Sir JE Gardiner is such a fantastic conductor and so lovable! I wish the Philadelphia Orchestra would have evenings where they teach about the symphony and the relevant history. Then play the piece. I would LOVE that
I love the way he describes the music. You can hear that in the performance. I think JEG has phenomenal taste and also historic information that makes his recordings and conducting a cut above. He's my father's favorite conductor and mine as well.
Sir John is a master story-teller, thank you for these. And please consider releasing new recordings of the complete cycle - it'd be a thrill to compare what changes 25 years can bring.
I have the complete cycle of Beethoven Symphonies with Sir John Elliot Gardiner and the ORR recorded for the ARCHIV label (on CD), and I think they are wonderful interpretations. It would be interesting if they recorded a new cycle of Beethoven symphonies.
Very enlightening, but at 9:18, talking about the minuet, he says nobody in Mozart's or Haydn's time would have given such a fast tempo. Mozart was dead, but Haydn was still alive and kicking, and he wrote presto minuets in his Op.76 string quartets, published in 1799. Perhaps Haydn was the real revolutionary!
We had this discussion in music school. The theory teacher said that almost no bar in Haydn didn't point to something that would be done later, even into the 20th century. Haydn hinted at, he implied, he sometimes went, but never with as much daring as Beethoven. That's not to say his music wasn't incredibly innovative, but Haydn didn't break doors down in the same way as Beethoven. Maybe he was to gentile? Maybe it just wasn't his style, except of course, when it WAS his style. Because when Haydn does open that door, it's amazing. Not in the same way as Beethoven, but no less amazing.

Best Beethoven conductor!

Opening of final movement: letting the cat out of the bag. Who said that? G.B.Shaw?
Hier eine super Erklärung zur 1. Sinfonie: th-cam.com/video/BRaUFp7khGE/w-d-xo.html
Is that Kati Debretzeni? I keep seeing fleeting glimpses of a violinist who looks somewhat like her.
Tempomässig ist das Orchester aber schon an der Grenze;-)
I HOPE THEY DO NOT COMPARE IT WITH THE 90S RECORDINGS
