Beethoven: Symphony No.3, "Eroica"; Jarvi, DKB

[@gswhipkey1]

My favorite interpretation of the Eroica. Jarvi is just about the only conductor I've found on KZbin who gives the piece the brisk tempi that I think are crucial in order to convey the energy and urgency of the piece. ESPECIALLY in the glorious third movement - I find I'm no longer satisfied unless the third movement is played at least this tempo. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@psalmtone2008]

Not just the tempi. It's the idea of the internal rhythms...the stressed hemiolas, the inner voices.

[@maakmakmak]

Charles Cornner Yes, but overall, the music has to be fast enough to bring out all of Beethoven’s what I call (random brilliance) where you never know what’s next.

[@johnpeschke7723]

he has a sense of tempo for each movement and not just here, see his recording of Saint-Saens organ symphony...a marvelous interpretation of that work.

[@andrewb9974]

100% best Eroica, and I've heard hundreds including as a cellist myself...

[@Ohsoaskarian]

Exactly. Even the 2nd movement. It’s a funeral (March) so it’s the perfect tempo here.

[@jorgesuarez7077]

I cannot get enough of this video. The musicians in this orchestra play as if their lives depended on it. Just wonderful!

[@ricardoguzman114]

This rendition really captures those amazing ideas and quick musical intellect that Beethoven had overflowing in his mind.

[@Noe2-qr4mn]

There is no one quite like Beethoven. He had a style that was all his own. A top composer! This is a great orchestra too! Thank you for sharing...

[@talevita]

I’ve never been able to decide if I like this more than Beethoven’s 6th or 7th and that’s okay because I have time to listen to all of them every day. I’m so glad.

[@johnpeschke7723]

jarvi know every note, who is supposed to be playing that note, and looks directly at each and every musician as he conducts. that kind of attention to and respect for your musicians will produce a stellar performance almost every time.

[@scheepalicious]

Now THIS is what a modern day orchestra should sound like! Brings tears to my eyes.

[@mannfredharjung8926]

Yes

[@clemmteetonball11]

Yes again

[@humptydumpty-m8u]

me too.

[@stjames3852]

jarvi, always magnificent. very fast playing, very talented group. beautiful music.

[@psalmtone2008]

The coda to the first movement is heaven, especially the cellos and basses towards the end.

[@Lodovico-cy2kz]

Concordo, il tema principale aperto sul si bemolle con tre timbri diversi, uniti al crescendo, fanno di quel passaggio qualcosa di davvero titanico. Love Beethoven

[@drDamian91]

Wonderful violoncellist at 38:20 and on :D Great perfomance as well, beautiful ideas from Jaarvi.

[@peaceharmony4115]

Thank you so much for uploading these Beethoven symphonies, as directed by Jarvi, and performed by DKB! These are among the finest works of music ever written, and they are played wonderfully here. Un grand merci!

[@deepnosepicker]

Je t'en prie :)

[@alvarito45]

Great great maestro Jarvi! Wonderful orchestra!

[@farid554]

GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF EROICA I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. CAPTURED ALL OF THE ENERGY!

[@jamasob]

Of course after the great karajan

[@mannfredharjung8926]

It is great

[@mannfredharjung8926]

@@jamasob Well, but Karajan was to soft

[@anthonyhk]

The best beethoven cycle and the best eroica, from Jarvi and DKB

[@haydnenthusiast]

Absolutely true

[@andrewb9974]

It's floating in outer space...how on earth haven't people realized this is out of this world yet? The whole cycle, yes! But even #3 alone...the second mov is outrageously brilliant. The tempo...the timpani...the whole damn thing!!!!! I liken Jarvi as the newer Kleiber. Both just "get it" and his skills in conveying to the orchestra are similar. Forever grateful 🙏

[@johnries5593]

The camera work on this video is gorgeous.

[@smitlag]

I often get emotionally overwhelmed by the intensity of the development section. It is almost like Beethoven captured God holding man accountable and thus pointing out the incredible suffering of humanity by the hands of mankind and demanding an answer.

[@GeoffreyLeather]

I agree with the other comments about this performance and he lets the musicians play naturally, not forced which maybe Beethoven intended it to be. Bravo again!!

[@karsadkarsad]

The march and march-like parts are the best in this conduction. Well done horn gentlemen. Great!

[@9UaYXxB]

Photography really focused upon what's going on inside the musicians and Jarvi rather than their fingerings... intriguing, I like this approach

[@annetimms8431]

[@XavFranz]

My favorite Beethoven symphony! Genius masterpiece! I think, It's final - 4 part is the most nice work for orchestra!)) I like exactly this performance! Very good interpretation!

[@domenicogargiulo6218]

Bellissimo! Interpretazione stupenda; andamento più celere rispetto a tutte le altre interpretazioni che conosco e un senso dell'agogica e un gusto nell'esporre le frasi superlativo. Eccezionale maestro. Tra le migliori se non la migliore interpretazione che io abbia mai sentito.

[@samuelfabian9737]

No matter how many times you may have heard the Eroica, this one is like hearing (and seeing) it for the first time. Congratulations to all concerned!

[@allenhubbard7090]

Correct. You always pick up on something new.

[@samuelfabian9737]

The Finale starts at 34:25.

[@dexternorman4136]

That touch of "Quartet" in the Finale is very awesome

[@caginn]

Agree! @35:47 I wonder in which edition of this work it appears.

[@amirkammona7480]

The louder drum beating at the part that starts from about 21:50 feels fantastic and I wish they were even louder at least as alternative rendition.

[@tanaraci92]

Crazy good interpretation obviously. Might even be the best. But the production values of the video itself is also very impressive. I don't think I've ever seen a symphony shot on film this well. Perfect (and musically informed) close-ups. Just enough conductor shots. Incredible work.

[@johntaylor1953]

Beautiful tempo. Not dragging like many other versions.Thank you!

[@MirjaRiihimaki]

Beethoven's music was my "first love"- it is sometime powerful and gentle

[@saifulrimkeit296]

Such a majestic ending to this Symphony. I trust you are now composing for the Angels, wherever you are.

[@thejibberjabberwookiee8604]

Bitte sehr. Dies Musik ist sehr spannend und interessant. Ich liebe das Musik von Beethoven.

[@happinessg1062]

Intensive artistic feeling comunicates high-end intellectual power

[@ИванДмитриенко-х6г]

How it must be difficult to rethink and refresh the 200-year old Holy Graal of classical music. But Mr. Jarvi did it! I hear vastness of intellect in every phrase. Some decisions may sound even too alternative but overall it is a master's touch. Simply splendid.

Beethoven+ Jarvi+ DKB = Soulgasm

[@humptydumpty-m8u]

Bravo! Sublime performance.🙏🏻

[@alfredogomez5241]

The first and second movements are excellent.

[@Schrodinger_]

39 people declared themselves emperor and Beethoven tore up his dedication of this song to them.

[@ささな-c1y]

It is my favorite❤️I love beethoven!

[@mannfredharjung8926]

My too

[@davidlis8756]

This symphony was first performed in Vienna around 1804 in a small room in front of noble dignitaries. Joseph Haydn heard about the casual premier of this symphony and arrived just as the 4th movement was beginning. He knew right away that Beethovan's style was different and unique. He didn't necessarily like it and actually called it "quite noisy", but he knew that the time had come for change and evolution of orchestral music and he accepted it. He stated that "from this day forward, marks a new beginning".

[@zonto22]

[@davidlis8756]

Riley Lovendale Watch the Movie "Eroica" here on YT. It's all spelled out historically and the actors did tremendous job in the movie.

[@KenNickels]

+David Lis Papa Haydn was old enough to live out the maxim, Good. Better. Best. Bested.

[@andymilsten9096]

David Lis exactly! I watched that, and they were amazing actors. They really gave an idea to what the real first rehearsal was like in real life. Now of course in all Beethoven movies everything that happens is stuff that really happened when he was alive so they are very realistic.

[@helmutschmid4841]

Leonore Beethovens

[@Nizlopi01]

Yeah, it's fantastic. Never heard it like that before.

[@gbisaga]

I love concerts on video! This is up there with the Ninth Symphony from Berlin conducted by Bernstein right after the wall fell.

[@johnries5593]

The story of Beethoven tearing up the dedication to Napoleon Bonaparte in a rage upon learning that he had crowned himself Emperor may well be apocryphal, but it is clear that Beethoven never forgave Napoleon for doing it; though a more astute political observer might have noted that the French state over which the latter had presided for the previous five years was a republic in name only. Beethoven wouldn't have been the first or last man to have turned a blind eye to a supposed hero's failings until they could no longer be ignored. I've long imagined that the funeral march in the second movement was for Napoleon himself.

[@historicwine1283]

Is that story apocryphal though? We still have the manuscript, which has a hole on the page where Napoleon's name was, because the composer's pen went through the paper as he was scribbling it out. Seems like some pretty ferocious scribbling.

[@ferarista1]

buena ejecución, el director hizo buen contraste entre lo rápido del 1 mov. y lo lento del 2º., claridad del trío de cornos en el 3ª mov. Buena orquesta. Gracias por compartir este vídeo.

[@zigleveit]

I'd love to hear this crew doing the other 8. The winds sound good, and so does the brass. It wants a bit of weight in the bass, but it is so difficult to convey the parts well in this format. The work done here is quite respectable. Damn, that recap in the first movement, and that coda, what an astounding work of art! Bravo!!

[@MrDsmalls]

Absolutely magnificent! The tempi is exactly where it should be. The Chailly recording is similar and also excellent.

[@DerDon]

I love the string quartet in the 4th movement!

[@volkermuller-mattheis7228]

Simply great! Remembers me of Carlos Kleiber style!

[@berthajackson7450]

Beethoven Symphony's No. 3, "Eroica" is beautiful. The instruments were skillfully played and the conductor was quite passionate. I didn't think that I would like Beethoven, but I was impressed. It is very relaxing and delightful. Bravo Beethoven!

[@s695579]

The Eroica literally changed the way composers thought about music forever

i can hear the eq compressing, its kinda like love how most people hide their true feelings long enough to create a facade.

[@calebyoungconductor]

The best I've heard. Amazing.

[@ThyAxeman]

Jarvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Beethoven himself would be proud

[@XavFranz]

After 37:09 and till 37:54 - unreal magnificent and nice theme of this masterpiece!) But of course, all symphony is miracle!

[@BeingStupidStudios]

I love Paavo Jarvi

[@alexandrefenerich0405]

I love the emphasis by the conductor/ Tonmeister on the Contrabass section - unusual on other versions.

[@samboothbass]

Bravo!

[@herbiecactus6687]

Nice performance. The leaner orchestra fits the piece.

[@사마천원리적인식]

all time greatest symphony~!!!

[@victormunoz3284]

Victor Muñoz Brillante version de Jarvi no la conocia, sus tonalidades y sus cambios de ritmo agigantan la figura del mas grande compositor de todos los tiempos Beethoven.

[@XavFranz]

-28:54 - is 3d part "Scherzo". -34:26 - is final part.

[@mostxianwuofyou]

What we do and what we think is right here.... OMG

[@WilliamKroupaJr.]

[@themanitoueatery1543]

This conductor conducts with his chii, among other things. 👌

[@cyeric4x]

Amazing!

[@TheMaestro2005]

I really like his interpretation, the second movement was a little to fast for my taste, but i love how he modernized the trumpet line a bit that really stuck out to me.

[@andymilsten9096]

Maestro Prodigy agreed! I’m glad he did that.

[@fatehserdouk5636]

45.33 PERFECT FOR ME

[@muhammad_hilyah]

38:25 - 39:05 this passage will always be my favourite

[@XavFranz]

Clarinetists and bassoonists - especial super masters at this orchestra!)

[@PurpleRevolutionMusic]

fun little detail. I just watched Last Action Hero again and in the scene where Jack Slater's second cousin dies the main motif of the funeral march is quoted in the score

[@labemolmineur]

Yes, yes, yes! Been looking hard for a video featuring the horn-call in the third movement so I can use it for a lecture on the instruments on the orchestra, and this, only this, has the daring energy and excitement and joy that I have been craving! Anything less feels like an offense to Beethoven's music.

[@javiervicedomartinez]

Al director Paavo Jarvi le vi en los videos de música clásica en un avión de Lufhansa de Pekin a Franfurt ,dirigia la Novena de Beetowen......no se la pierdan.Aire fresco ,ni mejor ni peor, otra cosa , creo que fué lo mejor de mi viaje a China.

[@noemiserra3366]

[@jrhernandez2991]

Excelente interpretación de uno de los grandes genios de la música clásica como Beethoven, vi al maestro Paavo Jarvi en el canal de cultura 30 en México y quede maravillado con la fuerza y sentimiento que fue interpretada los sinfonías del maestro Beethoven, ojala en México hubiera mas cultura en lo popular de esta música tan bella e histrionica que nos trasporta a los mas sórdidos sentimientos.

[@jeff13340]

going to the IV movement like a boss B-]

[@MC-zg6yg]

1st movement Tempo is perfect for me. it's not too fast!! beginning tempo is exactly 60.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

No. It is not twice that. It's a three quarter beat and Beethoven asks for exactly that tempo. One beat per bar, 60 per minute. So every bar takes a second. And this is exactly what Järvi is conducting.

[@sunnymarky]

Nice to see complete pieces on the Tube by the DKB rather than the Berlin Phil charging alot to watch on their website

[@parakozm3927]

Jarvi does this symphony like no other and his version is superior

[@parkergrosman]

No doubt his best symphony

[@egonandresfigueroaelgueta4662]

Show timpani... Interpretação maravilhosa bravo Pavoo

[@violin123456]

Completely agree. This is still a very good performance, but it lacks the intensity of the earlier version (which I implore people to listen to!). In that recording, the music and musicians gain a life of their own, something impossible to describe but completely overwhelming. Made my hair stand on end. I think Jarvi and the DKB have become more legato in their playing, and seem to use more rubato - perhaps that is part of why this performance is less thrilling.

[@ernstraedecker6174]

Indeed. The other version (2006 I believe) is better, brisker, more transparent, although this performance is still very good. Honeck also excellent, apart from the finale.

[@wclasic2008]

Excelente orquesta y magistralmente conducida por el maestro Jarvi , solo tengo una inconformidad por la forma del manejo de las cámaras en estos vídeos ya que los cambios tan rápidos que hacen al enfocar cada sección resultan incómodos para disfrutar visualmente de la orquesta, me parece que sería mejor dedicarle algunos segundos más a cada sección instrumental o hacer tomas donde se apreciarán más de una sección a la vez en lugar de hacer movimientos tan rápidos que no nos permite deleitarnos de la gran ejecución de los músicos.

[@marciarijfkogelrijfkogel4587]

[@RayReegs]

Difficult to believe this came from a human mind !

[@andymilsten9096]
