Beethoven: Symphony No.2 in D, Op.36 Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen Paavo Jarvi, dir. 0:01 I. Adagio molto - Allegro con brio 11:40 II. Larghetto 21:47 III. Scherzo: Allegro 25:43 IV. Allegro molto
The Symphony No. 2 has increasingly become my favorite Beethoven symphony., so uplifting and brilliant. many nuances, dynamics, signature melodic intervals., I simply Love it~! Thanks very much for this rendition it is very well received~! Being a French Horn player I would love to suggest Mozart Fourth Horn Concerto with Dennis Brain soloist~! God is Good it's only some people who suck.
Totally agree. Jarvi brings Beethoven to its brightest standard. IMHO this version of the 2nd is much better than others around in RU-vid. In fact, I didn't know that I liked the 2nd so much until I heard Jarvi and the Kammerphilharmonie.
Bravo Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie! This is by far my favorite performance of this piece! Now I can't wait to check out the rest of the entire Beethoven cycle performed by them with Jarvi. Amazing.
The best performance of this symphony ever! I hate it when people say this symphony is boring, you’re wrong because the last movement is the most fun movement of anything that was written before this.
I think he was. The only contemporary of his that I can think of with comparable intellect was Thomas Jefferson. Too bad the two men never met, as I think they would have had a lot to talk about.
@@johnries5593 it's interesting what You write, so Beethoven was a revolutionary, an innovator, He was also active in politics at the time, but what do You mean by that?
A lot conductors look stern or dictatorial when they're on the podium. Otherwise, if you're going to profile Jarvi on appearance, you might start by remembering that he's from Estonia.
@@lovettboston Thanks for pointing Msr. Jarvi is from Estonia. I don't quite understand why the post mentioned Putin unless it was a joke. I rather observe the conductor as a fairly light hearted person. Not too many conductors convey their desires in addressing the musicians through facial sympathetic gestures as Master Jarvi has done. My observation.
Acredito ser umas das sinfonias mais expressivas de Beethoven, onde o desprezo, a ironia, a raiva, a revolta e a conformação se faz presente em um único lugar.
I particularly like the Scherzo, third movement. I know nothing about this type of music, but Jarvi seems to want it played with a lighter touch than other versions I have heard. Sounds good to my ears though!
Absolutely fantastic..a minimalist conductor who lets the orchestra do what they do best...And to Zac..we Germans and Austrians have an extreme love of music, but are fatally flawed..as are all humans.
I think it's easier to say that everyone usually perform just the 9th, 7th, 5th, 3rd and 6th, completely forgetting about the rest (and that's a shame, because those are at least as brilliant as those "huge" ones..). It's a blessing though, that thanks to conductors like maestro Järvi we can still experience those ignored symphonies at live concerts.
A few years ago, I found a video of street musicians doing the first of the second on a street in Italy. About 20 musicians at the most, and they nailed it. This is Beethoven's funnest symphony.
Superb performance. As others have said the camera work is outstanding and so is the audience - no clapping between movements, no coughing or dropping stuff during the quiet bits, in fact you'd hardly know they were there until the end. I'd go so far as to say that Paavo Järvi has become a finer conductor than his father. He has inherited Neemi's technical brilliance and command of the orchestra but without his tendency to drive the music too hard and play loud and fast for its own sake.
Not too thrilled by that userid. But I like the performance. IMO, it's tough to play Beethoven too fast. You can play his music all solemn and slow and majestic, but it's better if you let the joy out.
Crappy camera work! Like they didn't pay any attention to the structure of the composition at all, like they never heard it, and just pointed the cameras around and switched shots at random, without any regard to the music, without any consultation with the conductor, without any planning beforehand, seeming to say "look at the tight closeup we can get on this... oh, wait, look at THIS". If you don't know what you're doing, just point the camera at the conductor and sit down.
Klassische und zugleich jugendliche Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Sinfonie mit perfekter Synchronisierung aller Instrumente. Ausgezeichnetes Kammerorchester!
The recorded Beethoven offered here is some of the best we’ve heard in a long time: rhythmic, propulsive, and organically musical from start to finish… …but the orchestra’s stagily choreographed performance style is best left omitted. Listen to it with your eyes closed and you will understand what I mean.
Origins of music unevidenced. Except it is gift to humanity from God the Creator. Music continues in heaven. Discontinues in hell. Jesus Christ died and resurrected for remissions of everybody's pre-existing sins to save from eternal hell. Penalty of sin already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Be saved from eternal hell. For free.
I love his take on all the movements but the third in particular. I’m used to hearing it faster but somehow his speed helped bring out the cheeky like contrasts and surprises if that makes sense. Idk it just struck me more what that movement is all about, ha
Care este legătura între reclama pentru burgeri și simfonia lui Beethoven??? Noaptea minții. Băgați reclame înainte de concert sau după terminarea simfoniei. O simfonie nu este muzică de petrecere !
I find it annoying that at the first symphony 3rd movement he conducts it with observing all the repeats i.e. : aabb-ccdd-aabb where a and b are the two parts of the menuet and c and d are the two parts of the trio. Here, although the structure is same he dispenses with the repeat of the b after the trio i.e.: aabb-ccdd-aab. Why? I truly enjoy the musicianship though and will go on with the cycle. Thanks for the upload(s).
I assume because he thinks in a Scherzo the structure in the dacapo is different. It's a common misconception. 95% of musicians seem to think that in a dacapo you play without repeat. But if that were so self evident then why does Beethoven indicate in two of his sonata scherzi "Da capo senza repetizione"? My answer to that is that the normal case is that you have to play the repeats in a dacapo, and since everybody in Beethoven's time knew that it was not worth mentioning. He mentions the opposite case because it goes against the usual procedure.
A esa gran lista de las sinfonías 3, 5, 6, 7 y 9 de Beethoven, de hecho deben incluirse la 1 y la 2. La primera desde el inicio ya nos depara lo que será la gran obra sinfónica de Ludwig con ese comienzo disonante y distinto a los demás clásicos. La segunda es un anticipo a la Eroica, totalmente alegre, no da respiro, ya innovaba con esa festividad, y eso ya era casi romanticismo.
Sam Jay, I get it; you don't like this but there is no comparison between Beethoven and Bieber except that they are both male. What a silly comparison to make!
Just found this. There's Biber (Heinrich Ignaz Franz) and there's Bieber (Justin). Classic FM's infographic compares the facts: www.classicfm.com/composers/biber/guides/biber-vs-bieber/
This is a very good rendition, for me better than Karajan's with Berlin Philharmonic. But i believe that all 7 Beethoven's symphonies composed later are much better than this work. Symphonies 1 and 2 aren't in the same league as 3, 9, 5, 7, or 6.
