Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, Eroica, 4th movement | Paavo Järvi & Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen

Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
This fourth movement of the Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, opus 55 by Ludwig van Beethoven is pure exuberance, perfectly fitting the energetic playing style of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
The movement is based on a melody that Beethoven had used in three previous compositions. One of them is his music to the ballet "The Creatures of Prometheus" about that figure from Greek mythology who is at the root of human civilization.
Accordingly, the mood here is big and grand. The movement - and the symphony - are in E-flat, a key that composers often use for heroic, noble ideas.
This is the only time Beethoven had gotten so much mileage out of a single theme. Stretching its potential even further, Beethoven turns that melody into ten variations in this Allegro molto(very fast) finale of his Third Symphony. There are quiet moments and boisterous ones, but the symphony ends in an outpouring of sheer energy.
Listen to the award-winning Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and its principal conductor Paavo Järvi in the uplifting concludion to Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony.
Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.

This symphony breaks traditions of all kinds, but it also bears the traits of the new romantic spirit. The remarkable length of this piece is accomplished through its daring structural turns, expanded by a density and abundance of musical ideas. Furthermore, in a scoring for three horns, abundant use of brass melodies, fugal writing in all but the scherzo, and an overall expansive treatment of forms, the « Eroica » reimagined the capabilities of a symphony. In structural detail and stylistic, one should not lose focus of the Third Symphony’s musical importance, Beethoven expanded the symphonic form to an unprecedented scope, altering the expectations of what a four-movement symphony would be in the next two centuries. The sum of the materials in four tableaux, is convincing of the heroic idea. The first movement achieves deep emotional complexity, and through the creation and resolution of musical dissonances harmonic, melodic, tonal, rhythmic, metric, textural, orchestrational, and formal along with the shear expansiveness of the form, conveys the heroic per ardua ad astra: through struggle to the stars! The second movement funeral march effectively turns the epic into a tragedy and, compared with the relatively mild emotional undercurrents of Beethoven’s first two symphonies, evokes an unprecedented sincerity in its gravitas and sorrow. Anguish and despair permeate unreservedly and are held together only by the emergence of hope and redemption as the music mourns for the fall of its hero. At this depth is juxtaposed the lightness "in Nature" of the third movement scherzo. In the final movement, the dramatic cascade of strings followed by a tutti fanfare signals a grand finale of a long expedition but is, instead, met with an almost mockingly humorous and delicate bass tune, which eventually reveals itself as the bass line for a much more graceful and satisfying theme, which continues to change and grow right to the horn-call and victorious ending. As a character from a Romantic heroic novel (Bildungsroman), our hero starts as only an idea, grows into a human, relaxes in nature and love, struggles through trials and tribulations, all leading to a heroic figure greater than the sum of its parts. Ludwig van Beethoven frees music from the remnants of 18th century convention, singlehandedly bringing music into a new age by giving it a transcendent voice equal to Western man’s most cherished values. *Lucien*

[@Sibethoven]

The best piece of music ever written, a finale that transcends the struggle between tragedy and comedy and instead, embodies a sense of hope for further generations. Järvi's beethoven is always the best.

Nothing embraces humanity like the 9th. One might also argue that Toscanini interprets the early Beethoven symphonies better.

6:48 is such a great oboe solo

[@sallymjmj750]

Why do the oboe and clarinet lift their instruments several times, such as around 4:15? Is it to increase their dynamics so they can be better heard above the orchestra? I’ve never noticed that before, other than the clarinet at the start Gershwin‘s Symphony in Blue. It’s almost as if they’re playing their instruments like a trumpet.

[@seanmcconnell58]

I just realized that Beethoven maybe paid homage to the intro of the symphony with his last 3 notes.
