Beethoven: Symphony No.3, "Eroica"; Jarvi, DKB 

Now THIS is what a modern day orchestra should sound like! Brings tears to my eyes.

This rendition really captures those amazing ideas and quick musical intellect that Beethoven had overflowing in his mind.

I cannot get enough of this video. The musicians in this orchestra play as if their lives depended on it. Just wonderful!

My favorite interpretation of the Eroica. Jarvi is just about the only conductor I've found on RU-vid who gives the piece the brisk tempi that I think are crucial in order to convey the energy and urgency of the piece. ESPECIALLY in the glorious third movement - I find I'm no longer satisfied unless the third movement is played at least this tempo. Absolutely phenomenal.

Great great maestro Jarvi! Wonderful orchestra!

I’ve never been able to decide if I like this more than Beethoven’s 6th or 7th and that’s okay because I have time to listen to all of them every day. I’m so glad.

The camera work on this video is gorgeous.

There is no one quite like Beethoven. He had a style that was all his own. A top composer! This is a great orchestra too! Thank you for sharing...

jarvi know every note, who is supposed to be playing that note, and looks directly at each and every musician as he conducts. that kind of attention to and respect for your musicians will produce a stellar performance almost every time.

Thank you so much for uploading these Beethoven symphonies, as directed by Jarvi, and performed by DKB! These are among the finest works of music ever written, and they are played wonderfully here. Un grand merci!

GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF EROICA I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. CAPTURED ALL OF THE ENERGY!

jarvi, always magnificent. very fast playing, very talented group. beautiful music.

No matter how many times you may have heard the Eroica, this one is like hearing (and seeing) it for the first time. Congratulations to all concerned!

Bellissimo! Interpretazione stupenda; andamento più celere rispetto a tutte le altre interpretazioni che conosco e un senso dell'agogica e un gusto nell'esporre le frasi superlativo. Eccezionale maestro. Tra le migliori se non la migliore interpretazione che io abbia mai sentito.

That touch of "Quartet" in the Finale is very awesome

Beethoven+ Jarvi+ DKB = Soulgasm

The coda to the first movement is heaven, especially the cellos and basses towards the end.

Crazy good interpretation obviously. Might even be the best. But the production values of the video itself is also very impressive. I don't think I've ever seen a symphony shot on film this well. Perfect (and musically informed) close-ups. Just enough conductor shots. Incredible work.

The best beethoven cycle and the best eroica, from Jarvi and DKB

Beautiful tempo. Not dragging like many other versions.Thank you!

Wonderful violoncellist at 38:20 and on :D Great perfomance as well, beautiful ideas from Jaarvi.

The march and march-like parts are the best in this conduction. Well done horn gentlemen. Great!

Such a majestic ending to this Symphony. I trust you are now composing for the Angels, wherever you are.

It is my favorite❤️I love beethoven!

My favorite Beethoven symphony! Genius masterpiece! I think, It's final - 4 part is the most nice work for orchestra!)) I like exactly this performance! Very good interpretation!

Photography really focused upon what's going on inside the musicians and Jarvi rather than their fingerings... intriguing, I like this approach

Bitte sehr. Dies Musik ist sehr spannend und interessant. Ich liebe das Musik von Beethoven.

Beethoven the best

How it must be difficult to rethink and refresh the 200-year old Holy Graal of classical music. But Mr. Jarvi did it! I hear vastness of intellect in every phrase. Some decisions may sound even too alternative but overall it is a master's touch. Simply splendid.

39 people declared themselves emperor and Beethoven tore up his dedication of this song to them.

Yeah, it's fantastic. Never heard it like that before.

I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it so beautiful

I often get emotionally overwhelmed by the intensity of the development section. It is almost like Beethoven captured God holding man accountable and thus pointing out the incredible suffering of humanity by the hands of mankind and demanding an answer.

This symphony was first performed in Vienna around 1804 in a small room in front of noble dignitaries. Joseph Haydn heard about the casual premier of this symphony and arrived just as the 4th movement was beginning. He knew right away that Beethovan's style was different and unique. He didn't necessarily like it and actually called it "quite noisy", but he knew that the time had come for change and evolution of orchestral music and he accepted it. He stated that "from this day forward, marks a new beginning".

Bravo!

When it comes to Beethoven symphony, Paavo Jarvi is the best

The first and second movements are excellent.

I love Paavo Jarvi

It's really wonderful.

Jarvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Beethoven himself would be proud

The story of Beethoven tearing up the dedication to Napoleon Bonaparte in a rage upon learning that he had crowned himself Emperor may well be apocryphal, but it is clear that Beethoven never forgave Napoleon for doing it; though a more astute political observer might have noted that the French state over which the latter had presided for the previous five years was a republic in name only. Beethoven wouldn't have been the first or last man to have turned a blind eye to a supposed hero's failings until they could no longer be ignored. I've long imagined that the funeral march in the second movement was for Napoleon himself.

The best I've heard. Amazing.

Happy 250th, Maestro!

I love the string quartet in the 4th movement!

Absolutely magnificent! The tempi is exactly where it should be. The Chailly recording is similar and also excellent.

alati hea Pavo Järvi!

Intensive artistic feeling comunicates high-end intellectual power

Beethoven Symphony's No. 3, "Eroica" is beautiful. The instruments were skillfully played and the conductor was quite passionate. I didn't think that I would like Beethoven, but I was impressed. It is very relaxing and delightful. Bravo Beethoven!

Amazing!

It is great to live in time of the Jarvis family on Earth

Brilliant!

Simply great! Remembers me of Carlos Kleiber style!

Danke! ;-)

Bravooooooooo

buena ejecución, el director hizo buen contraste entre lo rápido del 1 mov. y lo lento del 2º., claridad del trío de cornos en el 3ª mov. Buena orquesta. Gracias por compartir este vídeo.

Great …. Powerful, heartfelt performance …. MUY BIEN ¡¡¡¡¡¡

After 37:09 and till 37:54 - unreal magnificent and nice theme of this masterpiece!) But of course, all symphony is miracle!

I love concerts on video! This is up there with the Ninth Symphony from Berlin conducted by Bernstein right after the wall fell.

Yes, yes, yes! Been looking hard for a video featuring the horn-call in the third movement so I can use it for a lecture on the instruments on the orchestra, and this, only this, has the daring energy and excitement and joy that I have been craving! Anything less feels like an offense to Beethoven's music.

i can hear the eq compressing, its kinda like love how most people hide their true feelings long enough to create a facade.

Final of Marcia Funebre really killed me.

Beautiful!

all time greatest symphony~!!!

45.33 PERFECT FOR ME

Es ist ein Vergnügen hautnah dabei zu sein, Die Bremer gehören für mich zu den besten Orchestern Deutschlands, wobei Paavo Järvi einen großen Anteil daran hat.

Excelente

Clarinetists and bassoonists - especial super masters at this orchestra!)

Nice performance. The leaner orchestra fits the piece.

I love the emphasis by the conductor/ Tonmeister on the Contrabass section - unusual on other versions.

Splendid.

What we do and what we think is right here.... OMG

This conductor conducts with his chii, among other things. 👌

8:03 ... holy moly, that's heavy

The louder drum beating at the part that starts from about 21:50 feels fantastic and I wish they were even louder at least as alternative rendition.

38:25 - 39:05 this passage will always be my favourite

Hallelujah

-28:54 - is 3d part "Scherzo". -34:26 - is final part.

Difficult to believe this came from a human mind !

I really like his interpretation, the second movement was a little to fast for my taste, but i love how he modernized the trumpet line a bit that really stuck out to me.

Beethoven's favorite until the Ninth.

Al director Paavo Jarvi le vi en los videos de música clásica en un avión de Lufhansa de Pekin a Franfurt ,dirigia la Novena de Beetowen......no se la pierdan.Aire fresco ,ni mejor ni peor, otra cosa , creo que fué lo mejor de mi viaje a China.

going to the IV movement like a boss B-]

Victor Muñoz Brillante version de Jarvi no la conocia, sus tonalidades y sus cambios de ritmo agigantan la figura del mas grande compositor de todos los tiempos Beethoven.

If I listen to all the other great conductors, in this part of Beethoven he is the greatest

1st movement Tempo is perfect for me. it's not too fast!! beginning tempo is exactly 60.

Nice to see complete pieces on the Tube by the DKB rather than the Berlin Phil charging alot to watch on their website

No doubt his best symphony

Jarvi does this symphony like no other and his version is superior

Excelente orquesta y magistralmente conducida por el maestro Jarvi , solo tengo una inconformidad por la forma del manejo de las cámaras en estos vídeos ya que los cambios tan rápidos que hacen al enfocar cada sección resultan incómodos para disfrutar visualmente de la orquesta, me parece que sería mejor dedicarle algunos segundos más a cada sección instrumental o hacer tomas donde se apreciarán más de una sección a la vez en lugar de hacer movimientos tan rápidos que no nos permite deleitarnos de la gran ejecución de los músicos.

fun little detail. I just watched Last Action Hero again and in the scene where Jack Slater's second cousin dies the main motif of the funeral march is quoted in the score

Magnífica orquestra de Bremen, brillant director Paavo, inigualable compositor, la tercera simfonia ens porta certament l'heroisme. Ara a l'heroisme d'Ucraïna!

4th movement starts at 34:26

Excelente interpretación de uno de los grandes genios de la música clásica como Beethoven, vi al maestro Paavo Jarvi en el canal de cultura 30 en México y quede maravillado con la fuerza y sentimiento que fue interpretada los sinfonías del maestro Beethoven, ojala en México hubiera mas cultura en lo popular de esta música tan bella e histrionica que nos trasporta a los mas sórdidos sentimientos.

まさに疾風迅雷！ こんな「英雄」聴いたことない！。でもこのヤルヴィのアタックに大いなる拍手を送りたい。ブラボ！ヤルヴィ。

❤

人類愛なるものを感じる瞬間があるとするならば、それはベートーベンを聴いている時に他ならない。バッハという耽美的拘泥からの偉大なる脱却である。

Completely agree. This is still a very good performance, but it lacks the intensity of the earlier version (which I implore people to listen to!). In that recording, the music and musicians gain a life of their own, something impossible to describe but completely overwhelming. Made my hair stand on end. I think Jarvi and the DKB have become more legato in their playing, and seem to use more rubato - perhaps that is part of why this performance is less thrilling.

There's a place toward the end of the first movement where Beethoven cycles quickly through a couple key changes... I'm guessing it's not a metaphor for changing channels on a TV or trying different settings on some other appliance, but can't shake the feeling that it's a metaphor/musical joke that would have been recognized as...something, by someone in Beethoven's day. Can anyone speak to this?

Al igual que Carlos Klaiber, Paavo Järvi, era hijo de otro buen conducctor de orquesta y desde bebé, habían visto y oido sinfonías y música seria de todas clases desde la cuna. Este director, es simplemente uno de los mejores.

This interpretation is more perfect, is better developed that the of Japan.
