One of the best interpretations of Beethovens third. Thanks.

[staffanolofsson]

A great concert with a great maestro. Im so glad that we on YouTube always will have the possibility to listen to some of Berhard Haitinks interpretations of classical masterworks.

[somarathnahettiachchi]

I am just learning to enjoy and appreciate classical music

[knioutom]

THE BEST BEETHOVEN !!!

[staffanolofsson]

The Marcia Funebre at 19:33 with Bernard Haitink will forever stay in my mind. Like in millons and millions of other peoples minds.

An interpretation full of pathos and strength. A magnificent interpretation!

[gianpaolozeri]

Haitink, uno tra i più grandi direttori d’orchestra, ha interpretato l’Eroica in modo superlativo. Peccato che anche lui ci ha lasciato. Chissà se ha già incontrato Beethoven ed i grandi compositori che tutti ci hanno lasciato una stupenda eredità musicale.

THANK YOU for this upload of the late, great Maestro Haitink conducting Beethoven. I've come the conclusion that with the exception of Beethoven's 9th, my favorite Beethoven symphony is whichever one I happen to be listening to!

Weergaloos, jopé.... gracias Don Bernardo!

[albertgerheim]

The counterpoint!!!! Early in his career he realized he didn't have a natural gift for counterpoint. So he paid Haydn to create and grade exercises. He felt Haydn wasn't industrious enough in the grading, so he hired Albrectsberger (SP?) to take over. The second teacher was a the taskmaster Beethoven had been looking for! ... and here we are!

I love that you have a lot more than that and fun

[flivenews]

great shots! of course amazing conducting and orchestra delivery. Who's the one that does not like this? A conductor at his age is just enjoying the journey

Very virtuosic group of musicians, good fit for Beethoven. Unexpected tempo in that final Presto, not sure how I feel about it.

[JaseBach]

I am glad that there are many who like Haitink's Beethoven. The tempo is less hectic than the 'supposed' metronome marking (60 bars per minute!). Note that the great maestro beat in triple time, which was what Beethoven wrote. Since it is ridiculous to beat at 180 beats per minute, other conductors, including supposedly great ones, don't bother. Less is more in Beethoven; ignore the insane metronome markings and follow what the score says. The level-headed logic of the great Dutchman prevails.

[leonardoiglesias]

They play forte the whole beginning…so we dont get ANY sense of crescendo. Typical for bad musicians.

[leonardoiglesias]

There is not ONE piano in the whole piece…..incredibly boring.
