Ludwig van Beethoven - Egmont Overture, Op. 84
Ludwig van Beethoven was contracted in 1809 to compose the music to Goethe's Egmont by the Burgtheater in Vienna. After the piece was first performed, Beethoven sent an extract to the famous poet, who was reportedly very impressed by the music. Goethe's tragedy describes the story of the Earl Egmont, who led the uprising of the Netherlanders against the ruling Spanish in Brussels in the sixteenth century. He failed in his intentions and was condemned to death. The entire Overture is written in the sombre key of F minor, which is often used to display pain and suffering in music. In the slow prelude the funeral march of the opressed resounds, following which Beethoven dynamically and energetically portrays tha main theme of the young Earl Egmont. The gentle secondary subject of the piece reflects Egmont's love for his beloved Klärchen. The overture ends with the sound of his fanfare, triumphant and full of expectation. Although the stage music was very popular in its day, and indeed the piece was also arranged fot the concert-hall, nowadays the Overture is rarely performed.

This piece almost moves me to tears EVERY time.
I didn't realize Perlman started conducting....Quite a surprise actually.
He hasn't
@@stephenestall9044 😂😂😂😂
He came to California a few years ago where I witnessed him with what I believe was the Los Angeles Philharmonic if I remember correctly. Besides one extra song I cannot recall, he conducted an exquisite version of the Variations on a Theme by Haydn by Johannes Brahms after being the soloist for Bach's First Violin Concerto. He has a good style, albeit a unique one. Rather than being a rhythm counter, he focuses a lot on bringing the emotion out of the orchestra by moderating the dynamics of the different instruments. Quite captivating actually!
I recently heard strains of the introduction behind a video, and was compelled to hear the whole overture. This is an outstanding reference performance. Excellent pacing and balance. Kudos to all.
So is that how this music is called, I knew I had heartd it before. How I love it.
What a wonderful surprise seeing maestro Perlman conducting!
Bravo.
I think so, too. Perlman conducted Beethoven? Was concert? The Egmont? Only surprise !! I am removed.
Wonderful performance.
This is the first time I've ever seen Itzhak Perlman conduct an orchestra.
Pure delight.
Had no idea Itzhak Perlman conducted!
Also saw some familiar faces; I think, from Karl Richter's Orchestra.
It has been a long period since the sonorous strains of Itzhak Perlman’s music have graced my auditory senses. However, this occasion may mark the inaugural instance of my perception of Perlman in the capacity of a conductor. Hitherto, my acquaintance with his musical renditions was confined solely to his mastery of the violin. In his role as a conductor, he also infuses the orchestra with a palpable exuberance and elicits a sound of profound depth.
Bravo Maestro!
bravo！
Perlman direttore?... P E R O'... Bellissima esecuzione!
the flutes sound really good in this one
Impresionante la calidad de la orquesta.Y no habìa visto nunca a I.Perlman como director.
Como vilinista extraordinario;como director de orqesta,magnìfico.
Obrigado . Thankyou .
Bravo
impecable
Esse espetáculo convida os brutais senhores de conflitos regionais , a baixarem a guarda .
Heartfelt and very
beautiful.
this is such a nice song. i have never heard a unique song like this
The hero of the Dutch struggle for independence, Count Lamoraal van Egmont (1522-1568), belongs to the old world with his nobility, and he counts on the fact that the Spanish king will respect his rules. However, the Duke of Alba uses the full power bestowed upon him by the king and has Egmont imprisoned and executed for alleged treason. This sparked the Dutch Revolution. Dramatist Goethe wrote a play on the subject, and Beethoven composed music for it. -- (I'm Czech)
It is not a song.
0:39 how the fuck do you know when to start with that signal? xD
They're watching the concertmaster, not him.
have to write an essay on this... the fact that the music was so deep and genius might not help me out here... I can has been OOFed
Ahh man, the piece was just getting started; I was waiting to hear that timpani roll with which the next movement begins... too bad maestro Perlman didn't conduct the whole piece!!
Además de un virtuoso del violin es un gran director.
Y como mides que es buenísimo director? Jajaja
Bravo ✔
Well done
Strikes right at the heart.
Magnífico, grande compositor e grande regente. Parabéns!
01:36 New Entry! Timpani joined!
I kind of like it!
참 좋습니다(very good)!
Itzhak Perlman, der Welt Vorzeigemusiker Nr. 1, beweist sich auch als Dirigent der Spitzenklasse!
Beethoven, natürlich eine traumhaft schöne Musik! Ob es allerdings, auf Dauer, ohne Musik Richard Wagners, sinnvoll ist, liebes Israel Philarmonic Orchestra, wage ich zu bezweifeln!
Las obras de los grandes maestros musicales, son patrimonio de la humanidad, deben comprtirse sin fines de lucro, coloqué una copia de este video en mi cyberespacio y fue bloqueada por copyrigth, ¿cuáles derechos de autor? Los de Beethoven...! Pienso que él sería el primero en protestar semejante plagio de su obra, al ser bloqueada por quienes pretenden tener un privilegio.
was the Orchestra LATE starting ?
it seemed they started 1 or 2 seconds AFTER the conductor gave the obvious signal.
if you develop a deeper understanding of conducting technique and the way orchestras respond to signals then you will understand why they played "late" (actually right on time, based on what he gave). I used to not understand it myself, until I became a conductor.

If possible, is there any better way you can summarize it or explain it briefly; because it just seems like the gave a cue and nothing happened for 2 seconds.
i'd be grateful if you can explain it to me.
Yes (also conductor speaking), they were 'togetherish' because of the concertmaster (1st violin). It's conducted in a subdevided 3, you can clearly see his intentions. Orchestra was probably late because they have few rehearsals as a professional orchestra and the tempo is rather slow, so they kept being uncerten. His expression after the late start does 'prove' it to me.
@@frankborder glad someone else gets it!

Very clinical and played way to slow. Beethoven was incredibly specific on his metronome markings. Claudio Abbado's version is exactly how Beethoven had written it and it is incredible.
Perhaps you ought to listen to Furtwangler's interpretation, probably regarded by many as the finest.
Yes you are quite right it is one of the finest. I should have quantified my statement as more modern interpretation.
Beethoven's metronome markings were famously inaccurate tho.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I saw him in korea a few yrs ago
When did he become a maestro???
G-O-O-S-E-B-U-M-P-S start to finish.
Mm..... Lenta e con poco pathos questa esecuzione anche se complessivamente non è male....preferisco mille volte Karajan, Abbado o Ozawa
Not nearly enough bite and dynamic contrast. Too smooth. Shame.
Kinda like his violin playing, then. 😎
Without emotion
Neil Diamond copied the opening bars (for the Jazz Singer)
8:21 Jesse and Mike?
Impecable extraordinaria interpretación La Sinfónica de Israel mostrando el corazón bueno de la nación cuyos dirigentes quieren aniquilar a Palestina.
harvey's song!
finally!

Immense déception !! Une version sirupeuse, sans rythme, mais surtout sans émotion aucune... Et ce ne sont pas les grimaces de Perlman qui changeront quoique ce soit ... :(((
형이 왜 거기서 나와?
Solo comparable con la dirección de Solti y Abbado
He doesn't know how to conduct. I'm so sorry.
while I must respect Maestro Perlman's status, I really do not enjoy his conducting at all
Unfortunately true
A fine executant or composer does not necessarily make a good conductor (my subjective list of “nays” would include Stravinsky, Fischer-Dieskau, and Ashkenazy). I have acquaintances in a major orchestra who shudder when they hear Perlman has been engaged to guest -conduct, respect him though they do as a soloist. His “Egmont” Overture is leaden, nothing special here…and what about that horrid addition of a fortissimo timpani roll at measure 9?!?
@@musicianinseattle Bernstein most certainly would be an exception. He is one of the greatest conductors to ever live and was a prolific composer
