What a priceless clip. C.Krauss was certainly a conductor of genius. A shining star in the firmament of greats such as DeSabata, Kleiber, Furtwangler, Elmendorff, Abendroth, Golovanov and Cantelli.
Carlos Kleiber greatly admired Clemens Krauss. When I was preparing my first 'Fledermaus', CK insisted I study ("but do not imitate!") Krauss' extraordinary 1950 recording. No wonder.
@@charlesbarber8166 What you say makes perfect sense. And they have in common the 2 greatest recordings of Eljen a Magyar. I must ask though, do you know what his father's opinion of Krauss was, as his contemporary? Needless to say I am ordering your book immediately.
@@charlesbarber8166 You must realize what a singular experience you apparently had in having such access to such a personality. As I said I intend to order your book, but just what you have said so far is tantalizing. One question that has been on my mind for years is about the content of an open letter purportedly written by Carlos Kleiber to Sergiu Celibidache in defense of Herbert von Karajan. Do you know where I could find this material? I have also always wondered what his thoughts were about Slovenia and its landscape. And one weird question that preoccupied me was whether he ever expressed any opinion on the music of Anton Bruckner. For some unfathomable reason I always had the notion that he would have conducted a superb Bruckner 7th. Maybe the Julian, Dinaric Alps had something to do with it. Or the particular radiance of that score. Given his relatively small repertoire such hypotheticals must have been numerous. And then there's the matter of his apparently introverted personality, which I'm sure I'm not alone in having sympathized with. I can't wait to read your book.
@@ilirllukaci5345 thanks again for yours. the book details CK's 'open letter' to Celibidache, its origins and subtext. it was a typically funny and subversive riposte from CK, and to my knowledge Celi never replied. CK always pretended that someone else wrote it, of course. alas, we never discussed Bruckner. I did ask him to give us a Ninth, a Brahms Requiem, and a Peter Grimes. He had a MUCH larger repertoire than is generally known, and I was not once ever able to name a work that he had not already heard and/or studied. for him, the difference lay in that of his interest in it internally, and/or externally Indeed, I felt crazy-lucky to have known him at all, but writing my first letter is just the sort of stunt a grad student would pull, and just the kind of dumb luck that led to his reply. when I did so, I had no thought it would lead anywhere. knowing him changed my musical life. it still does
I've never thought he was an especially great conductor, but his Johann Strauss has a lot to offer. Of course, it is generally accepted in Vienna that anyone whose surname begins with "K" has an advantage in this pursuit.
The concertmaster on this clip is poor Julius Stwertka. The Anschluss unleashed 250 new anti-Semitic laws and a wave of anti-Jewish violence. Stwertka and his wife Rosa were deported to the Jewish ghetto in Theresienstadt. He survived for just a few weeks, dying in December 1942. His wife was sent to Auschwitz in 1944. Her date of death is unknown.

@@ilirllukaci5345 I'm afraid CK never said, nor did we often talk about his father. In some regards, it was a bleak house.

Today is the birthday of Clemens Krauss.
Great.. thank you for posting
sua Maestà!!!
I've never thought he was an especially great conductor, but his Johann Strauss has a lot to offer. Of course, it is generally accepted in Vienna that anyone whose surname begins with "K" has an advantage in this pursuit.
Did you even know that he was one of the greatest conductors of Wagner and Richard Strauss?
@@novagerio9244 His Strauss recordings were very good, mostly for being quite businesslike. The composer thought well of his work.
The concertmaster on this clip is poor Julius Stwertka.
