The music is amazing - Beethoven at his best! Wow! And the group playing it - precise, together, in tune, musical and has "punch" & dynamics. The basset hornist is superb! And the recording lets solo instruments stand out in sound and visually, excellent. The conductor coordinated the ensemble balance & tempos magnificently. I think van Beethoven would be proud, RIP Ludwig, your music is in good hands here!
Thanks Budimir! Glad you enjoyed so many parts of this recording.
*"Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus"*!!
sound is the best Beethoven is obviously understood by Benjamin Levy, who gets the best from the orchestra.WOW performance.!!!!
@@chicoco308 Thanks, John!
I agree with you as regards performance. The music is, however, far from being Beethoven's best. Incidental music seldom is.
Wunderbar
Ludwig the best
I was in a youth orchestra and we had played this piece. The conductor was amazing. I never knew how much the conductor makes a difference to an orchestra.
Beethoven's Prometheus is a magical composition relating to the mythological story of the Titan of knowledge. He is the symbol of enlightenment. The listener can appreciate the exquisite beauty in the excellence of lightness and contrasts in the dynamics. The Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas and the conductor present a mesmerising performance!
Many thanks
fantastic performence in unison
OMG ! Beethoven at his very best ! A superb performance !!
On behalf of the musicians: thank you very much, Gary!
à signaler le solo de flute trés intelligent sans vibrato comme la flute baroque , magnifiques timbales avec peaux de chèvre comme à Vienne
La meilleur éxécution possible , voila comment Beethoven aurait aimé l' entendre .
I have never seen a happier conductor. He just seems so absolutely overjoyed.
Haha. Inspired by the music, I am sure.
This blows my mind how it contains a piece of Eroica! Great performance!!
another magical Beethoven
Rares sont les représentations en live de ce ballet de Beethoven, de bonne facture qui plus est. Un orchestre français pour couronner le tout. Dommage que cette oeuvre, moins connue du profane ne soit pas interprétée plus souvent en France ou ailleurs.
I just love creatures of Prometheus. It’s such an unloved work.
Fabulous!!
Thank you!
Потом была и опера, но...интересно, что молодой Танцор, хоть и племянник Л.Боккерини, сумел своей идеей Бетховена так заинтересовать, чтобы все у них сложилась, даже с балетными пометками в партитуре Бетховена! ВРЕМЯ! БРАВО Дирижеру с оркестром!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
우리나라의 오케스트라는 이토록,아름답고,멋지고,고급진,
Beethoven 프로메테우스 전곡
연주를 왜? 하지않고
겨우 4~5분짜리 서곡만을 연주
할까요?
최고의 연주입니다.
역시 👍루드비히 반 베토벤입니다.
중기초반의 걸작이에요?
네가 지휘자라면,전곡연주를 자주
공연할거에요?
플루트와 클라리넷의 솔로 연주도
보너스로 들어있어요?
너무 아름답고,특히,지휘자가
재미있읍니다.
추천합니다.
베토벤의 再발견했읍니다.
OMG.I have heard umpteen versions of THE CREATURES but this is the first time the full works.Sadly i was listening to it at about Midnight na had the volume cranked up, the neighbours came and complained.The orchestra and conductor would have made Beethoven very proud,
Hahaha John, I can only imagine the situation. Careful not to develop Beethoven’s hearing problems yourself ;-)
Some things one does not interrupt. Into the sea with your neighbors!
Dios que perfección! Como Beethoven se ha desprendido de lo mozartiano para surgir con fuerza a lo nuevo: el romanticismo!
Se suenten llegar Schubert, Schumann y Mendelsohn detrás de su fuerza creadora y original.
Bravo por la orquesta y su director.
En el Concertgebow nunca se oye nada imperfecto: BRAVO!
Great comment
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That conductor really
got me going ❤
El tema de la HEROICA va aquí a la perfección!
El mejor autor de clasiscos de Rock... Beethoven!!!! Hermosa pesentacion
Maravillosa performance, de todas las versiones que he escuchado, en esta siento la perfeccioón. Gracias por compartir
Muchas gracias por sus comentarios!
voila le meilleur orchestre du monde , quelle justesse , quelle sonorité , la France au top !
Sehr schöne Fassung der Ballettmusik. Und ein phantastischer Bassetthornist in Nr. 14!
Vielen Dank! Der Musiker ist Michel Westpfahl.
Sounds like a symphony
Great music and a great performance, BRAVO Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas! So sad this opus is not better known.
Many, many nice little songs in this work - I catch myself humming these tunes often! :-)
Thanks Jon!
One of the nicest melodies that is the finale of the piece also appears in the third movement of Beethoven's symphony number 4.

The ending 'Heroic' theme of the 3rd Symphony - the ending movement plays with variations of it and ends here.

So beautiful and strong. :-)
Well that is one of the few things that would make me watch a ballet. Beethoven made only one ballet. And only one opera - after Fidelio he claimed it a failure. But failing in such a way ..... that exceeds most peoples notion of complete success.
Goethes Prometheus: „…Bedecke deinen Himmel, Zeus …ich kenne nichts Ärmeres unter der Sonnˋ als euch Götter…“
Phantastische Interpretation - danke.
Danke für deine schöne Nachricht, Duka!
En este trabajo, Beethoven todavía conserva la influencia del Clasicismo
Übertrifft sogar die wirklich großartige Aufnahme von HARNONCOURT!!
Rüdiger Saul ,Mainz
Das ist wohl das grösste Kompliment 🙂
Danke schön !
29:20 IV - No. 16 'Finale', allegretto
Thanks for that addition!

Too much editing. The camera rarely rests on any shot of the performers lending a frenetic and unsettled air to this great performance.
I’m wondering which score they are using for the ballet, and which for the concert version of the overture. I thought that they might have a score that includes the concert ending as a “footnote.”
Dear Stuart, thanks for your comment. You might want to find the answer by contacting the orchestra: www.orchestrepelleas.com/_contact
After having enjoyed this music, how reconforting it is to see the conductor showing his appreciation of members of the orchestra BEFORE turning towards the audience. There are recordings with a solo instrument where I find the ensemble as important as the soloist. In some passages, how would the pianist take my breath away without the background emotion brought by strings and winds? .-
Kann mir jemand sagen, wie die Musik heißt die im Vorspann kommt? Vielen Dank.
Sonst ist die ganze Musik sehr gut gespielt!!!
It’s part of No.14 ‘Solo della Signora Cassentini’; from 23:45 onwards
Oh, thank you...

Who is that marvellous Basset Horn/clarinet player?
Maybe you can find the answer here www.orchestrepelleas.com/_musicians

Please, what's the music at the beginning?
It’s part of No.14 ‘Solo della Signora Cassentini’; from 23:45 onwards
This music never fails to stun. It has inspired me to compose my own music. Please check it out!
What's the name of the first violin to the left? She's such a beautiful woman! ☺
Maria Flavia Bellisaria Kaninchina aus Pilzhaufen-Seemöwe und von der Roter Windel. Yes, quite the babe

Finale de l’héroïque pour la finale ..
