Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 - Eroica - BBC Proms 

I am physically disabled after a long 40 year career taking care of others as a RN. But my mind is active and I am so addicted to these Beethoven symphonies by the West East Divan. I feel like I know each musician bc I watch at least one or two per day. They rejuvenate my spirit! Thanks to all who were involved in bringing this GOLDEN Blessing to people like me.

My introduction to western classical music was with Eroica at the age of 17, now 61 Still eroica rulez! Every single note etched in memory, one of the most moving piece of music which moves you to tears of joy and liberation of mind!

4th movement of this symphony is preposterously grand. Amazing composition.

Magnificent, I don't know what else to say. Greetings from this old Scotsman.

The "Eroica", the 3rd symphony is beautiful! It is, by far, my favorite symphony by Beethoven. The 2nd movement (Funeral March), displays Beethoven's genuis.

A wonderful performance. The horns at the end are real heroes. I've never heard anyone even try the end at that blistering tempo, much less totally nail it. I remember the first time I listened to this performance, when I heard them take that string "cadenza" right before the finale at the same tempo as at the beginning of the movement, I thought, "Oh my God..." I mean, I pretty much knew what the logical next step was, but it was just so unthinkable that I was still shocked when it actually happened. By the end, I was just bawling my eyes out. I still cry and get shivers up my spine every time I listen. Well done and God bless you all.

This was always my most loved of Beethoven symphonies, Transcendental haunting sublimely intense

Serious wars brewing, and AI, machine learning- technology a wonderful thing to bring this to all on mother earth Lets all keep in mind that music is the true and only language that joins as all As all represent Gods magnificent creation- Mankind and humanity

Around 49.00 he has your heart in his hand. Glorious music. Then he says, “Fooled you, we’re going out on my terms.” Bang. Hits you in the face on the way out. I’ve run out of words. ‘Genius’ no longer does the job. Perhaps ‘one of the few necessary people in history.’

It’s pretty good for me to understand Beethoven’s classic in a way of Barenboim it’s soaring spirit greatly impresses me!

This is one of my fave live performances.

Beethoven and all Classical music is for everyone. This kind of music is concerned about the internal not the external. It's about meaning not substance. What it's about is less important than what it's doing to you. I discovered Beethoven (or did he discover me?) at the age of 13. I'm now 63. Even though I know every note -- it's still fresh every time! I love a heck of a lot of Classical music but when I come back to Beethoven I feel that I'm in the presence of someone who really "got" it. He really did touch the ineffable, that which is beyond. Even sticking a label on it is meaningless. Any attachment of the divine is ridiculous because his communion was with something beyond that. His music was more truly human than any music has or ever will be. To call Beethoven a genius is not enough.

Master piece!

Deux géants : Beethoven et Barenboïm !

You know it’s RU-vid when a WayFair ad comes up in the middle of a symphony.

beautiful

45:19 is where the Classical Era ends. Honestly the next few minutes wouldn't sound out of place in a modern movie soundtrack, that's how groundbreaking this was.

This is a very nice rendition of a beautiful work.....so moving .

Mui bonito gracias

Goosebumps ‼️‼️‼️

magnífico..y en parte dramático, es cientamente, un poema musical...que durará porsiempre.

Another thing there were rules in composing music like it was considered rude to have accents in a piece so Beethoven adding a bunch of accents in a row is back ly him flipping them off and rebelling showing that he will not be constricted by their rules .

Greatest rock piece I’ve ever heard. Absolute buzz. Take your time to do the whole thing.

This was amazing!!

this is truly mesmerizing

Just wonderful! I love Beethoven looking down on the orchestra from on high!

This was originally name Napoleon but after Napoleon crowned himself emperor Beethoven changed the name. Beethoven hated monarchy and emperors which is why he was so upset that he changed the name.

I enjoy so much watching, listening Daniel B. with his West Eastern Divan Orchestra, and I too seem to know each of the individual members, and for several years have watched them develop into a very talented working team, powerful and sublime. It is truly a Joy watching them...God Bless...Rev. W.

Beautiful! The woodwinds are a lively group: love their enthusiasm!

Baremboim es uno de los últimos grandes de la batuta del estilo de Klemperer, Bohm, Solti o Furwangler.

Yes,WOLFGANG IS WONDERFUL PERFECTION, but BEETHOVEN IS THUNDERING EMOTION...BOTH ARE GREAT!

remarkable performance so far💙

1→0:20 2→16:20 3→33:00 4→38:51

Note to sound recorder: you do a wonderful job, but you could always pull the faders down in between movements. That way, we would not have to listen to the coughs.

Barenboim conducted - brilliantly - the Mozart Da Ponte operas with the Berlin Phil. This was his second cycle, appearing on Erato. He seems to make Mozart's music lush and symphonic, a bit heavy and a little slowed down for emphasis in places. Here the orchestra has that same full, round and luscious sound. Wonderful musicians and musical project. "Barenboim is always saying his project is not political. But one of the really great things is that this is a political statement by both sides. It is more important not for people like myself, but for people to see that it is possible to sit down with Arab people and play. The orchestra is a human laboratory that can express to the whole world how to cope with the other." (a young EW Divan musician - wikipedia)

Yes, I have looked for the complete 4th too...

Starts at 0:22.

♥️👏

Una terza diretta in un modo insolito, mai sentito prima tanto generosità di timpani, però mi piace. Mi piace pensare che Ludwig la volesse diretta proprio così.

Great pianist, wonderful conductor Barenboim !

0:49 When Seinfeld ended, Elaine must have taken up the clarinet!

Why are classical musicians so underpaid? Its outrageous. Most can barely struggle to pay rent and bills, yet they are professionals. They have to 'make ends meet' by providing private tuition.

Zertifizierter intergalaktische!

14:57 Double bass army!! 🎻😉

Very enjoyable, thanks. This symphony was one that established the heroic horn sound with a controversial (at the time) third horn. So why are there 4 horns at 44:41? What's the fourth one doing that the other three can't manage? They are big (loud) modern horns, too, so it's not that they weren't producing enough sound. Delighted to be playing this (I'm on horn 3, a great part) with Highland Chamber Orchestra, Scotland, on 27 and 28 May 2023.

With Beethoven it s all transitions. The space between. Vive la difference. More: arcseyler

Premiered #otd in 1805 💐💐💐

What do you think he’s telling this orchestra in between the first and second?

Vive l'empereur 🇨🇵⚜️🇨🇵⚜️

These performances were also released by the BBC on dvd!

Wasn't there another video from this performance? Was it deleted?

Something screwy happens around 5:05. Anybody else get this?

Thank you for putting this on RU-vid. BTW, where is the 4th?

Wonderful performance. However, fortunately, the orchestra knows the score better than Maestro does. ;)

So slow…

Ok performance....but nothing really special...of course it was from the true son of God, LVB, so its hard to screw it up.

Este director tiene un estilo aburrido...
