      ​@@thurbine2411 Yes, but it's worth reminding that we should not put our trust and hopes in man since people nowadays tend to jump at any occasion to make their own gods, or think themselves gods - rather than come to terms with the fact that there is only one Savior and it's to Him we ought to turn to seek redemption and resurrection, as He alone died for our sins so that we "may have life, and may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10). This is obviously a talented man who appears to be doing some thinking - and because of it, it's all the more important that neither he nor we fall into the age old trap set up by one that "was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth."

    Unsettling a few well - piped cream cakes not to mention the well- positioned glacé cherries of the musical bourgeoisie. For those of us who grew up with all the maestri of the 1900’s and made multiple journeys with each one of them....well, Currentzis is one new journey to be made. Engage my mind - engage the ears of my soul. Because music is ...an interpretation. Then speak to me, I’m all ears. Only the passive companions of Ulysses had their ears blocked, and having failed the test of the song of the Sirens, perished along the journey. Perished from ignorance....

    In my opinion, Beethoven was mainly and mostly negatively influenced by the grave personal misfortune that befell him, i.e., his hearing loss. That made him "a difficult person" more than his dealings with his contemporary human fellows: the latter was just by-product, a social reflection of this very personal tragedy. It was also the main source of his bipolar disorder. Probably without it, he would remain a very talented follower of his teacher Haydn and of Mozart. I think that his misfortune actually turned out to be the source of a powerful innovatory artistic impulse that was misunderstood and rejected by his average contemporaries. But such is the essence of the genius endowed with a resilient human spirit: never to give up, no matter what difficulties it confronts, and to move the history of art forwards.

    Let me repeat one of my comments here. I never pretend to be mean.
    I'm reading Vladimir Martynov's "The end of the time of the composers" at the moment. He states there that the European civilisation after the 15 century has moved away from the metaphysical ("spiritual") side of the sound. This shift is the beginning of the composition time. The elder civilisations like ancient Greek, Chinese etc. and the traditional societies today are hearing two sides of the sound itself: the physical (literal vibrations of matter which give the sound) and metaphysical (the representation of the cosmic (space) order or God(s)). Classical and modern periods have declined the cosmic side, therefore music has turned into bare vibrations which could express the soul and mind of the composer (contrary to the ancient and music which is anonymous). Beethoven belonged to this very era and there is nothing metaphysical in his symphonies (maybe there is his few pieces like Missa solemnis, but I'm not sure). But we are living in the post (meta-) modern society which is very likely to return to Cosmos. Currentzis is clearly the man of this kind (he proves that when he writes about the "spiritual side" of Beethoven's music), and he literally tries to find the things which Beethoven did not have in mind. And there's no secret why he fails compared to Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his best HIP colleagues. Despite the period instruments, Currentzis' take is not "historical" anymore since the ancient Greeks and postmodernists decline the concept of history itself.
    Just to add. IMHO Currentzis minds himself as an quasi-ancient Greek philosopher. His lifestyle (recorded on cameras, of course) says pretty much for it: he never rushes anywhere, he's a thinker and enjoyer with a cigarette or a glass of old red wine and so on. And, for reason stated above, he completely suites our time, making a metaphysical "aura" around himself and his interpretations. Just like a rock star or myphical hero which are the same today. He says it was a difficult time when Beethoven lived. Yes, it was tough since everything kept changing. By saying this, he means that today it's getting easier to live because as ancient wise men thought, changes keep us further from Cosmos/God and destroy the order of life and, by this, our own health. As a European, I would disagree with him, but times are... hm... changing towards "not changing". Maybe we should really calm down a bit and think about our existence. Not emotionally but rationally which we can do compared to animals. Beethoven's music is extremely intellectual, and this complexity should bear emotions.

    C'est tout à fait faux. Beethoven ne vivait pas au milieu d'incultes et de crétins. La plupart de ses proches étaient des musiciens confirmés, des écrivains de talent, des mécènes un peu plus avisés que ceux qu'avait eu Mozart peu avant, d'élèves relativement à la hauteur, et de gens surtout bien conscients du génie qui était le sien. Il a même été le seul à être un tant soit peu soutenu...En tous les cas s'il fallait faire des comparaisons entre l'éducation musicale et artistique des proches de Beethoven et l'effroyable effondrement en vertus artistiques des directeurs d'orchestre de notre époque, il y a fort à parier que le grand Ludwig prendrait les armes pour faire taire tous ces ignobles bousilleurs de chef-d'oeuvres. N'est ce pas M. Currentzis qui nous massacre le 3e mouvement de la 7e de Beethoven, en direct sur Arte et pratiquement aux yeux du monde entier. Presto ne veut pas forcément courir comme un dératé. Cela mériterait de redescendre à genoux sur les graviers le temple de Delphe du haut jusqu'en bas. Et ce cher Fasolis qui nous fait tout comme un tgv! Bravo la pastorale à la vitesse de la lumière. Et cette chef d'orchestre américaine qui bousille la "marche militaire" de la 9e symphonie...Mais quel trouffion peut défiler à une vitesse pareille? Même pas les chasseurs alpins. Maudits! Maudits! Clamait Jacques de Molay sur le bûcher. De la même manière je vous maudits car c'est à croire que vous le faites tous exprès, et je parierai même que vous êtes bien payés pour cela.

      His musicians worship him - I know one of them quite well. As far as I know, everybody he works with is extremely happy to enter into a contract with him, and the overwhelming majority of them stay on - very gladly! RUDE was Toscanini - absolutely no comparison. One of his most frequent explatives was, "Because you're STUPID!"

      @@rebecca_8888 And his claim that Beethoven’s talent caused him suffering because he was surrounded by philistines who could not understand his music-that’s not even accurate as a historical fact! Beethoven was one of the most _popular_ composers of his day. People loved his music then as they love it now. He had wealthy and powerful patrons that championed him and his music. Beethoven’s celebrity was not unlike, say, John Williams. There is no revision of his popularity and talent, there was no need to resurrect his music because it never died (unlike, for instance, the tragic case of Bizet or even Mahler, who was far more popular as a conductor than composer for much of his life). Currentzis seems to be talking about himself and his critics as much as Beethoven.

      @@rebecca_8888 One more thing: I like many of his recordings, especially some of his Tchaikovsky and Mahler-he himself is insufferable. Another massive ego that looms large to this day is Leonard Bernstein. And yet, Bernstein was a genius who put himself entirely into the service of _the music_ and he shared his knowledge and passion _for the music_ to the world. I can’t imagine Bernstein talking about his personal revelation that gives him perfect access to a composers mind and thoughts and pain and suffering. Music, for Bernstein, was a universal faith. Would you watch _The Young People's Concerts_ hosted by Teodor Currentzis?

    So, he thinks that there were more stupid people 200 years ago than there are now? Why is that? At least it was a time that produced people like Beethoven... I would not trade our age for any other, because of the huge improvements in our lives brought about by Science, Technology and Medicine. But, no, there is no reason to believe that people are smarter on average today. As for his Beethoven , for my personal taste it sounds way too dry and self-serving. And the orchestra is not really the best sounding orchestra one has heard, so to speak. I think Currentzis is really good for 20th century repertory, that's where he is at home.
