Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic (1977) 00:00 Adagio molto - Allegro con brio 10:17 Larghetto 20:17 Scherzo: Allegro 23:57 Allegro molto
cause the 9th symphony is more like a resume of all his previous works and beyond you can hear his entire life made music in that great work. ninth symphony is one of the most awesome pieces ever written!!
taken separately from his later music, this is in its own right the purest expression of Beethoven at the time. a key to the later works, not merely a stepping stone.
This is music that touches us deeply due to its sensitivity and strength. The glorious and admiring way in which Beethoven composes cannot leave anyone indifferent, as it has the particularity of, through his music, bringing the human feeling to the surface, how intimate it may be. The orchestra is remarkable with an amazing direction. It is a recording, considered by me, one of the best I have heard so far. Bravissimo!!!
To me, his most Mozartian symphony; not that it sounds like Mozart, except in certain turnings of phrase. It just seems to have the character of a late Mozart symphony.
Symphonies No. 2, and No. 3 are my favorites of Beethoven. No. 3 for its obvious Beethoven "character," innovations, and profound beauty. But No. 2, is sweet, playful, youthful, fun, and romantic. To be honest, for pure enjoyment, No. 2 is my favorite.
@@finden3362 yes, I do... 🙂 To me, this symphony has a slight "flavor" of Italian comic opera, especially the last movement. The second movement is so sweet and warm. I sometimes say Beethoven is like two separate composers. Another atypical Beethoven piece is his Spring Sonata for violin.
I love Beethoven's underrated symphonies...I am listening closely, more aware than with the 5th and 9th...So , today while driving to work, something baffled me: The Scherzo starts with this 16bar motive, repeated once. Formally, the score then indicates a new section. However, in the first four bars of that new section (20:37), Beethoven does not present a new motive, but reiterates the melodic rhythm of the first one. Then, in bar 5, where it says fortepiano (fp) the new motive is introduced....on the second beat of the bar!! I call that very very cheeky. Maybe somebody with a a more profound knowledge in music can confirm or contradict to what I found out.
Skips along at a very pleasant pace and a joy to listen to. What a composer and with his hearing difficulties demonstrated a true commitment to his music.
no expert (tho' I love these youtube offerings that let me try to follow the score as a piece is being played) but I've loved Beethoven's work for 50years in large part becuz he tastes, at least to me, so humorously cheeky! with all his other accolades I think of him as the first jazz master and a much more coy kindred predecessor to Victor Borge and amen to what you said about his underrated symphonies
Beethoven brought about the change in music from the earlier music to later music. He was a pioneer composer. I love his music. He composed music with feeling. I'm a tuba player, and while the tuba was a later brass instrument in music history, I love music of all kinds. Even when trombone and tuba weren't used in music, the music can still sound full and complete.
Die Werbung ist an unmöglichen Stellen platziert. Abgesehen davon: Großartig, vielen Dank! (Abgesehen davon, dass ich im Gegensatz zu der Aufnahme ein Freund der nahezu ausgestorbenen Tradition bin, auch die Wiederholungen aufzuführen.)
Thank you so much for displaying the score to this piece. I have heard the 2nd symphony many times, but seeing the score makes it come alive. I'm subscribing and hoping there will be many more like this. Incredible.
Oh boy Beethoven. That was a cool thing you did at 2:00 I wonder if you'll ever being it back... you know, short time role... like a cameo.... Beethoven: A cameo you say? How about I just make it an integral part of the opening of my greatest symphony
Mark Leneker in my ears neither the first or second symphonies are Mozartean. They're classical style, and certainly classical in form, and inspiration, but they're pure Beethoven, not Mozart--know the difference.
Closer to Haydn than Mozart, although flashes of Mozart at times (sometimes they seem put-on). But even when I say more like Haydn, it's more that Beethoven's compositional style (motivic manipulation) resembles Haydn's, not so much that it sounds like Haydn. (For a symphony that DOES sound very Haydn-ish, listen to Schubert's Fifth. The orchestration is quite different, though, as are his development sections, but probably the closest "copy" I can think of.)
Maestro_T Schubert's Fifth is a miraculous creation. All of Schubert's early symphonies (1-6) are classically inspired, moreso than any of Beethoven's. But of that group only the 5th seems purely Schubertian: it's natural and lyrical throughout; it's early Schubert, now in form and structure it's highly classically inspired and influenced by Haydn, but its lyricism is pure Schubert.
También deudora del clasicismo con más ɓrio en el primer movimiento, y osadías armónicas en el tercero como el acorde de f # mayor en la tonalidad de tónica. 😢 ❤ 😮
He's the guy who composed that funny answering message you used to hear in those 1980s commercials. You know, the one that goes, "Nobody's home! Nobody's home!" to the tune of the Fifth Symphony.
To that great list of Beethoven's symphonies 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, in fact 1 and 2 must be included. The first one from the beginning already brings us what will be the great symphonic work of Ludwig with that dissonant beginning and different from the other classics. The second is an advance to the Eroica, totally happy, it does not give respite, it was already innovating with that festivity and that was almost romanticism.
A bunch of obnoxious comments below about some stupid character/game, but I guess we should be thankful young people decided to search for this. P.S. If you liked it, you should explore his other symphonies. They get even better (except number 1).
@@wodzimierzwosimieta2758 Nothing is really "wrong" with it, but it's the weakest of the nine by far. I find the second much better, and then the later ones are of course amazing. I would even say the first is a lot weaker than most of his early piano sonatas.
it's not stupid, it's from a thing called SCP Foundation, known as the place of good, bad and mediocre horror writing pieces. and it is great that they for some reason got inspired by this to write in that particular genre, for it really brought people here.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Yes, you are correct, thank you for responding! I checked the CD info when another user asked the same question but forgot about this older comment.
Jamison Sanchez Karajan, my wayward son! These 1977 Beethoven recordings w/ the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra are the best ever! Beethoven (even classically inspired Beethoven, like this symphony) can't be excelled.
Already in his first symphony, at the very beginning of it, Beethoven did something with notes that raised quite a few eyebrows (among critics, at least). It is in C major, but the very first notes are E together with B flat! :-D Beethoven was most innovative and well ahead of his time :D
Beginning with C Dominant Chord (I mean not starting with C, but it is indeed C Dominant), G, B-Flat, C, E, then F Major with the lowest note that is A! He is truly a composer and ahead of his time! :D
3:45 5:13-6:10 9:00-10:15 (basically the entire dang coda) (also, 9:00 uses diminution, and 9:22 is badass) 12:59-13:40 18:54-19:33 (same thing but in dominant key) 20:37-20:51 22:11 (jokes lmao) 24:18-24:35 24:40- 25:08 (especially 24:54) 25:45 Clever use of material. 25:51 too. Both motifs are from 23:56 27:11- 27:37 29:01-30:08 (basically the entire coda again lol)
The end of 1st movement sounds very triumphant. Interestingly, I hear a timpani roll at the last measure while I don't see any roll notations in the score.
It's notable that transition passage in the exposition, and the recapitulation of the first movement is nearly a copy of analogous passages in the first movement of the Waldstein Sonata opus 53.
