Actually Beethoven was just beginning to lose his hearing at the time he wrote this and didn't really hard of hearing until much later. But the imagination needed - even with perfect ears - to create this work is unimaginable.
1st Movement Adagio molto -- Allegro con brio: 0:00 2nd Movement Larghetto: 10:40 3rd Movement Scherzo: Allegro: 21:47 4th Movement Allegro molto: 25:26
The idea of not clapping between movements is relatively new. It was not uncommon to not only applaud but to demand an encore of a particularly brilliant movement. This true of Mozart through Mahler symphonies in Europe. As a conductor, of over 40 years experience, I remember when I was young I hated when people applauded between mvmts. Then I reached a conclusion that has stayed with me. It occurred to me that those who were clapping had never gone to a symphonic concert before, did not know the "etiquette" and clapped because they like what they were hearing for the first time. I realized how wonderful that was and ever since I have loved it whenever I conduct,
That's why Beethoven created the Piano-Forte concept. To not let people sleep in the concert after they drunk so much. Nobody was really interested in music until Beethoven. People was a the concert house only cose "social life". Very much like nowdays.
The genius of Beethoven's music is such that every time you listen to it again, it's as if you hear it for the first time. Sincere thanks to the performers and the musician who was going deaf.
@@johntravena119 Exactly ! And it seems imho, that composing this magnificent symphony , with the royal D-major splendour and the two up-lifting and highly energetic main themes of the enthralling first movement , with the enchanting beauty of the "Larghetto" and its tender melody, with the grim humour of its "Scherzo" and with the sheer vigour, agressive dynamics, sharp contrasts and the rhythmic ecstasy of its final movement, was his way or even his personal cure to overcome his deep depression and desperation with even suicidal thoughts, that had befallen him, when he realized , that his hearing problems were obviously uncurable and would lead to progredient loss of his hearing until clinic deafness. So his second symphony is very special in this regard indeed .
Thank you Sir for your years of study and hard work to show the world your most magical talent and of course the master himself our wonderful Beethoven.
A 'podium' is what one stands on (from Latin "pes, pedis," foot). The conductor is indeed standing on a podium. What he does not use is a lectern, the stand on which a score would be placed, if he used one.

It is so obvious, Barenboim loves this orchestra! He has done more for peace in the Middle East than any politician. He and his young orchestra perform with joyous hope for the future.
Précisément. Je pense souvent qu'il mérite le prix Nobel de la paix. Il a fait tant pour la paix et pour la musique, il nous a enseigné que la musique unit les peuples et est en-dessus de tout nationalisme. Tout en l'interprétant superbement.
Classical music is not just sound; it is a convergence of emotion and imagination. From the smallest musical notes to grandiose compositions, each musical phrase is an adventure through time and culture.
Magnifique Maestro Barenboim, West East Divan Orchestra. Beethoven would be proud. C'est si bon ! They bring love, peace and beauty to the world. Très bien.
I have seen multiple recordings now of Barenboim conducting Beethoven without the benefit of a written score in front of him. It’s all in his head. Brilliant.
I believe that the 2nd Symphony of Beethoven is one of his best works. In this Symphony, the Meister expressed fantastically the suffering state of the mankind. Bravo Ludwig for this Symphony. Bravo Brenboim for the conduction.
The fully inspired young members under Barenboim's baton show us Beethoven was already great when he was young. This symphony is strong like thunder.The audience clapping after each movement was a bit much, but the applause after the first movement was very natural, as it was when I wanted to clap, too.
The second movement is staggeringly beautiful. I remember years ago driving my girlfriend home in my Audi, playing this second movement on the stereo that dark rainy night, she was asleep, but woke up, saying”oh my Good what is this beautiful music? I thought I was dead and went to heaven”...
This is a really good symphony, by any standard. It sits well with the 3rd and is a real departure from the 1st. The orchestration is glorious at times. There are colours of the 3rd in this. I think, by this time, he had really learned about the orchestra. At 31 or 32, he was about to deal with the biggest challenge a musician can face, and then move on to greatness.
absolutamente fantástica interpretación de esta gran sinfonía, me quedo maravillado ante mi maestro Beethoven. Que belleza de música una de las causas de mi estadía en este mundo, se la debo a la música clásica. Gracias Ludwin Van Beethoven.
SR. CARLOS, PELO AMOR DE DEUS, NEM TUDO QUE BEETHOVEN ESCREVIA TINHA O TOQUE DO SEU GRANDE TALENTO. ESTA SINFONIA N0. 2 NÃO TEM NADA DE FANTÁSTICA E SIM CONTÉM MUITO FEIJÃO COM ARROZ E DESENVOLVIMENTO SEM IDÉIAS BRILHANTES. NÃO SE ENGANEM COM AQUILO QUE PARECE OURO MAS NÃO É.
A great performance. I like Barenboim's minimalist style of conducting, and his memorization of the score so he can make continuous eye contact with the musicians. He's the only conductor I've ever seen wink at musicians.
The satanic desires of Russia woke up. War, hatred, killing, enslaving innocent people 🦾🦿🦴🧠🧑🦽😈👹🪳☢🏴☠. A vile country hated by the whole WORLD. What happened to this country that used to be so great???!!!!
The audience weren't so much ill-educated (other proms videos show no such behaviour) as delighted by the entire night. The warmth of feeling directed towards the Barenboim West-East Divan project by a British audience fundamentally supportive of its ethos was unmistakable. Being at the classical end of Beethoven's symphonies not only was clapping historically accurate but also musically appropriate; nothing was lost, only atmosphere was gained. A welcome party as much as a concert.
Oh! Cuanto bien hacen estas obras musicales de estos genios a estos simples mortales; y pensar que ya han pasado siglos y siglos desde que originalmente lo hicieron y no han podido superarlos, que verdadera epoca de oro fue esa y con pruebas para probarla.
Les agradesco infinitamente , existir , me acaricia el alma cada vez que los escucho , gracias y que Dios los Bendiga siempre 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🇲🇽
Beethoven's symphonies have 4 movements only, Barenboim's body language twice as many; that is why the symphonies have a most delightful dramatic effect on me when Daniel B. is conducding
une immense émotion, une admiration totale et un grand respect pour M. Barenboim pour ses qualités de musicien, de chef d'orchestre qui a mis ses talents et son humanisme dans la création du West-Eastern Divan
As close to perfect as is possible in a live performance - quite staggering. All section principals play their hearts out, principal clarinet and bassoon are good enough to eat. Those horn players deserve a bonus, beautiful sound overall. Am almost speechless with admiration.
Cellos in the middle with the 1st violins and 2nd violins on the outer edges is sometimes a preferred setup, depending of course on the repertoire. Music such as this, with prominent cello lines and very distinctive parts between the two violin sections, is advantageous in that it allows the cello sound to come more to the fore when needed and provides a stereo effect with the 1st and 2nd violins separated.
This is such a nice piece! I had to repeat the finale; which seems to me a text-book example of brisk, suave and smooth sailing brava. ‘Ole Ludwig always knew “whereof he affirmed” and with consummate skill and foresight made us believe we actually know our way to the city. Just to think the EROICA was just around the bend and an entirely new and quite bizarre galaxy. With a funeral March like the grandest, soaring cathedral; crystal and sublime. Never a dull moment with this genius! PWG
Geniale!!! Questa seonda sinfonia nell'interpretazione di Baremboin traspira la giovinezza...come l'Orchestra che la suona "Allegro con brio". Lo "charme" è qui al diapason!
I'm going to hear this piece on Jan 27th next year, when Barenboim and his West--Eastern Divan Orchestra travel to Boston, along with Symphony No.3. Bravo
There were no limits of boundaries for Beethoven, he composed pieces which surpassed among creativity even when his deafness reach its level of profoundness. In fact, he was conveying to us his true distress and anguish through his music. Music like this was intended from Beethoven, to make the listener listen and not to treat it as background entertainment. That's what really stirs up the big questions in people's minds about Beethoven's abilities which alienates many people the fact that this music, Symphony no. 2 was created at the time before Beethoven realized he was beginning to lose his sense of hearing. The music stayed consistent throughout his life and be kept producing such inspirational, original music. People like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Haydn and Handel had their own originality. Despite people like Beethoven and possibly Mozart had compositions that were impacted by, for example, Mozart was possibly impacted by works of Bach when he was a child, and the early works of Beethoven were heavily impacted by Mozart and Haydn (Haydn especially) but Beethoven mostly shows his originality and unique motifs. A true legend of his age and still has his obsessive and bewilderingly impressive impact on people today! Whether it'd be contemporary modern composers or the admirers and listeners of this great age!
Haydn liked Eroica, but apparently he felt as if it completely rewrote the symphony, making Haydn's early 10-minute symphonies obsolete. I think it was just evolution. Beethoven justified each note of the 3rd, and thank God, because it's sublime.
Such a great performance, and I love the little moment starting from 7:15. Just flowing and having fun :-) Overall, my favorite performance of my favorite Beethoven piece, sooo good to see everyone perform at their peak!
Acho que Barenboim, pela iniciativa deste empreendimento, é merecedor de todos os prêmios que possam ser atribuídos a quem trabalha pela paz em zona de conflitos permanentes!... Lamentavelmente, raivosos incuráveis preferem o som de instrumentos que matam, mas a tentativa de Barenboim sempre terá poder de contenção, mesmo que não consiga harmonizar por completo todas as raivas que irmãos de origem deveriam substituir por atos de amor que a música pode alavancar! Enfim, não percamos a esperança.
This is the Rodney Dangerfield of Beethoven's symphonies: it don't get no respect. The Larghetto is just sublime, but while the Scherzo may sound tame today, it was one of the maddest things written up to that point and the critics hated it. I like the way the basses come through clearly in this recording. This symphony was written not long after Beethoven met Dragonetti, who inspired Beethoven to pay more attention to the bass parts, making them do more than just double the cello parts.
The Prom each year is terrific. The Horn convention this year is in the Imperial College Sherfield Building "Great Hall". Any way to get clips of the horn symposium posted. The event is August 11th-15th this year (2014).
Man this is superb! Beethoven, while deaf, made this, and now hes transferring it through a big mass of red yarn and eyes!
Actually Beethoven was just beginning to lose his hearing at the time he wrote this and didn't really hard of hearing until much later. But the imagination needed - even with perfect ears - to create this work is unimaginable.

I realized how wonderful that was and ever since I have loved it whenever I conduct,
I've not heard of anyone clapping between movements except in military band concerts, and then it is usually discouraged.
Usually I find clapping between movements annoying, but this point of view is very wholesome and makes me more understanding.
it's a joke of a tradition... it ruins the whole industry imo. Only a select few emotions that some pieces make deserve to not be interrupted
Most of the audience at a BBC Prom will have attanded many concerts probably a good number of them in each season. Of course they know the 'etiquette'
That's why Beethoven created the Piano-Forte concept. To not let people sleep in the concert after they drunk so much. Nobody was really interested in music until Beethoven. People was a the concert house only cose "social life". Very much like nowdays.

I'm going to hear this piece on Jan 27th next year, when Barenboim and his West--Eastern Divan Orchestra travel to Boston, along with Symphony No.3.
Bravo
There were no limits of boundaries for Beethoven, he composed pieces which surpassed among creativity even when his deafness reach its level of profoundness. In fact, he was conveying to us his true distress and anguish through his music. Music like this was intended from Beethoven, to make the listener listen and not to treat it as background entertainment. That's what really stirs up the big questions in people's minds about Beethoven's abilities which alienates many people the fact that this music, Symphony no. 2 was created at the time before Beethoven realized he was beginning to lose his sense of hearing. The music stayed consistent throughout his life and be kept producing such inspirational, original music. People like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Haydn and Handel had their own originality. Despite people like Beethoven and possibly Mozart had compositions that were impacted by, for example, Mozart was possibly impacted by works of Bach when he was a child, and the early works of Beethoven were heavily impacted by Mozart and Haydn (Haydn especially) but Beethoven mostly shows his originality and unique motifs. A true legend of his age and still has his obsessive and bewilderingly impressive impact on people today! Whether it'd be contemporary modern composers or the admirers and listeners of this great age!

This is the symphony that Haydn said Beethoven had gone too far..
And then came Eroica!
Haydn liked Eroica, but apparently he felt as if it completely rewrote the symphony, making Haydn's early 10-minute symphonies obsolete. I think it was just evolution. Beethoven justified each note of the 3rd, and thank God, because it's sublime.
Beethoven had stomach issues and the open to the third movements is supposed to be farts and belches, I think that is what Hayden objected to.
Causal flirting at 7:18 while conducting on one of the world's biggest stages.

A lovely performance. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it!
Huge. Nailed.
He just motivates the players and then let them loose. Stunning.
1:58 - 2:04 sounds like the opening of the ninth symphony
Trueee

良い音でした
Such a great performance, and I love the little moment starting from 7:15. Just flowing and having fun :-)
Overall, my favorite performance of my favorite Beethoven piece, sooo good to see everyone perform at their peak!
Acho que Barenboim, pela iniciativa deste empreendimento, é merecedor de todos os prêmios que possam ser atribuídos a quem trabalha pela paz em zona de conflitos permanentes!... Lamentavelmente, raivosos incuráveis preferem o som de instrumentos que matam, mas a tentativa de Barenboim sempre terá poder de contenção, mesmo que não consiga harmonizar por completo todas as raivas que irmãos de origem deveriam substituir por atos de amor que a música pode alavancar! Enfim, não percamos a esperança.
Merci beaucoup
Last mvt is my favourite, love the classical style.

This is the Rodney Dangerfield of Beethoven's symphonies: it don't get no respect. The Larghetto is just sublime, but while the Scherzo may sound tame today, it was one of the maddest things written up to that point and the critics hated it.
I like the way the basses come through clearly in this recording. This symphony was written not long after Beethoven met Dragonetti, who inspired Beethoven to pay more attention to the bass parts, making them do more than just double the cello parts.
The Prom each year is terrific. The Horn convention this year is in the Imperial College Sherfield Building "Great Hall". Any way to get clips of the horn symposium posted. The event is August 11th-15th this year (2014).
