Ds Sabata was a great musician, noble, colourfull, dynamic, poetic. Much better than many "sacred monsters" of that time. He did things with an orchestra that today one rarely sees.
Indeed, that's one of the sections in Beethoven's symphonies that's rarely pulled off flawlessly, this is one of the best versions I've ever heard, up there with Barbirolli's, Scherchen's and Leibowitz's (who was a pupil of de Sabata).
creo que a los mexicanos no les gusta beethoven pero aqui esta el primer comentario de uno. en pocas palabras fue grandisimo ese hombre por crear esas canciones ademas q las canciones de ahora solo duran 2:30 min. bueno se despide un mexicano q osa de musica grande
A great Orchestra.Today,it's Hard to find such a thing on the web.All I can hope for is for people to stop changing there ringtones, updating there myspace pages, and put down the credit card long enough to find joy in the simplest of things.But dont give up being modern,Integrate the old and New just as this person has.
theme, counter theme ,synthesis, then repeat on a new level, im not well educated in music,oddly enough this is the only beethoven i can follow the logic of the construction . the man was a giant
Peices don't have to be either Classical or Romantic... really they're just descriptions and subject to opinion. Most historians would consider Beethoven the most important figure to inspire Romantic style... he was a real "turning point"... not so much his peers. I wouldn't say he wrote anything that does not have at least some classical inspiration or "character".
Amazing quality of sound for something recorded over 50 years ago. This is Beethoven's more interesting symphonies. I hear it as a reflection on his deafness. Something strange creeping up, inconsistent sounds, fear, desperation, resignation, grace. Of all his symphonies, it is the least abstract to me. I see pictures in all his symphones, but this one seems to have a narrative.
@yenrabaraho Gosh! Or just having an incontrollable cold! I definitely think some people who think they have a great comprehension of art lack one of human day-to-day situations. I sense a lot of anger in you, besides a total lack of understanding of what both New Yorkers and Nazis are, if you just smash them into the same category. It's quite offensive, you know?
Sabata's paformance is very fantastic!
I want to listein to another his conducting!

The first note(s) just blow me away!
I find the main climax in the development section absolutely electric in this performance.
Wonderful!

Very good !!! ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ ♥♥♥
This being Victor de Sabata in the early fifties, it is apt to be Orchestra of La Scala, MIlan.
@Urepanny It is for you to see.
@yenrabaraho just listen to you!
@Flyboy4500 If they did it was covered well.
The narrative? What do you mean? Like a story that this symphony is telling?
@shaggybreeks He wasn't deaf,he probably had the most awfull case of Tinnitus in medical record.

it reminds me of Tom and Jerry
The first sixteenth-notes where'nt correct, they where played rather sloppy
@josepharchbold I call it bbc 2! also terrible in words
Beethoven wasn't black.
