Beethoven: 6. Sinfonie (»Pastorale«) ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Ariane Matiakh

i listen to beethovens 6 sinfonie since 30 years, EVERY DAY, and until today, it does not get boring…great performance

[@rishabhdeogopichand7946]

As you do with the "Pastoral" Symphony, so did I with Mozart's Don Giovanni, every night for years, from the Overture to the final Quintet. When I listen to the "Pastoral" Symphony, I always find myself in it; my whole life opens before me (1st Movement: Beethoven's joy at going for an afternoon picnic in the Wienerwald; youth setting out into life with idealism, boldness, and courage, not yet tempered or overwhelmed by sorrow, betrayals, failures, & suffering. 2nd Movement: Beethoven's lying beside a stream contemplating others (the peasants) also coming out for their day in the park; the loving gaze at others in their life journey as well. 3th and 4th Movements: the storm representing the oftentimes seemingly insurmountable struggles, sorrows, defeats, & wounds that make life almost unbearable. 5th Movement (the storm passes, the sun comes out again, the dark clouds dissipate. But here Beethoven leaves behind the moment of a particular storm's passing, and universalizes the storms of life being left behind, and the universal harmony and joy that awaits each and every one of us at the end of our earthly days. Hints, in Beethoven's moments of joy, of the universal bliss that he finally found, and expresses, in his final five String Quartets.

i feel that beethoven mustered all the peace and beauty he had in his heart and poured into this symphony, despite his tumultuous life

[@rishabhdeogopichand7946]

The rebellious tone of the "Eroica" symphony (such courage & determination after the despair of "die Heiligenstadt Testament"), the haunting mystery of the 4th, the power and the epic struggle of the 5th, the sheer brilliance, warmth, joy and peace of the 6th, "Pastoral" (The final movement is for me the universal joy, peace, & harmony that Beethoven SENSES will be, after we have left the storms of life behind (the third and fourth movements), a share in the New Heavens and the New Earth promised in the Book of Revelation, the 7th's giddy and almost Bacchic frenzy and joy, were not all preparations for the 9th "Choral" Symphony. As much as I love all of Beethoven's symphonies, I see them and his piano sonatas as a prelude to his final five String Quartets, the greatest masterpieces ever composed. After near despair and suicide, after moments of joy, after much sorrow, and after his challenge to the existing "order" of his time, in the final String Quartets he arrives at the ultimate peace of mystical union with the divine, the highest form of prayer (mystical union and communion), the moment of surrender (Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra). There are those who say that Beethoven was an atheist. He did not find his inner harmony through the conventual religions of his time, but through his personal "Agony in the Garden" and Crucifixion, he arrived at the highest level of human fulfillment, in the mystical surrender to God.

Ravishing performance. A story from my cab driving days... Driving a chill fall evening I had the first movement of the Pastoral done by Claudio Abbado with the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the best, playing on the car CD. I was dispatched to a nondescript house in an ethnic working class neighborhood. Four loud-mouthed, hardcore, inner-city Italian girls, late teens or early twenties poured out and climbed into the car. They asked me to take them to a house about a kilometre away to pick up something then bring them back (don't want to conjecture what). Asked me to turn the radio to a hip hop station and crank it up, which I did. Their talk was loud and raw. Remember a line: "That Guido's such a little pimp!" We arrived at the house. They all got out and lolled about as one girl went inside. The hip hop was getting on my nerves so I turned it off and put on the Beethoven. After a couple minutes, transaction done, the girls ambled slowly back to the cab. I was about to turn off the Beethoven when something inside me rebelled. I thought "screw it." I pulled back my hand. The girls climbed in and I drove off. They listened in complete silence without a murmur of protest or derision as the lyrical majesty of the first movement swept over them. A block from their destination, the girl seated beside me said quietly, reverently, "We shoulda been listenin' to this from the start."

[@Terieni-q7c]

Thank you for your story.

[@dmeachy]

Hip Hop, Rap, and perhaps some others, are all counterfeit impressions of real music. Growing up as a rock musician along with other rock musicians, we were constantly enthralled by the rich beauty of all the classics. We couldn't believe what we were listening to and would make comments like, "did you hear that? Wow!" In fact, I would declare that all music has its basis in classical musical theory.

Beethoven 6. Sinfonie (Pastorale) - hr - Sinfonieorchester - Ariane Matiakh I’ve enjoyed this delightful Symphony since I was a young girl. I had the pleasure on 6 October this year, of going to my first concert since COVID-19, which was presented by The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra @ The Symphony Hall in the City of Birmingham, England) 🇬🇧 to watch and listen to this magnificent music. It’s definitely one of many of my favourite Symphonies. It was absolutely wonderful that we can, once again, listen to beautiful music again in front of a wonderful orchestra. I’m hoping to go again later this year. There is nothing that gives me more pleasure than attending a concert at a venue with the orchestra, complete with the conductor, audience too. I have thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful rendition with a big smile 😃 on my face. Thank You 🙏 for the wonderful orchestra. !!!! Absolute perfection.

[@theohedron9599]

This is an astonishingly good performance of what is perhaps Beethoven's most underrated symphony, possibly because of its programmatic nature and its pastoral overtones. I am largely ignorant of music theory, but if one judges by general criteria, such as unity of composition and continuity, there is no reason to value this symphony any less than the fifth symphony, despite that symphony's glorious synthesis of tumult and triumph, or the ninth with all the power of its inspiration. There is something godlike in the perfection that all trained musicians strive for, but I am paticularly impressed by this conductor and her orchestra. To experience performances of this sort must perhaps be reckoned as evidence of providence. My deepest gratitude and respect to all the musicians.

[@megeldridge1745]

It’s not his most underrated symphony. Where do you get that?

[@rishabhdeogopichand7946]

Traditionally music critics have followed a specific formula: Beethoven's odd-numbered symphonies are powerful, while his even-numbered symphonies are relaxed, hence not so great as the odd-numbered. What a tragedy! This formula relegates the 4th, 6th, and 8th to second tier, and elevates the 1st, 3rd,5th, 7th, and 9th to first tier. Is the 1st, as charming and innovative as it is, to be regarded as superior to the 4th, 6th, and 8th? Come on! And what about the 2nd, which resembles Beethoven's early ballet, the Creatures of Prometheus?

[@jeffreybooth5734]

Whether Iappy, sad or anywhere in between, this wonderful symphony works for me. Leonard Bernstein once said Betthoven was not "a great melodist". What utter rot. This symphony is filled with beautiful tunes.

[@RichardFeinman-yf7lx]

I think it was Stravinsky who said that. As I heard it he said “Beethoven showed us how far you could get without a sense of melody. Bellini showed us that no matter how easy it came to you, it wasn’t enough.” I think Stravinsky was a very crabby guy. This symphony shows us how a short melodic line fragment can be repeated many times and we love it.

[@thejils1669]

Actually, I gained some insight as to how Beethoven created some of his most beloved melodies...and as you already know there really are quite a few...through an analysis of this given by Mr. Bernstein. Beethoven used chordal structures to accomplish this since this makes most sense. Third intervals found within chords are intrinsically very pleasurable for the human ear and mind to listen to. That's how he did it. If you examine any of Beethoven's thematic material you will immediately see the connection and construct here. Check it out.

[@miguelpereira9859]

I think Bernstein's argument (if we are both thinking of the same interview here) was that Beethoven wasn't as interested in writting "great melodies" in the sense we traditionally think of them, with a clear 4 part structure and all that, but instead of coming up with comparatively short motifs that he can transform in all sorts of ways. To say Beethoven wasn't a great melodist is preposterous, it's greaking Beethoven, he wrote some of the most memorable jingles in history.

[@rishabhdeogopichand7946]

I think that Bernstein was being facetious. He knew that Beethoven was the greatest melodist in the history of Western classical music. His melodies are almost endless, with not a note out of place not a single note that wasn't necessary for the perfection of the work.

[@rishabhdeogopichand7946]

Stravinsky's favorite composer was Mozart. The competition between Mozart and Beethoven was a later fabrication. Beethoven was for a short time a student of Haydn, but it seems that he never met Mozart. He had wanted to study with Mozart, but, when he got to Vienna, he learned of his mother's final illness, followed by her death, and he had to return to Bonn. By the time he was able to return to Vienna, Mozart had died. Beethoven felt Mozart's spirit within himself, and wanted to continue Mozart's work from where Mozart had left off. Throughout his life he performed works of Mozart in concerts featuring his own works, and borrowed melodies from Mozart for some of his greatest works. The melody in his 3rd piano concerto was borrowed from Mozart's Bastien und Bastienne. I cannot fathom why Stravinsky would hate Beethoven. Genius that he was, Stravinsky should never have been jealous of another, though long-deceased, genius.

[@JavierVillamorLugo]

El inicio es un rodeo orquestal del piano al forte. Después se establece la calma con diversos motivos que proceden del tema primigen. Predominan los motivos de 3 ó 5 notas dentro de una armonía cristalina como un manantia dd aguas Purísima. Las familias orquestales se entremezclan con sinĝulaŕv ĥabilídad, El segundo movimiento (escena ĵunto al arroyo) es un alarde de ñotas contiguas y trinos; el segundo tema deriva a la dominante, con la madera y trinos de la cuerda. La armonía clara y la mezcla de sectores orquestales agudizan está armonía. Al final un toque de genialidad: el canto de tres pájaros imitador por solistas de la madera. El tercer movimiento recrea una fiesta pastoril en 3 por 4. De pronto la armonía modula a fa menor, es la tormenta que viene con toda su violencia: trémolos junto a acordes secos de la cuerda nos Dan esa sensación. Al final la tormenta se disipa, y se anuncia la melodía principal mediante un solo de trompa subrrallado por un acorde por quintas. Se trata de una de las melodías más hermosas que jamás pudo escŕibíř un ser humano; es la devoción con que los pastores dan gracias a Dios por la lluvia caída. Un segundo tema en pizzcato alterna preguntas y respuestas de cuatro notas so re un fondo de semicorcheas de los violines. Todo discurre en un ambiente de júbilo y gozo hasta el final.

This is one of the best performances of Beethoven's 6th Symphony that I've experienced. I think that the primary reasons is the due to the conducting style of der Kapel Meister: It is one of pure emotion, which eminates from her hands, baton, and facecial movements, and is made evident in the sounds from the woodwinds, and especially the strings, horns.

I’ve been playing Beethoven’s klavir for over 50 years. I cannot get tired of his music, though I have traveled my life with all modern music as jazz, rock, rap, synth, etc. Listening to the 6th, one can surely proclaim that even Impressionism in music starts with Beethoven’s works. Jazz? Listen to his last klavir Sonata’s second part. Syncopation? It is all of his music. To mention a few things, he developed in World’s music. When I die, I will surely miss only one thing - Beethoven’s music.

It is of a delicate beauty that always takes my heart to a distant land, peaceful, fragrant and dreamy.... And I was thrilled again with this performance, both by the excellence of the conduction and the "close up" on the naipes, in each solo...wonderful!!! 🎶🎶🎶 Bravo! Ariane Matiakh👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! Frankfurt Radio Symphony👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you hr-Sinfonieorchester👍👍👍

Great performance. The conductor has such expressive power. Conducts with her face as well as hands. Marvellous!!!!

[@estoote]

This is so, so, so, so good! So good! SO GOOD! Everything about it is so exactly as it should be. All the magic is there. Wow. Holy wow.

[@expertmax32]

That is such a good recording of Beethoven's pastorale. Nicely done, marvelous!

[@萩原耕介-g3s]

Very beginning the first motive is so beautiful , juicy articulation and natural tempo. They say that Beethoven said " Tempo is Music"(Music is Tempo) The first motive is veryveryvery nice throughout first movement, especially the last bar is so so sooooo beautiful.

Diese Lautmalerei der Pastorelen ist so bildhaft, so unendlich schön! Besonders nach dem heftigen Gewitter, wenn dann die Sonne wieder aufgeht, klingt es so tröstlich, damals, wie heute und sagt uns:es wird alles wieder gut!

[@ScottWhetstone-s5v]

Defies words! It’s the most beautiful piece of music ever written

[@acastle5852]

This interpretation of this timeless work is outstanding, Thank you to Ariane Matiakh and the musicians!!! Not rushed but full of energy and spirit, this orchestra is fantastic and it really made them shine. The 2nd movement I found particularly inspiring in a way I have not heard before. Thank you also to the production crew for the clarity of picture and sound.

Fantástica, mágica, maravilhosa,.... Agradecimentos à condutora, á orquesta, a todos os colaboradores. E a todos que comentaram e agradeceram e deram seus likes.

Ariane Matiakh -- tremendous Pastorale. Already one of my favorites, and I'm just into the first movement. Clear lines, beautiful phrasing and articulation. Sounds like a chamber-sized ensemble.

[@ryohagitani2601]

The listener gave applause just after the end of the first movement. I was surprised at that because I had the same feeling as them.

[@angelosilva4051]

Veramente eccezzionale bravissimi direttore e orchestra una esecuzione della Pastorale che sarebbe piaciuta anche all'autore.Entusiasmante.

[@carlosdescartincristellys8273]

Qué maravillosa sinfonía es la Pastoral.Beethoven dijo de ella,que “es más la expresión de la sensibilidad que una pintura”.Beethoven,amaba la naturaleza,y bien que lo demuestra en esta sinfonía que a mí me produce una gran paz y alegría.La orquesta sinfónica de radio Frankfurt,está fenomenal y su directora Ariano Matiakh,la dirige con gran sensibilidad.

[@supawels3627]

Sehr feinsinnig dirigiert und von den Musikern auch aufgenommen. Sie hat offenbar die volle Sympathie dieses doch recht maskulin durchsetzten Klangkörpers. Die haben beim Proben sicher gemerkt: Ariane Matiakh kann was ! (Ein roßartiges Gegenmodell zum russischen Unpräsidenten.)

the hr orchestra is a real top notch orchestra, I have to congratulate. Also kudos to the conductor.

[@carloslaguensbermejo9812]

Extraordinaria interpretación por esta célebre orquesta alemana de la Sexta Sinfonía apodada "Pastoral" del genial compositor Ludwig van Beethoven que como es bien conocido tiene inusualmente CINCO movimientos. Mención especial para la prestigiosa directora francesa Ariane Matiakh que nos ofrece una vez más una lección de como se conduce una orquesta. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.

[@Metasisic]

Excellent performance of a composition which will never be considered overappreciated in the classical repertoire.

[@kevmorris3000]

It's my first time hearing the whole symphony. Just heard bits and pieces before in movies or TV shows. Gorgeous music!

[@nicholaspunch1]

I loved this performance! I felt the conductor presented the best of performances, feminine in the best sense, encouraging and never demanding, she really got a response! I began thinking how powerful the woodwinds were, but then thought the strings deserved notice as did the brass. Of course Beethoven masterminded everything, the thunderstorm as powerful but the tiny birds too brought out the woodland setting. Thank you everyone!!!

Esta GENIAL sinfonia No. 6 o "PASTORAL" de Beethoven, es la mas breve de todas. Posee una increible DIVERSIDAD melodica deliciosa que encanta el alma humana al escucharla en su integridad (y verla) en la interpretacion y direccion de los EXTRAORDINARIOS protagonistas de cualquier respetable Sinfonica...Estos legados divinos de los GENIOS del Arte Musical, enaltecen al genero humano en nuestro basto universo, haciendo de nosotros como los LEGITIMOS lideres del Universo.

The best Pastorale I ever lisitened. Thank you.

[@pilouetmissiou]

Ho adorato lo strepitoso terzo movimento pieno di vitalità e di sfumature ! Bellissimo suono dell'orchestra, precisissima e piena di vita la direzione di questa Direttore d'orchestra che non conoscevo ...io mi annoio facilmente con Beethoven è più forte di me ma il movimento Nach dem Sturm mi ha letteralmente catturata.....molto bello davvero

[@mariapaoladegregorio5108]

Provi ad entrare nella magia della Missa Solemnis, la versione con il testo in latino, inglese e spagnolo in sovraimpressione e si lasci trasportare dall'emozione. Molti anni fa Beethoven mi faceva lo stesso effetto😏, poi più l'ho conosciuto più l'ho compreso. La versione di cui le parlavo è di Gardiner e l'orchestra è L'Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique, il coro é il Monteverdi Choir. Provi😊...

[@EvandroSchulz]

Great record. One of the best. I love to hear this symphony when I have difficulty or environment noise to sleep. It's a perfect medicine to rest the soul.

[@marcosPRATA918]

Essa interpretação revela a "Pastoral" como um canto à natureza! Quanta sensibilidade e clareza ao realçar as sutilezas do jogo instrumental e textural Beethoviniano.

What a delightfully light and spritely performance! For me Mme Matiakh really brings out the delight the composer must have felt at venturing into the countryside. Well done to her and to the orchestra!

How do you play the chirping of birds, sound of thunder or refreshing sunshine/rains with musical instruments? This majestic piece did all of that and more, just incredible. The energy of the entire choir so infectious.

Pani dyrygent jest świetna, nie widziałem jej wcześniej. Jest w maksymalnym punkcie możliwości umysłowych i fizycznych. Teraz mnie pobijecie, jest w niej za dużo instynktu macierzyńskiego, to wszystko powinno iść inaczej. Chodź duży plus dla Pani dyrygent.
