Liebe Maestro echenbach. Sie beste...!!!

Among the souvenirs my dearly-departed wife left me was a CD series with all the Beethoven symphonies, some of which I'd heard in other interpretations, but others not. This 8th is one of those I hadn't heard before. I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: I'm very, VERY glad that there's a WDR, an NDR, an HR, and the various other broadcasting company orchestras in Germany; they can all sit in the same front seat with ALL the "name" orchestras of the world. This (somewhat whimsical!) Beethoven 8th is a prime example. ¡Enhorabuena! JAT

Thank you! my favorite orchestra!

Performance by a typical German orchestra and German conductor. It was often seen until the 20th century, but now it is rare. This is a good example. You can hear all the sounds of each part, typical of a German orchestra. Also, the continuous tremolo of the string part, which is important in Beethoven's symphonies, is played well.

Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow. What a fantastic performance--truly world-class!!

If ONLY Beethoven could have heard folks like this playing his stuff nowadays. He'd probably fall out of his chair. Indeed in many ways he was "writing for another age."

Best of bests!👏

BRAVO !

Eine Welt ohne Beethoven? Unmöglich!

If this is a fight, boy, does that movement go up and down.

Who is on the Timpany?

Christoph Eschenbach wird immer besser: Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, wie er am Abend von 9/11 Hélène Grimaud dazu überreden und ermuntern musste, in der Royal Albert Hall überhaupt für ein Klavierkonzert von Beethoven aufzutreten, was sie dann unter Tränen in den Augen auch tat. Schon damals frappierte es mich, dass er keine Partitur beim Dirigat benötigte: Er hatte sie bereits im Kopf!

Hach so viele Dirigenten können sich hier eine Scheibe abschneiden und lernen wie‘s geht.

Socially distanced, good. But Maestro, everyone who could wear a mask should.
