Ludwig van Beethoven: Septett Es-Dur op. 20 

Vielen Dank, das freut uns sehr!

Thank you, that indeed is true, we were enjoying this opportunity to play a lot!

Thank you, we will pass it on to her.

Thank you, yes indeed, he is!

Thank for your kind words, we'd already seen so many low quality videos (technically wise) at that point that we wanted to make a difference. Glad to hear you like it.

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Beethoven was not happy that it was so succesful. He thought it to light and fluffy and not at all representative of what he really wanted to achieve.

@@Quotenwagnerianer But it' s such a PERFECt composition! Every note is in the right place,! Lots of imagination by the Great Master! And it's lovely! OC, The SQs , specially the late ones, are not from this world!!! BTW the famous String Trio OP.3 is a Masterpiece and ALSO absolutely lovely! (There are people that say that to compose a String Trio is a chalenge even greater than to compose a SQ, due to the difficulty of balancing a viol and cello vs a single violin. Nevertheless when it comes to supreme music SQs rule !)

It was only in the end of his life that Beethoven was annoyed by the success of his piece and talked rather contemptuous about it. At the beginning he was quite proud of it.

Didn't hate it enough -- published a version for piano trio. (Op. 38)

He had every reason to be proud, it’s an amazing piece. I love how German it sounds.

Is there anything extant that Beethoven created that one would would ever classify as “his worst”? In my estimation, the whole concept is wrong-headed. What I have determined in my years of experiencing Beethoven, in recordings, in live performances, in televised concerts, in solo recitals, including mine and those of far more accomplished professionals, among other opportunities I have had to experience the mind and heart of this genius, that there is no such thing as a “worst” composition of The master Ludwig van Beethoven. I do not claim a scholar’s knowledge of the entire body of this musical legacy, but the chamber music, the concerti, the piano and violin sonatas, the symphonies, his one opera in its many variations, and no doubt more, are such a delight and in their variety, so beautiful. If I had to claim my current two favorite works, one would be a late piano sonata, known as the “Hammerklavier,” and a late string quartet movement we now call the “Grosse Fuga.” Both are astonishing in their complexity and their chromaticism. In the great fugue, the tonalities explored in the movement presage sounds more commonly heard from 20th century musicians. Both works conclude with triumphal resolution that can only be described as the sound of pure joy and triumph of the human spirit. This septette seems to have much of the same spirit about it. This work at times has an orchestral quality except with individual instruments carrying the lyric line instead of entire sections performing the function. As such, one could perhaps think of this composition as an assemblage of concerti featuring miniature solo performances by each of the seven musicians. It could well be that all of Beethoven’s chamber works can all be thought of in this manner, but it does seem to me that this less than usual assemblage of virtuoso performers on the range of both wind and stringed instruments gives listeners the opportunity to enjoy concerto style solo performances by each musician functioning as soloists and with the ensemble as a whole playing a work that epitomizes true classical era music.

In that case I'm not going to be able to enjoy it now. But thank you. I want to know the truth.

Which equates to not that good.

you are right!

Obrigado!

We'd rather prefer the audience to playing for nobody but still it was a wonderful experience to do those videos.

@@bayerischekammerphilharmonie You didn’t play for nobody. But I know what you mean.

@@renzo6490 You're right, now we know we played for quite a lot of people but in that very time we were missing our audience quite a lot.

Grazie!

Vielen Dank für das Kompliment. Das mit der Werbung ist neu, anscheinend haben wir irgendeine Click-Marke überschritten und dann werden automatisch Werbungen eingeblendet, da haben wir nichts damit zu tun, das läuft alles über RU-vid.

Thank you very much for your kind words! 優しい言葉をありがとう

As you may have noticed the production was filmed in early 2021 when no concerts with public were aloud in Germany and the musicians on stage had to keep a distance from each other. Our approach was not to focus on that and to make the best of it, to show the viewer/listener a perspective he would never have had in a concert hall, to follow the melody jumping from one instrument to the other rather than showing to much of the akward distance between the musicians on stage.

That is the taste of the camera director.

🤣

A tad.

Thank you very much!

The first movement is a touch bland but the rest is a joy. The 2nd movement is lovely and the Variations are a treat!

Estamos muy de acuerdo!

We completely agree, but unfortunately can't help it.

Subscribed! Splendid work, and a lovely way to wake up on this Sunday morning. ​​⁠ I won’t leave, but is there anything that can be done about the number of ads? They are obnoxious. Greetings from Clinton, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸!

@@davejacques4226 sorry, we can't do anything about it, please complain to RU-vid! But they will only try to sell their RU-vid Music thing.

We don't really know, but we rather like the idea of dressing in a festive way that doesn't distract from the music and so we agreed on black.

Sorry, but we can't do anything about it, please complain to RU-vid.

I've tried to write this comment three times now and the app keeps shutting down! 😂 They want you to pay for RU-vid music. All the RU-vid stuff is owned by Google. I stopped paying for RU-vid music service because it didn't work properly on my phone. Probably my phone's fault, right? Except my phone is an android model, so the OS is also made by Google. You'd think they'd at least design their apps to operate correctly on their own OS, right? We live in a rentier economy. If you want anything nice, you gotta subscribe and pay rents on it. And if that service is crappy, well, you either subscribe to a more expensive service, buy more expensive equipment or BOTH. We'll probably see total societal collapse before we see the defeat of the rents system. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't be mad about that, be as mad as you want. But somebody is gonna figure out how to charge rent on that anger too, just watch.

RU-vid decides the placing of the ads.

RU-vid premium is only $15 a month or so - no ads whatsoever. I'm not connected with them financially, but I swear it's an absolute godsend! But it's worth it for me because I listen to 4 - 10 hrs daily 😊

😉The rules were not made by us, we were all happy to be able to play at all back then.

@@bayerischekammerphilharmonie 'Wir heben es nicht gewußt'

​@@bayerischekammerphilharmonieyou were just following orders.

@@josaricardo Befehl ist Befehl.

😂

@camilorojas 1744 Then close your eyes! Her movements reveal the way in which she 'feels' the phrase she's playing, and how it fits into the ensemble. I find that enlightening, and my experience is always enriched by it. Musicians are not automatons.

She is not dancing around. She moves her body to get the best of the music expressed, bringing out a melodic line, a legato, a rising melodic line, and so forth. I find her playing particularly affecting and her movements, it seems to me, are an integral component of the melodic, emotional aspects of the clarinet part of this septette. Amazing work, so expertly played.

Just think about you and your rubber friend in the bathroom, and your will understand...

I find your comment very offensive, get a life listen to music and let others play in the style they prefer…. Criticona 😡

​@@OSDALO63 You are free to be very offended. And the OP is free to express his opinion. I don't agree with it either, but so what? Would you argue with a fellow diner who said he found the soup too spicy? Get over yourself. You could simply have said that you didn't find it distracting at all; but no, you had strike back and scold. Like I am doing to you. How do you like it?
