Jamais je ne pourrai oublier ce grand maître. Les chefs d'aujourd'hui sont encore loin d'atteindre cette perfection. Regardez.! Toute la partition est dans sa tête. Rien devant lui, et pourtant en une fraction de seconde il donne le ton, le rythme, et c'est tout simplement prodigieux. J'ai pu partager quelques moments avec lui. J'en oubliais de faire parfois mon métier de photographe tant j'étais tout entier avec lui par la musique. Cette séquence est fantastique tant par les expressions que la gestuelle qui restera à nulle autre pareille. Mon immense respect maître, mon admiration, et mes remerciements de tous les jours pour le legs que vous nous avez laissé.
The Genuine of Genuine. The image of capturing the nuances from the score is truly exquisite. He was undoubtedly and unmistakable a genius conductor of professional concerts and operas. In addition, his humor was very motivating. Furtwängler and his always-slung brother Klemperer, as well as Bernstein, were full of jealousy for Karajan, always. Karajan is very charming on this video. This time is the best. It was around the time of the honeymoon when the relationship with the Berlin Philharmoniker was the best. On the same level as the Vienna Philharmonic when Dr.Böhm conducts, however, this orchestra was truly a democratic, synergistic and sublime global international group of professionals under Karajan. Chef, Maestro Karajan had been planning those things. Of particular note is the fluent precision of phrasing and the functional beauty and depth of articulation. We can't listen it in other performances, Even now. The freshness is extremely high. Conducting baton technique and drawing lines are also unique to Maestro Karajan. Clearly intelligent and skillful towing direction and balance. And his score reading had done All complete memorization same as Mitropoulos, his ally Dr. Böhm, George Szell, and For Karajan, Lovro von Matačić, a senior at the Vienna Academy of Music, was invited as a judge for the Karajan International Conductor Competition, which bears the name of Karajan himself. They were Real professional all. The Genuine of Genuine. Undoubtedly, the members of the orchestra, BPh & WPh are also individual, completely memorized level. Otherwise, right now, for broadcasting camera VTR test at NHK Hall Tokyo this 1973, just before the stage performance, they would get the agile reaction of this dress rehearsal. They were confidently and voluntarily practicing ensemble for recording sessions and concerts by planning with Karajan for each section, and they were almost always in a secret state(memorized each score) including physical functions. The rest is an "improvisational swell" that is born spontaneously in production. Its productivity concentration is rarely found elsewhere. Even now.
I remember Alfred Brendel saying that Furtwangler believed that any physical tension in the conductor would cause tension in the orchestral musicians. Watching this, it seems probable that Karajan believed this also: his gestures are totally fluid, and the sound is seamlessly beautiful.
In fact, it's a sort of sound-check-rehearsal before a concert, to get familiar with the acoustics of the hall which was unknown to the orchestra. The programme has been rehearsed detailed already at home in Berlin - with score and in casual wear. 🙂 Even the Berlin Philharmonic did not rehearse in concert dress.
I have many of his recordings, have witnessed several live performances, (rehearsals albeit online)., and have viewed unkind documentaries. HvK was NOT an egomaniac. He was a perfectionist who understood music like no other. THIS Maestro, an icon. I wonder how many realize how many conductors, instrumentalists and vocalists.....who had to be at the very top of their game, worshipped him as a role model, but (too many conductors in particular) will not admit this. r.i.p Herr Karajan.... und vielen dank to Michael Callaghan for sharing this with us. p.s. I DID notice the faux pas at the end of Tannhauser.
Oscar Rubilar I have been VERY BUSY. I am sorry. I may no longer be young.Too young to have met and worked with him in person. I wish I had. Although I have worked with others.... perhaps a topic for another time? I must get off to work before I catch up on everything. Too many messages to respond to. Ich wünsche Ihnen Frieden und Liebe..... Wirklich!
IsaacH1273... d'accord. He was in "competition" with L. Bernstein at the time.And got carried away with "the image"... however, he was indeed an incomparable conductor. Bernstein was an underrated composer and teacher, and yet, he wanted to "steal the show" during performance. At least, once Karajan took to the podium, he knew that his work was done....in rehearsal. I appreciate your viewpoint. VIVE La Musique...du HOLDE KUNST...Alles Gute und vielen dank.
I am well familiar with HvK's heritage. Do not be deceived by my photo. I cannot change it. I am really 150 years old. One day I will get around to someone who may help me change the photo to a "blank"...hahaha. Yours Sincerely, "opera Woman" and retired conductor. And so I say to you, Cold German Beer, Alles Gute! I am smiling.
Having lived on this planet long enough to have witnessed many wonderful conductors, too many to mention...HvK was at the top of the Pyramid. His perfection for timing, intonation and proper tempi was second-to-none. To hell with ego. To be a great conductor, demands having an inflated ego. Every human from Toscanini on down was a legend in their own mind. HvK deservedly owned his ego. His music is a preview of Heaven.
13:31 Cello spin. But seriously my hairs are standing listening to the climax of this vorspiel. Makes me feel on edge and loving how Karajan makes them repeat it.
I can not and should not contradict you Johann, because it is a very personal matter. In my case, I have a fundamental explanation. I am a deaf person since I was born, and what happened to me, when I was a child, is that Karajan with his concentration and orchestral performance made me feel and vibrate, he made me wake the sense of hearing in a very particular way that no other director has produced in my life. That is why Karajan has for me a magical power in my existence. Karajan led me to feel the depth and the wonderful Mystery of Transcendence through music. Mostrar menos
Grazie! Immaginavo fossero i Berliner, ma volevo una conferma! Sono inconfondibili! Bellissimo video, grazie, vedere Karajan all'opera è sempre un'esperienza
Karajan was the greatest conductor of all-time__ but please realize that having conducted these standard scores for fifty years, he should have known them from memory __ in addition, please know that he too made mistakes and had the greatest orchestra in the world to bail him out__ the musicians to this day feel nervous confirming his few and very occasional slip-ups____________________|
It seams to be a sort of sound-check before a concert on a Japan tournee in a hall the orchestra is not familiar with the acoustics, that why it's in concert dress and without score. It's alreday rehearsed at home in Berlin - with score as far as neccessary and in casual wear. 🙂
Herbert von Carryon - love his '65 La Mer (the GT version) as well as the Amphetamine Driven 9th from '62 . Those tympanis make my eardrums bounce like a trampoline!
Once von Karajan said that Wagner came out of the house and there was a fire so he went to look and saw an old lady crying cuz her house was burning down so Wagner wrote the sound of her sobs on his cuff then the fire carriage came with the firemen blowing horn (they had horses and no sirens back then) so Wagner wrote some more notes on his cuffs or sleeves ...later he made this overture from that incident. lol that was funny the way he told it all except the poor old lady who lost everything :-( You can hear the old lady crying with the strings and the fire fighter horn with brass section. around 15:50 the famous theme.
Es mi director preferido,im.On.pecable,minucioso sobre todo cuando interpreta a Wagner ya que sentia su musica en lo mas profundo de su corazon.Observeb como casi siempre dirige con los ojos cerrados.En Tannhauser alcanza la maxima perfeccion. Saludos y Feliz Año 2023 desde Barcelona SPAIN.
On ne félicitera jamais suffisamment le génial instrument qu'était l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Berlin, cette entité monolithique et multiforme toute au service de ce prince fluet mais inflexible et si totalement épris de musique qu'était Karajan. Pour bâtir une telle légende autour d'un seul chef, il fallait qu'il ait de quoi nourrir cette légende! N'importe quel conducteur d'aujourd'hui donnerait sa chemise pour avoir ne serait ce que le quart de son aura et de sa science!
Thanks Michael, To me is the only time that I ever seen James Galway as principal flute of the Berlin philharmonic in a video....... and is just a rehearsal. Many thanks for this document.
ricordi stupendi che dopo di noi non ci saranno persone felici di godere di tanta musica e direzione mi dispiace perle generazioni di oggi e del poi ma perdono e perderanno tanta bellezza da vivere nel cuore
Tja, beste muziekliefhebbers .... Ik voel me zweven bij dit alles.. R.Wagner 's compositie is een schoonheid. En de Berliner Philharmoniker met meester Von Karajan... Die zo zeer weet wat klankverhouding is... Ik geniet en besef dat dit tijdloos is...Hartelijke groeten Jan Vrehen.
Thanks a lot for sharing. I think this is the same year he came to Iran and I went there as a kid and took my sister's camera and stood there till he showed up. As he and his wife walked by I snapped a flash picture but back then the cams didn't have autofocus so they were too close and the picture was out of focus :-( but they did pause a sec. and looked and smiled at me. I wanted to go in so bad but I heard the tickets sold for about 70 dollars and that was a whole lotta money back then...Anyway I went in the back of the arena put my ear to the wall and listened to Beethoven's Egmont overture and his 5th sym. Later I regretted not going to the ticket counter asking how much a ticket was cuz I was very shy back then. why all of that? because he was/is the greatest conductor and I had most of his albums His 1963 or 4 recording of Beethoven 9th is The Best! I still have the original record set and the cassette tapes.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story of meeting (if briefly) one of my idols. Luckily I have been able to meet one of my main idols in my lifetime, unfortunately Karajan was before my time :)
von Karajan sempre rebelde, personal! Ia começando pelo Tannhäuser, deu uma paradinha, iniciou por Tristão e Isolda, e colocou ordem na música! Mas sempre grande regente, admirável!
@@tonybero What would you have done with a young wife, no other source of income, so poor the orchestra members would give you soup bones so you could have food? He could not conduct in Germany WITHOUT a Nazi membership at the time. It was desperation, not opportunistic. He only cared for music, not politics. So very easy to make snide remarks after the fact. Can you truly say you could see the future and know beforehand how bad the Nazis were going to be while you were unemployed, hungry and only wanted to make beautiful music?
Is at least one horn out of pitch at the end of Tannhauser? Plus HvK's face when the mistake happens. That's why we rehearse. Glorious and thanks for sharing. This is treasure for me.
It seems to be a sort of sound-check-rehearsal before a concert ona Japan tournee in a hall the orchestra is not familiar with the acoustics. That's why it's in concert dress and without score. It's already rehearsed at home in Berlin - with score and in casual wear. 🙂
@@borisbrinkmannInteresting. I'm sure there's video out there of Karajan rehearsing the orchestra in Salzburg for an Easter Festival (I think) and again they're all wearing tie and tails. Really odd. It's a very sensitive sound check which is affected by what the musicians are wearing : ) By the way in the video I'm referring to you can see James Galway on principal flute
@@phillipecook3227 I consider it possible that it's again a "Anspielprobe" (warming up right before a concert) in Salzburg. The dress is not because of acoustics, but simply because the musicians are already dressed for the concert few minutes later (like a soccer team would not warm up in the stadium in private clothes 15 min. before the Match). Or, what maybe is possible, that Karajan, who also directed the video material of his concerts perfectly, requested to play the warm up rehearsal in concert dress in purpose of having some additional takes of video material for possible use for corrections.
Was für eine herrliche Kommunikation, was für ein fruchtbarer Dialog!! Die Proben Karajans sind das Geheimnis seines Erfolgs!! E H E !! Im besten Sinn!! Hier so und anderswo genau andersherum oder noch einmal anders!! Entscheidend hier ist die Einheit und die Gemeinsamkeit ...
Me when listening to music and heard a mistake: 12:52 Me when I hear my neighbors sing on the kareoke: 13:00 My teacher when he caught someone copying their assignment: 18:07
His darling child, Gundala Janowitz (who recorded the Strauss Vier Letzte Gesänge, with Berlin), he forced her to do extremely demanding roles she was not ready for. She refused, and he never spoke to her again. Snubbed her at the Salzburg Festival. He loved you or detested you!!
@@urbanviii5103 I see. If that were the case, Karajan might have done the same thing as Klemperer, who was under Furtwängler's outright hostility towards Karajan. He wants him to always be aware of his movements, which is natural, selfish.
oggi dove é la grazia nella direzione alcuni direttori sembra stiano facendo giochi di guerra purtroppo periodo irrepetibile la classe non é certo di moda nel 2000
But we in the arts need your kind so badly: the clueless audience members who don’t know what they are listening to: you pay our salaries, after all________
Good heavens, where did you find this? If it's on some Japanese DVD, let us know which and where. (Does Amazon.co.jp have it?) Would love to purchase it for myself.
Hi, Sadly I'm unaware as to whether these rehearsal videos have been included with a DVD release of the performance. Another uploader had put these up ages ago, but they were taken down (I assume that they had started putting up copyrighted content along with these and they were just all taken down). As this really isn't a performance and hasn't been formally released (to my knowledge), I would class it as educational material. Glad you liked it, I only wish someone had footage of him rehearsing bruckner/strauss :D
this is the DVD, its a lttle bit expensive.and u must recognize that region code. www.amazon.co.jp/NHK%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B7%E3%82%AB%E3%83%AB-%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A4%E3%83%B3%E7%94%9F%E8%AA%95100%E5%91%A8%E5%B9%B4%E3%83%9C%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-3cKarajan-100th-Anniversary/dp/product-description/B001DE9120/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=561958&s=dvd

Sicher eine Anspielprobe vor einem Konzert. Es geht ja auch im Wesentlichen um die Akustik. Sonst macht's keinen Sinn. Es steht ja da, dass es in Japan ist. Das Programm ist sicher zuhause in Berlin bereits geprobt - in Zivil und mit Partitur für den Maestro. Es ist irreführend, das als "Rehearsal" Video zu bezeichnen. Proben tat der Maestro anders...
What did the orchestra start to play in the very beginning before he cut them off? I've been trying to find that piece of music for soo long. Please help.
Hi Nater389, that piece at the start would be Wagner's Tannhauser Overture (Paris Version). I think it was actually some inside joke, maybe it was a long tour and he sometimes forgot the order they were playing the wagner pieces :D
Michael Callaghan Hi Michael, it is actually the Dresden version, the Paris is the longer one (for the ballet) and has an open end (which leads into the opera itself).
Tannhäuser Ouverture, which was on the same programme and comes up later in the rehearsal. Karajan missed to communicate clearly with which piece he wanted to start the sound-check. The avviso (upbeat) looks quite similar.
It seems to be rather a sound-check/warming up before a concert on a Japan tournee in a hall with which the orchestra is not familiar. You see that it's mainly on acoustics. The programme itself is rehearsed already at home in Berlin more detailed - and in casual wear and with a score for the maestro.
Jamais je ne pourrai oublier ce grand maître. Les chefs d'aujourd'hui sont encore loin d'atteindre cette perfection. Regardez.! Toute la partition est dans sa tête. Rien devant lui, et pourtant en une fraction de seconde il donne le ton, le rythme, et c'est tout simplement prodigieux.
J'ai pu partager quelques moments avec lui. J'en oubliais de faire parfois mon métier de photographe tant j'étais tout entier avec lui par la musique. Cette séquence est fantastique tant par les expressions que la gestuelle qui restera à nulle autre pareille.
Mon immense respect maître, mon admiration, et mes remerciements de tous les jours pour le legs que vous nous avez laissé.
The Genuine of Genuine.
The image of capturing the nuances from the score is truly exquisite.
He was undoubtedly and unmistakable a genius conductor of professional concerts and operas.
In addition, his humor was very motivating. Furtwängler and his always-slung brother Klemperer, as well as Bernstein, were full of jealousy for Karajan, always.
Karajan is very charming on this video.
This time is the best.
It was around the time of the honeymoon when the relationship with the Berlin Philharmoniker was the best. On the same level as the Vienna Philharmonic when Dr.Böhm conducts, however, this orchestra was truly a democratic, synergistic and sublime global international group of professionals under Karajan.
Chef, Maestro Karajan had been planning those things.
Of particular note is the fluent precision of phrasing and the functional beauty and depth of articulation. We can't listen it in other performances, Even now.
The freshness is extremely high.
Conducting baton technique and drawing lines are also unique to Maestro Karajan. Clearly intelligent and skillful towing direction and balance.
And his score reading had done All complete memorization same as Mitropoulos, his ally Dr. Böhm, George Szell, and For Karajan, Lovro von Matačić, a senior at the Vienna Academy of Music, was invited as a judge for the Karajan International Conductor Competition, which bears the name of Karajan himself.
They were Real professional all.
The Genuine of Genuine.
Undoubtedly, the members of the orchestra, BPh & WPh are also individual, completely memorized level. Otherwise, right now, for broadcasting camera VTR test at
NHK Hall Tokyo this 1973, just before the stage performance, they would get the agile reaction of this dress rehearsal.
They were confidently and voluntarily practicing ensemble for recording sessions and concerts by planning with Karajan for each section, and they were almost always in a secret state(memorized each score) including physical functions. The rest is an "improvisational swell" that is born spontaneously in production.
Its productivity concentration is rarely found elsewhere. Even now.
It's one thing to be a perfectionist, it's another to put it into action like Karajan did.
And his last concert with Jesseye Norman singing Wagner’s Liedstrod- was perfection.
There are no words for the beauty that this man delivered through music over the decades.
Don't forget the wonderful orchestra he conducted
I love the cello spin at 13:34
This is magnificent. If it weren't for Karajan, I wouldn't have loved music so much.
One of my favorite conductors of all time and a truly masterful interpreter of Wagner’s music. Thanks!!!
I remember Alfred Brendel saying that Furtwangler believed that any physical tension in the conductor would cause tension in the orchestral musicians. Watching this, it seems probable that Karajan believed this also: his gestures are totally fluid, and the sound is seamlessly beautiful.
His conducting is so intense , his hands draws the lines for each member of the orchestra .
His legato is priceless , huge lines ... He was the best .
With Carlos Kleiber, who admired him a lot.
He and Furtwangler! Furtwangler for the mind {philosophy} and the fierceness, von Karajan for the soul and the beauty....
Lieber michael danke für das schöne video karajan dierigiert wagners tristan und tannhäuser er ist und bleibt ein dirigent der superlative für mich
There will be no more Great & Charismatic Conductors like him .....
これは、スゴい！驚きました。
日本の東京、渋谷の 昔のNHKホールです。リハーサルなのに、正装して

That's right. Maestro Karajan may have had to retire around 1984.
You have to be an alpha male to run orchestra. Your are the CEO.
13:31 Cello spin. But seriously my hairs are standing listening to the climax of this vorspiel. Makes me feel on edge and loving how Karajan makes them repeat it.

Can you truly say you could see the future and know beforehand how bad the Nazis were going to be while you were unemployed, hungry and only wanted to make beautiful music?
@@loisking5845 even if it meant i would never play another note, i would have not conducted for nazis. i'd rather die.
@@tonybero What are you, an angry Jew??
@@cadaverdog1424 no. i'm a human with a conscience.
Magnifique
Grazie!
MARAVILLOSO SIEMPRE
Is at least one horn out of pitch at the end of Tannhauser? Plus HvK's face when the mistake happens. That's why we rehearse. Glorious and thanks for sharing. This is treasure for me.
Maravilloso!! Ejemplar, sublime...
Diréctor, bravooo!
Najbolji je najbolji!!!
I wish he had been mic'ed up, so we could actually hear what he was saying.
Admiration sans fin
ベルリンフィル。
高らかに力強く鳴り響く金管はもちろんのこと、ティンパニーの強く切れのある音を求める演出はカラヤン独特ですね。彼の演出で、全く別の曲のように聞こえます。素晴らしい。
The Berlin Phil must've been the only orchestra in the world which rehearsed in white tie and tails ....
It seems to be a sort of sound-check-rehearsal before a concert ona Japan tournee in a hall the orchestra is not familiar with the acoustics. That's why it's in concert dress and without score. It's already rehearsed at home in Berlin - with score and in casual wear. 🙂
@@borisbrinkmannInteresting. I'm sure there's video out there of Karajan rehearsing the orchestra in Salzburg for an Easter Festival (I think) and again they're all wearing tie and tails. Really odd. It's a very sensitive sound check which is affected by what the musicians are wearing : ) By the way in the video I'm referring to you can see James Galway on principal flute
@@phillipecook3227 I consider it possible that it's again a "Anspielprobe" (warming up right before a concert) in Salzburg. The dress is not because of acoustics, but simply because the musicians are already dressed for the concert few minutes later (like a soccer team would not warm up in the stadium in private clothes 15 min. before the Match).
Or, what maybe is possible, that Karajan, who also directed the video material of his concerts perfectly, requested to play the warm up rehearsal in concert dress in purpose of having some additional takes of video material for possible use for corrections.
Was für eine herrliche Kommunikation, was für ein fruchtbarer Dialog!! Die Proben Karajans sind das Geheimnis seines Erfolgs!! E H E !! Im besten Sinn!! Hier so und anderswo genau andersherum oder noch einmal anders!! Entscheidend hier ist die Einheit und die Gemeinsamkeit ...
Yikes! Another great conductor without a score in front of him. Amazing!
For me this vid is absolutly magnificant. He shaped the sounf and the phrases, who could do this today? Thielemann perhaps, Petrenko, I suppose.
che sguardo amorevole verso le note meraviglioso
Karajan... Inolvidable... Eterno... Para mi el mejor junto a Daniel Barhemboin... 💛💚❤️💜💙💖💫✨🙏🎉🎊🎁

Birgit Nilsson always called him 'Herbie' :)
His darling child, Gundala Janowitz (who recorded the Strauss Vier Letzte Gesänge, with Berlin), he forced her to do extremely demanding roles she was not ready for. She refused, and he never spoke to her again. Snubbed her at the Salzburg Festival. He loved you or detested you!!
@@urbanviii5103 I see. If that were the case, Karajan might have done the same thing as Klemperer, who was under Furtwängler's outright hostility towards Karajan. He wants him to always be aware of his movements, which is natural, selfish.
Musica linda,maestro impecavel,Que mais ?
when he was out of Berlin, he wasn't so serious...
Did I spy James Galway on principal flute?
Yes, you did. A rare appearance on video with "Herbie", as he liked to say he called him :)
Karajan, certamente V. reje os Anjos para deleite de Nosso D_us, Único e Adorado pela Eternidade! Maravilhoso.:.

I bet John Williams would have written Star Wars prequels and have Herbert conduct them if he had the chance and sit in awe!
Star Wars 9 has bombed out. That's it.
Karajan would not have wasted his time with Williams’ overrated plagiarized garbage __
the best!
danke
oggi dove é la grazia nella direzione alcuni direttori sembra stiano facendo giochi di guerra purtroppo periodo irrepetibile la classe non é certo di moda nel 2000
sono finiti i tempi in cui la direzione d orchestra veniva diretta con eleganza e grande rispetto per le note
Zeus among conductors !
It is interesting how I, unskilled and uninitiated, cannot pick up the subtle improvements for which von Karajan is asking...
feel for it.
But we in the arts need your kind so badly: the clueless audience members who don’t know what they are listening to: you pay our salaries, after all________
16.20 James Galway on principal flute!
Good heavens, where did you find this? If it's on some Japanese DVD, let us know which and where. (Does Amazon.co.jp have it?) Would love to purchase it for myself.
Hi, Sadly I'm unaware as to whether these rehearsal videos have been included with a DVD release of the performance. Another uploader had put these up ages ago, but they were taken down (I assume that they had started putting up copyrighted content along with these and they were just all taken down). As this really isn't a performance and hasn't been formally released (to my knowledge), I would class it as educational material. Glad you liked it, I only wish someone had footage of him rehearsing bruckner/strauss :D
this is the DVD, its a lttle bit expensive.and u must recognize that region code.

Para mi gusto a titulo personal recalcitrante menciono que fue la mejor batuta del mundo.

Ist das während einer Tournee? Alle in voller Montur?
Sicher eine Anspielprobe vor einem Konzert. Es geht ja auch im Wesentlichen um die Akustik. Sonst macht's keinen Sinn.
Es steht ja da, dass es in Japan ist. Das Programm ist sicher zuhause in Berlin bereits geprobt - in Zivil und mit Partitur für den Maestro. Es ist irreführend, das als "Rehearsal" Video zu bezeichnen. Proben tat der Maestro anders...
lo capisco era ariete ed io lottero fino alla fine come sempre da 73 anni
What did the orchestra start to play in the very beginning before he cut them off? I've been trying to find that piece of music for soo long. Please help.
Hi Nater389, that piece at the start would be Wagner's Tannhauser Overture (Paris Version). I think it was actually some inside joke, maybe it was a long tour and he sometimes forgot the order they were playing the wagner pieces :D
Much appreciated sir.
Michael Callaghan
Hi Michael, it is actually the Dresden version, the Paris is the longer one (for the ballet) and has an open end (which leads into the opera itself).
Nater389 wagner tristan isolde prelude
Tannhäuser Ouverture, which was on the same programme and comes up later in the rehearsal. Karajan missed to communicate clearly with which piece he wanted to start the sound-check. The avviso (upbeat) looks quite similar.

, any suggestions for dummies like me¿ By the way this video is intense

I wonder why they are wearing tails and white tie for a rehearsal
It seems to be rather a sound-check/warming up before a concert on a Japan tournee in a hall with which the orchestra is not familiar. You see that it's mainly on acoustics. The programme itself is rehearsed already at home in Berlin more detailed - and in casual wear and with a score for the maestro.
