Such a good man and excellent conductor. I wish I could have met him. Loved by everyone and such a great personality. You will be missed, my friend, even thought I didn't know you.
Lying here, hearing this symphony for the first time. That C major climax in the 2nd movement is divine, from another place. This whole work seems to be entirely.
Have you listened to Hans Rott's first symphony? It reminds me of this one. Sadly, Rott was tortured by personal demons and died quite young in an asylum.
1:4413:1017:29 I was listening to this piece late at night. When the first two of those passages played, I was moved to tears, but when that last excerpt played, I started crying like a little baby. This is, in my opinion, the greatest piece ever written, for it contains everything. Every emotion; from heartbreaking agony to ebullient joy, from ominous peril to triumphant fanfare. I am not a religious man, but there is something almost divine about this piece as if through it I could hear the voice of God himself.
I believe God inspired Bruckner as He did Bach. The opening melody is a true wonder - unraveling so gracefully and slowly that it took me a while to even hear it as a unit.
This is truly one of a mere handful of "the best" -- most titanic orchestral pieces. The 3rd movement is my favorite. It's relentlessly lyrical and maintains dramatic energy. The beauty is as overwhelming as the second day of hiking in the mountains. ...Especially that Wagner tuba chorale in the 3rd movement.
Josef Mengele enjoyed listening to musically talented camp prisoners play Schubert for him and other SS men after a horrible day's 'work' at Auschwitz. Doesn't seem to add up and sometimes makes me question my own appreciation of music.
The Seventh Symphony had its first performance in Leipzig in 1884 and was an enormous succes, the ovation lasting for 15 minutes. His music gained increasing performances, particularly the Seventh Symphony and Te Deum , which completed in 1884 and considered to be his greatest work.
It's always wonderful to see Sabine Meyer playing in a world-class orchestra, like the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in this live concert. To get a glimpse of her playing, try a short take at 8:28. There are numerous others in the video recording of her playing. Every time I saw her, I remembered how she was discriminated against by the male players of the Berlin Phil. Of course, it's how her admirable music making contributed to the whole of the Bruckner 7 that counts.
It may not have occurred to you that applause at the end of a performance is mostly about appreciation of the players, as in most cases the audience is already familiar with the music.
Bruckner was a master of using music to represent the frustrations and exaltations of the human spirit in its encounter with reality! Especially in his symphonies!
@@deepspacelongarm Most popular accounts describe him as an out of place "country bumpkin" who was a spectacular failure with women. I personally love the thought that such grand, magnificent beauty came from a humble and externally rejected soul. The worship of the superficial blinds this fallen world to the precious beauty that is right in front of it. As Christ said, "They have had their reward." "This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."
@@deepspacelongarm Abbado was shy but not humble. You can hear that the musicians felt comfortable when he was at the baton. Less so in rehearsals, but that made them look forward to the performance. Which frequently went rather well.
so beautiful and abbado is such a wonderful conductor, i love watching him conducting bruckner's symphonies, he seems to have deep affinity with them; his conducting of the 9th is just superb

Incredibly great. This man will be so missed. And someone who could look encouragingly at the brass and still get exactly what he wanted. Clearly loved by the orchestra as well.

The Radio Announcement of Hitler's Death The ninety minutes before the announcement of Hitler's death were perhaps the most dramatic broadcasts of the Second World War for the German Radio. Stand-by warnings were repeated continuously. On May 1, 1945, while the world waited in suspense, the solemn music of Wagner was broadcast from the remaining stations of the “Reich” Frequent “Achtung” interruptions came with fanfares and drum-rolls. From Bremen, in English, listeners were told that an announcement by the German Government would be broadcast at 9.00 pm. Not since Hitler came to power had that term “German Government ”been used over the radio. All major announcements were made “by the Führer” From 9.00 until 9.30 pm, Hamburg Radio was broadcastingr Wagner's «Tannhäuser» and a Piano Concerto by Carl Maria von Weber. At 9.40 pm, the “Stand-by” warning was given again. This was followed by Wagner's “Twilight of the Gods” An announcer came to the microphone, at 9.43, shouting: “Achtung ! Achtung! The German broadcasting system is going to give an important German Government announcement for the German people” More music followed, from Wagner's “Rhinegold” At 9.57, the “Achtung” warning was repeated and the announcer added: “We are now going to play the slow movement of Bruckner's 7th Symphony” (The recording used was probably the Karl Boehm 1943 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Other possible recordings were either the Telefunken recording with Wilhelm Furtwangler conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, or Georg-Ludwig Jochum's performance with the Reichs Bruckner Orchestra of Linz recorded by the RRG in June of 1944. - Ed.) Abruptly at 10:25 pm, the music stopped. There came 3 rolls of the drums, a moment's silence, and then, the news of Adolf Hitler's death. This was followed by the German National Anthem the “Horst Wessel” song, more drum-rolls, and a 3 minutes silence. All German radio stations scrapped the midnight news bulletin and repeated the announcement of Hitler's death.
A lot there where skeptics about Bruckner.... I adore him and the way he moves you! Great performance. Such inner beauty for an introvert where he let the light lay within to cascade out in the way in which it does in columns effortlessly. It is such a contrast to the outer life which he lived and fascinates me. He defied the mold and proved that light could exist with such a dark and isolated upbringing and way of walking through life . I always give it my ovation. Today predictions and projections and patterns dictate who we are and what we are elligable for. Bruckner says those predictions are never always right with his music over a hundred years ago. It reflects in a modern way which is so very satisfying and hopeful. One who can truly speak to the soul through music is timeless. Bruckner's ability to crush what you preconceived about him through the literature about him moves me as a timeless lesson to not forget. 👏 Fabulous.
Bravo! Uma pequena amostra da obra "do músico de Deus" (epíteto que a Bruckner atribuiu o crítico de arte Franklin de Oliveira (em Literatura e Civilização).
Abbado amo la musica de Bruckner y de Mahler tal como Mahler admiro la obra de Bruckner. Aqui se siente la honda conexion pese a las diferencias de factura musical.
Bruckner, like no other, managed to hit a very specific emotional level in his symphonic writing. So specific that an accurate description escapes me, but I will do my mortal best… in his orchestration, he somehow managed to achieve perfect middle ground between absolute grandeur and solemn intimacy, which allowed out of his pen to flow some of the most mysterious, hauntingly, ACHINGLY beautiful music ever. Only Bruckner could satisfy emotional itch this deep….his music transcends all that we know and see
@@berber1930 I agree with this statement. Generally, the same style persists through 9 symphonies. There are different musical ideas, but descending scales, violins playing in the faster time than the brass section, build-ups into climaxes with brass fanfares, the same elements persist.

Great performance overall and unmatched brilliance of maestro Abbado. Certainly one of the best interpretations of Bruckner's Seventh...
I don’t think so. For me, this is Bruckner in his pure form. Actually, MAHLER who was influenced by Bruckner (you can se that when Mahler was one of the few people who stay until the end of The Bruckner’s first symphony). But I agree that their music had some things in common.
J'ai lu une fois que Mahler dans le coda du 1. mouvement de son 6ieme symphonie fait référence a Bruckner 7ieme. Mais a quelle partie? Je suis curieux.
Porque en una actuacion en directo, el publico responde a mas emocion, mas apuro y mas volumen - manteniendo el publico en feliz es uno de los peligros de actuaction en directo. Live audiences applaud spirited, faster, louder, performances.Y tambien Abbado es mas energico. And indeed, Abbado is rather spirited. Pero las partes que son despacios y dulces son bellas tambien. But the slow, sweet parts are beautiful too. This is the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, incl. some Berlin Phil players.
@@johna7564 I've listened to a lot of Bruckner in the last year and I became very interested in this music. No. 7 is still my favourite, the adagio build-up is so profound, it makes such a big impression. All Bruckner symphonies have some brass fanfares, it really like the uniform style of all the nine symphonies. No. 8 has an incredible finale - adagio pales in comparison and for me, it's a wait for the best bits.

Porque en una actuacion en directo, el publico responde a mas emocion, mas apuro y mas volumen - manteniendo el publico en feliz es uno de los peligros de actuaction en directo.

But the slow, sweet parts are beautiful too. This is the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, incl. some Berlin Phil players.
I noticed a strange whistle in the second movement. Great symphony, and thank you for sharing. Very bad audio quality though.
First time hearing any Bruckner's work, it's really good. He's more traditional than Mahler, I mean, string sections are emphasized a lot here.
Bruckner no. 8 is my absolute favorite!
@@johna7564 I've listened to a lot of Bruckner in the last year and I became very interested in this music. No. 7 is still my favourite, the adagio build-up is so profound, it makes such a big impression. All Bruckner symphonies have some brass fanfares, it really like the uniform style of all the nine symphonies. No. 8 has an incredible finale - adagio pales in comparison and for me, it's a wait for the best bits.
Holy fucking shit I had no idea Bruckner could write like this for orchestra.
So where have you been?

Wonderful.
50:28, look how Abbado enjoys the acoustics... Fantastic man!!!
Played by Hamburg radio on the evening of Tuesday, May 1, 1945.
Natalia Gutman in the orchestra! How cool is that?! :))
