A great all around performance with tempi that enhance the work's intended forward movement. A standard repertoire piece of any great orchestra, the Gewandhaus does not disappoint. Most impressive in my mind is the nuanced choral music, which along with awesome camera work result in a towering video among several others available to You Tube aficionados. An American at heart, Alan Gilbert is rightfully at home in Europe.
This is my third favorite, second is sir gibert levines 2000 in poland and first is 1998 nagano olympics opening ceremonty seji okawa, sr if name is very incorrect, but these are my favortie.
Musicians conductor are awesome Video people help us see who is making what sound when... Tones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes. Ludwig van Beethoven Thanks
I screamed at 57:59 Beethoven is who we would call today a bad mofo Holly smokes I believe this the way Beethoven intended for this to be played LOUD and FEROCIOUS
The quality of the performance and of the videography is marvelous.
And I love the timpani player.

The conductor is not on home turf in Leipzig and shows quality with a particular combination of impulse and restraint.
Great.....but why is the first movement was fast?
it's like the clockwork orange thing.
Beethoven’s marking was still faster.
Who are the soloists?
@2:39
I had no idea Oskar Freysinger played the trumpet.
