Mich besehlen diese Musikwerke immer mit mit einer unsagbar inneren Stimmung. Die 7. bringt mich immer dazu zu sagen bringt nun endlich unser DEUTSCHLAND wieder in Ordnung. Vielen Dank Meister BEETHOVEN.

[@barney6888]

Where would we be without Ludwig van? God Bless his soul and I hope to meet him in The Lord's kingdom someday.

[@joebailey9437]

WOW ! what spectacular playing! What a lovrfest among Beethoven the conductor, orchester, and audience...a night to remember!

Alan Gilbert's conducting shows the joy and exuberance that Beethoven instilled in this work. Therefore, the entire orchestra responds in kind. What a delightful and heartwarming performance. Thank you!

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting, much appreciated!

Meine Bewunderung für dieses Werk war,ist und bleibt grenzenlos, vielen Dank !❤

[@markovelikonja5399]

What a lovely orchestra, and a wonderful hall. I was sorry when Alan Gilbert left the NY Phil because I thought he was a breath of fresh air for that hidebound institution and would have been a great leader when they had to improvise during the Geffen Hall renovation. But I think he chose wisely. Love these videos.

[@NDRKlassik]

We are delighted that Alan Gilbert is our Chief Conductor and are pleased that you enjoy his work with us so much. 🤩

[@tjlamb3739]

Most Beautiful performance of the 7th I think I have ever heard!

[@NDRKlassik]

Oh, that's a nice comment! Thank you!!

[@lemondesymphonique]

What a seventh Symphony !!...great !

[@NDRKlassik]

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! :)

[@FernandoLXIX]

👏👏👏 What a time we live in. It's crazy we can enjoy this for free anytime, anywhere. People form the XVIII century would do backflips if they found out!

[@NDRKlassik]

Yes, indeed. We are happy that you appreciate our music so much. 🫶

.....nicht auf den Strassenanzug kommt es an, sondern was darin steckt....wunderbarer Maestro Gilbert...!!!!

[@NDRKlassik]

Immer!!

[@hedahedoh4488]

Beethoven's crazy warhorse: fantastic! Die Hoerner, die agilen Streicher, das Dirigat, eigentlich alles hat mir sehr gut gefallen! Way to go, Alan!

[@karlmatsumoto9281]

I am always pleasantly surprised how this conductor makes me feel I am listening to these Beethoven war horses for the first time. Riveting.

[@mysticmouse7261]

The seventh is hardly a warhorse. The 5th the 9th. This symphony is rarely performed because of the technical difficulty.

Wunderschön ! Gratuliere Elbphilharmonie Orchester und Dirigent Alan Gilbert. 👏🏻👏🏻💐💐

[@NDRKlassik]

Herzlichen Dank! 🤩

[@winrx]

I have never heard the beginning of the Allegretto phrased in this manner - it is genius.....

[@leestamm3187]

A spirited and very enjoyable performance from Maestro Gilbert and the orchestra. It has long been my great pleasure to see the wonderful Roland Greutter in the Concertmaster's Chair. Thank you so much.

[@NDRKlassik]

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting, much appreciated!

[@waynelutton4634]

I used to hear syndicated radio broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic when Alan Gilbert was their chief conductor. It seems to me that he enjoys conducting in Hamburg and his performances are more enjoyable. He may well have a better orchestra! In any event, this is a fine rendition of the Beethoven 7th. Thanks for posting and All the Best to those involved in this production from a listener in Washington,DC

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, in the name of everyone involved!

[@Artist_Aejoo]

Bravo 👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing ❤

[@verdiguy]

Wonderful performance and so nice to see Michael Hasel from the Berlin Philharmonic sitting in as principal flute! Thanks for posting the concert!

[@NDRKlassik]

Our pleasure, as always! Great to have you with us!

[@davidhewins]

Thanks for a fine performance at a good fast tempo!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, with pleasure!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I like this interpretation very much. A little bit faster than Haitink in the first movement. Well, that´s always a matter of personal taste. I have come to the conclusion that I like this better, it has more "swing" in it. The second movement can never be played bad, and the third has all the guts needed. All ending in the fourth movement with this joyful Bacchus. As I understand, this is a very Beethovenian interpretation, if you can say so. Thank you all so much.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, with pleasure! :)

Muchas gracias

Con mucho gusto!

[@TheVaughan5]

The NDR Philharmonie made a master stroke in appointing Alan Gilbert as their principal conductor. One of today’s finest conductors unlike certain other principals who, from what I’ve heard so far, are more style (and hype) over substance.

[@NDRKlassik]

The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra says thank you! :)

[@djkim4681]

Wow, Gilbert's interpretation of Beethoven symphonies has greatly improved! Much better than the recording that he made with the NY Phil.

Very transparent performance. Excellent ensemble playing. What are names of the Horn players, please?

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you! :) There is Tobias Heimann, if you want to know more about our Horn section -> www.ndr.de/orchester_chor/elbphilharmonieorchester/orchester/Hoerner,bilduebersicht119.html

Klare und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt traurig. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Der intelligente und geniale US-amerikanische Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete deutsche Dirigent im relativ schnellen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@andreisamarin3517]

[@Adeodatus100]

Too often in the 7th, the Scherzo can seem a little lame after the magnificent Allegretto. Not here, though - beautifully done, Mr Gilbert!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, we are happy you like it! 🤩

[@davidpanton3192]

Good stuff, though I notice one of the cellists seems to have covered his instrument in treacle.

[@gaby-marianopper2460]

Statt meckern muss man erstmal so Dirigieren können und das Orchester in so einer professionellen Art zu leiten ist mehr wer als ein wunderbaren Anzug 😁 oder Frack liebe Grüße GM 👋💕

[@leestamm3187]

Ich stimme zu. Das ist das Einzige, was ich an Gilbert nicht mag. Der Maestro sollte ebenso förmlich gekleidet sein wie seine Musiker.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

222mozart: If a black T-shirt make you miss this music I only can say I am sorry.

Und genau diese verstaubten und elitären Sichtweisen lassen das Klassikpublikum und das Interesse an klassischer Musik langsam aber sicher aussterben. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
