Beethoven: Overtures

[@srothbardt]

HAPPY BEETHOVEN'S 250th birthday----Dec. 15, 2020.

[@granttherock9121]

It is generally agreed that his birthday was December 16 1770, not the 15th.

[@jonathan19947]

The greatness of Ludwig van Beethoven will never never never never never never never never never never never never never be forgotten

[@michaelkopala3738]

Never? Well hardly ever.

[@ninapri5456]

I have loved Beethoven since 18 (many years ago) . It is my birthday today and this is a treat. Also wonderful to have my birthday so close to this genuis. Great celebrations of the 250th anniversary of his birth. His music will last for eternity♥️

[@lesliesepssy9222]

Nina, I was ten when I Herd the Eroica symphony, which captured my mind and spirit, I am 82-years young, most of the old masters have written Heavenly Music, in fact, if it was not for those masters', the industrial revolution would never had taken place, it was those masters Music that trained the mind of the masses to concentrate their mind on one thing hours on end, today all you hear is discordant satanic noise, which can not compare in the least degree with the old masters', which are timeless!

[@sumeetsharma7256]

Nina sePosey...what a beautiful thought

[@sumeetsharma7256]

Satanic discordant voices so true.....neither can they hold their emotions and their fragile egos.....fractals unconcentrative fools

[@zaramayne2444]

Beethoven a man so Dedicated and So Determined who Rose above his Afflictions to create the most Divine music of all times !!! Beethoven thank you from my heart .....❤️ Beethoven we love and appreciate your great sacrifice to leave us such a Divine Heritage of Transcendental Compositions ever written ❤️💜💚

[@mirrors1]

I think the same.

[@markscheuer8648]

Agree, for the most part. However, Holst Jupiter is #1 for me.

[@hasch5756]

During this difficult time, my thoughts are with the bassoon player in The Consecration Of The House. May his mouth, fingers, and joints heal in the foreseeable future

For the first painting shown in this video: "The Death of Sardanapalus" ("La Mort de Sardanapale") is an oil painting on canvas by Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), dated 1827. It currently hangs in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.

[@richardweil8813]

Thanks for the information, he was supposedly (though that's not right) the last king of the brutal Assyrian Empire, which fell around 612 BCE. The real history appears to be quite different than the garbled version that led to this painting. Here's the current understanding, from a non-scholarly source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardanapalus

[@jduff59]

That second painting has to be Flemish? There's an awful lot going on there as well.

[@ajmittendorf]

@@jduff59 I have been wrong before, but I did a Google search. If I'm wrong, then Google is wrong, and that, too, is entirely possible. If I am incorrect, I do not mind being told.

[@maxmustermann4246]

Are the paintings related to the music? Shows the third one the Fall of Athen?

[@ffraysse3065]

@@jduff59 the second painting is by Jacob Jordaens: "Le Roi boit", meaning the king drinks, it's in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Bruxelles. And the last one is "The Battle of Salamis" by Wilhelm von Kaulbach.

[@pierreattaman7826]

La toile qui illustre les Ouvertures du génie de Bonn est une œuvre d'Eugène Delacroix, La Mort de Sardanapale, présentée au Salon de Paris de 1827. Cette peinture n'a rien à voir avec les Ottomans. Sardanapale était un roi légendaire d'Assyrie, du VIIe siècle avant l'ère vulgaire, célèbre pour son sacrifice, dans lequel il entraîna sa favorite Myrrha. Quant aux Ouvertures à proprement parler, pour le dire avec des mots de Georges Brassens, à peine dévoyés de leur cours, de Beethoven, "chez lui, tout est bon, il n'y a rien à jeter".

Muchas gracias por tan bello vídeo lleno de vida y talento de Beethoven.

[@denniszerance4214]

I am not a classical music expert but, I believe some of Beethoven’s overtures are the best music he has written. I’m i crazy or what?

[@cSsm65]

No, you're right on, agreed!

[@mr-wx3lv]

Beethoven wrote phenomenal music in all forms.

[@annedwyer797]

I agree! His overtures are like symphonies in condensed form, though I love his symphonies too.

[@zaramayne2444]

Beethoven an Amazing Man & Composer . .So afflicted was he by many ailments not just his deafness yet his great Fortitude and Dynamic Determination and Dedication overcome the mortal flesh to create such awesome divine transcendental compositions !! Thank you Beethoven for leaving us such a heritage of inspiration .. Beethoven we love you 💖♥️💜

[@lesliesepssy9222]

If you think you might be crazy, listen to music of today's, if we could call them music, you soon find out if you are crazy or not, give me the old masters of music any time, I am happy to be crazy by those masters of real music, not some satanic rituals! One uplift your Spirit, whereas today's corrupt your mind and cause discord in your Spirit, which one you sooner have?

[@imadkhadra1171]

Nice music, thanks!

Dear friends music lovers: does anyone know who is REALLY conducting Leonore no.3? It is an incredible performance by both orchestra and conductor (as well as by sound recording). Certainly it's not Alberto Lizzio since that name is a nickname!!

[@peev2]

Leonard Bernstein

[@АндрейМорозов-с8я]

Подскажите, пожалуйста, названия картин

[@thomascampbell4730]

I have always felt that Beethoven must be performed with gusto and passion and these performances fall short of that. My guess is that conductor and orchestra is English.

I guess the pictorial art and artists aren't as important as the musical artist. No credit is given. A bit rude if not unethical. I'll have to give a thumbs down for that.

[@michaeldavidcohen]

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Great classical music constantly interrupted by ads. Not just at the beginning. Not just at the end. But all the way through it. But it doesn't matter to KZbin. They place their ads in the middle because they don't care about classical music and they don't care about their customers who like classical music.

[@michaeltheophilus5260]

Yeah. Adds at the beginning aee one tging but in the middke is un unforgivable

[@bruce122046]

The ads are either plunked down by a stupid human or by a bot that doesn't know when one track stops and the next one begins. Either way this is due to dirty Capitalism and the Comcastization of You Tube, which if you are unlucky enough to have Comcast as your cable provider has more than one third of the air time in an hour taken up by blocks of up to 8 or more ads at a time. I am looking to cut the cable and especially if the internet provider cannot charge for streaming by the gigabyte. Changing the administration in Washington may help this cause as the FCC chair would not be a media insider appointed by a corrupt President of the U.S.

Hmm, this "Leonore" seems lacking in "umph", especially if this really was a live recording of Bernstein conducting the Vienna Phil, as the info states (seems like a studio recording!) Compare it to this YTube vid of Bernstein and the Bavarian Broadcast Symphony Orchestra's "Leonore": kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPLqKywf6Z1rKs. Maybe it's because the latter is a live recording, and we can see how completely into it Lennie was?

I don't recognize the painting. But that king (Cyrus? Xerxes?, not Alexander dying anyway) has a very crowded bedroom. Ladies lying around like throw pillows and even a stallion - to drag away the bed? I don't think Beethoven would approve.. I can't believe it but at mid comment the picture changed. The Man's eating and there's a woman cleaning a babies bottom at table. I still don't think Ludvig Van would approve. Try again!

[@peterhumphreys9201]

I hope that nobody minds my pointing out that "Alberto Lizzio" isn't a real person. The conductor Alfred Scholz invented the name to disguise recordings by Hans Swarowsky, Milan Horvat, Carl Melles or Scholz himself. Scholz himself is dead now, so there's nobody to complain to :)
