Finally a beginning tempo for the overture that doesn’t milk every note. Refreshing. This conductor would take getting used to…no baton, body bending, wild arm flinging. But this is a clean performance. Interesting trumpets and horns have”period” instruments, but everyone else has modern instruments.

I am so grateful to hr-Sinfonieorchester for your performances on youtube. They truly set the production standard for performances online, the audio quality is amazing. The orchestra is also truly outstanding. The program selections and guest artists are always fantastic.Thank you!!

The stars are the sound engineers. Unbelievably good. How else can you display such talent.?

[mieczysawsmuskiewicz]

Dziękuję bardzo. Wspaniała muzyka Beethovena. Wspaniałe wykonanie .

[molinarimusician]

Fantastisch!!! After the end I just had one thing to say: lol (UAU, WOW)! I'm speechless, without words, until now. Incredible. What a sound!! I have never seen this orchestra with this sound yet. Koopman is a genius, and Beethoven must be very proud wherever he is.

This brings back youth orchestra memories

For those who complained about Koopman's "rushed" interpretation: tempo markings are inherently inanimate, music is empathetically human. Instead of outright disapproval and turning into YouTube maestros all of a sudden, shouldn't we at least try to understand why Koopman might choose to diverge from the usual practice? Artistic expression is not about recreating the same interpretation again and again, otherwise that's just a scientific conclusion. I surely hope you don't enjoy your music the same way you scrutinize scientific facts.

Just what I needed this morning! Excellent performance!

[jean-pierrepapinou]

Super cool wunderbach c'est trop classe ! Bisous de la France !

[notaire]

Wunderschöne und inspirierende Aufführung dieser majestätischen Schauspielmusik mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der erfahrene und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die soziale Distsanzierung zwischen den allen Spieler ist auch perfekt. Einfach wundervoll!

The sound engineer should have taken a bow on this one.

[АллаДзюба-иь]

[gregoriokuhn]

Una obra que me encanta. Me gustó mucho la interpretación

[gamerboy-jhqx]

13:12 its sounds like the beethoven theme to beethoven finale of his eroica/prometheus

[clairerobsin]

...about the Mask you ask well, they are in or from Frankfurt right?

[TheStockwell]

Wow! Blimey! Why is Koopman in such a hurry to get this music over with? He's taking it at the same brisk, business-like tempo he uses when performing, well, everything. At least we finally know what the Egmont sounds like as a Rossini overture. 😕
