during this entire piece (esp. the ending), i imagine johann strauss riding a gradually malfunctioning merry-go-round

So you think that the performers shouldn’t get money for their work? It is hard to be a musician, and the must be able to eat just like you.

I looooveee the bassoons in this performance!
I’m very partial to the “Charles Munch & The Boston Symphony Orchestra” recording of this song, but I have to say… the bassoons in this one sound soo much better (in my opinion). Thank you so much for uploading.

i know the Mercury Recordings are done with only one single mic. so maybe they were contracted for this concert..

This intepretation is perfect in tecnique, though, in comparison with Bernstein’s interpretation of 1975, is a little dry of emotion.

what was supposed to be a page in memorian of Johann Strauss II ended in something more complex and disturbing where tha endless rhythm of waltz finishes being a sort of deathly dance, as a symbol of a world condemned to disappear with 1st world war, it was premiered in 1920

He took it off at the right moment. Still is a funny shot. There’s no graceful way of doing it.

This piece is such a contrast: from lilting and sweet to anguished agony and destruction! It never fails to grip me!

La segunda obra no es de Rael. Es el Huapango de Pablo Moncayo, mexicano.
