Показать описание
It marks the beginning of his symphonic work: Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21. Here, it’s performed at the Beethovenfest Bonn 2021 by the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Boder in the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB).

(00:00) I. Adagio molto – Allegro con brio
(09:17) II. Andante cantabile con moto
(16:18) III. Menuetto: Allegro moto e vivace
(19:50) IV. Adagio – Allegro molto e vivace

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) is thought to have sketched out his first themes for the symphony in 1794, elaborating upon them predominantly in 1799, with the premiere held in Vienna on April 2, 1800. The Symphony No. 1 – conducted by Beethoven himself – was met with public favor from the off, and remains to this day one of Beethoven's most popular symphonies.

This may owe itself in no small part to the fact that Beethoven's first symphony is still formally entirely in the style of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s classical symphonies. One can also already tell from the outset, however, that Beethoven will take his own symphonic work in new directions. Indeed, the very first chord itself is a novelty; Beethoven begins the symphony not in the key of C major, but with a dissonant seventh chord, which hangs in the air like a question mark, only finding its resolution after the unhurried introduction. Of the first movement, the main theme alone is in C major – the ‘home’ key of the symphony. Its march-like rhythm is reminiscent of the rousing motifs of French, revolutionary music. The first movement’s entirely dance-like, burgeoning character becomes emblematic of the entire symphony.

Beethoven's First Symphony: A classical work, full of exuberance, in which the composer's charismatic style is readily apparent.

I've never listened to much Beethoven and I decided to start with Symphony 1 and work my way through. Thank you for being my first foray into this world.

A very agreeable performance of this work! I've only comparatively recently become "initiated" into it, and to hear such a high-quality interpretation is to enjoy it more and more. Very well done, everybody! JAT

Here we can clearly see the difference in performance between Austria and Germany. Their performances are smooth, both in the wind and strings, and the violins and woodwinds sound truly Viennese. We need to analyze and learn more about this difference between Austria and Germany.

Absolutely, exquisitely beautiful!
Music at its very best!

On a disappointing note, the audience response for the conductor & orchestra was very reserved!

I like his conducting style very much.

my fave,
for 2 reasons, 1: the yin yang of humanity he writes to. Female and Male dance for the Ages. Wolfgang always speaks to this musically. War and Peace, etc.
2: The Imperial vs pastoral. (It is not intellectually complicated.) Just comprehensive.

Oh almost forgot, Korngold and others used version's of Wolfgang's theme's for Hollywood movies.

The first bar of this Symphony is completely audacious. WHo starts like that? Before LVB- no one. This is one of the biggest yet so subtle statements in Classical Musical history. This is how LVB chose to start his Symphonic career.

Without geniuses this world would have no meaning....it's been 197 years since Beethoven died and her music has survived all the musical genres that exist...jejeje and the question would be...which of the current genres will last 200 years in force????...
