Beethoven's Symphony No.7 | Chineke! Orchestra

[@gospel6057]

I'm a great fan of Chineke and the Black British Classical Foundation two greats that ought to be supported.

[@michelrobert8833]

Ce chef est tout en nuances. Très belle performance! Merci

[@anjiviolin]

Second movement is hands down one of the most gorgeous melodies I've ever heard! Beethoven was the ultimate tormented genius.

[@71lupenzo710]

il maestro era molto devoto a Mozart

[@7pianoforte]

Amazing. This is what I want to see and hear?

[@stephenpwilson1930]

Listening to this has me full of emotions. It's so perfectly conducted, with the orchestra watching and listening to eachother, the dinamics are at perfect level at all times. Just beautiful. Thank you

[@enriquesanchez2001]

THIS is how BEETHOVEN should be heard - the PEOPLE's music for the world ♥

[@jonathantc-the4habits157]

Great job, guys! Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this performance, especially in light of the inclusion of some of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's fabulous work! Keep up the excellent work. Let's hope we can all get through #lockdown and back to some sense of normalcy for the entertainment industry soon. _/\_

[@DavidTaylor-dr4of]

Superb David

[@FredSmith110]

Absolutely beautiful music.

[@senoldemirel545]

I think so 👍

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Beethoven Seventh? You dont say!

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

People write on the comments that this is a fine piece of music…….we came that far……

[@christianlajoli]

The performance was great, absolutely incredible. I enjoyed every moment of it. One thing did catch my eye and I can actually see some of the audience looking her way as well. The woman to the right of the director playing the violin, eyes popped out of her head and sat on her face cheeks, "literally".

[@calvingyasi8292]

That's Tai Murray..... A violin soloist. You can look her up.

[@fredalston7816]

praise the ultimate perfection that has come from the pen of ludwig and this faithful and committed performance of the c. o.....maestro wayne..we are waiting for william dawson's symphony....smiles. fred alston, musician.

[@nicolejje4330]

Excellent 👏👏👏

[@linzierogers961]

Astounding!

[@laurenbecker9298]

Yo why this slap so hard

[@samuelwithers6996]

Very funny comment!!

[@colinberry707]

In isolation 6 weeks just found this old video. So many able musicians particularly those of African descent for whatever reason, there are many, did not go onto fulfil their potential. However, with orchestras like Chineke, which I had the pleasure of seeing live at Basingstoke Anvil, the future looks very bright. I got back into classical when I heard Wynton Marsalis recording of the Hayden and Hummel then years later for the first time I listened to the BBC Proms in its entirety Wayne Marshall was host. It is said, that music is a universal language, hopefully through music the world will become blind to the colour of peoples skin.

[@gloriannamani1123]

Excellence! excellent performance one violinist looks like Braimoh Kenneth Mason..

[@abrahampresence8297]

Do my eyes deceive or did i see a Kanneh-Mason amongst the violinists? Braimah?

[@RichmondPunch]

Awesome!

[@tammytom9]

i had no idea there were so many brilliant classical musicians with a dark skin. Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work folks!

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Yeah! I never thought dark skin people could learn any instrument…..amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! They can!!!!!!!!!!

[@k525rebcsi]

bruh wtf

[@scottscott232]

Incredibly beautiful. Just breath-taking. Bravo.

[@mbfamilychannel3456]

COME TO CLEVELAND OHIO PLEASE

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

The 2nd Movement: “The King’s Speech”

[@984francis]

Oh yes!

[@emilyburnham7007]

The whole piece sounds great, but I especially love 33:55 )

[@wolfsettgast4945]

Indeed, Beethoven was the most disabled minority composer who ever lived (and a migrant, above all)

[@bumgardenerkreme1044]

I'd love to see/hear a performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto by Chineke! in memory and honour of Maestro Bridgetower.

[@984francis]

Yes with Braimah as the soloist. As the Elgar (cello obviously) inspired Sheku, so the Beethoven Violin Concerto inspired Braimah.

[@jean-pierrek.9819]

Très bien. Le chef est excellent. Mais la synchronisation son/image est mauvaise, et le timbalier un peu trop furieux !

[@abrahampresence8297]

....and Cheku Kanneh-Mason amonst the cellists.

[@senoldemirel545]

Timpani iş powerful before l had listend .

[@flamani54]

Great orchestra! But I thought it would help if the musicians fine tune up their instruments before coming on stage TOGETHER with the conductor. Thus, the audience will not be let waiting.

[@obbzerver]

Common practice for orchestras - however it would help if their intonation during the performance was tighter.

[@laurelindon]

Oh God.. the timpani is breaking the picture... lower intensity!

[@HornPlayer02]

Having been in the orchestra for this performance I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. It is simply how we were microphoned for the video. Paul is one of the finest and most sensitive musicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

[@laurelindon]

@@HornPlayer02 Probably... I'm definitely not blaming the musician, he's awesome. But there must be some problem with the audio rec then. Everything sounds deep, hazy and muffled, like hearing it from inside a barrel. Meanwhile, the timpani breaks windows... :D

[@deborahsmart8432]

Remember Beethoven was deaf.

[@lestermonts538]

Too much timpani! use softer mallets.

[@voughtcrusader957]

Outstanding performance. It's a shame that Woke Culture has now deemed classical music a symbol of "stuffy elitist classical culture that bolsters the rule of white males and suppresses the voices of women, blacks and the LGBTQ community" (see link to article). Apparently, their insanity knows no bounds. Classical music is for everyone. It pierces our minds and bodies, and awakens and enhances our innermost senses and selves. There is no sense of division in Beethoven's works. There's is only peace, love, joy, harmony, and sometimes even sadness. If one assumes something is racist, or sexist, or any other ist or ism, they will always find a twisted way to make their argument seem valid to others. Why must people ruin everything that is good and pure in this world? nypost.com/2020/09/17/canceling-beethoven-is-the-latest-woke-madness-for-the-classical-music-world/

Cutural appropriation -stop it!!! .....just sayin.
