Love the pacing of the beginning. So many conductors really milk it and drag it out and it gets heavy but he keeps it energetic without losing the drama.
one of the first albums i bought,as a high school kid ....56 yrs ago , and it STILL brings tears and that thickness in the throat...never did get to perform it , now too late....this symphony is the apex , to me , of euro-culture . i despair in my old age that the message has not been heard oh Ludvig !
kcaj mortsnnew Your affection for this particular symphony is admirable. Its great to know that you still get moved by listening to it even today after so many years. But please don't be upset that ludwig's message wasn't heard. It has been in so many ways both in letter and spirit. What's happening in the world with all the fighting is awful but it's always good to know that powerful reminders of brotherhood like this masterpiece are still taken seriously and are relevant even today. Please don't despair as there's still hope left in this world. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Ik word altijd week van de 9e. Nu nog meer omdat het een thuiswedstrijd is en deze prachtige mensen met deze uitvoering mij trots maken op onze cultuur.
Thank you for sharing this splendid version of the ninth symphony. The performers do a great job, the Dutch public is as quiet and polite as ever, the picture and sound are excellent ... but the room, I love the Concertgebouw, gives a sonority that makes the result unmatched. I highly recommend to those who have the possibility to approach Amsterdam, to attend any of the numerous concerts that are scheduled in the Concertgebouw and live the experience.
voor mij is de uitvoering met maris jansons de mooiste die ik in mijn leven heb gehoord ,maar ook die met bernhard haitink.maar deze simfonie is o zo mooiiii
I've never could listen to the 9th from the begining till the end and tried a lot of versions. But this one I listened repeatedly for several times already.
Excelente interpretación de La 9na Sinfónia de Beethoven, siempre es una delicia escuchar y ver diferentes formas e interpretaciones de una maravillosa obra. Bravo maestro!!!
Although ideosyncratic and personal at times, this interpretation by Maestro Stenz of Beethoven's Ninth is exciting and a welcome addition to the long list of performances extant. Great ensemble work by the orchestra, soloists, and chorus as well as excellent camera work make this RU-vid clip special in many ways.
Agree that it is somewhat fast. Great to see everything in such beautiful clarity. Excellent solo and choral singing. As always, thank you for the video.
Spannende Aufführung dieses ewigen Meisterwerks mit perfekt synchronisierten Töne aller Instrumente und gut kontrollierten Stimmen aller Sänger im relativ schnellen Tempo. Der Dirigent ist echt genial!
Coincido con otros comentaristas en que el “tempo” del maestro Stenz es un poco rápido para mi gusto, sobre todo en el tercer movimiento, pero en su conjunto la obra es magistral, una excelente orquesta, magníficos solistas y coro. ¡Gracias a Avrotros por traernos estas oportunidades a nuestro alcance en México con tanta rapidez!
Although I am a huge fan of Beethoven, the 9th typically isn't my favorite of his symphonies. However, this performance was excellent and helped me appreciate the work in new ways.
Was great to be in the Concertgebouw during this amazing concert... To bad some moron forgot to switch of his/her cellphone, but other then that it was a memorable morning... The conductor, orchestra, chorus and soloïsts where absolutely phenomenal... Personally I like the first three movements a bit slower, but I wouldn't have want to missed it. Still enjoying it! Compliments for the registration. Both audio and video quality are outstanding!
