Beethoven: 8. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@Schleiermacher1000]

This conductor exudes enormous competence and an equally great friendliness. Both make Beethoven's music sparkle.

[@annjourney14]

#8 makes me happy. I can't help but smile from the opening bars to the last. This particular conductor / orchestra combo captures its positive energy perfectly!

[@katrinat.3032]

Hi I love the 8th also. Have recently been listening to this conductor and orchestra, I really like them. I find Beethoven’s 4th symphony to be incredibly happy and joyous. May I suggest the performance with Leonard Bernstein on KZbin or the performance with Claudio Abbado also on KZbin. The 4th starts out dark but Beethoven tricks you and takes you on a great ride. Enjoy!

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

That reaction is precisely what Beethoven wants you to do and was doing so himself when he wrote his "little symphony in F". The "bigger" one being No 6 !!! He actually goes backwards from the 7th and almost makes fun of Haydn & Mozart. It's a very underestimated piece.

[@albertopalma1663]

@@katrinat.3032 Same here. Only a genius could've compose a master piece like this. Synonym of genius = Beethoven.

Orozco-Estrada has fast become one of my favorite conductors. He brings such freshness to time honored works. I feel as though I have hearing them for the first time.

[@organman52]

oh please. That is like saying that the symphony itself is not fresh. Ridiculous.

I normally don't comment on KZbin videos, but this is far and away the best Beethoven 8 I've ever heard. Love this interpretation.

[@yalz302]

It is easy to understand how his contemporaries and later composers would feel daunted to enter into this particular arena. His mastery of the form is so evident. These symphonies put on offer by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony are such fine performances. I'm a huge fan of this orchestra and this conductor. Thank you so much for offering these wonderful videos.

[@alvarogarciabarbosa3199]

Perfect, absolutely perfect the "tempo". As that in the Eroica! Congratulations to the excellent Orchestra and Maestro Orozco!

[@ericanderson3534]

Stopped notes are perfect. I'm sure many don't even notice them.

[@stephenmessick865]

Andres and my favorite orchestra pull off another coup. The last movement was just thrilling. I can't get enough of it. I listen to it almost every morning to set my mood for the coming day.

[@sonjalewis3047]

That's how I'm feeling, too! Couldn't face overdue cleaning up kitchen without Beethoven's 7th, or his 8th. Wonderful to discover Andrés Orozco-Estrada's orchestra!

[@kopek702]

Andres and I went to the same preschool, he and his goons used to bully the disabled girl in class.

[@lesfoster8172]

This is what I love about this profomence the first movement played quick it sounds great and very powerful this orchestra deserves a medel.

[@StanObirek]

I love the fast tempo of the first movement. I guess the older I get the less time I have to listen to it and I need to play faster music I like.

[@mattkanter1729]

Hmmm , I thought that the older you get the more time you might have to listen . Anyways , looking forward to seeing and hearing this tomorrow night January 13 , Chicago Symphony

[@sonjalewis3047]

For me, there's a "sweet spot" that is definitely not too fast (if too hurried, it's impossible for the musicians to produce all the nuances) Pre-- 1980s: too ponderous. 1990s: too technically "advanced"= too fast; brittle. But this century, some PERFECT RENDITIONS.

[@Musicrafter12]

Even *this* 4th movement is technically slow relative to Beethoven's metronome marking -- whole note = 84! This performance clocks in closer to 75, even 70 at times. Still, no one else seems to have the courage to even approach Orozco-Estrada's already slightly slow tempo and it's a huge disappointment. At this speed the movement just flies past with unmatched vigor and light-footedness. I can't listen to most other interpretations at all as they just slog all over the place. This orchestra also does an amazing job staying incredibly crisp and tight even at such a tempo. These are some absolutely world class players. And it seems like no matter which Beethoven symphony he touches, Orozco-Estrada always does a fantastic job bringing out its lighter side, producing some amazingly dance-like interpretations. The entire rest of the symphony is also just so wonderfully and tastefully done. What a wonderful achievement.

[@davidcarter3049]

I think John Eliot Gardener’s recording of this might be a little faster

[@dorette-hi4j]

@@davidcarter3049 Paavo Järvi with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen reaches 84, it sounds fantastic. Järvi also has a performance of it with the Frankfurters, just a little bit faster than Orozco Estrada. Harnoncourt with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe is about the same tempo as Orozco Estrada (Harnoncourt is one of AOE's heros).
