Beethoven: 3. Sinfonie (»Eroica«) ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada 

Thank you for not putting ads in the middle of the piece! Much appreciated.

When this conductor and orchestra come together, magic happens.

Beethoven wrote this piece to appreciate how napoleon supported the French revolution and brought down the monarchy. But later napoleon crowns himself emperor imagine how pissed Beethoven would have been

The tempo is fantastic. I love this recording so much. The wind players, timpanist, so great. Maestro Estrada is so awesome!

Can’t get enough of this. It’s infused with energy. I love how he focuses his applause on the orchestra❤️ He seems humble. He’s a great conductor!

I have come to the point where watching these professionals is as enjoyable as the music itself. Wow. These folks are GOOD.

Love this orchestra! Love the vintage brass! Love this conductor! Love Ludwig!

The Eroica is the symphony of symphonies.

Wow I see so many comments from the last few days. That proves, Beethoven is timeless

The more I listen this fabulous orchestra the more I don't change it neither BP nor LSO. Andrés Orozco-Estrada and this great group of musicians make my life. And during this pandemic time they have demonstrated they are all excellent soloist.

I've "discovered" Beethoven more extensively at this late point in my life, and it seems to me that he was the genuine pioneer of 19th-century music, really paving the way for Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. And Orozco-Estrada, Norrington and other modern conductors have found out how to brush the cobwebs away from this genial musician and his music. It is a pleasure to hear (and see) them at work. A real public service. Many thanks! JAT

Auch auf dem Heimkino: überwältigend gut. Danke an alle Künstler und den Helfern und Technikern bei dem Konzert. An Beethoven sowieso, was für eine gewaltige Musik.

This is the first symphony I listened to 50 years ago.

Unbelievably perfect intonation during the entire 3rd, here. Beautiful beyond belief.

This symphony is my favorite in all of music. I can relate it to a lot on a personal level. Great performance!

This orchestra is so wonderful. One and done! No splicing, no re-doing. They do it right the first time, every time. Gruendlichkeit.

I see Orozco-Estrada is having the recognition he deserves.

Il primodirettore che applaude l 'orchestra.bravo

Großartig! Vielen Dank Ludwig v. Beethoven - und allen Interpreten!

Just when I think it can't get any better, there it is! wonderful performance.

Makes me feel like the world can be a pretty great place when I see and hear this wonderful performance! Good stuff!

Marvellous to use the old horns...sounds quite different. Excellent. The tempo is really perfect.

The Greatness and gracefulness of Beethoven’s music is profound and immeasurable and infinity

For many many years I listened to the Bohm interpretation as the ultimate one. It was slow but incredibly powerful. I couldn't find any that would come close. This has just surpassed it. The density, the richness, the absolute mastery in the minute creation of pure power, or might, or energy, is unbelievable. For the first time in my life classical music made me cry.

Why does Beethoven's music always make me wanna cry out tears of happiness amidst my anxiety...? Thank you, Beethoven, for giving us consolation by speaking out human beings' innermost feelings.

Is anyone wondering how the second movement is beautiful !!!!!!!!! Now i realize that Beethoven is the real transition from classical to romantic music .

I love the energy and elegance that has been put into the interpretation. I think that's part of what Beethoven wanted to capture with the symphony, especially the 1st movement!

My God. This orchestra managed to excel in this heroic. Congratulations to the musicians and the conductor.

I video della Sinfonieorhester sono i migliori. Finalmente possiamo seguire la musica in modo "sinfonico" passo passo dietro le formazioni orchestrali. Grazie

La música hace poesía pero sólo el corazón es poeta, gracias artistas del mundo, por alimentar nuestra alma con la música, como si fuera el pan nuestro y sagrado de cada día, con la música que no está para mostrar lo visible, sino para hacer visible lo que está más allá del mundo.

Me encanta Beethoven, me encanta esta versión de su Eroica, el director y la pasión con q el grupo de profesionales ejecutan esta gloriosa música. Gracias mil❤

Absolutely perfect. Congratulations to the HR FRANKFURT sinfonie and Andrés Orozco-Estrada.

It's the most superb version I ever heard. Perfect tempo, beautiful instrumentation, and fantastic counterpoints throughout each movement.

Beethoven's best symphny! That 2nd movement is simply unsurpassed in beauty and emotion and did not fail to give me the shivers listening to it again... My favourite of ALL symphonies ever composed.

Muchas gracias Maestro Orozco por las maravillosas sinfonías que nos ofrece. Mi admiración a usted y a toda su orquesta.

Simply brilliant. I love the way the dirigent applauds the orchestra.

Esecuzione magnifica.grande orchestra come il direttore.archi e legni perfetti.un grande applauso.

Wonderfully done. So cool to see natural horns as well. I've played this symphony, and I can tell you from the inside that it is nowhere near as easy as this band makes it seem!

This conductor is phenomenal.

Welche Freude dass es solche Orchester gibt.Meisterklasse !!!

According to some music critics, this is the greatest symphony ever written. I always thought 5, 7, and 9 were utterly fantastic, but I'm listening to this again with a new curiosity to determine what drove music critics to evaluate it higher than his other symphonies, especially#9. It indeed is a very pleasing musical production. Every time I hear Andrés Orozco-Estrada direct a symphony. I know it will be high quality. He certainly did not let me down with this wonderful performance. Thank you, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, for this wonderful performance.

Wunderschoen. Ich lebte einige Monate in Frankfurt und fuhr mit der U-Bahn immer an der Alte Oper Haltestelle vorbei. Wusste immer dass es dort wunderbare Musik gab, hatte aber nie die Zeit ein Konzert zu besuchen. Beethoven hat die Geschichte der Musik mit diesem Stueck veraendert. Tolle Darbietung, Andres!

Bravo! I love this orchestra and all its conductors, especially, Orozco-Estrada.

Awesome! Beethoven is divine! This symphony would be called “Bonaparte” if Napoleon hadn’t crownded himself as emperor…respect from 🇧🇷

The tempos are great, and I love how outrageously harsh the dissonances of the first movement sound in this performance.

Esse primeiro movimento muito me lembra o "Tour de Force" da 5ª Sinfonia em Dó Menor. Essa é a Sinfonia que Beethoven dedicou a Napoleão Bonaparte, mas quando soube que ele auto se havia coroado imperador ficou furioso e riscou a dedicatória de tal modo que rasgou a partitura original. É, sem dúvida, uma Sinfonia esplendorosa! A regência do maestro Andrés Orozco está sublime, inflamada de paixão e concentração absoluta à frente da orquestra, cujos músicos, por sinal, muito bem vestidos se mostaram dedicados a uma interpretação uníssona e à altura do gênio de Beethoven! À parte a apresentação da orquestra, um detalhe técnico me chamou a atenção: as tomadas de câmera foram perfeitas onde todos os músicos e instrumentos tiveram a sua relevância por igual, em ângulos onde toda a excelência da orquestra e sua magistral apresentação se fez presente. Meus parabéns!

Beethoven would have appreciated this performance of his favorite symphony (before he wrote his Fifth). Hats off to the French horn players using non-valve horns (Richard Strauss's father would have applauded for them, too). Bravo!

Love the style of the applause, to all the individuals - well deserved! Bravo, I'm going to listen to this again & again. And dance to it.

Desde hace tiempo sigo la trayectoria de Andrés Orozco-Estrada y no deja de asombrarme. Su grabación del Stabat Mater de Rossini era excepcional. La integral de las 9 sinfonías de Beethoven fue muy, muy buena, con el acierto de incluir a Carlo Colombara en la novena. Pero esta versión de la tercera es lo mejor del ciclo 2016. Una fuerza incontenible, sutilezas increíbles y un acierto en la velocidad del segundo movimiento, al que muchos directores imprimen una velocidad que desvirtúa el sentido. ¡Bravo maestro Orozco-Estrada!

Andres Orozco Estrada BRILLIANT.

Phantastische Performance von Dirigent und Orchester. Beethovens dritte sehr gefühlvoll und einfühlsam interpretiert. Ludwig hätte seine Freude daran gehabt. Ich war damals in der Alten Oper dabei und es ist immer wieder ein Genuss diese Aufzeichnung zu sehen und zu hören.

I first heard this when I was 13. I'm 73 now and it sounds as wonderful as the first time I ever heard it!

It is wonderful to see individual orchestra members up very close, almost impossible in the auditorium. In some ways it is better than being in the audience. I would pay for a subscription to online concerts,even after the philharmonic reopens

I've bought several LPs and CdDs of this, my favorite Beethoven, over the years. None is better and few are as good as this marvelous orchestra's playing here. Everyone involved in this orchestra onstage and off is wonderful. Bravissimi a tutti!

So oft ich kann, höre u. sehe ich mir die EROICA ab - nur diese, weil ein excellenter Dirigent das großartige Orchester führt!! Können und Passion - Beethoven freut sich bestimmt!

Extraordinaria dirección de Andres Orozco, antioqueño. Proximamente director de la Sinfónica de Viena. Aplausos

I return to this performance again and again! Simply amazing!

Best Eroica recording I have heard!! MAESTRO👏👏👏

Superb performance. Great to hear a well disciplined German orchestra play with great precision without the usual schmaltz and sloppiness.

難能可貴的演出。超級棒的指揮，演奏，無瑕的錄音！

Wonderful interpretation by Andrés Orozco Estrada!

I love this. This is the heart and the head and you can see every musician loving this.

Magnifique version toute en nuances : je redécouvre cette symphonie - que j'aimais - avec un ravissement nouveau. Merci!

This performance has left me speechless! Every movement and musical nuance was carefully planned and executed. The orchestra finds the soul of this piece and brings it to light. From start to finish it was a joy to watch this performance. Bravo tutti!

Wau! Que puedo decir, por más de cincuenta años he estado disfrutando las Sinfonias de Beethoven; para mi ha sido como mi alimento, para aumentar mi espiritu; Sus obras son un elogio a la humanidad y pertenecerá por tiempos inmemoriales hasta que el hombre pierda su carácter humanitario.

Wonderful ...a beautiful orchestra and heavenly music

The maestro and his orchestra play Beethoven like no one else! They are the best... and I like Manfred Honeck

Bravo 👏 Andres Orozco-Estrada

What a wonderful performance of Beethoven's 3rd!

wow großen Respekt! Diese traditionellen Blechblasinstrumente sind einfach phänomenal

In my opinion, Beethoven's second movement, 16:00 - 31:24, gives us an insight into his joy in playing and deep emotionality. At 23:30 starts pure euphoria for me.

Amazing sound, tempo, and conductor.

I love this orchestra and conductor! I loved how they all moved in sync at the height of grief @ 25:25. Could never get into watching Karajan for that reason; everyone still and in perfect formation. Our musicians must emote!!!

Andres brought up so many layers among the instruments that was not that obvious from other recordings. Indeed, Beethoven's complicated thoughts are more evident in this rendition. In a simple word, 'fire' is the essence of Beethoven's music. Andres took it to another level. Well done!!

Bravo Maestro! I have listened to this many, many times. This was superb!!! Every note perfect!!!

I already loved this symphony. The horns in this performance just stepped it up. Ach mein gott.

Great Maestro Andres!

This feeling of comfort is beyond compare, and far superior splendor

¡Maravilloso! Que hermosos sonidos.

When the pandemic is not over yet, this incredible performance brings consolation. The adagio is beyond perfection! HR FRANKFURT Sinfonie conducted by Orozco-Estrada is truly outstanding. Thank you, viel Danke. Muchas gracias!!

Excelente versión. Enérgica, joven pero a la vez, madura. Felicitaciones.

The confidence and sheer energy of the conductor’s opening is just beyond me. I knew I was in for a treat. Molto bravissimo 🎉

Thank you all of you. great play. Making my Sunday morning jubilant. Daegu, Korea.

I love Beethoven.

Quelle direction!! un ravissement des yeux et des oreilles!

i mean to say....this must be the greatest masterpiece ever written......and ever will be written.....until the next grand extinction

Hacía muchos años que no la escuchaba... Un grato reencuentro! Bravo Andres!

Wow. Just wow. This is perhaps the greatest rendition of one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Thank you.

I love this symphony. As a Beethoven lover, it’s in my top 3 Beethoven symphonies along with the ninth and fifth symphonies. As a pianist, I find it harder to play the piano transcription of this symphony than that of his fifth symphony. And as a composer, this is the piece that inspired me to compose symphonies. My first symphony that has been planned for several years now and is now being composed has a lot of inspiration from this symphony, from the general narrative of a hero battling against an enemy and coming out victorious to the presence of a funeral movement to the start of the introduction with fortissimo chords alternating with a bit of quiet melody. That said, one of the biggest differences is the time signature of the first movement. Beethoven uses a 3/4 time signature with hemiola passages that feel like 2/4. I just straight up use a 2/4 time signature and the first theme at least will definitely be a march.

incredibile sembra ispirata dal divino..grazie per questa meraviglia mi sono commossa

7:59 Best chord in music history

일요일 아침이 행복합니다. 모든 분들이 코로나(corona 19) 잘 극복하기 바랍니다. I'm happy now - sunday morning - by this music. I hope everyone overcme corona 19.

Beethoven at his best, executed expertly and with just the right tempi.
