Beethoven: Symphony No.2; Jarvi, DKB

[@nisanak]

I love Jarvi's understanding of contrast. Beethoven loves contrasts and Jarvi make them beautiful.

[@TheAtheist22]

I totally agree with you. Jarvi to me is a mixture between Karajan and Bernstein.

[@suchihnubermsternenzeltube6013]

Underrated symphony

[@andymilsten9096]

The best performance of this symphony ever! I hate it when people say this symphony is boring, you’re wrong because the last movement is the most fun movement of anything that was written before this.

[@timtremblay8601]

The Symphony No. 2 has increasingly become my favorite Beethoven symphony., so uplifting and brilliant. many nuances, dynamics, signature melodic intervals., I simply Love it~! Thanks very much for this rendition it is very well received~! Being a French Horn player I would love to suggest Mozart Fourth Horn Concerto with Dennis Brain soloist~! God is Good it's only some people who suck.

[@ChrisTopher-1599]

Bravo Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie! This is by far my favorite performance of this piece! Now I can't wait to check out the rest of the entire Beethoven cycle performed by them with Jarvi. Amazing.

[@vangel1443]

Totally agree. Jarvi brings Beethoven to its brightest standard. IMHO this version of the 2nd is much better than others around in KZbin. In fact, I didn't know that I liked the 2nd so much until I heard Jarvi and the Kammerphilharmonie.

[@lj291261]

What a wonderful performance! The Beethoven cycle performed by Maestro Jaervi and the Bremen Staatskapelle is just stunning. A+++ !!!!!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Kammerphilharmonie. Bremen has no Staatskapelle. ;)

[@TheAtheist22]

One of the Greatest Conductors of our times. Calibrated somewhere between Karajan and Benstein, 2 of the Greatest ever.

[@lolitalolipops4154]

Im always in awe of how we can produce something so beautiful

[@Lurcanio1]

Beethoven's most underrated symphony probably. What a masterpiece! Wonderful, wonderful recording!

[@killuam9wd553]

I like it too

[@nboehm8410]

Absolutely fantastic..a minimalist conductor who lets the orchestra do what they do best...And to Zac..we Germans and Austrians have an extreme love of music, but are fatally flawed..as are all humans.

[@Tensai180]

It´s hard to beleve that only one man could compose this amazing piece...Beethoven was really a genius

[@johnries5593]

I think he was. The only contemporary of his that I can think of with comparable intellect was Thomas Jefferson. Too bad the two men never met, as I think they would have had a lot to talk about.

[@Ukgejap]

@@johnries5593 it's interesting what You write, so Beethoven was a revolutionary, an innovator, He was also active in politics at the time, but what do You mean by that?

[@kokonssp]

It's a Beethoven masterpiece that feels very stable. This masterpiece was conducted by Jarvi with an outstanding sense of stability.

[@gimaru1]

excellent performance! that dramatic ascending passage from 10;40-11;02 gives me goosebumps.

[@lastfirst6626]

The last moments of the first movment are combarible to a Hollywood car chase. I loved it.

[@leandropatrickveloso4441]

Acredito ser umas das sinfonias mais expressivas de Beethoven, onde o desprezo, a ironia, a raiva, a revolta e a conformação se faz presente em um único lugar.

[@LUISLONDONO1]

Maravilla de obra y magnifica interpretación. Gran gozo. Bravo Beethoveen!!!

[@Music4Evert]

El manejo de las cámaras es excelente y la música espectacular...todo un placer auditivo y visual :)

[@RayReegs]

This performance truly gives one an idea of the much bigger scope of this symphony in comparison to the first. A truly first rate performance.

[@shaggybreeks]

A few years ago, I found a video of street musicians doing the first of the second on a street in Italy. About 20 musicians at the most, and they nailed it. This is Beethoven's funnest symphony.

[@saavedra4661]

In my humble opinion this is the best performance ever.

[@davebarclay4429]

Superb performance. As others have said the camera work is outstanding and so is the audience - no clapping between movements, no coughing or dropping stuff during the quiet bits, in fact you'd hardly know they were there until the end. I'd go so far as to say that Paavo Järvi has become a finer conductor than his father. He has inherited Neemi's technical brilliance and command of the orchestra but without his tendency to drive the music too hard and play loud and fast for its own sake.

[@swordoff7]

It's been posted below already. I also think the camera work and the editing is splendid.

[@MirjaRiihimaki]

I just love Beethoven's music-it is so uderstandable! My goast leg olso loves it-it is silent and listens it!( I have lost my right leg)

[@josefsekon8966]

Jarvi and Beethoven, what a perfect match!

[@Ukgejap]

This is the best Beethoven’s 2nd performance that I heard.Just amazing!Bravi!Why so many dislikes? can’t understand.

[@helenaconstantine]

They must think Chuck Berry is better.

[@alanabit]

I particularly like the Scherzo, third movement. I know nothing about this type of music, but Jarvi seems to want it played with a lighter touch than other versions I have heard. Sounds good to my ears though!

[@RO-zo8mp]

Jarviはだいたいコンスタントにいい演奏してくれるから外れは無いです。1分43秒に、普通の演奏ではちょっと聴こえないような弦が鳴って、ヴァイオリニストが、あんたやったわねと二カッとするのがなんとも微笑ましい。

[@joyceprice8988]

Love this music❤🎉

[@maci25]

1:45 - 1:50 anyone else realized it is almost like in the 9th symphony's 1. movement theme?

[@irinayegorova3552]

It is small seed of the 9th Symphony)

[@glusirina]

[@rajheet]

Nice that the trumpets go old school and play on valveless trumpets while the horns are saying screw that! Great performance.

[@carlosbashuertas]

Remarkable, sounds so beautiful, thanks!

[@aliciamattis]

Thank you for this, this has really helped me work on my paper.

[@duanejohnson8786]

The recorded Beethoven offered here is some of the best we’ve heard in a long time: rhythmic, propulsive, and organically musical from start to finish… …but the orchestra’s stagily choreographed performance style is best left omitted. Listen to it with your eyes closed and you will understand what I mean.

[@jeff2446]

Truly superb, like all the others in this cycle.

[@clifflowton1912]

Oh what a refreshing delight!

[@oboe15jf]

1.53 That's exactly Beethovens style...love it

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup.

[@jeparmephufier2465]

I love his take on all the movements but the third in particular. I’m used to hearing it faster but somehow his speed helped bring out the cheeky like contrasts and surprises if that makes sense. Idk it just struck me more what that movement is all about, ha

[@handel-jsb.814]

LudwigのSymfonyとしては地味な印象があったため、意外と演奏する機会が少ないが、パーヴォがタクトを振れば、現代曲のように蘇る。しかも当時を彷彿させる原典に近い表現、推進力!パーヴォ・ヤルヴィのBeethovenは最上の響きを具現化し、聴きては緊張の渦に巻き込まれるだろう！　bravo!!💐 hm

[@madaboutvoice]

Why do you insult Maestro Järvi by likening him to a major criminal and mafioso?

[@ChocloManx]

[@lovettboston]

A lot conductors look stern or dictatorial when they're on the podium. Otherwise, if you're going to profile Jarvi on appearance, you might start by remembering that he's from Estonia.

[@Michael-um2cw]

hahaha yeh good joke !!!

[@swordoff7]

@@lovettboston Thanks for pointing Msr. Jarvi is from Estonia. I don't quite understand why the post mentioned Putin unless it was a joke. I rather observe the conductor as a fairly light hearted person. Not too many conductors convey their desires in addressing the musicians through facial sympathetic gestures as Master Jarvi has done. My observation.

[@jamessalepe]

A esa gran lista de las sinfonías 3, 5, 6, 7 y 9 de Beethoven, de hecho deben incluirse la 1 y la 2. La primera desde el inicio ya nos depara lo que será la gran obra sinfónica de Ludwig con ese comienzo disonante y distinto a los demás clásicos. La segunda es un anticipo a la Eroica, totalmente alegre, no da respiro, ya innovaba con esa festividad, y eso ya era casi romanticismo.

[@cmillerg6306]

FIRST CLASS performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@coasterfrk100]

this is Beethoven's least performed symphony.can't understand why.

[@johnries5593]

If you're right, then that's rather curious, as the First and Eighth Symphonies have always struck me as the least memorable.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I believe it is the 4th that is the least performed.

[@balvahkiin]

I think it's easier to say that everyone usually perform just the 9th, 7th, 5th, 3rd and 6th, completely forgetting about the rest (and that's a shame, because those are at least as brilliant as those "huge" ones..). It's a blessing though, that thanks to conductors like maestro Järvi we can still experience those ignored symphonies at live concerts.

[@andymilsten9096]

Stan C I know, the last movement is the best thing. It should not be ignored at all!

[@aldenwilner3300]

Not too thrilled by that userid. But I like the performance. IMO, it's tough to play Beethoven too fast. You can play his music all solemn and slow and majestic, but it's better if you let the joy out.

[@caginn]

I find it annoying that at the first symphony 3rd movement he conducts it with observing all the repeats i.e. : aabb-ccdd-aabb where a and b are the two parts of the menuet and c and d are the two parts of the trio. Here, although the structure is same he dispenses with the repeat of the b after the trio i.e.: aabb-ccdd-aab. Why? I truly enjoy the musicianship though and will go on with the cycle. Thanks for the upload(s).

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I assume because he thinks in a Scherzo the structure in the dacapo is different. It's a common misconception. 95% of musicians seem to think that in a dacapo you play without repeat. But if that were so self evident then why does Beethoven indicate in two of his sonata scherzi "Da capo senza repetizione"? My answer to that is that the normal case is that you have to play the repeats in a dacapo, and since everybody in Beethoven's time knew that it was not worth mentioning. He mentions the opposite case because it goes against the usual procedure.

Crappy camera work! Like they didn't pay any attention to the structure of the composition at all, like they never heard it, and just pointed the cameras around and switched shots at random, without any regard to the music, without any consultation with the conductor, without any planning beforehand, seeming to say "look at the tight closeup we can get on this... oh, wait, look at THIS". If you don't know what you're doing, just point the camera at the conductor and sit down.

This is a very good rendition, for me better than Karajan's with Berlin Philharmonic. But i believe that all 7 Beethoven's symphonies composed later are much better than this work. Symphonies 1 and 2 aren't in the same league as 3, 9, 5, 7, or 6.
