Beethoven: Symphony No. 7, 3rd movement | Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen

"He tore his arms with a great vehemence asunder" and "jumped in the air." That's how the composer and violinist Louis Spohr, who was in the orchestra, described Ludwig van Beethoven as a conductor in 1813, leading the very first performance of his Symphony No. 7 in A Major, opus 92.
Paavo Järvi's antics at the podium may be less extreme, but he does convey great enthusiasm when leading the musicians of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. And so do they. "The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie has a sense of ownership unlike any other orchestra," said Järvi in an interview with DW. "It's their baby." That has everything to do with a unique business model: As the orchestra's shareholders, the instrumentalists literally own it, so they have a more than just an artistic stake in its results.
Enjoy more of Beethoven's Seventh right here. This third movement is marked "Presto - Assai meno presto." The somewhat confusing translation is: "very fast - rather less fast," but it simply points to the fact that the piece starts out vivaciously, then slows down a bit. But at whatever speed, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is a rhythmic fest of exuberant joy.
Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.

[@yasirsalim7765]

May be too “presto”?

[@NohSpinZone]

If you aren't fake conducting to this piece by the end of it, you're doing it wrong.

[@danielbec4287]

Too too fast

[@treeskates]

It’s Beethoven’s tempo. Most conductors today slow it down. I guess you’ll have to argue this point with Big B himself.

If it was all the same, it would be boring.
