    I am physically disabled after a long 40 year career taking care of others as a RN. But my mind is active and I am so addicted to these Beethoven symphonies by the West East Divan. I feel like I know each musician bc I watch at least one or two per day. They rejuvenate my spirit! Thanks to all who were involved in bringing this GOLDEN Blessing to people like me.

    My introduction to western classical music was with Eroica at the age of 17, now 61 Still eroica rulez! Every single note etched in memory, one of the most moving piece of music which moves you to tears of joy and liberation of mind!

      @ntgin62: Coincidence on the starting age and first hearing,! Small difference in our ages though, since I am 92 now. An eye-opening Youth Concert was followed by my first visit to a music theater. That night I was not tired, the music was all but soporific, but it just happened. It was oppresively warm inside, but that is only a mitigating circumstance, not an excuse for the closing of my eyelids. In vain, I changed my position. The timpany of Beethoven’s Third Symphony called me back to the hall.
      Impossible to listen to that gem without feeling the shame of that incident, no matter how short it had lasted. Of course, it has not repeated itself. My apology was been generously acceptijd by the composer, whom I didn’t know yet, and who became my favorite in no time.

    A wonderful performance. The horns at the end are real heroes. I've never heard anyone even try the end at that blistering tempo, much less totally nail it.
    I remember the first time I listened to this performance, when I heard them take that string "cadenza" right before the finale at the same tempo as at the beginning of the movement, I thought, "Oh my God..."
    I mean, I pretty much knew what the logical next step was, but it was just so unthinkable that I was still shocked when it actually happened. By the end, I was just bawling my eyes out.
    I still cry and get shivers up my spine every time I listen. Well done and God bless you all.

    Beethoven and all Classical music is for everyone.
    This kind of music is concerned about the internal not the external.
    It's about meaning not substance.
    What it's about is less important than what it's doing to you.
    I discovered Beethoven (or did he discover me?) at the age of 13. I'm now 63.
    Even though I know every note -- it's still fresh every time!
    I love a heck of a lot of Classical music but when I come back to Beethoven I feel that I'm in the presence of someone who really "got" it. He really did touch the ineffable, that which is beyond. Even sticking a label on it is meaningless. Any attachment of the divine is ridiculous because his communion was with something beyond that.
    His music was more truly human than any music has or ever will be.
    To call Beethoven a genius is not enough.

      Thank you for your kind words. My first experience of Beethoven was hearing the 5th Symphony emanating from a record shop. It was the Summer of 1970. I think the shop doors were open. In those days there were sound proofed listening booths in some record shops. I remember going in and asking about the music. They beckoned me to the booth and put the record on for me to listen from the beginning. I think it was Eugen Jochum conducting. When I walked out of the shop I had bought it.
      If I die quietly I want to be played out listening to Beethoven. If that is how I go then I expect I shall die with a smile on my face. For me, personally, I can't think of a better exit.

      The Classical era ended with the death of Mozart in 1791, the retirement of Haydn in about 1802, and the deaths of other composers essentially of the second half of the 18th century like CPE Bach, Paisiello, Cimarosa, Boccherini, and a string of others (even if they lived on into the new century).
      Beethoven, Rossini, Hummel, Cherubini and a number of others initiated a new ‘post-Classical age, a term I use as they are clearly not Romantic composers in the sense that Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Liszt may be so described.

    Barenboim conducted - brilliantly - the Mozart Da Ponte operas with the Berlin Phil. This was his second cycle, appearing on Erato. He seems to make Mozart's music lush and symphonic, a bit heavy and a little slowed down for emphasis in places. Here the orchestra has that same full, round and luscious sound. Wonderful musicians and musical project.
    "Barenboim is always saying his project is not political. But one of the really great things is that this is a political statement by both sides. It is more important not for people like myself, but for people to see that it is possible to sit down with Arab people and play. The orchestra is a human laboratory that can express to the whole world how to cope with the other." (a young EW Divan musician - wikipedia)

    Very enjoyable, thanks. This symphony was one that established the heroic horn sound with a controversial (at the time) third horn. So why are there 4 horns at 44:41? What's the fourth one doing that the other three can't manage? They are big (loud) modern horns, too, so it's not that they weren't producing enough sound. Delighted to be playing this (I'm on horn 3, a great part) with Highland Chamber Orchestra, Scotland, on 27 and 28 May 2023.

    Wonderful performance. However, fortunately, the orchestra knows the score better than Maestro does. ;)

    Ok performance....but nothing really special...of course it was from the true son of God, LVB, so its hard to screw it up.
