Well ahead of its time too…. Heard it on the radio yesterday after not hearing it for over 35 years. Woke up and the first thing I did was type Beethoven Overture …
Beethoven's C minor mood! "Shortly before resuming and completing the Fifth Symphony in 1807-8, Beethoven had unleashed comparable power in his overture for Collin's drama Coriolanus (1807). Here the opening two-note gesture is an aggressive fraternal twin to the Fifth and the entire work holds affinities with the first movement of the symphony. Beyond the aesthetic associations we can also see that when writing for strings in C minor (and also in C major, of course) Beethoven could exploit the resonant sonorities of the open C strings of the violas and the cellos, typically near the beginning of a movement and unquestionably at the end." Lewis Lockwood, Beethoven's Symphonies, An Artistic Vision, Norton, 2015, P. 98.
I played this piece last year when on tour (to the Rhineland) with a school orchestra! One of the venues we played this overture in was this very large church/cathedral kind of setting, and when we played the staccato forte chords, the orchestra would resonate for 3 seconds before the sound actually began to die. We had to adjust to this in rehearsal, and our conductor had that look of 'gosh darn it...' Fantastic piece and recording though! Very helpful to have the score as well.
Wonderful.....Such amazing development and orchestration. This is what's lacking in some of todays composers, they get an interesting theme but don't go anywhere with it. Beethoven was the master of development. A tour de force of brilliance.
Yes indeed. Even the tiniest little scrap of an idea turns into a grand developmental work in Beethoven's hands as evidenced by the Fifth Symphony that I've heard some people call this overture a fraternal twin of.
Not like Beethoven got anywhere with his themes in this piece... basically just repetition all the way through, easily one of the most boring pieces of his (and the standard is low, speaking about Beethoven)...
Immensa potenza! Incredibile che musica del genere sia stata scritta nell'Ottocento. il titanico Beethoven era veramente su un altro livello di comprensione delle cose. La musica di oggi non vale una sua nota!
Peccato che quest'opera non è conosciuta da tutti come per esempio lo è la 5 o la 9, peccato perché secondo me è uno dei più bei lavori che Beethoven abbia mai composto.
Way ahead of its time. If you took a 20-30 second snippet of it from anywhere you wouldn't feel bad about guessing it was Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, or maybe even Dvorak. It would be right at home had it been written in 1850 or 1860.
I wouldn't say that late. For me the orchestration gives it away. And to say it sounded 1850s or later would imply that it sounds later than the schumann fantasy, chopin scherzo 4 etc. ? Although the schumann was pretty ahead to be fair. I would say late 1820s
That intro, fucking hell. Beethoven was the master of explosive intros. Incredible.

God I love this overture. Also appreciate the level of bass in this recording.
One of the first pieces I played bassoon on in orchestra, you can really hear them coming through in this recording. Nicely done
unbelievable piece. played it with my youth orchestra last year in verizon hall, great sound
If you're wondering why 1:30 feels super familiar its because you played Super Smash Bros Brawl as a kid
Its good see someone more who think the same think
Thanks
Oh por dios, pocas veces no me doy cuenta de estás similitudes musicales por mi cuenta, gracias

What is a "school orchestra"?
Greatest musician ever
One of the most badass overtures ever composed: terse and economical in expression.

Complex and sophisticated beauty with a tempered darkness. Also Balanced but somewhat extreme.
Such an exciting piece and so lyrical.

Bravo brilliance grandiose genial music
This piece has that signature beethoven sound that i think brahms tried to replicate in some way, or unintentionally pulled from anyway

Reminds me a lot of Dvorak "From the new world"

Maybe if there were trombones/ 4 french horns imo
@@isaacanwarwatts8844Temperamentally it precedes several decades of Schumann, Brahms and Dvorak, as the Grosse Fuge would modernism even earlier
