Beethoven : Die Weihe des Hauses, selections from the incidental music H. 118 (1822)

[@maxmerry8470]

Inspired performance throughout and a stunning example of DG's wonderful sound engineering. I think I'd forgotten what a breathtaking and life-affirming Overture Beethoven composed for The Consecration Of The House. Superb, all of this upload.

Life affirming indeed. I want it played as the recessional at my funeral.

Extraordinary curation....BRAVO, Prof. Rodders!

I have to admit that the Consecration of the House overture is my favourite work by Beethoven. Bar none.

[@gerdprengel7616]

In this overture Beethoven gave honour to Handel, but around the same time he was also working on an overture on the notes B-A-C-H, celebrating that admired composer also! On the basis of these sketches I wrote an overture trying to catch the spirit of these sketches: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJupYnaEqL2dbcUsi=3AfsoyGgGudqTFQu , which may be interesting to you also ... those sketches I marked with yellow colour...

I hear shades of the fourth movement of the fifth towards the end. Beautiful work

Das Stück ist eine sogenannte "Bühnenmusik".
