Jordi Savall & Le Concert des Nations | Beethoven Sinfonie Nr. 6 | Laeiszhalle Hamburg

Published 2021-12-05
»Excitingly different« – the legendary conductor Jordi Savall and his Early Music ensemble in the Laeiszhalle. ➡️ Discover more: elphi.me/SavallBeethoven6

Savall's concerts in the Laeiszhalle in October 2021: »Time after time one could enjoy with surprise all kinds of details of the score that are otherwise never heard.« (Hamburger Abendblatt) What better way to celebrate Beethoven's birthday? In three concerts spread over two evenings, the Catalan conductor and his chamber orchestra Le Concert des Nations turned their attention to the famous composer's symphonies. Their performance of Beethoven's Sixth is now available as a concert stream.

Savall explained that he wanted to »restore the energy to the Beethoven symphonies, which are so well-known and are too often heard in cluttered interpretations« – a task that no-one is better suited to than this meticulous music scholar with his chamber orchestra specialising in Early Music. Incidentally, we can also congratulate Jordi Savall himself: he celebrated his 80th birthday in August 2021.

    What a resplendent performance! Many period instrument versions of the Sixth push too hard, but this one respects the generally lively tempos while still letting the music breathe. So glad to see Savall come round to this work, perhaps my favorite Beethoven symphony....
  • Merci, ++++ c'est bondissant, rafraichissant, j'ai eu l'impression d'être comme emporté dans un courant. on ne peut quitter la barque. Ce son de la petite harmonie, comme il se fond dans l'ensemble. c'est de la pure magie..
  • Our audience absolutely stunned that the voyage to MOTHER NATURE'S REALM, courtesy of Maestro Savall's execution, of this grand hymn by the Greatest Musical Creator of All, was over. What a flight!
  • Puede que pueda sonar "rara" ,para los mas puristas. Una interpretación excepcional. Savall ha salido al campo a pasear y observa la naturaleza sin prisas . Una total delicia para el oido.
  • An exceptional performance of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony.Thank you, Maestro Jordi Savall & Le Concert des Nations. Bravo!
  • @RikVermont8
    The music breathes; all the instruments are distinct. A beautiful recreation of Beethoven's 6th.
  • @markusstark8564
    loving these old instruments! They must not been forgotten!

    Moltes gracies Jordi Savall per aproparnos aquesta meravellosa simfonia tal i com s’escoltava en temps de Beethoven! Thank you Jordi Savall for bringing the sound of this wonderful symphony closer to what it was like at Beethoven time!!

    Era ora! Un grandissimo Savall per l'immenso Beethoven

    Wir hatten ursprünglich Karten für dieses Konzert, was eigentlich schon im Juni 2020 auf dem Programm stand. Dann aber verschoben wurde wg. Corona. Danke für die Ausstrahlung! So konnten wir endlich hören, was wir verpasst haben. Ein wirklich wunderbares Konzert. Schade, dass die Pandemie uns den Live-Genuss genommen hat. Wir werden es sicherlich noch öfter ansehen und hören.

    Wunderschöne Beethoven Sinfonie Nr. 6 !
  • @guypruvost3161
    Sublime interpétation. Vravo à vous et surtout aux cornistes.Remarquable...
  • Oh, what a wonderful performance! Silky smooth strings go all the way up to the upper limit of 20kHz. The horns and woodwinds sound so fitting to the 6th. Visually and aurally this video is exceptionally enjoyable. Kudos to camera crew and tonmeisters. これは素晴らしい演奏!弦楽器は滑らかに上限20kHzまで伸びている。ホルンと木管楽器は6番にぴったり。このビデオは他に例のないほど目にも耳にも楽しい。 カメラクルーとトンマイスターに賛辞を送ります。
  • @jerryj1411
    Enjoyable. Nicely paced, particularly impressed by the stately tempo of the Andante. Many 'period bands' rush it.

    Qué tan linda inspiración dirigencial de Jordi Savall! Cordialmente Martina
