For anyone reading this comment, I hope you have a wonderful day today! Relax, you deserve a break! You can do anything you put your mind to! I wish you the best!!
Jordi Savall is an absolute legend. I've seen him live in Seattle many times with his small ensembles. This performance is stunning. Adding to the effect is hearing this on a new set of wired headphones that allowed me to hear sections of the orchestra I usually only hear in the concert hall. Wonderful!
Wonderful performance, but if you now have a proper set of headphones, I have to say that Andres Orosco-Estrada's renditions of all Beethoven stuff (and much else) with the Frankfurt Orchestra is recorded and forwarded with such incomparably better audio quality - as does Paavo Jarvi's work, and Klaus's work on the 9th at least with the Oslo Philharmonic. I'd love to have this video with super hi-fi audio, but it's really rather muddy and blurry for such an important song.
Thank you everyone who was playing this and specially to RU-vid and this channel that makes it possible to listen to this incredibly amazing masterpiece
Try Andres Orosco-Estrada, Klaus with the Oslo Philharmonic (I can never spell his last name), or Paavo Jarvi - all of these are done just as well (if not better) but the audio quality is just beyond compare, and for this piece clarity of all the music is mandatory IMHO.
Not content in making an excellent interpretation, Savall's style of conducting is wonderful: he uses a baton and a score, has very precise movements and does not shake his whole body during the finale just to "look cool".
Ustes esta oyendo y viendo la Sinfonía Numero 9 en Re Menor Opus 125 de L.V. Beethoven. Ejecutada on instrumentos de la época, LO MAS PROXIMO AL SONORIDAD QUE SE PUDO OIR EL DIA DE SU ESTRENO. Ese es el valor de esta interpretación. NO ES POCA COSA.
I have several collection versions of BEETHOVEN'S Symphony No. 9, and I feel that every conductor has his or her own unique interpretations of performance. I am so grateful that I am listening to different versions of the 9th Symphony, finding BEETHOVEN'S exciting differences in each interpretation, not unwilling or strange to hear! Therefore, that's the reason to love BEETHOVEN and all the SYMPHONY works of his!
L'Adagio Molto est formidablement interprété , l'émotion a été transmise, presque palpable. C 'est fou comment d'un orchestre a un autre la beauté d'une musique peut être appréciée à tel point qu'on a l'impression de découvrir , d'écouter cette Symphony No. 9 comme si c'était la première fois .
Aunque Jordi Savall es un gran musicólogo e investigador de la música antigua y medieval, todo lo que hace lo hace bien. Este es un cabal ejemplo: alguien que hace de la música la razón de vivir. Fuerte aplauso
Klare und saubere Aufführung dieser ewigen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente sowie herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten und gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und fast himmlisch. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockorchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
I just heard the studio version released recently together with symphonies 6, 7 and 8 and I'm at a loss for words, this is a gigantic contribution to the canon of the best recorded performances of Beethoven's symphonies - of all, not just the ones with period instruments. So fresh, so enjoyable, so alive and so well recorded!
Meraviglia! Circa 20 anni fa feci una lunga intervista a Savall, pubblicata su una rivista musicale che non esiste più da molto tempo. Circa 10 anni fa ebbi l'onore di avere il maestro Savall tra il pubblico in un mio concerto. Memories...
I love this symphony. I listen to it at least once a month. This is the first time I've heard the first movement at 148 bpm. It's refreshing and exhilarating.
I have never heard the tempos better--the tenor's "march" in B-flat major hewing much better to Beethoven's intended dotted half note = 84 (instead of Beethoven's nephew Karl getting it wrong with a dotted quarter note = 84)--and with so many other excellent tempos, particularly the vivid ending! It all just fits better. Mr. Savall conducts a bit like very late Mahler: not with a lot of motion, but with such superb and extraordinary results.
Soy fanático de esta música!😁 saludos.. desde Argentina🇦🇷 disfruto mucho despues de estudiar 2 ingenierias y 2 cursos y hacerme cargo de un trabajo para ahorrar para mi viaje a alemania. Espero tener suerte, aunque si la suerte fuera tan buena como ésta sinfónica 🎶 será la mejor.
Another beautiful special performance for my collection. Thanks to Jordi and all the Musicians that keep those lovely original instruments playing. A truly beautiful Jewel.
One of the best concerts at all, perfect choir, perfect violins, Jordi Savall is just amazing. Thank you for uploading this kind of masterpiece! Bravo!
Jordi has an impressive musical sense. His performances are always stunning. He is perfectly capable to become audible some reaggeton plays. Obviously it's mandatory enjoying this performance!!!❤❤❤
De verdad que exquisites de interpretación. Siempre el corno es difícil... Y es hasta gracioso cuando el mtro ejecutante pierde el tiempo y un violinista, desaprueba... Sin embargo es maravilloso y con instrumentos de época... Esos primeros compases son la gloria en sonido. Gracias por compartir. QUE LUJO DE CORO... LUJO DE SOLISTAS... AMAZING DIRECTOR¡¡¡!!!! CONTRAFAGOT APLAUSO EN PIE
It is fascinating to listen to Savell's orchestra performing the 9th with the original musical instruments. LvB created an elixir melody for the soul. Kudos for a superb performance to VOX VONA Chamber choir of Kreuzkirche Bonn, Le Concert des Nations orchestra and conductor Jordi Savall.
Beautiful! Highly expressive and lyrical approach to the music-the finale in particular came off exceedingly well, no shrillness from the voices, no histrionics, just a stirring conclusion. Savall had the performance well in hand.
Perdón si digo una barbaridad, pero siento esta versión un poco acelerada. Ciertamente no queda entre mis favoritas, con todo y el gran cariño y admiración que le profeso al Maestro Savall.
Manuel Walser - baritone ~ I absolutely fainted dead away when this extraordinarily soloist began his part. This man has a voice to send shivers up and down your spine - and his looks are spellbinding. All the soloists were superb, and though I am not a big fan of "original instruments" this orchestra was tremendous. Jordi Savall is in charge of the whole performance, and as usual, is calm and collected to the nth degree! Beethoven will be around long after all of we have left this miserable world.
Magnifica La Novena sinfonia de Ludwig van Beethoven, dirigida por Jordi Savall y la orquesta Le Concert des Nations. Me ha conmovido esta sobria interpretación, autentica y diferente interpretación ...Gracias.
love it! love the interesting timbres of the instruments. the stopped horn-sounds and weird contrabassoon! everything about this performance is so beautiful.
The orchestral sound is great. I especially love the growl of the contrabassoon! But I may be too accustomed to earlier Romantic performances to appreciate some of these tempos. The Adagio especially left me a little cold; I'm used to a much slower tempo there. Still, the other three movements make up for it. I really like the quickstep tempo in the Alla Marcia, with the honking contrabassoon.
Una magnífica interpretación que con instrumentos antiguos pone de manifiesto la gran calidad de la orquesta y su gran director. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir!
I listened to this track many times while studying or working on schoolwork. It was amazing and I loved it. Now, I listen to it occasionally and it's still epic and amazing, despite the number of times I've listened to the entire track. Definitely recommend as study music.
Esta es la interpretación más hermosa, majestuosa en su ágil transparencia, que transmite toda la belleza de la música a través de la sublime orquesta y su director. Muchas gracias por regalarnos esta joya de la interpretación musical.
Maravillosa interpretación, impresionante abrumadora. Se me saltaron las lágrimas en varias ocasiones. Los músicos geniales como disfrutan y gozan con gran confiabilidad entre ellos. Jordi Savall un gran descubrimiento. Venía escuchándolo este último año y por fin me decido a verlo en acción. He leído por aquí en estos comentarios, su formación trayectoria y estoy emocionado con él, sobretodo por la velocidad de interpretación que le da a Beethoven: velocidad. Como realmente debería ser, así lo quiso Ludwing. Un fuerte abrazo HERMANOS.
Why do the chorals sound so amazing? Like. Unnaturally beautiful, almost different from any other rendition, not that the others are bad. These just sound. I'm not even sure how to describe it. Gorgeous work
Sabía que ésta sinfonía que tanto he escuchado y con distintas versiones, tendría un aire fresco cuando la escuchara con Jordi Savall. Qué bueno que hizo éste proyecto, tenía (debía) estar en la literatura musical.
Non trovo nulla di travolgente, o interessante... Il maestro nel suo ambiente e un benchmark.... Ci ha già provato harnencourt, Gould (lui ha portato il gouldianismo). Non sono amante di questi tentativi...
Aggiungo.. ho abbandonato l'idea del HiFi tantissimissimu anni fa.. lo sto ascoltando dal mio telefonino che taglia tutte le frequenze al di sotto dei 600 hz e tutto quello superiori ai 7000 hz... Ma.. ma sto ascoltando Beethoven!
A pesar de todo, no me gusta mucho la interpretación. Me parece que está un poco acelerado y se nota más en el tercer movimiento ( el tercero es mi favorito) y los violines cómo que les faltao un poco más de afinacion o eran. Tan viejos que ya suenan mal?
My first experience with Classical music was when I was in 5th grade my music teacher took us on a Class Field trip to see a live Orchestra playing in person I had no idea what they were playing I was just a kid!! Now 2023 I'm 29 years old now know all the great Composers!! I felt bad that the Orchestra's stopped playing due to the Coronavirus pandemic 3 years ago in March 13, 2020 when the World Shutdown!!!!
Thank you! I'm really in need of uplifting anything, and this was perfect. I've sung this probably 15 times, and every conductor brings something new. Excellent soloists, choir, and so fun to hear period instruments!
A big Klemperer fan here: Yeap, it's played rather fast and sometimes loud and rarely kind of blurred/lacking articulation. BUT, and this is a pretty huge but. 9th is about transferring Emotions. 9th should make you cry, if you are still breathing. This version with its aggresivity conveys fury, despair and tears, not tranquility. And it is very good so. So, LvB would be and is honoured by this interpretation. Also clear that the 1st movement is exceptional, superb sound, balance, sonority, counterpoint. 2nd is rather hastened for my taste. 3rd lacks kind of colour. Now, 4th, a quite difficult call, LvB made it not easy here for any interpreter. Chor and voices, esp. Bass, are superb, diamond clarity. I also esp. like the dance like approach in alla marcia, before and at "wie ein Held zum Siegen". Now, percussion in 4th mov. should be more intense, it's kind of defused. All in all, a fresh, emotional, consequent to itself approach.
They use 432hz tune, not the common 440-445hz we’re used to listen to. That’s because 432hz was reconized as the most natural and harmonic tune, both Beethoven and Mozart preferred composing in lower tune.
Solo hay que mirar la cara de los músicos, se lo pasan pipa, por que les gusta lo que hacen, El sr.Savall, es un genio. Se me h puesto la carne de gallina. Suena muy bien. Los instrumentos originales es un acierto. Me lo he asado muy bien.
Danke, dass Sie die seelenbewegendste und spirituell erhebendste Musik gepostet haben, die je komponiert wurde. Eine sehr energische und kraftvolle Wiedergabe von Beethovens feinster Inspiration.
