Beethoven - Symphony No. 2 (Proms 2012) 

Actually Beethoven was just beginning to lose his hearing at the time he wrote this and didn't really hard of hearing until much later. But the imagination needed - even with perfect ears - to create this work is unimaginable.

@@hartmanthehornplayer7343 he definitely became deaf because of big meatball

I've not heard of anyone clapping between movements except in military band concerts, and then it is usually discouraged.

Usually I find clapping between movements annoying, but this point of view is very wholesome and makes me more understanding.

it's a joke of a tradition... it ruins the whole industry imo. Only a select few emotions that some pieces make deserve to not be interrupted

Most of the audience at a BBC Prom will have attanded many concerts probably a good number of them in each season. Of course they know the 'etiquette'

That's why Beethoven created the Piano-Forte concept. To not let people sleep in the concert after they drunk so much. Nobody was really interested in music until Beethoven. People was a the concert house only cose "social life". Very much like nowdays.

thx

you're doing the Lord's work

Thank you

Merci.

A 'podium' is what one stands on (from Latin "pes, pedis," foot). The conductor is indeed standing on a podium. What he does not use is a lectern, the stand on which a score would be placed, if he used one.

Super Übermensch plus speaks at least six languages.....a true genius.

@@teacoffee42 To be fair, I believe Barenboim has photographic memory.

@@rhettjaramillo5034 So had Toscanini, Karajan, Gieseking and a lot of others. And some have perfect pitch and some don't. Not a guarantee that You are a great musician. But some are. Among them Barenboim :-)

​@@christianspillemose4074 I was just making a point that he has an easier time conducting from memory because he has to put less effort into actually memorizing the score.

Eric?

@Juany lol :v

Eric?

I fully agree with you! Well said!

Who even says Classical Music is boring? Never heard such nonsense.

@@ultimateconstruction I have encountered people that have shared such opinions. I agree it's nonsense

I just love it! Barenboim is a genius ad the orchestra responded to him wonderfully.

#Attractiveness of live venue video, #orchestra, #music performance speed is the fastest. #Realism, #stage LED lighting, #video switcher camera split video, 1st movement 0:05 sec, video switcher camera split 0:09 sec, 0:29 sec, 0:43 sec, dozens of places, Stage LED illumination 10:31 seconds, 2nd movement 10:40 seconds, 3rd movement 21:46 seconds, 4th movement 25:26 seconds. I was very impressed with the nuanced articulations, including speed symbols, symbols that emphasize only one note, and symbols that strengthen or weaken only certain notes. Also, I was very impressed with the nuanced articulation of the orchestra's understanding of the conductor. Also, the image of the switcher for switching between multiple TV camera images is wonderful and I was impressed. Also, I was impressed by the camera splitting video of the musical instrument player of the switcher that can read the sheet music and the sheet music of the multiple TV camera image switching switcher. 🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊 Commenting.

@@theMad_Artist What, Suzy Klein the presenter?

SR. SCHUBERT, PORQUE USA O NOME RESPEITÁVEL DE SCHUBERT. É PARA ESCONDER SUA IGNORÂNCIA E INCOMPETÊNCIA PARA ANALISAR A GRANDE MÚSICA. DIZER QUE ESSA SINFONIA No. 2 É SUA FAVORITA, DEMONSTRA QUE O SR. NÃO CONHECE NADA SOBRE AS SINFONIAS DE BEETHOVEN.

03/11/24: A.J. Liebling's associates at the New York World "both did a lot to get the superfluous scrollwork out of my writing and make me 'pack things tight.' This does not mean foregoing the expression of any idea but finding a way to say it completely without dancing all over the place." --- So why not just say, "Beethoven's second symphony is my second favorite Beethoven symphony, after Eroica"?

@@donreed I cannot understand what you mean. I am not an English speaker. I am Asian. All Utube users are not English speakers. And my phone does not offer any translation service. So i cannot understand the first comment as well. It's not English . . . Please speak easily.

03/11/24: Not a problem. Nothing bad will happen if you can't read it. Life will go on normally. Take my word for it that the message is clean and constuctive. May I suggest that you find a translator? Believe it or not the language is relatively simple. Good luck! @@schubert5170

He was writing this symphony at the time he wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament.

@@johntravena119 and you can hear it... Beethoven was a true genius

Your statement could not be any more true. I can hear this 5 x in a day and get something out of it each time.

@@johntravena119 Exactly ! And it seems imho, that composing this magnificent symphony , with the royal D-major splendour and the two up-lifting and highly energetic main themes of the enthralling first movement , with the enchanting beauty of the "Larghetto" and its tender melody, with the grim humour of its "Scherzo" and with the sheer vigour, agressive dynamics, sharp contrasts and the rhythmic ecstasy of its final movement, was his way or even his personal cure to overcome his deep depression and desperation with even suicidal thoughts, that had befallen him, when he realized , that his hearing problems were obviously uncurable and would lead to progredient loss of his hearing until clinic deafness. So his second symphony is very special in this regard indeed .

Ayyy

RIP D Boi All Guards and scientists stand outside and watch him ded

All of you forgot Mic. Kirby. He is so loud he makes other things just explode.

I love that guy

It's a piece you trashbag

So much so he made it ear rape

Jerome: The moment you are talking about starts at 16:02 and ends at 16:48. I too have had tears experiencing this intensely sad musical lament.

Beethoven is the closest to God, indeed. I just wrote that in another video.

SR. CARLOS, PELO AMOR DE DEUS, NEM TUDO QUE BEETHOVEN ESCREVIA TINHA O TOQUE DO SEU GRANDE TALENTO. ESTA SINFONIA N0. 2 NÃO TEM NADA DE FANTÁSTICA E SIM CONTÉM MUITO FEIJÃO COM ARROZ E DESENVOLVIMENTO SEM IDÉIAS BRILHANTES. NÃO SE ENGANEM COM AQUILO QUE PARECE OURO MAS NÃO É.

Haydn liked Eroica, but apparently he felt as if it completely rewrote the symphony, making Haydn's early 10-minute symphonies obsolete. I think it was just evolution. Beethoven justified each note of the 3rd, and thank God, because it's sublime.

Beethoven had stomach issues and the open to the third movements is supposed to be farts and belches, I think that is what Hayden objected to.

Magnificent, incredible, great, otherworldly Bethoven. He reached there which is realistically impossible. Incredibly great mind, created what does not pass away. He identified himself with nature and this whole earthly world and this universe🤩👍💯🎶☀🌩🌦⚡🪐🌈🌌❤

Glad you picked out the wind players! Absolutely right!

What? Never heard such nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, 5th, 6th, 9th are great, but 2nd is my favorite - start to finish enjoyable in the hands of a skilled musician like Barenboim.
