Beethoven | Symphony no. 8 | Netherlands Chamber Orchestra 

No conductor. So the whole orchestra - everyone - must immerse in the music. Such a gem performance!

A blisteringly vigorous and meticulous performance of this comparatively neglected of Beethoven's symphonies. I had tears in my eyes (of joy) at the end. I was feeling a bit down today, but I now feel buoyed up!

Commenting from his chair, this man is brilliant. Music personified.

Great music performed by an exceptional orchestra. There is a God after all.

Bravissimo! So soft the beginning, but so emotional and surprising the last mvmnt. You can't play Beethoven, he has to be "musiziert"! You did it. Greeting from Bonn ;-)

De nachtmerrie van Maestro, een orkest dat een Beethovensymfonie prima zonder dirigent kan spelen... ;-)

people doing applause between movements 😂😂👍 Bravo for Orchestra !! The best i ever heard !

Bravo! (especially the development section of the first movement - breathtaking)

Awesome, symphony, passion, and practice. Great Atmosphere :)

Superb accuracy, energy and fire!

Ein mir bislang ganz unbekanntes Orchester. Doch dies ist die leidenschaftlichste und beste Interpretation der Achten, die ich je gehört habe. (Ein besonderes Bravo für den ersten Geiger, der wohl auch eine Dirigentenfunktion inne hat.) In den Gesichtern der Musiker spiegelt sich immer wieder die Freude an dem, was sie da musizieren. - Warum hat diese Interpretation nicht mehr Aufrufe?

Oui l'interprétation est superbe.

Symphonies numbers 8

Fun and lively. I have to admit, however, I prefer the "big' sound of say the Berlin Philharmonic.
