This is so far, I think, the most level-headed, un-star-struck and therefore the most touching of the interviews you have given us. What a wonderful, undemonstrative, perspicacious man is Professor Küchl!
Professor Kuechl was the Leader of the Vienna Philharmonic in the concert which literally took me to the decision to be a full-time conductor. A splendid Bruckner's 8th Symphony with Zubin Mehta conducting. I will never forget that Klangbogen-Konzert in Vienna's Musikverein and the excitement I had to listen that splendid unique body of musicians playing my favourite symphony (of which Haas' edition I gave the Italian prémiere in 2013, some 12 years after this experience). And getting out of the Golden Hall, after 30 minute applause, I bumped into Profesor Kuechl and I symply told him THANK YOU FOR YOU HAVE DONE TONIGHT (he was very tired but very kind): the merit of the performance almost totally stood in his abilities (and in Wolfgang Herzer's, the principal cello). This is why Mehta took the last bow in front of the jubilant audience grasping the two men's hands from the podium, I will never forget that moment. It was the start of my new life.
Well, I have the rather odd honour of being laughed at by Prof. Kuchl. Solti and the VPO came to Toronto, did the Italian Symphony and the Eroica. My wife got me a front centre seat, which was very excellent of her. For the encore, Solti turned to the audience and said they were going to play Die Meistersinger Overture for an encore. I must've jumped 10 feet in the air. I sat back down with a beet red face and Prof Kuchl leaned to his left and whispered something to his colleague (probably that I was some crazy man about to jump the stage). They actually played Die Fledermaus instead... but still, I got Solti's autograph downstairs (Mahler 6 and Das Lied von der Erde) and went home shocked that I'd seen "the real thing". What a memory. God Bless them all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@som Slovaak あなたのこのsom Slovaakというハンドル名からしてチェコ🇨🇿の人かな？日本語で質問ありがとう。日本人とヨーロッパ人の音楽的立場比較を訊きたいのですか？ 飽くまでも音楽的な教育文化においてはもう、その差は殆ど無いですね。かつて異文化、ヨーロッパ音楽として輸入した日本の富国強兵を命題にした明治時代以降の変遷初期は借り物、行政監察的文化でしかなかったが、今は、全く以て同等かそれ以上と思う。しかし、それは飽くまでも外面の話だ。そこの精神的内覧においては日本人的発想では立ち行かない内奥がクラシック音楽には在る。あなたがヨーロッパ人として、日本の特に「能」での表出如何が難解のようにね。また私はベルリンでの生活🎼も暫くあったので向こうでの友人関係の中で、🇩🇪人をはじめ🇺🇸人、🇫🇷人、🇨🇦人その他の国々の人との対論経験で、それは実感しています。勿論、日本の伝統スポーツ文化である剣道や空手、弓道は自分も経験あるし、今も興味深く観ています。 I've written about that elsewhere about Japanese Kyudo🎯 on the philosophy of Karajan's conduct. see you later.
@som Slovaak Don't worry. Since last week, I've been selecting the equipment for a certain recording. It's you who have to take medicine. By the way, I'm worried about the stupidity of your brain, which can only be done in Japanese, here. You're the one who keeps staying in the ultimate stupid den, right? Du bist ein echtes😰 Kind.Ww🤑
What an orchestra...that oboe is an acquired taste but HvK knew how to balance the unique sound of the Wieners so well. His brief Decca period produced some fantastic records with these guys.
I have admired Rainer Kuchl for many years. Please where are the English subtitles? My German is only tourist. I love the Wiener Philharmonic. Best Wishes to Professor Kuchl from English lady.
Herrlich diese Anekdoten über dass zusammen arbeiten mit Karajan. Danke frau Bernauer

Fantastischer Konzertmeister und ganz netter Mensch dazu
Ja, absolut. Prof. Küchl war sehr großzügig mit seiner Zeit und ist sehr symphatisch.

Maestro Küchl muchos años brillante concertino de la filarmónica de Viena
Another insightful interview. Sehr gut!
Maestro. Legend. God
カラヤンさんがなくなられて30年（2020年で）。彼と同時代の生き証人からいま伝説を聞いておく時期なんですね。レコードで聞ける音楽・サウンドが舞台下客席で聞いても同じ音楽・サウンドでした。それに男性ばかりの演奏で肺活量も筋力もあった楽団でしたし、男性陣の真剣勝負の演奏だと伝わり音量的な迫力はすごかったです。コントラバスが10人もいたりしてましたし。
15:34 good imitation of Karl Bohm's voice :)
Good? PERFECT! And it is mind-blowing how he managed to do it so perfectly in such a short sentence! He has certainly a great ear.
Schöner Bericht von Dr Küche und Pia Bernauer über herbert von karajan
Madame Butterfly ist von Puccini, Herr Professor , nicht von Verdi (1:39)
A very important comment about what a chef conductor is.
Maestro.Gerhart Hetzel would have said the same.

飽くまでも音楽的な教育文化においてはもう、その差は殆ど無いですね。かつて異文化、ヨーロッパ音楽として輸入した日本の富国強兵を命題にした明治時代以降の変遷初期は借り物、行政監察的文化でしかなかったが、今は、全く以て同等かそれ以上と思う。しかし、それは飽くまでも外面の話だ。そこの精神的内覧においては日本人的発想では立ち行かない内奥がクラシック音楽には在る。あなたがヨーロッパ人として、日本の特に「能」での表出如何が難解のようにね。また私はベルリンでの生活🎼も暫くあったので向こうでの友人関係の中で、🇩🇪人をはじめ🇺🇸人、🇫🇷人、🇨🇦人その他の国々の人との対論経験で、それは実感しています。勿論、日本の伝統スポーツ文化である剣道や空手、弓道は自分も経験あるし、今も興味深く観ています。
I've written about that elsewhere about Japanese Kyudo🎯 on the philosophy of Karajan's conduct.
see you later.
@som Slovaak では、どこの国なんですか？
バッカバカしいな、ほら、どんどん吐けよ(笑)。ゲスなんだから、オマエ。どんなに嘘ついても「頭隠して尻隠さず」だ。オマエが言うだけ自分のオマエ自身のルサンチマン、バカさが浮き彫りになってしまう。
@som Slovaak 島国根性？それはまさにオマエの事。オマエさん、自分自身の立場、よくわかってないですね。爆笑🤣
whahaha !
@som Slovaak オマエ、この親にしてこの子あり、だな。クックク(^o^)🤣

Madama Butterfly by Verdi? Annamo bbene....
1,14: lieber Herr Küchl Butterfly ist von Puccini und nicht von Verdi....
Er ist eben ein Vollpfosten
Kompetenter Musiker... absolut... hier klingt es aber so, als würde er Puccini mit Verdi verwechseln... lapsus...
