04 - Adagio Allegro molto e vivace (Beethoven, Symphony 1/4, C major, Op 21, Christian Thielemann, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra)

IV Finale. Adagio - Allegro Molto E Vivace [5:57]
6. Applause & Credits [3:28]

Symphony No. 1 (Written: 1800; Vienna, Austria) is the most Mozartian of the set as the only Beethoven Symphony to include a classical minuet movement.

Christian Thielemann, a native Berliner, has spent most of his outstanding musical career in Berlin, Munich, and now Dresden. The partnership of Thielemann and the Philharmoniker was a Beethoven match made in heaven when these videos were shot in 2008 and 2009. The sum total of these performances more than meets this expectation, in every aspect. Viewing these symphonies in their chronology yields great insights into Beethoven's development as a composer.

The concert was recorded in HD at the Goldener Saal der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna.

  • Greatest performance of Beethoven's 1st I've heard. When Ludwig showed this composition to his orchestral 'Peers' they said it was "unplayable." So they practiced and practiced until they got it right.

  • I think Thielemann can probably take his rightful place as successor to the legendary Herbert von Karajan when it comes to the German repetoire.
