Beethoven: 9 Symphonies /ORR ˇ Gardiner -

Beethoven: 9 Symphonies /ORR ˇ Gardiner -

Sir John Eliot Gardiner's period-instrument orchestra is well named, for in some of the ... more

most recorded repertoire of all time he
revolutionises our conception of how these titanic
works should sound. Of course it has to be said
that Gardiner is not the first to bring period
instrument practice to Beethoven: Roy Goodman with
the Hanover Band and Roger Norrington with the
London Classical Players, to name but two, had
already trodden similar ground. Yet Gardiner's
exhilarating accounts emerge as the finest. To
begin with, he has the immaculate ORER at his
disposal, who consistently produce flawless and
enticing playing in all departments. Then, he
elects fastidiously to follow Beethoven's
invariably speedy metronome markings and
exposition repeats to the letter. The results are
never less than intriguing and, more often than
not, compelling, especially as Gardiner also seems
to have each movement of each symphony sharply
mapped out in terms of timbre, dynamic and
direction in relation to the whole. In their own
ways all nine Symphonies can be heartily
recommended, with a blazing and bold Eroica, an
exquisitely shaded Pastoral, a majestic Seventh
and an expansive yet dramatic Choral especially
fine. But, in Gardiner's hands, even a work like
the classical Second emerges as fresh and
innovative. This lavish set, immaculately
recorded, can unquestionably hold its own with the
best--period instrument or otherwise. --Duncan
Hadfield

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7, 8, 9 -

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7, 8, 9 -

This is a valuable reissue in the Deutsche Grammophon Originals series, containing the ... more

first domestic appearance on compact disc for the
eighth and ninth symphonies in Rafael Kubelik's
globe-trotting Beethoven cycle from the mid-1970s
(nine symphonies, nine different orchestras).
Eagle-eyed collectors will have doubtless already
snapped up the glowing Vienna PO seventh when it
resurfaced a few years ago on the super-budget
Belart label coupled with Kubelik's imposing
Boston SO account of the fifth. Here it precedes
an admirably lithe, yet beamingly affectionate
reading of the eighth with the Cleveland
Orchestra--a performance whose unforced musicality
and twinkling wit will have you grinning with
pleasure from first measure to last. Better still
is the "Choral", recorded on Kubelik's home patch
with his exemplary Bavarian Radio forces in the
sublime acoustic of Munich's Herkulessaal. This
is, not to beat about the bush, a truly great
ninth, evincing a profound humanity, authority and
wisdom distilled from a lifetime's experience on
the podium. After a marvellously unforced, cogent
account of the first movement, Kubelik brings a
distinctive, delectably rustic spring to the
scherzo. The heavenly slow movement is a miracle
of flowing grace and tender intimacy, while the
finale welds all the necessary lump-in-the-throat
universality to a joyous sense of occasion. Vivid
with beautifully balanced sound throughout (with
Kubelik's antiphonally divided fiddles always
exceptionally well captured), this is a most
desirable Beethoven twofer.--Andrew Achenbach

Beethoven's symphonies: the rediscovered frontier

Advantages: A new way to hear Beethoven
Disadvantages: Surpassed by some later period cycles

INTRODUCTION Beethoven's nine symphonies cover one of the major cornerstones of symphonic literature along with the likes of Haydn, Brahms and Sibelius. Beethoven was born in turbulent times when the common people's dissatisfaction toward the ruling monarchs in Europe was reaching new heights which finally culminated in the French Revolution in 1789. Against this came Beethoven, who was born into a family of musicians in Bonn in 1770. His father wanted to coin in on the child prodigy market created by Mozart whose father had exploited his genius in a similar way. But Beethoven was no Mozart. He wasn't born a child progidy and his performing skills were nowhere near as natural as they were with Mozart. Still he made rapid progress as a piano virtuoso and an amateur composer. He was even supposed to take some lessons with Mozart in Wien ...

Review of Beethoven Symphonies 1-9 (London Classical Players) - Sir Roger Norrington

Beethoven's music as he should have heard it.

Advantages: Outstanding music on period instruments
Disadvantages: Swaping C.D'S in music player.

The 9 symphonies by Ludwig Van Beethoven. (1770 - 1827) Performed by The London Classical Players. Conducted by Sir Roger Norrington. With the Schutz choir of London. Not everybody likes classical music. Even those who do, do not all like the same things. This boxed set of CD's if different from previous recordings. Firstly, it is played on period instruments. This is not to everybody?s taste. These instruments are not like today?s instruments. For instance, the violin has a cleaner but more plaintive tone. The woodwinds each has a colour and clarity of tone that blends to a harmonious whole. The timpani, those smaller drums, are hit with hard sticks more reminiscent of military drum sounds. The horn section has a different feel to it. Considering the lapse of some 184 years, it would be strange if the sounds ...

Review of Beethoven Symphonies 1-9 (London Classical Players) - Sir Roger Norrington

Choral Symphony

Advantages: Choral Symphony
Disadvantages: Nothing

On the first time, The Nineth Symphony of Beethoven is kwoning like "Choral Symphony" because in the foursth and the last movement it is singing by a Tenor, Baritone, Soprano and Messo Soprano Voices with a Choral Voices that they are singing in another way the "joy song". This symphony (the last one) of Beethoven was released the May 7th of 1821 when he was a deaf person, so he never could listen his composition years at 3 or 4 years after Beethoven died. So it was his last composition, been for me the best compousers. In the first movement of this Symphony "Allegro ma non troppo" begining with the introduction of wind instrument like oboe and the violas and violin continues the music and then continues with this music specially the wind instrument with a hard musical notes that it is characteristic of this 15 minutes music. In ...
