When I was a child, I bought a CD of Beethoven's 4th Symphony because it was cheaper than the other ones. I still can't forget the feelings when I started to listen to the CD on a rainy day. Since then, this symphony has been my favorite one.

Underappreciated masterpiece. Audiences haven't connected with it as with the other symphonies, no idea why. From what I've read it's been the red-headed stepchild of the 9, ever since LVB's lifetime.

[@independent6271]

Can't get enough. Musicians and conductor at their peak. Camera work tops.

[@robertmcqueen289]

Magnificent performance. Have always felt that the 4th & 8th symphonies by Beethoven have been overlooked. They're unfortunately stuck between the 2 more played symphonies on either side. The master Beethoven never wrote bad music, ever. Once again. Fantastic performance by the leader, principles, musicians & maestro. Beethoven rocks.🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎻

[@GuruRasaVonWerder]

oh I see a documentary where when he was severely depressed he wrote some ghastly music - the entire audience walked out lastly his Patron a Church Prelate, who said, upon leaving, "For sure you have gone deaf" - IMO he was venting the desperate mind set he was in, it was his Truth.......Art is truth. You cannot write happy music when miserable or miserable music when you're happy.

[@peaceaimehirwa8640]

i feel that way too. Almost all of us are introduced to Beethoven with the 5th symphony, and we all expect his music to make you feel the way it does! And as you explored him more, you kind of feel like the 4th and 8th are not as good as the other symphonies! But in reality they are as good, and they can take to different places, according to how you are feeling, genius.

[@teejayaich4306]

I have to say I very much relate to what you said. I've always focused on the 3'rd, 5'th, 6'th, 7'th, and 9'th. In a way it's forgivable since all of these are among the most beautiful and moving music ever written. Yet this very night I have decided that when I do my sequence, I should give the 4'th and 8'th just as fair a hearing and no doubt I have only to gain from this!

[@LinusBerglund]

I have always said it about the HR woodwind section: no one is a big "star" like many players in the big German radio orchestras are. But what does it matter? This playing is nothing short of absolute world class, with a spirit no other orchestras have. I am playing this next week with my orchestra conducted by Maxime Pascal, and whenever I can I look at the recording by HR as my study material. You are truly an inspiring orchestra!

[@ericvlakameyev2265]

[@reybarreto7979]

Majestic and powerful music that could only come from the passionate soul of Beethoven, and this orchestra is just the right vehicle for it, a richly talented orchestra led by one of the most animated conductor's I've ever seen. The energetic and grand sweeping gestures of this young conductor's arms and the eloquence of his graceful, expressive hands beautifully convey the tender, sweet passages as well as the exolosions of boundless exhuberance of this symphony.

Brilliant! The tempos are perfect, and the voices are so clearly intimated, even in the blinding fast last movement. How did the bassoonist hit each note with that sharp staccato? Wonderful - Orozco-Estrada is now my favorite interpreter of the Master.

My favorite of all Beethoven's symphonies. Far too underrated.

[@Cherubini47]

I don't think it's underrated. It's magnificent and delightful symphony,on par with the seventh, but for different moods and conditions of emotional receptions.

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

@@Cherubini47 He obviously means underrated in popular perception relative to the others. in that, he is correct. No reason that it should be less popular, though.

[@johnlawrence2757]

Certainly the most cerebral of the 9! I should think it’s quite difficult to play, perhaps that’s why it isn’t performed as much as the others. Don’t you think the video director has done an unusually good job in following the instruments as they play into the symphony ? And with an audience present as well! Must have taken a great deal of thought and preparation - with full co-operation of the orchestra !!

[@awakenedbahamut2574]

I really like his first symphony. I think it's the most well-rounded one followed by the 5th symphony. 8 is really great as well. My least favourite is probably the 6th symphony because it's too repetitive.

[@johnfalstaff2270]

Matter of personal taste. Generally, you cannot love everything. I love Beethoven, but still I need to admit that symphonies #1, #4 and #8 are not in my favor. Even if such a giants as Toscanini, Shell, Walter or Furtwangler are conducting. The same with Peter Tchaikovsky. I am not a fan of his first three symphonies, but all #4, #5, #6 to unnumbered Manfred are fantastic, with Manfred (under Toscanini) above the all.

[@honda412000]

Great performance this time, great sound, great tempo. This is my favourite of Beethoven's symphonies (perhaps side by side with the 3rd) and is beautifully played by these geniuses.

[@magischekulturvermittlung]

Wie auf einmal jeder Ton, jede kleine Passage einen einleuchtenden, zwingenden Sinn im Ganzen bekommt! Die Gesamstruktur der Sinfonie wird hier so durchsichtig bei dieser meisterhaften Aufführung.Nichts wird einfach schön und glatt gespielt, da hört jeder auf den anderen und die Dynamik, das Auf-und Abschwellen der Tonbewegung, wird fein gestuft verfolgt, in feinsten Nuancen auf und abgebaut.Jeder der Beteiligten ein Künstler, alle sind verbunden zu einem großen gemeinsamen Musizieren! Mir scheint Maestro Orozco - Estrada nicht nur vom musikalischen Genie, sondern auch von großer Wertschätzung gegenüber seinen Musiker-Kollegen/innen durchdrungen.

[@gabrielnavarrodelage]

Excelente versión de esta magnífica sinfonía. En particular me han encantado: los tiempos, la forma en que he podido oír, en todo momento, todos y cada uno de los instrumentos de la orquesta y todo ello dentro de una musicalidad "quasi" perfecta, por no decir perfecta, de lo que debe ser una interpretación puramente beethoveniana (según mi opinión de aficionado a la música). La orquesta siempre a su altura, que es muy alta. Y qué decir del joven y extraordinario Maestro Orozco-Estrada, a quien admiro enormemente. ¡BRAVO!
