L.V. Beethoven - Symphony No.3 E-flat major, Op.55 "Eroica" / Jordi Savall

[UNDENATUREDisaword]

I've become aware of something: Beethoven could say more with less in one symphony (and within a single movement!) than either Mahler's or Bruckner's sprawling sound contraptions.

[jkryanspark]

It is Roger Norrington, I think, who said that Beethoven was like Haydn gone mad. I like the fast tempo. Beethoven was a rock star. This rocks.

[minaolenmarkus]

truly incredible! adagio assai! greetings from Estonia!

[Alexberryscarylovee]

@lovly399 it should have four movements. I love beethoven too :)

[serialkiller1990]

To fast for my taste, and little vibrato.

[ArtD42]

@serialkiller1990 Both of which are historically accurate.

[lovly399]

Is this the only part to it? or is there more? PLEASE ANSWER ME! I'm just starting to listen to calssical music and Beethoven is officail my favorite and more respected.

Did Beethoven composed this symphony in a glory of Napoleon?

[snoopdogg111000]

@90zlaya Yes, first he dedicated this symphony to Napoleon, but then he disappointed in him and deleted his name from this symphony.

[90zlaya]

@snoopdogg111000 I have seen this scene in "Immortal Beloved". Thrilling.

[joboy1992jesto]

@90zlaya yes but when napoleon crowned himself emperor, he realized he was also just some sort of mercenary so he tore the dedication page in the front of the piece and named it "Eroica" instead

[juanmedina1169]

This orchestra is a monster at playing

[TrueAck]

Not even the whole song...this video ends somewhere around measure 500/700. Good quality, though.

my sub just inhaled my cat

[Iasamei]

the quickest version and most powerful.... love you beethoven!

[MaxRideWizardLord]

Why everyone commenting about JB on beethoven music?

[AFallingCrate]

Wow great quality recording. So far as the interpretation goes.... epic win..... Wish bernstein's recording had this quality... omg I can hear everything!

[john7maheras]

the most important is that beethoven couldn't heart and this human wasy god!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SirSebastianWang]

Good, but sounds a little flat...

...sounds like it's in D major.

[ThomasHorter]

@SirSebastianWang That's because it is on the period instruments. Most of the modern period instruments are made and tuned to A=415/392 Hz, making it sound much lower. I think though actually if they were on the correct Viennese instruments the pitch would actually be higher. So I'm not really sure what they are playing on...

[wcbroccoli]

@ThomasHorter Historically, winds have always determined the tuning. I think wind pitch was already going up in Mozart's day. Strings can, and did, play at organ pitch (A465) up until the early 18th c. Organ pitch was based on Renaissance wind pitch. In Weimar, Bach performed his church music at organ pitch, as did Heinrich Schuetz before him. But winds coming out of France in the late 17th c. had to be tuned A415/392, which led to chamber pitch, even in church music.

[Elainelps0421]

Do you have all 4 movements on your playlist and can we hear them in order?

[DanDaMan2794]

beethoven pushed the envelope when he wrote these symphonies in the classical era

[thefuzzykid]

[atrebil71]

La Versione dell'Eroica più veloce che io conosca.

[thebloads]

Brash , Impulsive, and bursting with joie de vivre. Perfectly suited for this piece

[CarlGauss]

Wild! Always love a fresh interpretation

[antoinezygfryd]

La musique classique est un peu comme le concept de dieu,elle nie le temps,l'évolution,l'adaptation de notre espèce à un nouvel environnement.

D'un regard cosmique la musique dévoile (je présume)en échappée la déréliction de notre condition.

Sa répétition me gêne....Fürtwangler,Scherchen,­Rosbaud...ont porté cette oeuvre à son sommet,-alors pourquoi remettre ça?je ne comprends pas cette monomanie.

[madaboutvoice]

Hi Protestant7 ,

I really appreciate your channel and want to say thank you very much on a great job. Such an excellent selection and great sound quality.

Cheers!

[adrian50centy]

excelent!

[metal8rocker]

wonderful

[sonata1992]

One of only two that take even close to the right temp (the other being the deutsche kammerphilharmonie) and this is the only baroque recording I know of...

awesome.

[Nachtmarchen]

The fastest one recorded (yet still five beats slower than the 180 bpm demanded by Beethoven) is Hermann Scherchen's legendary, incredibly intense (and sloppy, but the sheer energy makes up for all the lapses in the ensemble) 1958 recording of this symphony with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. Definitely worth purchasing. This is a brilliant recording as well, incredibly punchy though I'd wish for a little bit more lyricism between the harsh parts, like in Harnoncourt's recording of it.

[sonata1992]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[egymagyar1111111]

from where the 180 metronom bit? is it by Beethoven himself or just a transplant? it is a nice vivid recording, great sound quality, fresh... should we listen to it 10 times to enjoy all of the details?

[Nachtmarchen]

Beethoven wrote "dotted half = 60" over the score, which translates to 180 beats per minute.

[unagondolaunremo]

wonderful sound, very heroic and at the same time very clear: you can hear all the instruments. Listen the flutes: charming!
