Eine ganz hervorragende Interpretation. Durchsichtig, kraftvoll, sauber ausgearbeitet, präzise und unglaublich edel, wunderbare Tempi... Kompliment an alle Ausführenden unter einem wirklich blickigen Dirigenten.

An outstanding performance, especially the choir's harmonies were truly exquisite. The Altos' harmonies had a solid, pillar-like quality that was simply beautiful.

Fehler... Diese Präsentation fand letzten Sonntag, den 5. Mai, statt. 2 Tage vor dem 200. Jahrestag seiner Premiere in Wien, Österreich. Ich war dort.

[@NDRKlassik]

Das Konzert fand an zwei Abenden statt, am 3. und am 5. Mai - der Livestream wurde am 3. Mai gesendet, von diesem Datum wurde auch der Mitschnitt erstellt. Freut uns sehr, dass Sie das Konzert live gesehen haben!

This is Big League Beethoven! Wonderful! You know, the San Francisco Symphony will be needing a new Music Director to replace Salonen in 2026… Just a thought 💭 🧐

I like the live version better, although its highest resolution is 720p60, it sounds more musical. I am puzzled.

Beethoven made Mozarts death easier to take for the Viennese public. After all he had character flaws. He didn’t follow protocol. Also his hygiene must have made his various host wonder more about him.

Tenor grausig...es kann nicht jeder wie Domingo singen, dass ist klar aber das ist fast noch schlimmer als Kaufmann😢
