of the spirit The 'adagio's recurring three-note horn motif penetrating the orchestral fabric says more than do many complete symphonies. Bruckner called the symphony his "farewell to life", and did want to complete the finale; I believe he did complete it in the next life, and we may get to hear it in eternity. Maestro Skrowaczewski may be enjoying it now, in the company of the composer!
One reason for many empty seats in the 65€ section of the Alte Oper may have been the opening part of the concert, the conductor's own Passacaglia Imaginaria. To be watched here on TH-cam as recorded from that same concert night. A conservative audience in Frankfurt likes to be teased by a soloist playing Mozart or Beethoven prior to their prosecco intermission.
@@hansjuergenkohlhaas871 Once I was at a concert in Moscow where Brucker's 6th was played after some pieces from Liszt and Brahms as a warmup. Many left right before the symphony. People sitting next to me complained about Brucker's complexity and inexplainability. Pitied them. It was a christmas concert so prices were cosmic.
@@alexanderananchenko868 Wow, I attended a NY Philharmonic concert with Blomstedt doing Bruckner 6, and after the slow movement the guy next to me was literally snoring while his wife sitting next to him was filled with rapt attention, and uttered under her breath, That was so beautiful. It summed up for me the twofold reaction to his music, some don't get it and some do. Shocking as he is the greatest musical mind since JS Bach, and most adore him but many disparage Bruckner. It's bizarre.
Bruckner is for me one of the all time greats but many people find him bombastic (even Wagner who admired Bruckner called him "Herr Trumpet"). That, together with the length of his symphonies, turns some people away. I agree with you that the finale doesn't need to be competed. The third movement has enough drama that I'm not left feeling that more needs to be said.

What a man he was, Bruckner! And a great thanks to Maestro Skrowazeski and all the members of this orchestra for such a great performance!
The performance aside, seeing Skrowaczewski in this performance made me feel quite old, as I first met him when he was only 41. I can tell you from attending some of his rehearsals over the years that the musicians always enjoyed working with him.
Skrowaczewski - One of the greatest Bruckner interpreters of all, but his genius (and not only with Bruckner by any means) never seemed to receive the full recognition it deserved. I know this video has been here for several years now, but thank you for providing this example of his work - and with this great orchestra.
Fabulous! So wonderful. If you have just one friend who understands and adores Bruckner as you do, count yourself blessed. I'll be 80 in a couple of weeks. I wish I knew anyone who loves this music as much as I do. It's gratifying to see comments here from people who obviously understand this God inspired music.
I love these videos. They are the best on UTUBE. Bravo Frankfurt !
The horns are controlled beautifully..with beautiful balance and rhythm...the orchestra is playing in a disciplined fashion...great pace as well...with absolutely no mush. God's music...and God's conductor...WOW...very touching...

Q
Bruckner's greatness resolves in silence.
The biggest admire and respect to old genius,Maestro Skrowczewski...great,amazing performans!
Incredibly competent orchestra.
I think playing Bruckner requires a lot of musical and intellectual maturity. I see in this performance a deep seriousness rising to light. Beautiful dialogue between gravity and melodic harmony.
With my great respect,thank you.
I own several different versions of individual or complete sets of Bruckner symphonies on CD, Blu Ray, and DVD, but I found myself keep going back to the Skrowaczewski's CD set, and I hear new things every time. The man is a real genius and he is simply amazing to be able to still conduct at this level at his age.
+Remarkablerocks Isn't Skrowaczewski marvellous! As you say to give such a moving performance especially at his age is incredible. The music is so focused and alive. The secret of eternal youth!
Great to know about Skrovi's Japanese CD's.I will check them out.Really enjoyed the you tube videos of him.
This maestro was always a complete memorizer on the production stage, as if driven by a hidden sense of mission. Famous performance.
Am enthralled by the beauty and power of this great performance. Would have loved to been there in person. Such a great conductor = now no longer with us.
"Halb leeres" Haus bei Skrowa und Bruckner 9? Unfassbar...
Für mich ist er einer der größten Brucknerdirigenten aller Zeiten!
THE OLD GUY IS ART
Development after 47:00 kills me every time. The music is nothing short of divine.
Les symphonies de Brukner , et celle ci en particulier, ont toujours éveillé en moi d'intenses exaltations et émotions. Difficile de dire pourquoi exactement... Sinon que je partage aisément l'espèce de folie qui parcourt ce labourage symphonique qui donne à entendre aussi bien l'envol d'un rouleau compresseur que l'effleurement de la joue d'un ange endormi par un papillon. A moins qu'il s'agisse de cette douloureuse pulsation emballée, incontrôlable, celle de l'amour universel, qui s'empare de l'âme et la balade dans d'infinis escaliers à la fois montants et descendants ... Il me semble qu'il faille être enfant pour entrer en familiarité avec ces pages vertigineuses, ludiques, naïves et graves, contemplatives, pour s'enchanter dix fois de suite de la petite ritournelle qui, du sautillement guilleret va, s'amplifiant jusqu'à l'hébétude de l'assourdissement. Tout a été dit et écrit sur le "cas Bruckner", sur ses influences, et sur la dimension mystique de son oeuvre. (Et qu'importe ce que la psychanalyse peut aisément y trouver pour ramener les rouleaux compresseurs dans la boue et les papillons dans les boîtes). Peu de compositeurs ont su traduire à ce degré le sentiment d'effusion qui va de pair avec une puissante intériorité. L'espace et l'énergie que déploient les pages de Bruckner ne cessent de susciter mon étonnement, mon admiration et mes larmes . L'interprétation de Stanislaw Skrowaczewski qui, effectivement, n'accentue aucun effet, nous offre à simplement jouir de la mécanique artisanale sublime et folle de cette symphonie du déploiement. Horloger du Coeur ...
. Je suis comme vous.
Bruckner est un magicien de l émotion symphonique. Mahler également.
C est la paix de l âme qu il apporte. Si seulement cette musique pouvait être communicative auprès des excités qui dévastent la raison.
Mais on va dire:trop fumeux, trop bourgeois, trop perché.
@@claudebender3236 Merci, Claude, pour votre écho ! Je me demande parfois, bien que ce soit un peu idiot, j'en conviendrais, comment tant d'occidentaux peuvent demeurer insensibles ou étrangers à des oeuvres musicales de cette nature. Certes, on invoquera des "orientations" ou des manques de culture, mais je pense que les vrais motifs sont d'un autre ordre, car il se trouve des personnes "simples", des enfants et même des animaux qui ressentent, vibrent, et tombent en extase, en joie, en pleurs.
Il nous faut sans doute admettre que certaines personnes ont été spirituellement "castrées" et je crains que cela soit fréquent. Ainsi s'expliqueraient nos collaborations passives à tant de dérives, tant de méfaits ainsi que les passages à l'acte d'autres. On dit : "la musique adoucit les moeurs"... Je ne sais, mais elle touche ceux qui ont des aptitudes à la douceur, à l'intériorisation, à la dimension féminine, et offre une nourriture conséquente à ces esprits déjà réceptifs. Cette nourriture est une grâce indispensable pour tenir debout, ne pas sombrer, et la partager est un des plus beaux actes que nous puissions commettre.

Bonjour François, comme on se retrouve donc.
Merci de m'avoir fait connaître cette version de Bruckner. Elle est superbe.
@@ingemayodon5128 J'en suis fort heureux, Inge ! Permettre le partage d'oeuvres si merveilleuses ne peut être que joyeux ! Je me souviens encore de l'enchantement que j'ai vécu, adolescent, quand je découvris Bruckner, par sa troisième symphonie, dirigée par Eugen Jochum. Sentiment de découvrir, comme on dit, un "ovni" musical ! Cette musique m'emportait haut et loin, comme aucune autre. Chacune de ses symphonies m'enchante, mais avec le temps la neuvième devint celle qui s'avéra me correspondre le mieux, dans cette pathétique alliance d'humanité et de mysticisme.
@@franz5289
J'aime beaucoup Eugen Jochum aussi, le connais surtout comme chef d'orchestre grâce à Fritz Wunderlich, mon ténor préféré, comme vs le savez.
Mais ceci est magnifique. Merci beaucoup.
I thoroughly enjoyed This Great Last heartily
RIP wonderful maestro.
I am currently reading Friedrich Schelling's "On the nature of human freedom". Anton Bruckner's music is like the soundtrack to it. Both texts are about the question of being. In both texts, the narrow view of natural science is once again broadened and taken to the absolute. Spirit and nature are still one here. That is why it touches us so deeply. Emotion and reason are still together here and in close embrace. It is like the music of what Schelling called "the reason for will" and the "reason for love", a music of the two principles that make creation possible in the first place. I would say that music is pure natural philosophy and predates the existence of man. For the capacity for freedom from good and evil is not yet decided in it. Both still condition each other in a harmonious way in order to create nature in the sense of the spirit. If it were music about man, it would not seize us, but shake us.
Great and amazing performance by outstanding maestro Skrowaczewski
What a MASTERPIECE!!!!❤️❤️❤️ What a great misunderstood genius!! BRAVO BRAVO MAGNIFIQUE ♥️
Really great! Fantasic performance, some details I never heard that beautiful. The climax of the third movement, one of the most increadible and deep touching works of mankind, breaks trought and the very end in E-Major has this "out-of-this-world" beauty. Chapeau! Frankfurt seems to be an important music hotspot, not only becsause of Gielen.
A wonderful performance of Bruckner's 9th. It just feels right, dark and anguished in the first movement as it should yet fully controlled.
What a great performance!
Good Lord!!! 24:50 A drop of tear just emerged from the lid of my eye.
Bruckner indeed understood the mystery of Creator. It's not strange he was a bit crazy . :)
The opening of the second movement is played with such finesse.
An old conductor sustained by the spirit of Bruckner. Marvelous!
Une œuvre... poignante...
Pas seulement la représentation satirique d'une société en declin, mais plutôt un discours bouleversé et boulversant d'une âme en peine perdue dans sa recherche de l'ataraxie...
Merci pour cette somptueuse représentation.
Oui oui c’est très juste.
Glorious. Absolutely glorious.
Nel 94 suonai sotto la sua direzione una sinfonia di Lutoslawsky. Ricordo ancora vivamente la sua cortesia e umiltà, amore per la musica e profondo rispetto nei confronti degli orchestrali.
VERY beautiful performance, anyone who thinks Bruckner is stodgy will change their mind if they listen to this.
Here Bruckner 9 sounds light and unforced and not catholic. Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski has his unflashy and gentle way with this music and it works very well. The man was a pleasure to work with and liked by all. Thank you to all.
Sublime! Thank you so much for making this recording available.
What a splendid performance. I first heard his 9th in the Albert Hall, with Haitink conducting the KCO. That was 1982/3. I have a Box with Eugen Jochum conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden in 1978. Just one remark. His 9th lasts only 60:46, while this performance is 64 minutes. The final Adagio is so beautiful, it doesn't matter at all.

Gottes Segen !
A very beautiful interpretation of this work by Anton Bruckner.
It's shocking to see how many seats remained empty that evening at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. Who knows why. Maybe that old Maestro, Skrowaczewski, was considered... Too old, out of fashion. But I'm happy and glad that this wonderful interpretation has been recorded and it's available for everyone to hear and see. I'm sure it will continue to be considered in the decades to come as a document of exceptional importance.
Es gozo escuchar y ver dirigir a Stanislaw S.
una gran obra maestra de la música de la mente y sensibilidad de A. Bruckner gran interpretación y magistral dirección.
I always fancy the coda to the first movement of this epic work to be akin to a locomotive coming to a stop. This was an incredible performance. Every layer comes through with piercing clarity. Absolutely masterful.
Beautiful !
What a maestro and what an orchestra!
Bruckner clearly teetered regularly on the borderline of schizophrenia (so what, one might retort to tedious bourgeois psychiatry), with his conversations peppered by remarks made to "my dear friend god".
However, here, at last, in his 9th Symphony, he revealed, like the Catholic Holy Sacrament and the Act of Transubstantiation, his long-searched for musico-alchemist's formular. Unbelievably spectacular Wagnerian brass chorales fit to shake even the solidly uncomfortable seats at Bayreuth; meltingly seductive melodies stretched to often Baroque lengthiness; compelling rhythmical energy at times of Dvorak-ian bravura; complete mastery of string ensembles; a surprisingly Mahlerian flair for syncopated and even satirical Austro-Hungarian military band tunes; thundering full orchestral chords that do not just sound like tasteless transcriptions of multiple organ stops; and very decent understanding of woodwind timbres.
As is commonly remarked (by whom, Andrea?), there are several celebrated passages where Bruckner's complete lack of key-diatonic-tonal centre, plus disturbing melodic drift and occasional outright alienating vacuum of melody ("a pointillism of half-ventured tone-rows"), and frank dissonance such as 11:25 - 12:00, directly prefigure Schoenberg's Pelléas and Mélisande; and furthermore were manifestly pointers by the composer's sensibility that music had crossed from the commonplace harmonic to the transcendentally symbolic.
"All in the service and profession of what?" one hears from the flippant or finger-tapping jaundiced back rows of cynics, attending the cheaper musicology lecture halls.
A galactic and indeed quasi-Buddhistic vision of a world swept clean of every trivial human passion - "what is for tea, where is my mobile to call Janet about tomorrow's shopping at Selfridges, where are my M&S knickers? Do I grow old and shall I wear the bottoms of my stonewashed jeans rolled?"
Because we have utterly and consummately and irreversibly been reunited with the absolute transcendental divine!
The actual embodied female absolute divine, in my womanly opinion!
"Her eyes incendiary with 10,000,000 million radiant suns and Her mouth consuming boiling nebula of blood", upon the face of Kali Ma, and her hips bedecked by millions of skulls of the buffalo daemons of egomania, as beheld verily by mighty Isis and wise Athena!
As these three goddesses and you, all four, make love in the sweeping, unresting, interstellar and trans-temporal oceans of Shakti. In divine mutual love and adoration, and thus dismantling all fading embers of our pointless masculine ego-perspective! For we have become the delighted and delightful destroyers of the world of the trivially finite!
Thrilling and psychodynamically somewhat dangerous ...... but, once heard in so perfect a performance as this, absolutely unforgettable for all ones life.
Because it is indeed as if Athena, Aphrodite, Kali Ma and Isis and Hathor and Nut had spoken in ones dreams all night long - in a strange turbulent unceasing narrative - as a chorus of invincible and indubitable enlightenment. The language of the transcendental erotic!
"So this is the purpose of all life, the eschatological and teleological denouement! Oh my goddesses, why did I not have my ears and heart and eyes opened before!"
Perhaps it takes the "senatorial gravity" of a gifted sage, such as Dr Stanisław Skrowaczewski or Dr Eugen Jochum, in impeccable conductor's coattails, to be able to transmit such shattering truths, without herself-himself being driven insane, or stepping into self-immolating in a fountain of flames!
The coda of the first movement (here from 22:55) is simply too much to contain in ones sensuous-psychical being. This is the result that Wagner sort when he declared that he wanted the audience of Tristan und Isolde to fly from the auditorium driven uncontrollably insane with intensity of feeling!
Wonderful stuff.
The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is gorgeous.
I wish that they would come more often on tour .... perhaps to London, Paris and Marrakesh!
That would be something to see and hear - Bruckner's 9th played in the Jama El Fana, the "Square of Death", in Marrakesh. I don't think our Amazigh sisters and brothers have heard too much ultra-romanticism from the late 19th Century European repertoire.
Imagine the performance bookmarked either end by the singing of the muezzin from the great minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque, beneath the painted stars of the Atlas Mountain night skies.
Love andrea

Maestro Skrowacewski made his name as part of the Polish avant-garde, and i can hear some of that in this performance: he brings out the Brucknerian dissonance, most particularly in the Adagio's climax where they hold and hold that final chord that contains every note of a scale!
Very well played, Maestro and orchestra.

Maestro Skrowaczewski conducts an awesome 9th with the power of leave me in tears during the melodic theme for Celli and Horns from 5:33-6:01. It´s a very emotional part even in bad recordings but I never heared it as goosebumping as here. The sound engineers did a good job as well. Each instrument-group can be perceived very crisp and transparent. Maybe I have to discard my Guenter Wand/Berliner Philharmoniker recording?

Outstanding. Alive. Muscular and sensitive and spiritual all in one.
What a great conductor!
I burst into tears before the start - just as a member of a Viennese audience burst into tears when Klemperer lifted his baton to conduct this in the 1950's. It is music which foretell out horrific future, which presents our horrific past, which ends on a note that somehow we find hope through love and justice - something the Western Christian World and Israel has never been capable of. Bruckner, Beethoven, Bach, Handel and Mahler point to way - the need for love and compassion and adherence to 'I and Thou'.
Wanderful concert good rendition orchestra
wunderbar: Diese Trommeln gefallen mir. Gehört zum Besten, was ich je hörte
Remarkable performance! Together with a maestro of genius SS, hr-S plays with dedication and commitment. It's a difficult, stretching musical idea, that of Bruckner, given here an expression of freedom I've not heard realised before. Perhaps in one event it becomes the apotheosis of my culture.
Bravo! I can't say any more.
i have never heard such beautifully balanced rendition of the 37:00 - 37:25 part! the transition between the "brass fragment" and the "string fragment" is so mellow and consistent! and it acquired unusual, introspective, precious quality...
Farewell, Maestro.
