- Опубліковано 2 гру 2019
- Verdi‘s Requiem was first performed at the Church of San Marco in Milan in 1874, with Verdi himself conducting. Now, 145 years later, Teodor Currentzis unveils a powerful new interpretation of this major work - at the same venue. The performance features the MusicAeterna orchestra and chorus, including the four vocal soloists. Viewers will experience firsthand how Maestro Currentzis brings out the best in his musicians.
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) is perhaps Italy's best-known composer. He wrote 28 operas, but only one funeral mass. The Requiem is dedicated to the memory of Alessandro Manzoni, a poet and novelist whom Verdi had very much admired.
Teodor Currentzis is one of today's most talented and innovative conductors. He was born in Athens in 1972. From 1994 - 1999, he studied conducting at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. From 2004 - 2010, Currentzis served as principal conductor in Novosibirsk, where he also founded the MusicAeterna orchestra and chorus. From 2011 - 2019, he was music director of the Opera and Ballet Theatre in Perm. He is now the chief conductor of the SWR Symphony Orchestra in Germany.

To cordinate complex music performance on this level is absolutely exeptional. He is exeptional. His determination and loyalty to the best of universal musical and human values in our century is a new etalon.
The 1967 von Karajan performance has always been my favorite until now! This is the most splendid collection of soloists, EVER, plus the chorus is fabulous as well as the conductor! The bass soloist is hands-down PERFECT.
Logra la difícil conexión entre el Director y la Orquesta como lo han logrado muy pocos...Karajan,Berstein, y otros pocos Nombres que no sé escribir en este momento por mi ignorancia con las lenguas...
Absolutely breathtaking.... that final "Libera me" brought tears to my in eyes. Congratulations for a brilliant performance of a timeless masterpiece, from Currentzis and MusicAeterna. 👏🏻
Unbelievable beautiful. To hear a live performance is a life changing event.....
En mi opinión el más SENSIBLE Y EMOTIVO DIRECTOR en la actualidad.
Personalmente es quién más me conecta con LA DIVINA MÚSICA.
I LOVE THIS DIRECTOR. Thanks you Classical Music. Thanks
We are glad you enjoy it! 😊
I am so moved by this performance. Thank you for putting this together and presenting it to us.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. We appreciate it very much. Stay tuned to our channel. Your DW Classical Music Team
There is a live after death, I believe and I was there… Thank you for amazing performance.
Εξαιρετικός ο Θεόδωρος Κουρεντζής. Κάθε φορά που τον παρακολουθώ, ερωτεύομαι ξανά το επάγγελμά μου.
Amazed by the young soprano.
Chorus and orchestra are stunning.
How exactly are they stunning?
The new voice of conducting, behold, one man bringing an unique music experience to all the symphonies he conducts.
You talk about him like he’s Jesus Christ. Let me know when it’s time for his crucifixion-I’ll help.
@@darkprose well u are right, maybe I being a bit exaggerated, but damn. The dude knows how to make sound the music different. The mozart requiem is just fucking other thing in this world, for example. And Stravinsky, sacre su printemps. Le nozze di figaro etc. No dude, this man make an incredible work as conductor. I know he's a bit rock star, I hate that... But damn.
@@TheTearsOfAutumnDrea He certainly does know how to make sound the music different.
The soprano has an amazing voice
Totalemente de acuerdo, es una maravilla. No la conocía y me parece algo especial.
Правда,певцы все чудные,и хор,и оркестр!браво всем!!
Finalmente alguém que compreende o "Requiem" de Verdi: Música e... Texto. Os Solistas, tal como o Coro, Orquestra, seguem-no fascinados... Ficamos presos do primeiro ao último minuto. Fabuloso!

He comes to earth to enlighten us with his creation because yes, he is creating new music even if it was composed before. He is a superior being compared with the best and most amazing artists and creators of all times.
You guys really portray him as some sort of god. It's a bit creepy.
@@egel7736 It is. Conductors have big egos-Bernstein and Karajan come to mind-but the difference between them and Currentzis is that they were geniuses who recorded some gorgeous music. I’ve not heard anything of Currentzis that justifies this hagiography he is trying to create.
Stop the BS talk
is this satire? I really hope so.
Not at all, the only creator is the composer, he just interprets the music, he has good choir control but his orchestral work is just mediocre. Go listen to his Beethoven, it’s terrible.
Theodoros Currentzis (Greek: Θεόδωρος Κουρεντζής) was an already trained and professional musician in Greece before he decided to further his studies in Russia. (He studied music and violin in the Athenian National Conservatory in the departments of Theoretical Music and String Instruments. At 15, he started studying composition under professor Yorgos Hadjinikos and later with professor Shreck. While still in Greece, at 18 (in 1990) he takes over the direction of the musical scheme «Musica Aeterna» and the management of the International Music Festival at «Porto Heli». After finishing his studies in Greece, in 1994, he decides to further his studies in conducting with the famous Ilya Musin in St. Petersburg State Conservatory.)
flag waving Byron?
No my dear Ourania, not at all ! National Brand Image is called in academia as well as in political science. France has spend more than 10 billion euros at the last decade alone for its' brand image. This damned brand image is the reason that we have learned inside-out the lives of all kings, politicians, scientists, sportsmen and other significant people of England or USA. Capiche ?
@@1964Byron No need to patronise me. Classical music is not a Greek creation so I don;'t get your point. Secondly, have you proclaimed yourself the promoter of Greece's image on UA-cam? Are you on a personal crusade? You are silly.
I don't patronize you, why should I... I don't even know you. You commented to a comment of mine and I'm just answering to you!
Yes, definitely Greece did not invent what is considered classical music, far away. Does this mean that no Greek and very importantly Greek trained artist be at the top? Germany did not invent theater either. Does this demean Bertolt Brecht or mean that Germans cannot express an opinion about theatre? I don't get your thinking. This is idiotic as much as it is racist. This is definitely not a politically correct thinking of you dear!
I don't have to proclaim myself to you for anything! Who do you think you are anyway? Just like Anglo-Saxons and Protestants, I consider my country as my home and my family and I support and promote it when I should and can. I just thought that the bio text needed some corrections and since I had the extra 5 minutes, I did. What seems to be your problem in this?
He studied with Shrek??
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Такая сила воздействия, слушая эту музыку, чувствуешь себя на небесах.Непостижимая сила.
forza, rapimento, passione, orgasmo puro all'ennesima potenza !!!!!
Wow! just wow! I have sung the Requiem seven times. I have it basically memorized. But I have never heard it like this! It would be seriously fun to sing for this conductor from Novosibirsk!
from where?...
He was born in Athens.
@@tomilopes That he was. But the people who first recognized his genius live in Russia's great science city. I am willing to bet if you asked Currentzis where he grew the most musically, he would reply Novosibirsk. He did not choose to be born in Athens. He chose to work and study and think in Novosibirsk.
@@jonathanlarson4886 I'm sorry, but in terms of informal logic, that's known as the Humpty Dumpty maneuver: you don't get to choose the meaning of words and expressions in natural language. Mozart was not from Vienna, Henry James was not from London. That "To be from P" means "to be born in P", and not "having one's genius first recognized by people in P... and having grown more or less musically in P..., etc. just is a factual true statement about the English language, not up for grabs.
MARAVILLOSA VERSIÓN! LA MEJOR QUE HE ESCUCHADO!
a mis 88 años he redescubierto esta obra con esta magistral interpretación
Precision of expression clarity of sound; intensity of emotion. An unusual, and electrifying, combination. You hear, as the composer came to think. Many thanks to Teodor, and his musicians. A stunning team.
Bravo!!!👏👏👏
браво брависсимо спасибо
Мышление Курентзиса редкостное Он будто пускает корни в сознание оркестрантов и становится властелином их сознания
Maravilhoso. No dia do Juízo Final essa será a voz dos anjos e querubins.
Teodor Currentizs magnifie les chefs d'œuvres musicaux ! Mmes Mrs chanteurs d Opéra les choristes les instrumentistes deviennent sous la conduite de Mr Currentzis des sons des échos inoubliables ❤
Thank you for your comment. If possible, please comment in English next time so that more people can follow the discussion. All the best!
Amazing
I love the female singers. Finally some body with good lower register!
Я завидую музыкантам , которые работают с Теодором
Такая музыка любого, даже неверующего, заставляет "перед лицом смерти" молиться: "Господи, помоги!"
Я тоже мечтала бы работать у Курентзиса в коллективе! Он музыкальный Бог!
Cette version m'a profondément émue. Ayant écouté et vu maintes interprétations, je reste confondue par la missa da requiem proposée par le maestro Teodor Currentzis. Je l'avais enregistrée et l'écoutais très souvent. Nous sommes avec cette interprétation dans le domaine des anges, de l'indicible, de l'immatériel!
Une malencontreuse erreur l'a fait disparaître. Je suis inconsolable. N'envisagez-vous pas de commercialiser un DVD?
Dear Marie-Suzanne SOUBIE, Thank you for your kind comment. You can watch the complete concert here: www.medici.tv/en/concerts/teodor-currentzis-directs-verdis-requiem. As far as we know, the concert has not been released on DVD. Greetings, Your DW Classical Music team
Bravo
❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautiful,Everything was executed perfectly,As a young aspiring future conductor from Namibia it’s so beautiful and Motivating to see those whose paths we will follow making everything clear,Thank you🥺❤️
😊
Yeah, right. Because before Currentzis, no one understood classical music or how to play it.
You have changded it into something Vedi's desire for the music
宗教関係なく、彼らのヴェルディ「レクイエム」には強烈なまでの感動がある。ふーー。
教会での演奏という場の違いもあるが、ムジカ・エテルナは、ベルリンフィルとの演奏よりはるかに深く美しい。
ソプラノのZarinaAbaevaの歌唱には舌を巻く。圧倒的な声・存在感だが、このとき３２才だ（驚）

Traducir al español... por favor
His method is very similar to the great Furtwangler.
Not new. Very traditional rendition! Like the ones I grew up with from the fifties and sixties. When they still knew how to sing opera. Thank you.
Só não gostei da interpretação feita pelos solistas vocais! O Coral é DIVINOOOOO...Nota 10000000
This documentary says nothing about why it's a "new interpretation", only how great the conductor is and what a great genius Verdi was. I would like to know, for example, why the soloists are placed inside the chorus during the final Libera Me, and why the musicians are standing instead of sitting, and what other new things Currentzis found in the score. A disappointing, not very informative documentary.
DW’s other doc on Currentzis and Beethoven’s Ninth is even worse. We are told that conductor and composer share some kind of spiritual brotherhood-like, for instance, a bad temper. I’m not surprised Currentzis is unpleasant in person, but it doesn’t reveal anything about the Ninth Symphony or the differences in approach to Beethoven that will have practical value for those who take any time to listen to the music he and his orchestra has recorded. This is all the worst and useless traits of classical music culture, right here, in these kinds of videos, and they only get in the way of listeners who want nothing else but to enjoy some of the most moving and beautiful music ever written.
@@darkprose I think what you are looking for are the LABs he does, the old ones mainly in Russian, some in English, but what is wrong about getting blown away from music in a live event?
@@ilonarenfranz5322 Nothing is wrong with it. I didn’t say anything about that. I said that videos like this tell us nothing about the music. It’s just a long commercial for Currentzis.
@@darkprose including his musicians, so what's wrong about that? They work hard and a lot of people fall for their art, including me😜 and I so much miss live concerts.
@@ilonarenfranz5322 I missed them too. And just to be clear, I did not criticize the orchestra nor the choir or soloists. The singers and musicians are superb. No doubt about that. And they seem of one mind with Currentzis and shaped in his image. Many of the great conductors have done that too, like Karajan, Ormandy and Szell, to name a few.
Вывяя
Verdi's requiem is more opera music than church music.
i prefer Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, but this is a great new take on an old horse. I prefer a heavier, more 'spinto' mezzo but the rest of the cast is superb.
Y...lo último; RESPIRA MÚSICA POR TODOS LOS POROS
this isn't real, is it?
Great choral sound, but not a revelatory interpretation.
O wai Verdi…….. aber in Katharina Ffm ist es Mozart. Sabine sagt, Orchester Schwerarbeit. Sehr anstrengend, aber Verdi 10 mal schwerer
Currentzis conducting only means "louder, harder, faster". A primitive transfer of postmodern excess to musical performance.
