Beethoven: Overture to Egmont | Kurt Masur and the Gewandhaus Orchestra

- Kurt Masur and the Gewandhaus Orchestra have an eventful history: The
conductor played a key role in the mass demonstrations of the "peaceful
revolution" that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the GDR. On
October 9, 1989, more than 70,000 GDR citizens protested for more democracy
and freedom - on the same evening, the Gewandhaus Orchestra, conducted by
Kurt Masur, played a concert in Leipzig's St. Nicholas Church.
Exactly 20 years later, the orchestra under the direction of the German
conductor commemorates the historic event with an anniversary concert in the
very same St. Nicholas Church. They will also play the overture to Egmont (op.
84) by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is the first part of a dramatic score to the drama
"Egmont" by the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which Beethoven
wrote on the occasion of a production in 1810 commissioned by the Vienna
Burgtheater. The overture became very famous and is often performed
separately from the rest of this piece of music.
Kurt Masur was born in Lower Silesia in 1927 and was Gewandhaus‘ music
director in Leipzig from 1970 to 1996. During this time he gave more than 900
touring concerts with the Orchestra. In addition to his artistic work, he is best
remembered for his political involvement during the "peaceful revolution" in
Leipzig, where he used his position as music director of Gewandhaus to warn
against violence. Kurt Masur was subsequently music director of the New York
Philharmonic and chief conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra before
passing away in the USA in 2015.

Feed for the soul, thank you
I have been watching the events unfolding in the Middle East and, through tears, I had to listen to Egmont. I only hope and pray this is what I hear as I enter Valhalla. No flaming arrows.
HOI4 moment
Nothing claims me down like classical music (Beethoven certainly ain’t no slouch), but actually seeing classical music being physically performed by musicians is another awesome experience that I have nothing but respect for.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance on TH-cam. Everyone who took part in the music as well as everyone else who physically watched this performance firsthand should be proud.👍
We're glad you liked it! Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads.

I keep returning to this Overture Egmont . Its my favorite . I can listen to this performance all the time . Magnificent ! This is Beethoven at his best . Thanks .
The last few minutes of this piece always gets my pulse pounding.
Best finale ever!
If I ever had the privilege to see this performed live, I would not be able to hold back the tears of joy. This is beauty and power their purest forms.
I will be watching it live within two weeks, and I barely can wait.
Enjoy! :)

Such a reserved audience! I’d be crying and saying Bravo!!!!
thats why you weren't invited
Very nice but I wish you tube haven’t thrown in a few ads. It is very annoying to have the music cut off for a commercial
The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra is a great orchestra. It was founded in 1781. No original members remain...
Bravissimo!!! 👏👏👏
Memorable Kurt Mazur Extraordinaria interpretación de la hermosa obertura Egmont del genio Beethoven. Bravo!!!

Listening to the Egmont ouverture during this Covid Christmas evokes feelings of deep sadness and inspiration. Let's continue to fight tyranny and suffering through art and science!

Deus conversa com a humanidade através das músicas de Beethoven.
So true
Maestro Masur, who passed away 19 December 2015, must be considered one of the greatest ever. The energy he suffused into the Orchestra is palpable. Egmont is timeless. However, very difficult to play well.
To me this is somewhat a "light" version of Egmont. Well done.
I had a soft spot for Kurt.
É uma espetacular musica, feita para. Os de sentimrnto!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
