- Triumph and tragedy: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, performed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Bernard Haitink. The audience loved this 2009 concert at the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam.
(00:00) Introduction
(00:35) I. Poco sostenuto - Vivace
(14:46) II. Allegretto
(22:46) III. Presto
(32:08) IV. Allegro con brio
Ask a person on the street what their favorite Beethoven symphony is, and they’ll likely say the Fifth, or the Ninth. But ask a classical musician, and a surprising number of times you'll hear: The Seventh. "Here every impetuosity, every longing and ranting of the heart becomes a blissful exuberance of joy." Those effusive words came from the pen of composer Richard Wagner, when he was describing the Symphony No. 7 in A Major, opus 92 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827).
Composed between 1811 and 1812, Beethoven's Seventh provoked very different reactions from the beginning - it seems to have touched everyone deeply. The main themes in Beethoven's 7th Symphony are triumph and tragedy - the tragedy having to do with the second movement, a sort of funeral procession. It was so well loved at its very first performance that the audience called for it to be repeated. This movement is marked "Allegretto," which can be translated as "slightly fast." But for a funeral march? Certainly, the first listeners must have perceived it as such. The premiere performance of Beethoven's Seventh was at a benefit concert in Vienna for wounded soldiers and their families in December 1813. It came only two months after the Battle of Nations near Leipzig. The German name is "Völkerschlacht" (Slaughter of the Peoples), one of the most catastrophic wartime events in human history. It also marked liberation from Napoleon's forces. The sad, beautiful quality of the second movement makes it very different from the other three movements of Beethoven's Seventh. Endlessly mournful, but also uplifting, it is still played at funerals today.
But the dense juxtaposition of dignified funeral marches and movements full of exuberant joy in Beethoven's Seventh also caused alienation and even rejection among the composer's contemporaries. "He's ripe for the madhouse!" wrote composer Carl Maria von Weber. Weber had just heard a performance of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony with its rollicking fourth movement. It can be amusing to read how the first listeners reacted to a composition that is today a classic. Weber wasn't the only critical voice. Clara Schumann's father, Friedrich Wieck, thought that "this symphony - particularly the first and the last movements - could only have been written in a state of inebriation."
Fast-forward from then to now: Need a little lift? Then listen to the finale to Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A Major, opus 92, marked "Allegro con brio" (fast, with verve). The tempestuous interpretation by Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam was met with thundering applause and enthusiastic calls for an encore.

I remember being a kid in the car listening to my dad hum the 7th when he drove. I just lost my dad today, but I will forever have him humming the 7th in my heart. I miss him so much already.
My dad and my dad ,for some reason😅 was the only radio we have . I love it
I am very sorry for you loss. May he rest in peace.
We're sorry for your loss. May the 7th Symphony forever remind you of him.
Here listening again and again the #7, just as I was a child. And now i am 80. Why? Because the music comes from the heavens. Regards from Costa Rica❤

We played the second movement at our wedding as the processional at a slightly quicker pace. Still married after 43 years.
We're happy to hear that 🙂
I love it, i would have never thought of using this selection. We used as the processional Brahm's variantian on theme by Haydn... married 27 years! 😃
This composition is astounding particularly when one considers that Beethoven composed this symphony when absolutely deaf. That can, as an understatement, only be genius. Bravo!
❤❤ absolutely right
Love this symphony, I just got through a major surgery. The master helps me feel emotions like no other musician. Listening to it brings tears to my eyes.
To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety,insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug.
Cómo lo has adivinado? Los tres males mezclados, sin embargo siempre tuve una sensibilidad grande a la buena música y esto me salva por ahora
Thank you for your comment. If possible, please comment in English next time so that more people can follow the discussion. All the best!
How do people live without Beethoven. For me it's soul food and I feed my soul everyday with some of his music.
He’s cool (yeah really)
I think the same.
Mahler is up there as well for sure !!!!!
@@scottmiller6495AGREE!!
Die much earlier, like my parents in northern China. This music can extend human life according to Chinese traditonal medicine theory, but during the long history ,we lost our ancient music.
4:52 I vividly remember all these years later that I wept like a baby when I first heard this. Without me knowing, this was exactly what I needed to hear in that movement.
Haitnik always makes me smile when he starts the 4th movement -- so cute! "You all looking at me?" :)
Classical music is the ony place where I can find real rest. Thank your for bringing it to us all.
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads 😊
Totally agree . A refuge that is available to all only if they bother to look
How a man coping with the loss of his hearing created this is beyond my comprehension. After the beautiful pastoral symphonies (6th) he really showed a new level of ingenuity
고전음악 역사에서 베토벤은 삐놓을수 없는 대가이다 이것은 그의 음악이 말해준다
I believe the second movement is conveying his advanced loss of hearing.
He could hear from heaven.
Thank you
@@lisamoag6548 I agree!
Beethoven had a direct telephone line with heaven. The fuge in the second movement is the essence of beauty exploding into magnificent aesthetics waves.
Whilst my father lay in a coma from which he never woke I played him the Deutsche Grammaphonen Beethoven symphonies...his favourite being No7.
After his death I discovered from those who cared for him that his life signs changed and he seemed more restful to them. I cannot hear this without missing him and bathing in the overwhelming beauty of such a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly private story with us, it means a lot!
I too have just listened to this floating in the memory of my father. He was a French horn player and loved Beethoven. Listening tonight has brought an emotional closeness. Thank you for your comment - I felt a poignant kinship with it.
I'm writing my comment from Japan.
It's the first time to listen "Beethoven: Symphony No. 7" full ver.
Now I'm a bit tired. I almost cheer up to listen Beethoven's music.
Now I listen it, I cheer up, make feel better. Thank you. 'Arigatou'.
気に入ってくれてよかったです。ベルリンから日本への挨拶😊
If you have the time, listen to Beethoven Piano Concerto 5, The Emperor Concerto.
@@seatactom2720 3rd Piano concerto is soo beautiful too ...
Please view10000 Japanese Sans performing Beethoven's Symphony #9 Ode to joy..
Absolutely Awesome, Japanese rendering in German ❤❤❤❤❤
Bernard Haitink was one of the most beloved conductors in the last 50 years , he is sadly missed and was fantastic and loved by millions all over the world !!!!!
Yes, oh yes.
I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵, JST、0:50分
Hard to believe he was 80 the year this was recorded - how many people can still perform at such a level at such an age... fabulous!
@@grahamc6534 You're right. I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵,
Well deserved standing ovation for such an epic performance !!!!!
I will always love & thank my dad for teaching me all about music & to love all music, but this symphony is beyond description, Beethoven was truly one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived!
FINALLY put a name to this music that I know well enough to sing along with!!!
I did not grow up with Beethoven despite having one parent, two uncles, and both sets of grandparents who were performing professional musicians!!
What on earth did they listen to? Well done for choosing Romanticism!
Not just the 2009 audience but we are all so privileged to see this splendid performance with a wonderful partnership between Bernard Haitink, musically at his peak, and the Concertgebouw, with great sounde and energy in every section, precision of phrasing and love for playing this music. Thank you DW CLassical for making this available.
Thanks for sharing your impressions!
Second movement is the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

I always new I was different from the rest of my family as I discovered classical music at the age of ten .It moved my soul and my heart . Thank you to all the great composers ❤
Until now, I had no idea how much I needed classical music in my life...honestly, I can't believe how beautiful these works of art are...
Absolutely 💯
Classical music creates a beautiful picture in one's mind.I exposed my wife Classical I told her to close her eyes and draw upon a vision.
Welcome to my world.
I was so fortunate to see Maestro Haitink on numerous occasions. He was truly one of the great conductors. You never got the sense of ego from him; he was always serving the music first and foremost.
You mean the guy waving the stick? I suppose he waved it okay but I think the musicians should get the credit. As far as I can tell they pretty much ignore the guy with the stick.
this is satire right?@@MightyCarnac
One of the best performances
Probably the best with one of
The best orchestras and a
Top class conductors
The second movement never fails to bring tears to my eyes. So beautiful, sad yet hopeful.
Yes I too find the second movement visionary, sad, beautiful. Too me it is a musical metaphor about humanity--sad, beautiful.
@@Rfilaccio Thank you for sharing your opinion with us!

The second movement helped me feel when I lost my mother 2 years ago.
Excellent! Have listened to this work countless times over my 72 years; this is one of the greatest presentations I've heard.
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us in order to not miss out in the future 😊
I was in this concert, unforgettable energy!
How lucky you are.👏
Blessing!!!!
Look at maestro Haitink's LEFT arm/hand from 39:25. It is so powerful. It conveys the utter will power of this conductor and orchestra to do it like they think it should be done. And then during the applause (41:41) there is this little abrupt thank-you movement with the hand. The signature movement of Bernard Haitink. Full of graciousness and happiness.
We're glad you liked the concert. Subscribe to our channel for the latest uploads.
We loved Bernard Haitink
We used to see him with the Boston symphony orchestra
We miss him. A greatest conductor
My greatest favorite of
the nine symphonies. ❤❤
Agreed it touches the heights and deprhs of emotions.
My late mother saw him once on Dutch tv. She did not know much about classical music. But when she saw and heard Bernard Haitink she sat down till the end. Then she said: this is so beautiful. He knows how to make the music
come alive.
The finale of the 7th symphony is one of my favorite Beethoven symphonic movements, it's absolutely mind-blowing.
It just takes off like a Messerschmit about 1/3 thru a graceful height of 40,000ft and unloads
I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵, JST、0:45分
Not to mention the slow 2nd movement. A rare combination of deepest sorrow and a ray of hope to affirm that it wasn't all in vain.
This is a concert to be not just heard, but also seen. I have had this on an LP record for 40 years now, but this video gives me a renewed experience. Every symphony of Beethoven's is a celebration, of music, orchestration and, above all, of this genius.
I have had the great privilege of being in the Prom at the RAH many times over forty years when Sir Bernard conducted. I was present at his last Prom. Watching him leave the stage for the last ever time will live with me for ever. He caught my eye as he left.
This performance, the sound quality, the camera angles are all up the the wondrous ;level of the performance itself. I must say, he takes the last movement a bit faster than I would like, but I loved it all. So glad he performed all the repeats - it makes such a difference !
RIP Sir and Bravo, Bravo.
🎵 Your music is a timeless treasure, a gift to the world that will be cherished and admired for generations to come. 🎁🎶
What incredibly precise conducting.
... in an atmosphere where musicians aren't cramped and still breathe.
Es ist immer wieder ein Genuss, Beethoven- Symphonien zu hören.
Diese aber, unter Bernard Haitink dirigierte, war etwas ganz Besonderes. Eindrucksvoll, wie er als Maestro das Orchester im Sinne
des Erschaffers Beethoven leitete.
Ich besitze sämtliche CDs von Beethovens Werken u.a. aller Symphonien und habe mehrfach diverse Symphonien in der Philharmonie erlebt. Diese Aufführung unter der Leitung Haitinks hat mir besonders gut gefallen, allein schon wegen seines ausdrucksstarken Auftretens.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und vor allem brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt traurig. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit effektiver Dynamik, als wäre es ein Teil seines Körpers. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Mozart used to be my favorite composer, however I'm getting older Ludwig gets to feel much deeper than Mozart he's like chocolate cake.
El gran Director, Bernard Haitink murió a los 92 en 2022. Que descanse en paz.
40:19 the look in the maestro's face, so grateful and relieved…after all the years’ experience and the reputation i can really feel that he still loves music with all his heart
I said exactly the same to myself out loud when it finished. Yes!
This is what “beautiful” means…..I guess- thanks Mr. B.❤
Haitink was a treasure...such a generous and giving man, and a sure hand with everything he touched as a conductor.
Großartiger, ganz toller Dirigent und ebensolches Orchester.
The second movement is so sad yet not without hope. Marvelous performance.
I love Beethoven's music and the 7th Symphony is truly remarkable. I am a dedicated amateur jazz pianist and have even been trying to play the opening theme of the 2nd movement by ear as I cannot read music. Apparently when this great work received its premiere, Beethoven had to be turned round to realise that the audience were on their feet thunderously applauding. The scene is depicted beautifully in the film "Immortal Beloved" from 1995 with Gary Oldman as Beethoven. That this great genius could be robbed of his hearing by his early 30s and yet leave what he did for humanity for all time is truly remarkable. Beethoven represents the triumph over adversity, his life was not easy, and he denied himself the stability of a loving relationship in order to dedicate himself to his music. A genius and also a heroic figure. When I improvise on jazz tunes at the digital piano in my local church I like to think that I am on a low rung of the ladder of musical creativity, a hierarchy of music which leads to the likes of Beethoven at the very top. I love it when he did variations eg Diabelli variations for piano. My favourite works of the German genius are: Symphonies 1,3,5,6,7 and 9; the piano sonatas, especially the later ones; the songs; the late quartets as performed by the very best players. Beethoven also had humour in his music too eg in the Eroica piano variations at one point. We should always encourage family and friends who don't know Beethoven's music to try it, for me it is like a lifelong friend that never lets you down. Great performance from Bernard Haitink and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, much appreciated on a night when I could not get to sleep.
I play the second mov as a valse at my piano also.
The scene you're talking about, based on slightly tuned historical fact, is during the premiere of the 9th symphony.
@@victorross2809 Happy to be corrected, had always thought it was the 7th. It was a very good film as I recall.
“”
Transcendent. I have been transported to another plane of existence.
Conductor really speaks for the music in his approach.
Agora eu entendo perfeitamente, o que meu pai sentia quando ouvia essa Sinfonia. Eu via lágrimas escorrendo pelos olhos dele, mesmo com os olhos fechados. Meu pai, não estava na sala da nossa casa ouvindo a 7a. Sinfonia, a entrada dele no Plano Espiritual, mesmo fisicamente entre nós, era maior demostração de como uma música nos envolve, nos eleva, nos provoca sublimamente esse desligamento físico, nos permitindo alçar as Esferas Superiores. Hoje, ele não está mais presente fisicamente entre nós, mas seu que seu espírito imortal continua entre nós. Essa música melodia belíssima, a 7a. Sinfonia do Inesquecíveis Beethoven, meu amado pai José Dionísio é para o senhor, aonde estiver. Hoje eu sei o que é isso, porque hoje, eu consigo fazer exatamente isso. A Meditação, a Prece, é o mais sublime envolvimento com as Esferas Superiores, Reposição de bom ânimo, fé, confiança, esperança, quando mais precisamos. Paz na alma, Paz no coração, Paz no corpo físico, Paz com DEUS NOSSO PAI e CRIADOR e com NOSSO SENHOR JESUS CRISTO, paz, confiança, fé, esperança e bom ânimo pra continuar seguindo em frente, ainda que espinheiros cruzem nossa marcha evolutiva, seguir em frente. Minha imensa gratidão, meu pai José Dionísio por ter ensinado e mostrado o quanto a Arte, na música, na pintura, na leitura, no Teatro, só nos faz bem. Minha imensa gratidão mesmo, meu pai José Dionísio.❤❤❤!!
Stunning! I have requested this piece for the fall with the orchestra I play with. What a masterpiece of a piece.
Haitink and concertgebouw is all you can ask from classical music
Somebody did a great job of recording this performance. They captured all the instruments and subtleties of the symphony. Thanks for posting.
We're glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I'm always happy to hear recording where the conductor and the recording engineer(s) were on the same page regarding making sure all the component individual colors of the orchestration in the composition can be identified.
Agree 👍🏻
😊 Happy to be living on the same planet with you 🎉 What a treat.
The second movement is used at the end of the movie “Knowing”. It’s perfect.
I was fortunate enough to learn and play this piece at an orchestra camp I attended in the 8th grade, such a fond memory of mine, it will be missed dearly.
Maravillosas las nueve sinfonias del maestro de maestros L. V. Beethoven, pero ésta 7ma la más viváz y elevadora, jamás cansa oirlo😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
If I am not mistaken this version of Beethoven´s symphony no 7 becomes an example of something that is really good from the start, and then becomes even better under Bernard Haitinks conducting. Never have I heard such a splendid version of this symphony, with an orchestra so full of spirit that it can lift the roof of this Concertgebouw many meters. All under maestro Bernard Haitink, he is the real hero of this performing.
Well go listen some more... Lol...
@@RoboticsBay ???
@@RoboticsBay Now I understand you dont like this music at all. So why bothering us loving this? Shame, shame on you.
@@RoboticsBay I regret my words yesterday! Sorry for that.
The 2nd movement is my favourite. I can relate to the intensity being somewhat tempestuous myself. It's so beautiful. This was the first symphony I ever heard performed professionally so it will always have a near & dear place in my heart. Danke Herr Beethoven! =)
There are four movements:
0:36 poco sostenuto
14:48 allegreto
22:48 presto
32:09 allegro con brio
Superb! Thans Beethoven. Thanks Haitink. Thanks Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Thanks DW. What a joy moment you offer to me.
You're welcome! We're glad you enjoyed it.
I am hispanic and i love Bethoven clasic music and all classic music from then other great composers
Bravo, Maestro Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra! I've been a bit obsessed with Beethoven's 7th for some time, and had the pleasure of attending the Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra's performance of the 7th early this year. 2022 has been my personal "Year of Beethoven"; I've attended a number of concerts by both the FWSO and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and heard several Beethoven symphonies (including the symphony of symphonies, the 9th) and piano concertos. What a thrill it's been!! Though nothing beats a live performance, listening to/watching all the classical music on YTube is the next best thing. I'm grateful to all the musicians/orchestras and to YTube for providing such a rich diversity of music for us to enjoy 🥰🎵

Definitely underrated

Ripete Per Sempre....Immortale💪🎶
One of the best orchestra conductors we have ever had. His performance and his performance in orchestral direction made him a marvel.
This year, I heard no.7 symphony 3times.
But this is undoutedly the best one.
The ©️oncertgebouw orchertra and maestro Haitink are the one of the best in the current world.🎉❤
It’s good , impressive
I don’t know about giving the ©️any credit for the Concertgebouws excellent achievement, I haven’t followed the money trail on that one.
Most likely these people have regular jobs and do this to be a part of something great.
I have no words to describe the joy this music brings to me. Beethoven, Conductor Haitink and the Royal Contertgebouw Orchestra are the best combination ever!
I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵, JST、0:57分
Ahhhhhha...as creatures made in the image of the Logos personified being able to perceive and enjoy the transcendental expression. Thank you!
Surely one of the finest performances of this symphony. There's just nothing like conducting for the music instead of ego, as it seems to me. Very big thank you.
We're glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I agree.
Na team Leibowitz
Spot on, Emma.
I was 10 years old the first time I heard classical music, specifically the 7th symphony part II Allegretto , It was like my brain 🧠 went 🤯, since then I started listening and doing research about this kind of music and is when I started listening this marvelous masterpieces from Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart , etc.
Thanks for sharing your journey with classical music.
No hay sinfonía mas sublime que la Séptima de Beethoven. Sus sinfonías nos hacen ver toda la trayectoria del Maestro, su tragedia, sus miedos, sus Iras, pero también sus alegrías, te hace entrar en su mente, y la Séptima es danza, rabia, lagrima y lucha...Hasta alcanzar su cúspide con la Novena... Beethoven eres Eterno....
Beethoven was without doubt one of the greatest geniuses of all time. And the 7th was a truly great work
@@MarcusEinfeld absolutly
Well said
Excelente comentario, dicen los entendidos que la música es extraída de las dimensiones superiores de la naturaleza del cosmos, ésta 7ma sinfonía sería de la septima dimensión, del Atman.
Esta música es anterior al Big-band, que se encarnó en Beethoven, como Cristo se encarnó en La Virgen María
I feel so lucky to have this piece played by this orchestra and conductor at my disposal anytime and anywhere.
Beethoven symphony , seven , is very , very , beautuful ❤
I used to listen to the Symphony at very low Volume on a clock radio all night long from bed time until sun up awake and sleeping it helped me through the night and I often know the peice of music and composer when I here just a bit. Not so much these days my mind is too full of other things. I still love it at 55
Let me guess; now you play it LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
I do exactly the same routine since I've been 25, I'm now 73
You can never go wrong with the Concertgebouw! Beethoven's Seventh Symphony has been my favorite for about 30 since studying the Allegretto, but my favorite is the last movement which always reminds me of a Hoedown. Anyone who thinks Classical music is snoby should give the last movement a listen. I've worked with many amateurs and children who were far more snoby than Beethoven.
Heaven sent🕊glorious music.
tbh the conductor is prolly the most impressive to me for
1. Being able to conduct such a large group
2. Being able to conduct with such spirit and precisiveness
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us in order to not miss out in the future 😊
Haitink, the all time Maestro, unsurpassed, especially with this sort of repertoire, simply fantastic!
the precision of Haitink is exquisite. In fact it's mesmerising
Tears of joy rolling down my cheeks
I listen to this almost everyday and the feeling is same what a great performance by all the musicians and conductor ❤❤
O Beethoven you Beauty ❤️
Tears shall never be an argument in the discussion of classical music! I will try to dry up my own tears after writing his down!
Believe me this is great music at any time, but it's great for walking, especially that last movement.
Amen.
Ausgezeichnet
Eine schöne Symphonie!!! Gut eingespielt!!! Ganz toll!!!
This performance so reminds me of that of Carlos Kleiber + Concertgebouw. That good (and somewhat similar, in a very good way). Haitink is great, and of course Concertogebouw delivers the finest. Love it.
Great performance, top conductor.❤❤❤
In my opinion Bernard Haitink was the most Beethovenian conductor.
Haitink was still energetic at that time. What a great performance.
Beethoven is very Good and beautiful. ❤
World class conductor.
Beethoven at his finest . Thank you Mr. Haitink for a superlative presentation . You do Mr. B proud.
YES!! He takes the repeats. What a bass section! Bravi!
Чудове виконання! Особлива подяка диригенту та оператору по запису . Думаю, що автор сiмфонii був би задоволенний!
my favorite movement in this symphony is the 2nd movement.
same 🙋♀️ 14:46
Unglaublich schön! Ich liebe diese Symphonie!
Beethoven.... Cos'altro si può dire che non sia stato detto? Energia, umanità, caparbietà per gioire di questa vita, nonostante le avversità..(la sua reazione alla sordità resterà una lezione di vita eterna.)
I’m 20 and think this music is beautiful and art in its own way never forget this masterpiece ✨
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us in order to not miss out in the future 😊
Good for you appreciating this rich music at such a young age.
Que de Bonheur et d'allégresse dans cette Symphonie, faire oublier "les airs tourmentés et trop sérieux" de ses portraits estimés par certains💖
Love the second movement most, but the whole thing is a work of musical beauty and genius.
That melody is perfect. And then when the counter melody comes in and the dynamics rise, it’s simply sublime.
Haitink's conduction inspires me to learn music. Ecstactic.
The final movement... Sublime.
I like that the camera is so much focused on Haitink himself in his conducting of this orchestra. It becomes a memory of the importance he had in classical music for so many years. Thank you, great master.
An excellent balance between the conductor and the musicians. Both in the camera work.
How I love this second movent!!!
I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵, JST、0:51分
Wspaniały koncert, gratulacje
33:55 HOORAY! He takes the repeat! I HATE it when they don't!
We miss you down here, Maestro.
This is stunning. If there's a better live performance of Beethoven 7 I'd like to know. Consummate musicality from conductor and orchestra with passion, precision and brilliance. Damned fine recording too. Bravo everyone.
What tempi! A conductor who truly understands "con brio". I could listen to this all day and night.
magnifico !!!!?!??
Agree this is an amazing performance. Suggest also viewing the 2016 performance of this symphony by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, which is also very good. All nine Beethoven symphonies are worth a listen!
He nails it. However, I prefer Kleiber’s Allegretto
Karajan?
The excitement of this performance is not created by speed or volume, but by fantastic texture. How much is the conductor, or the players, I can't say.
We're glad you liked it! :)
