Mariss Jansons conducts Beethoven's symphony

[mikepousti]

nice music

[emj0001]

I'm not very fresh on my Beethovan facts....was he completely deaf by the time he wrote this?  Or just getting there?

[thistleinfotech]

@emj0001 - he started losing his hearing around 1796, but it wasn't until around 1814 that he turned completely deaf. This was completed in 1812, so he would have still had some hearing. Not much though...

adamkeeping said this interpretation is boring, and he is right! Of course its to slow, but thats not the point, i dont hear the fire of freedom an happiness. It sounds like if it is produced by a machine and not by Beethoven, where are the triumphant horns?? Where are the playful violins and flutes. I miss nearly eveything, that makes me love this movement. Only the timpani is great.

[adamkeeping]

Stagnant and square. Somehow, they have managed to kill the joy, exuberance and even a great deal of the drama in this music. I had no idea that Beethoven could sound this boring.

[Milky111wtf]

@adamkeeping I agree completely.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! The best in audio and cinematic effect! Bravo, Jansons!

[Kuzya3k]

Awesome interpretation, I never knew the wood-winds had those insidy parts.

[TheGanglo]

i like that!

[teoviolin]

Bad.............

[imsleepyanddead]

you're actually saying that it is bad? or that you just don't like it?

[chingli88]

The tempo is not as consistent as the one by BPO with Abbado in Rome, at times it is too slow.

[imsleepyanddead]

what do you mean by "too slow"? you mean bernstein's last 7th? that was slow, but i liked it.

[abeniu]

I am not certain what you meant by "too slow"! It sounds excellent to me - and get this: I actually like the tempo presented by Jansons. AND, conducting orchestral pieces is not like using a computer: tempi often are determined by the circumstances in which musical pieces are presented.

You sound like a big fan of classical music. I thought you might like to know and propably already know that gramophone voted the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as the worlds greatest orchestra.

This christmas, on the 25th, there will be a live internet broadcast of them, done by MonteVerdi. Check out:
