As a swede I have always admired Herbert Blomstedt. His conducting in this Beethoven is a show in itself, even if he is not aware of it. He only follows his intentions of how this music shall be played, he has no intention at all to take some place in advantage of the music he conducts, he is only a humble servant of this music. It is all in his head, and therefore no sheet music for him.

I lived in San Francisco during his tenure and I will never forget the Maestro’s interpretation of Bruckner, Dvorak, Sibelius, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Beethoven.

During his tenure in San Francisco in the 1980’s, I had the distinct pleasure of both hearing the Maestro’s work and personally connecting with him after performances. He was always gracious and happy to receive a dedicated public. Once, after a wonderful Bruckner 8th, we went backstage afterwards, and I told the Maestro that I had never heard a better Bruckner 8th. The Maestro seemed thunderstruck to hear such praise. He threw his head back, looked at me, and said, “Really?” Yes, really, Maestro. God bless you and your continuing good work.

Это в высшей степени гениальное симфоническое произведение величайшего из музыкантов в истории человечества стало первой классической музыкальной композицией, которую услышал ещё в детстве и был потрясён силой её гармонии, красоты, величия, всепоглощающего очарования, граничащего с благоговением перед могуществом звукового океана, музыкальным цунами обрушивающегося на слушателя в первой части этого бессмертного шедевра. Ведь в пятой симфонии по сути сконцентрирована вся духовная составляющая человеческой жизни, включающая и ту часть пути, которая находится за пределами земного существования. Страстность, упоение в борьбе, красота, любовь, стремление к счастью, радость и ощущение праздника, когда силы добра побеждают зло - душа и сердце разрываются от гаммы чувств, захлёстывающих при погружении в восхитительный бетховенский мир, звуковое великолепие которого не сравнимо ни с чем! Блистательный оркестр и прославленный дирижёр своим искусством творят чудеса, поднимая монументальное произведение великого классика на фантастическую, непревзойдённую высоту! Наслаждению нет предела!

I entirely agree!

This Fifth Symphony I will call it. The Symphony of JUSTICE! Beethoven was an absolute Philosophical Genius. Who put his Philosophical transcendental ideas into MUSIC! not WORDS! he was the Ultimate! The truly Guardian of the Classical Music. His face in Heaven, probably it's pure LIGHTNING! ⚡! 🙄

I didn't know this orchestra and the director, it was a special surprise. Wonderful interpretation of one of the most famous pieces of music ever.

A conductor - masterful!

I love most of Beethoven's work especially this one and his 9th with choral. This is pure power.

No matter how many performance will be performed and how many conductor will conduct this genius masterpiece no one will match and reach the level that only Herr Herbert Blomstedt reached because simply he is the only one that reaches the way that this Symphony should be and must be performed! I am very selective in a sense that's really hard and difficult to my ear can be pleased but he did it! Only him who did it.

L'ORCHESTRE FANTASTIQUE HISTORIQUE , LE DIRECTEUR GRANDIOSE, BEETHOVEN C'EST JUSTEMENT A GÉNIE MERCI PER ÇE PARTAGE !!!

Thank you maestro for your lifelong commitment to classical music. This Beethoven, symphony no 5, is the perfect example of how gorgeous this cooperation can be.

Probably the finest live interpretation version ever fantastic tempo depth clarity 👏👏💚💚

Good Lord the 3rd mvmt is delicious... Also, as a former non-professional flute player, I must give a Shout Out to the principal flute player here. She has achieved perfect timing with the orchestra and also an astounding Beethovenian flute tone. Brava. An A+. The entire Woodwind Section is stupendous. Thank You to Maestro Blomstedt for having a solid idea about how this symphony should go and for following through on that idea. You clearly were not merely "dialing it in". For that, and for your musical ideas about Beethoven's 5th, I thank you.

I’ve always thought the third movement of this symphony was really underrated. The melody at the beginning that is intentionally reminiscent of that of the first, while remaining interesting and unique is simply sublime. Then the fugue in the middle is one of Beethoven’s finest in my mind, which is followed by the repetition of the opening melody which begins the whole journey again. As the icing on the cake the movement ends with a wonderful soft pizzicato and solo clarinet and flute rendition of the opening melody which really adds a sense of finality to the movement. Despite being the shortest of the piece, the third movement is does a simply wonderful job of building to a conclusion that is both inevitable, and refreshing: a perfect postlude for the second, and a stirring prelude to the fourth. Beethoven truly was a master of his craft.

Jamás me cansaré de escuchar estas maravillas del genio de Bonn

Beethoven was and remains to be a friend to people who endure hardships, and thru their perseverance, they succeeded and won for themselves. ✍🏻

waaaaw ... 15 years i hear this symphony .... its immortal for ever !

For a video captured over 22 years ago, this is amazing. I was drawn to the performance both because I know of Mr. Blomstedt from his tenure with the San Francisco Symphony but also because when I bought a CD set with Beethoven symphonies I selected a modest priced set with him as conducting the Dresden Staatskapelle. I've been listening to it of late, doubtless filling those shelter-in-place days created by COVID and omicron. This amazing music is exactly what the doctor ordered. This performance is first rate.

Wow! It's been years since I listened to Beethoven's 5th and this is the best recording I've heard. Such lament and power and well, just listen to it. I have the late 60's Karajan/BPO and Rattle's/LSO recordings but Blomstedt/GOL will now be my go to. It's simply breath taking.

Sublime. Europe's spirit at its best.

Magnifique interprétation. Chapeau bas.

It’s as if I’m hearing this for the first time in my life, 69 years. Every note every tone, every nuance was as perfect as if Beethoven were conducting it himself. The venue and the acoustics lend itself to the absolute perfection of his ninth symphony.
