Beethoven: 8. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Paavo Järvi

[@user-wu1my4nk6g]

快適なテンポ。透明な音、気分のよくなる熱演に大満足！ウキウキうれしくなる８番を聞けて幸せ。ヤルヴィの解釈に新鮮さと深みがある。オケも優秀で見事。

[@BobbySpringer1]

I love the 8th symphony - so tight and compact. Someone once summed it up by saying how the 9th symphony takes until the 4th movement to explode into joy whereas the 8th does it from the opening measure.

[@Chris-cb4ig]

Comme un retour de jeunesse ... Mais avec un Beethoven murit et TOTALEMENT génial dans ce qu il compose .

[@pukupuku7065]

I hope that listening to Beethoven will make the world peaceful.🙂

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

It DOES mate ! Dont forget his 9th: "All men will be brothers! "

[@Chris-cb4ig]

I hope too. Et pourtant Beethoven pouvait être bagarreur ( pour la bonne cause )

[@Opoczynski]

Notice at 20:38 the extra long, unexpected pauses. They make you hold your breath. Brilliant decision. After the 3rd and 7th, this my favourite symphony. When asked by his pupil Carl Czerny why the Eighth was less popular than the Seventh, Beethoven is said to have replied, "because the Eighth is so much better."

[@ultimateconstruction]

Wow interesting, source?

[@JohnWhipp]

@@ultimateconstruction Yes but to be fair, whether or not Beethoven ever actually said those words, it is a famous enough quote. Wikipedia cites "The Symphony: a listeners guide". pp. 44-47. Oxford University Press, 1995 (Michael Steinberg) as a source for this, but in any event, a quick google search returns ample evidence from credible sources that Beethoven is reputed to have said this.

[@jgesselberty]

The 9th may end with the Ode to Joy. But the 8th is pure Joy from beginning to end.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

It definately is Beethoven's cheekiest symphony. It's like he is poking fun at Haydn's model of the symphony.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

@@Quotenwagnerianer And Haydn not only gets the joke but is laughing along with Luigi.

[@harryhagan5937]

Isn't it amazing that there are probably less than 50 symphonies in all the world that anyone cares much about! Each of these gems is like a fabulous piece of architecture; a building that we all love and revere. A building that never needs remodeling, and is perfect in every way, always and forever. It never ages, regardless of any new fashion. It lives and breathes and inspires throughout the ages. When this was composed there were no cars, trains, electric lights or telephones. No screens. Beethoven lives forever!

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

👏 🙏 🤝 👍Bravissimo ! Such a wonderful statement . . .

[@TOTAL457]

Brilliant execution. Beethoven makes you give 200% of what is expected of you. I see the musicians fight with their instruments as if in a battle. The energy needed to perform the last movement is extraordinary. A dedicated musician would rather die than not give his/her full body and soul full, unwavering commitment so that what Beethoven wrote comes to life and the symphony will ultimately reach the goal of its existence. Thank you, Beethoven. In his sufferings, he gave us the sublime.

Wow! This is the best interpretation and performance of this symphony that I've ever heard. Järvi really understands Beethoven's most misunderstood and underappreciated symphony. And he gets the privilege of conducting the very fine Frankfurt Radio Symphony! We listeners are the fortunate beneficiaries of this recording. Thank you!

[@MrBPOfan]

P. Järvi has greatly influenced and shaped the HR SO as we know it today. He seems to be very beloved by both orchestra and audience. All sections, simply impeccable playing. At 14:20, the solo cello played in such masterly fashion, with perfect integration with the winds. Dynamics, rubattos... all there, perfect example of chamber music played within the orchestra. Listen again carefully if you will. Thank you HR SO for sharing such joyful videos.

[@adamcathcart]

[@alexanderhoffmann346]

Paavo Järvi ist ein genialer Beethoveninterpret. Im Unterschied zur 7. und 9. Sinfonie tobt in der 8. Sinfonie kein Krieg, kein erbitterter und leidvoller Kampf der Menschen. Es geht vielleicht hier mehr um uns selbst, als Einzelner. Wie frei und souverän sind wir? Ludwig zeigt es uns: er ist außerordentlich frei und macht, was er will, voller Energie und Originalität. Auch voller Ironie und Humor über sich selbst uns seinen Beruf als Komponist. Sehr oft läßt er die Musik in eine Sackgasse oder gegen eine Wand laufen. Er macht sich über die Formen und Stile lustig. Die Leichtigkeit der Musik ist so schwer zu spielen, dass die meisten Orchester verkrampfen oder die Musik zu seicht und flach interpretieren. Paavo dirigiert mit großer Leichtigkeit, Elastizität, Ausdruckskraft und Eleganz. Das Orchester kommt hörbar nicht an seine Grenzen. Im Finale des 4. Satzes kündigt sich kurz die 9. Sinfonie an, so als ob der Humor zu Ende wäre. Diese Sinfonie ist ein sehr guter Test, um die Klasse eines Orchesters zu prüfen. Paavo ist richtiger Vollblutmusikus, bei ihm ist die Musik völlig frei und nach allen Seiten ungezwungen offen.

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

So wunderbar gesagt, lieber Alexander . . . mit so viel Liebe und Sachverstand !! Ja, nur ein GENIE kann ein anderes Genie erkennen . . . womöglich bist du ja auch eines (Musiker, Maler, Philosoph?)

[@janmikolas8868]

I love this so much! Maestro Jaervi knows how to do a Beethoven..This symphony is full of really magic and very funny moments, but I think in time 22:17, that is something brilliant and exceptional!!! This transition from F sharp minor to F major, without any transposition!!! That is something amazing, never happened in music before Beethoven..I love this. (listen to this passage from approx. 22:00 and enjoy the moment later..).

[@kevinvincenthalpin6089]

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieser pseudoklassischen doch perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der zweite Satz klingt echt rhythmisch und auch erfreulich. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt elegant und auch bezaubernd. Endlich kommt das begeisternde und übezeugende Finale. Der intelligente und geniale Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

The fifth symphony played by the Ekseption was recoded in 1969 and the youngs of this year didn't wait "The Saturday Night Fever" for dancing rock and jerk on this Ekseptional cover! Beethoven couldn't say "no" to the using of his music for advertising and more with the misleading reason of making it famous among a larger number of people! The Doors were even more lucky because Jim Morrison asked for his music never be used in ads and his wishes has been respected

Jarvi in attack mode!, almost swallowing the first measure in his haste to win the race with Toscanini and Mengelberg, while along the way missing some of their warmth and character, not to mention their humor. He may have followed Beethoven's metronome markings, but certainly not my internal ones. I couldn't relax.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Your iternal markings are seriously off then. I heard Klemperer conduct it slow and at this speed and guess which is the better performance. The 8th loses all it's humour when the tempi are dragging. And I still can't for the life of me understand why 35 years after Norrington and Gardiner and others recorded, people still think this is being rushed. THIS is is how it is supposed to sound. Everything else is just too slow. Karajan, a drag. Solti, sleep inducing. Previn, boring.

[@CFDavid847]

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times… people who complain when classical music is played “too fast” are dinosaurs who need to die out. They stand in the way of progress.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

@@CFDavid847 I have no way of even beginning to understand what you're trying to say even if you repeat it a million times. What I think you ARE saying is that in different eras or times, interpretative styles change with prevailing preferences, often without regard to, and/or knowledge of, performance practices in use at the time the music in question was written. While that, admittedly, may not rightly be called "progress", it does reflect the resultant capacity to realize that great music can withstand - triumph over - any change in manner of interpretation that the years may impose upon it. In other words, I agree with you that such a stance is not progress, and if you read my original remarks, you'll also realize that I wasn't complaining about Jarvi's tempo choices, but only of his (relative) failure to imbue them with the amount of warmth, character, and humor, that Toscanini and Melgelberg did. I'm not a score reader, so I readily admit that all three conductors could be well within any indicated tempo markings. "...haste to win the race", was merely a rhetorical phrase used to indicate that tempo, after all, is not the real issue.
