Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 Pastoral | Jordi Savall & Le Concert des Nations

[@JBorda]

Masterpiece from my favorite composer. The sweetness, the humor, the drama and the joy. Simply amazing

[@nickaverinos5217]

My word, the climax to the final movement never fails to get me. Goosebumps. My favorite Beethoven symphony by far. And great sound quality to boot. Props to the wonderful musicians and to Maestro Savall. And Viva Beethoven!

[@scottfrazerful]

I agree with everything you said!

[@akaisenpaitsubakihiganbana6706]

Long Live Jordi Savall.

[@JuanPabloValdiviaMeyan]

Maravilloso regalo 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿! Muchísimas gracias DW! Los sigo incondicionalmente porque nos ofrecen información y cultura de alta calidad, al mismo tiempo... Y, en esta ocasión, nos deleitan con la que, en mi humilde opinión, es la más maravillosa Sinfonía del Maestro Beethoven. La conducción de Jordi Savall es magnífica y ni qué decir de la Orquesta... Excepcional 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Nuevamente, muchas, muchas gracias!

My favorite Beethoven symphony!

[@SwordsmanRyan]

Annually SiriusXM’s classical music channel has their fans vote to select the top 100 symphonies. Last year, they removed Beethoven from contention because his symphonies always dominate the top of the list.

[@echristinebirzgalis6525]

Aha......the difference with period instruments. So rich, the value of sound, resonates!

[@johnries5593]

But do you really have to undo the two major improvements made to the cello since the 18th century (the end pin and fine tuners)? I doubt that either changes the sound of the instrument. I see that the violinists and violists get to keep their chin rests and shoulder pads.

I was in Junior high School, the first time I heard this beautiful and poetic symphony. I especially love the 2nd movement and the song of the cookoo.

[@zao3166]

I first heard this symphony when I was six years old, still in kindergarten, at the home of my father's friend. He had just gotten married and bought a Czech-made record player, which was very rare in China in 1964! Its stylus arm would automatically rise and fall, and the music would start! For a child of my age, I would just move around to follow the music. Of course, the most impressive thing was the cuckoo's call in the second movement, and the violent storm and thunder and lightning in the third movement! Of course, I also liked the farmers' dance to thank nature after the rain. This was the first time I heard a symphony in my life, and I have loved Western classical music ever since.

Just finished listening to the whole performance. Spring here is springing very fast. Perhaps because I am a bit sleep deprived, due to a mix of “daylight saving” and personal reasons I was reluctant to bound around the way this performance did. A very interesting assortment of wind instruments and the leader / first violinist most respectfully followed the every wish of the conductor. A very interesting performance. The few glimpses of the audience showed masks 😷 and I wondered was I seeing glass or plastic screens between the brass and others.

[@georwoogle]

Bravo! One of the best.

The horn was such a wonderful instrument. 😇🎼

Many thanks DW, you always overpass the spectations, this is "music made for minds"

[@DWClassicalMusic]

That's music to our ears, thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@annbogden2847]

Healing and transformative music

[@moogfooger]

After listening to this performance I realized why I don't like listening to modern instruments. They have no character and the players need to artificially create it with over playing and gestures that distract from the music. The natural poise and individual character of the different sections of this orchestra need no artificial external influence as they are beautiful in their tonality and balance. The basses, horns and tympani in particular have an incredible directness and power that cannot be achieved by modern style instrumentation. Balance this with a conductor who fully understands this quality and you have this music that is an embodyment of Beethovens intentions. The closest we have come to what was in his mind when composing this masterpiece. Thank you Maestro Savall for an enlightening and mind manifesting experience of the sound of the early 19th Century. This shows me how much we have lost!

[@ravishankartj5749]

I completely agree. Mechanised music. The tragedy is that it has takers

[@moogfooger]

@@ravishankartj5749 Thanks Mr Shankar! Beetoven deserves the best that is humanly possible. Anf this is pretty close! Cheers

[@bobsteiner9209]

Some of the comments suggest the performance is too fast, especially the first movement. But note that Beethoven asked for Allegro or Allegretto in all the movements but one. I think that Savall's tempos are what the composer would have preferred. Some modern orchestras slow things down, giving the music a romantic gloss, which is fine if listeners enjoy it. But this version is more authentic with regard to both instruments and tempi.

[@jakeplonk888]

The principal horn is dressed like he’d just finished his shift as database administrator before turning up to the concert.

[@BillHong19.56]

From an aural standpoint, I also enjoy performances such as these where the 1st and 2nd violins are split to opposite sides of the orchestra, which brings out the conversational nature of the composer's writing between these sections.

[@TheGreggoryDavid]

Jordi Savall is a modern master! On a funny note… I guess the 2nd chair French Horn missed the all black memo.

[@I05-e4s]

@DW Classical Music, do you happen to have the version that was once on your channel, with Bernard Haitink as conductor ·, performed by the Berliner Philharmonike, recorded at the Berlin Philharmonie, 06 March 2015? This version is beautiful, but I really miss that version also...

[@noemiserra3366]

La versió de Paavo Järvi també és bona.

[@bettymartinez8554]

Very good!

[@leestamm3187]

A well articulated and enjoyable performance, although the first movement is a bit too brisk for my liking. Thanks for sharing.

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

My thoughts exactly. The other movements are just right, though

[@antoniodegennaro2030]

La pastorale oppure sinfonia n.6 di LV.Beethoven segue i tempi come le quattro stagioni di Vivaldi che è stupenda. Primavera, estate, autunno e la tempesta " inverno"Quattro tempi

[@MrThepresident2009]

Assolutamente no... Si chiama pastorale perché parla di una giornata vissuta in campagna ... Non per niente, il quarto movimento si chiama "Sturm" proprio a testimoniare un improvviso temporale che coglie di sorpresa la festa organizzata dai contadini...

[@user-atomchan117e]

あまり攻め過ぎないのが大人の振る舞い。流石、サヴァールさん。しかし、タクト捌きは明快そのもの。素晴らしい。

[@ralfbeckmann597]

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

Wonderful, although I'd slowdown the 1st movement and the climaxes of each movement a bit

Could we have a slower version please.

So hat Beethoven seine Pastorale nicht hetzen wollen. Wo ist die Romantik, wo ist die ländliche Stille, die er gerade mit der Pastorale gefunden hat. Herr Jordi Savall verfälscht die Noten - damit hat er Karajan übertroffen. Furtwängler ist der Interprät, der die Pastorale allen Romantikern den nötigen Raum gibt

[@paulusrex321]

I like Haitink's performance, but we see Beethoven's 6th Symphony perform all the time on modern instruments, let us take a break from that I listen to the authentic instrument performance, or historically informed performance as they are called nowadays.

What is 'too fast'? It suits a performance on period instruments and sounds 'cheerful'.
