I love the 8th symphony - so tight and compact. Someone once summed it up by saying how the 9th symphony takes until the 4th movement to explode into joy whereas the 8th does it from the opening measure.

Comme un retour de jeunesse ... Mais avec un Beethoven murit et TOTALEMENT génial dans ce qu il compose .

Isn't it amazing that there are probably less than 50 symphonies in all the world that anyone cares much about! Each of these gems is like a fabulous piece of architecture; a building that we all love and revere. A building that never needs remodeling, and is perfect in every way, always and forever. It never ages, regardless of any new fashion. It lives and breathes and inspires throughout the ages. When this was composed there were no cars, trains, electric lights or telephones. No screens. Beethoven lives forever!

Brilliant execution. Beethoven makes you give 200% of what is expected of you. I see the musicians fight with their instruments as if in a battle. The energy needed to perform the last movement is extraordinary. A dedicated musician would rather die than not give his/her full body and soul full, unwavering commitment so that what Beethoven wrote comes to life and the symphony will ultimately reach the goal of its existence. Thank you, Beethoven. In his sufferings, he gave us the sublime.

Thank you for posting this a little "forgotten" symphony by Beethoven. I specially like the Allegro vivace at 16:50.

Notice at 20:38 the extra long, unexpected pauses. They make you hold your breath. Brilliant decision. After the 3rd and 7th, this my favourite symphony. When asked by his pupil Carl Czerny why the Eighth was less popular than the Seventh, Beethoven is said to have replied, "because the Eighth is so much better."

@@ultimateconstruction Yes but to be fair, whether or not Beethoven ever actually said those words, it is a famous enough quote. Wikipedia cites "The Symphony: a listeners guide". pp. 44-47. Oxford University Press, 1995 (Michael Steinberg) as a source for this, but in any event, a quick google search returns ample evidence from credible sources that Beethoven is reputed to have said this.

Paavo Järvi ist ein genialer Beethoveninterpret. Im Unterschied zur 7. und 9. Sinfonie tobt in der 8. Sinfonie kein Krieg, kein erbitterter und leidvoller Kampf der Menschen. Es geht vielleicht hier mehr um uns selbst, als Einzelner. Wie frei und souverän sind wir? Ludwig zeigt es uns: er ist außerordentlich frei und macht, was er will, voller Energie und Originalität. Auch voller Ironie und Humor über sich selbst uns seinen Beruf als Komponist. Sehr oft läßt er die Musik in eine Sackgasse oder gegen eine Wand laufen. Er macht sich über die Formen und Stile lustig. Die Leichtigkeit der Musik ist so schwer zu spielen, dass die meisten Orchester verkrampfen oder die Musik zu seicht und flach interpretieren. Paavo dirigiert mit großer Leichtigkeit, Elastizität, Ausdruckskraft und Eleganz. Das Orchester kommt hörbar nicht an seine Grenzen. Im Finale des 4. Satzes kündigt sich kurz die 9. Sinfonie an, so als ob der Humor zu Ende wäre. Diese Sinfonie ist ein sehr guter Test, um die Klasse eines Orchesters zu prüfen. Paavo ist richtiger Vollblutmusikus, bei ihm ist die Musik völlig frei und nach allen Seiten ungezwungen offen.

I love 8th symphony of beethoven and paavo jarvi is my favorite conductor. thanks for this channel.

When I want to introduce my son to one of Beethoven's symphonies, I look for Paavo Järvi.

I love this so much! Maestro Jaervi knows how to do a Beethoven..This symphony is full of really magic and very funny moments, but I think in time 22:17, that is something brilliant and exceptional!!! This transition from F sharp minor to F major, without any transposition!!! That is something amazing, never happened in music before Beethoven..I love this. (listen to this passage from approx. 22:00 and enjoy the moment later..).

P. Järvi has greatly influenced and shaped the HR SO as we know it today. He seems to be very beloved by both orchestra and audience. All sections, simply impeccable playing. At 14:20, the solo cello played in such masterly fashion, with perfect integration with the winds. Dynamics, rubattos... all there, perfect example of chamber music played within the orchestra. Listen again carefully if you will. Thank you HR SO for sharing such joyful videos.

The fifth symphony played by the Ekseption was recoded in 1969 and the youngs of this year didn't wait "The Saturday Night Fever" for dancing rock and jerk on this Ekseptional cover!

Your iternal markings are seriously off then. I heard Klemperer conduct it slow and at this speed and guess which is the better performance. The 8th loses all it's humour when the tempi are dragging. And I still can't for the life of me understand why 35 years after Norrington and Gardiner and others recorded, people still think this is being rushed. THIS is is how it is supposed to sound. Everything else is just too slow. Karajan, a drag. Solti, sleep inducing. Previn, boring.

@@CFDavid847 I have no way of even beginning to understand what you're trying to say even if you repeat it a million times. What I think you ARE saying is that in different eras or times, interpretative styles change with prevailing preferences, often without regard to, and/or knowledge of, performance practices in use at the time the music in question was written. While that, admittedly, may not rightly be called "progress", it does reflect the resultant capacity to realize that great music can withstand - triumph over - any change in manner of interpretation that the years may impose upon it. In other words, I agree with you that such a stance is not progress, and if you read my original remarks, you'll also realize that I wasn't complaining about Jarvi's tempo choices, but only of his (relative) failure to imbue them with the amount of warmth, character, and humor, that Toscanini and Melgelberg did. I'm not a score reader, so I readily admit that all three conductors could be well within any indicated tempo markings. "...haste to win the race", was merely a rhetorical phrase used to indicate that tempo, after all, is not the real issue.
