Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie, Beethoven 5 - Part 3 (4th mov)

[nandusim]

Absolutely without words!!!

[KingApeiron]

Anyone else notice how bassoons look like bongs?

[FeynmanQuantum]

9:00 ........wow!

[Tokushimaz]

@FeynmanQuantum Indeed indeed nideed! It's really magical!

[strukhoff]

And @beethofan what in hell are those things at 5:00 and other places? Period-instrument alto trombones? Whatever they are, they're magnificent!

[Plahtigoe]

@strukhoff They are natural trumpets

[strukhoff]

Such a remarkable performance. Because it's a "chamber" orchestra, ie, doesn't have as many strings as one might expect, this band has an ethereal lightness and lightning quickness. I imagine this group was about the size of an orchestra in Beethoven's day, albeit with much better musicians today than then. Bravo!

And kudos to @beethofan for knowing to give us a few measures of the third movement to set up one of the greatest segues ever.

[brutusbassoon]

I'm so used to seeing Paavo in Cincinnati where he doesn't conduct in a tux. it's such a strange look to me.

[Selderij]

A fantastic presentation, one of the best for this piece.

[mbalciunas]

What the hell is he conducting? Pines of Salzburg!?

[chanchan79]

QUE BELLA MELODIA MIS OIDOS SE ALIMENTAN CON MUSICA CLASICA

GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO.

[jobywonkinobi]

that conductor is proud as punch and so he should be wit his fantastic orchestra

[jkqualla52]

Thank you to three year old"conductor"Jonathan youtube that inspired us with laughter so we peeked into the grown up world of symphony and Beethoven. Not knowing much classical anything, we cruised youtube for conductors and came upon this video. I LOVE this music. Also found one with conductor Bernstein. Brilliant. Stirring. Uplifting. Gift of my day. Bookmarked this music to help me live well in the world. Gratitude!

[Nuker1337]

I love powerful trombones, trumpets and timpani! This is one of my favorite symphonic movements.

[tionga100]

Excellent performance. I wish I were there, live!!

[Musicalsrockmysocks]

I am learning the whole symphony, and boy, it's not fun on cello.

[agentepiterson]

Perfect. Can't wait to hear him at the Proms.

[BWV1013]

Nooo mamesss¡¡¡¡

[FruitMeate]

Only Beethoven could get away with writing codas that long. The end of a Beethoven symphony is kind of like fighting the last boss of an RPG video game; it feels like it's just about to end for five minutes, there are at least three "fake" lead-ins to the conclusion, and we all love every second of it.

[TigranArakelyan]

great performance, Jarvi is great

[wborgstro]

BEST EVER.

[sebastianrc]

5:20 is just great, a real genius Beethoven.

[hkjg1972]

Wow!  One of the best versions of this movement I have heard. This is perfection!!

[herbiehusker13]

lame response from the audience. This performance deserved a quick and resounding standing ovation.

[DavidTimmePerc]

@herbiehusker13 Yes, you are completely right. I study in Lübeck, not far away from Bremen and I went to some concerts of the Kammerphilharmonie. The people of Bremen are just too well treated with great perfomances, that's why they don't seem to enthusiastic about the music. Nevertheless, they are proud of the orchestra.

[robincla]

@herbiehusker13 There is a custom in Germany not to start applause until the music has changed to silence. Especially when recording as here.

[herbiehusker13]

@robincla That makes a lot of sense. I guess the applause isn't weak, it just seems late.

[Aeythvaenn]

@herbiehusker13 What nonsense, I think you are forgetting that in Europe (or at least Germany) we aren't that exhibitionistic with or strong in expressing our emotions as in the United States (at least that is my experience whenever I'm in the US). I know that at least in some parts (because I am familiar with it) it is viewed as exaggerated to give standing ovations, that is reserved for people like the King/President or whatever or people who won the Nobel peace prise or something similar.

[starborg9]

@Aeythvaenn Many kings and president, most long forgotten, One Beethoven, for ever. And yes, I am from Europe/Sweden.

[Aeythvaenn]

@starborg9 ...and your point is?

[bremer1701]

@herbiehusker13 That is caused of their regional provenance. Most people from Bremen have a hard time to get into something. most of us are more reserved then the rest of the german population. So from a view of a Bremen citizen, this was an outstanding response. ;)

[bktrmbone90]

High Fs and Es in the Alto Trombone...lovely.

[MRK113]

Why using historical trumpets in modern orchestra?

[deepnosepicker]

Harnoncourt addresses this in his recordings of the symphonies with the COE - the kind of piercing, fanfare-like tone required for these pieces can only be achieved by a modern trumpet when it plays far too loud. With natural trumpets, you get that special sound without destroying the rest of the band.

[pgk7285]

An astonishing performance. Wow.

[MisterNoobs2]

Now, This is what I call a REAL conductor!!!

[MisterNoobs2]

I didn't know Vladimir Putin was also a conductor.

[oibien]

"07:46"  arggghhhhhhhhhh powerrrrrrrrrrrrr

[loooxy]

They are using baroque trumpet to play this piece with such great sound, great!!

[Kamaria80]

i have to say that this is my favorite mvt.

[GhuToB]

Järvi's fabulous, and this is one the best performances ever!

Bravo Paavo, Bravo Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie!

[Impressionist1]

Järvi is fantastic, One of the best performances ever!!

[Starz00mer]

Hi, im searching one from Beethoven, where a choir is loud singing at the beginning! Can anybody help me? Thx :)

5*****

[Kuzya3k]

you're looking for beethoiven's 9th buddy

[Starz00mer]

Thank you, man! :)

[Kuzya3k]

your welcome!!

[HarrySchneider]

I agree - a fantastic orchestra. Ludwig's best only to be ruined by the conductor racing everyone along at breakneck speed. I understand he had a taxi waiting for him with the clock running!

He should get a bike so we can say to him "On your bike - pal."

[dxhaloxc]

there is a disagreement on the tempo of this piece.

i think this tempo is right on.

[HarrySchneider]

I've listened to many different versions and the best are conducted by Anton Nanut and Leonard Bernstein. (Well worth a visit on YouTube.) Paavo Järvi doesn't make the crotchets and quavers into real music. He is a robot converting a very fine professional orchestra into unemotional robots like himself. If you play all the different versions scores of time like I have then eventually your soul will speak to you.

[Kuzya3k]

nonono this tempo is too fast, but nonetheless a great performance by the Dutch philharmonic

[schelloma]

I would have to agree with that.

[CutieRazzie152]

im in 6th grade and we're playing this in orchestra

[wangyizhe]

What else can i say

fantastic orchestra

[23danb]

huuuh. This piece almost kills me. It's almost too much for me to hear, and it is so beautiful, that it almost hurts. Just as good as love or sex.

[ADVOCCCAT]

Just wanted to write something like:"Can't hold it back anymore!"

[sonata1992]

Really the best Beethoven I've ever heard...I'm absolutely astounded by this orchestra and Jarvi...

[vuxta1]

wonderful. absolutely breathtaking...

thank goodness were playing this!

[DHWOO]

A FANTASTIC work by Ludwig... yet what a pathetic appalause!!!

I alone would cheer louder than that entire hall!!!!

[HarrySchneider]

There's a good reason for the delayed polite applause. His name is Paavo Järvi. I understand completely the audiences response. Had I been there Then I would have actually walked out at the end.

[thisisclay]

i saw jarvi live and he is one of the most emotional, yet technicaly eficient conductors (unlinke bernstein or karajan, whose interpretations are highly emotional but not very good technicaly speaking) Either way, you complain about the tempo, but, have you checked beethoven`s metronome markings? they are way to fast! and jarvi is the only conductor that has dared to perform at that speed! I agree, no the best beethoven 5th, but listen to his version of the heroica! best interpretation EVER

[roosta0013]

karajan not good technically wtf- it worked though didnt it?!

[HarrySchneider]

Yes I have checked all Beethoven's metronome markings. The debate is now over. It has been agreed that all his metronome markings were wrong owing to the calibration error on his primitive instrument. See further comment below regarding HammerKlavier Sonata Op 106.

[robincla]

@DHWOO There is a custom in Germany not too start applause until the music has changed to silence, especially when recording as here.

[Apalexpe2790]

wonderful, energetic interpretation of Beethoven, The BEST!!!!!

[HarrySchneider]

No it's not!

[aeroces7]

zzzzzzz.
