The Beethoven's Overtures are masterpieces: Egmont, Corolian, Leonora. Really great.
I love this piece because it is so emotional. The overture belongs to the opera Fidelio which is about a political prisoner who is rescued by his wife Leonore. Like your reaction!
This is my favorite Leonore/Fidelio overture!
Time to react to the Choral Fantasy of Beethoven 😉😀😀
Speaking of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, there's a very interesting documentary about the story behind it with interviews between Barenboim and his friend Edward Said (who studied piano under Ignaz Tiegerman - one of Ignaz Friedman's greatest pupils and a student of Leschetizky, no less!). Barenboim started the orchestra with the intention of bringing together people from different backgrounds and uniting them through music.
This is actually a big deal. The orchestra is formed equally from israeli and palestinian musicians and is intended as a project to bring the two peoples to peace. And Edward Said was just one of the most important philosophers who ever lived (imho).
Beethoven agonized about what to use as the overture to his opera, Fidelio. I think he wrote four overtures (Leonora 1, 2 and 3, and Fidelio). Ultimately he used Fidelio. He also agonized about what to include and leave out of the opera. An absolutely wonderful duet that he ultimately left out is "Um in der Ehe froh zu leben" which is at ruclips.net/video/IH3sQxm7E_I/видео.html
Just to clarify this: Leonore was the title Beethoven wanted to use for the opera, but the producers eventually insisted on changing the title to Fidelio because there were already two operas titled Leonora composed in the previous few years. The discarded overtures ended up getting the original title to distinguish them from the final version of the overture.
Leonore 3 is the one most performed in orchestral concerts today. Beethoven discarded it because he believed he overwrote it, making it too long to use as an opera overture and giving away too much of the musical material from the opera. But the same issues that made it poorly suited to be the introduction to an opera also make it well suited for concert performance.
A piece that I think you will love is Bach's Mass in B minor. It's quite long but split into many short chunks that are very different, so it's very watchable. Plus it's choral, which you seem to like. Highly recommended!
Try Consecration of the House, Beethoven at his best
Could you react to “Daphnis et Chloe suite no.2 by Maurice Ravel”? It’s an incredibly beautiful piece I think you’ll love it!
Please react to the Grosse Fugue, which is a string quartet by Beethoven. You will like it!
Up. I like this interpretation ruclips.net/video/13ygvpIg-S0/видео.html
Many consider it the finale to the strong quartet no13 op130 which is what it was written for. It wasn't really written as a separate piece, which is why it starts as it does.
Try the 6th Symphony. Also, maybe some 4 hands piano soon such as Schubert: Fantasie in f Moll, D 940. Other ideas: Richard's Strauss 4 last lieders with Jessye Norman, Mozart's clarinet concerto or some Brahms.
But not a 6th at an annoying slow pace. The first movement is meant to move not wallow.😊
You should listen to Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances
Barenboim has a special idea about the tempo of Beethoven's music. That is beyond my understanding, but all I can say is that I don't recognize Beethoven's music that I knew and liked.
I would have liked to better enjoy your reaction to one of my favorite overtures, but it had no subtitles. Greetings from Guatemala City in Central America.
Leonore is an operatic drama, perfect for Beethoven's dynamic fiery style. The narrative of triumph after struggle is a theme throughout all of Beethoven's work. I recommend Consecration of the House overture.
Is it a full on opera?
@@manacht2727 As opposed to what?
@@thethikboy as opposed to an ouverture that dont have an opera, 1812 for example.
@@manacht2727 It's one of many that were meant to precede his opera Fidelio. "Beethoven spent more time writing the overture to Fidelio than Rossini and Donizetti spent on entire operas, overture included." So there is an intentional opera, although it can stand alone, which is a problem apparently. The dramatic content of the music reflects that of the opera.
Wellington's Victory man!! The muskets are a musical instrument. Beethoven wrote them in...was a hit with the masses immediately give it a try
It does have its moments though. It is like a movie soundtrack 200 years before John Williams. Beethoven having fun
I've heard many performances of the Leonora #3 and the introduction (and other parts) of this one is by far the slowest!
It's a similar interpretation to Karajan's.
@mauryq2150 That's funny. I have two Deutsche Grammophon recordings of the same piece with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic produced in 1966 and 1993, but having a Bachelor's in Music makes me cloth eared, obviously!
I don't think you've listened to Beethoven's Coriolan Overture yet. That's another good one.
You should definitely listen to some Berlioz eventually. There are certain respects in which he has the best claim to being Beethoven's successor.
I've mentioned Berlioz to Gidi a couple of times, but unsuccesfully, lol.
He listened to Coriolan in one of the live streams.
Why on these channels, is there so much Beethoven conducted by Barenboim, in my opinion one of the least sympathetic interpreters of his music
