Dudamel: Beethoven's Ninth, Chorale (Part 3 of 3)

thank you so much for sharing this!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to hear this very well-molded Ninth by Maestro Dudamel. I'll be frank and say I've been slow to laud Dudamel, but honestly, this is great. It shows room for improvement, but it still is in all its essence, how I believe the Ninth should be played. The only little comment I would make is that Dudamel sometimes has very elaborate gestures, but other that its a solid performance from an already great conductor.

damn beautiful

Not bad, but it's a bit dim sounding? Holy smokes, the ending is almost as fast as Furtwängler's versions. This version isn't outstanding to me, but I get the feeling his future Beethoven No. 9 versions will be as good as Toscanini's, Karajan's, Furtwängler's, Böhm's etc.

The ending to this is so epic...

[zubietita]

pues sinceramente me deja mucho que desear ésta versión!! hay otra rabaciones del maestro dudamel dirigiendo la novena de beethoven y con una ejecución mas energica... la sentí un poco apagada incluso en el tiempo.. no sé si era por capacidad de la orquesta que lo dudo mucho.

Dudamel... eres genial

[pkrnger]

I love the sound of the timpani!

[ybrik222]

@pkrnger

There's not much that sounds better than a good timpani, and there's not much that sounds worse than a bad timpani (my high school's).
