Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 | Herbert Blomstedt and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig​

It was the high point of Leipzig’s tenth anniversary celebrations of German reunification – Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, performed by the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig and conducted by Herbert Blomstedt. The commemorative concert was held in the St. Nicholas Church on October 9, 1999. A key moment in history occurred in Leipzig – the former GDR’s second-largest city – on October 9, 1989, when some 70,000 Leipzig residents overcame their fear of their authoritarian state to demonstrate for freedom, and increased democracy. This ‘Monday demonstration‘ as it would become known ran peacefully, despite mounting political tensions, and would become one of the events that lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, one month later. The demonstrators' rallying cry of "Wir sind das Volk!“ – we are the people – was picked up again for this concert, where the fateful turn of history was to be commemorated with this performance of Beethoven's Fifth, also known as his 'Fateful Symphony'. It‘s said to have received the additional epithet by way of a bon mot from the composer himself. Speaking of its four opening notes and their famous rhythm, Beethoven is reported to have said "Thus, fate knocks at the door!" This interpretation by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, conducted by Herbert Blomstedt, is positively ponderous in tempo, meaning one can listen intently to each twist and turn of Beethoven's symphony. In commemoration of that crucial day in Leipzig so shortly before the shift in the tide of world politics, this artistic choice certainly works to underscore the slow turning of fate. (00:11) I. Allegro con brio (07:45) II. Andante con moto (17:49) III. Allegro (26:21) IV. Allegro © EuroArts

Webern: Fünf Stücke für Orchester mit Günter Wand (1985) | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester​

For anyone interested, the Elbphilarmonie has, at least in my country, an app that I have downloaded in my Ipad, where you can watch many videos of their concerts in better audio quality than YouTube.
Yesterday, they performed a beautiful concert in Madrid. Bruch and Bruckner with Joshua Bell and Allan Gilbert. They also did an encore with Joshua Bell and the orquestra. It was a famous aria performed by violin and orquestra. I believe it was o mio babbino caro

Paul Herriott presents a concert streamed live from The Helix, Dublin on Oct 15, 2021

Coleridge-Taylor - Ballade op.33

Bacewicz - Concerto for String Orchestra

Rachmaninov - Symphony no. 2 in E minor

RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra with Ruth Reinhardt (conductor)

Programme notes here.

The young rising star German conductor Ruth Reinhardt makes her much anticipated RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra debut with music by two pioneering composers and a Russian giant wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Born in London to a father from Sierra Leone and an English mother, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was much admired by Elgar and Irishman Charles Villers Stanford. Subtly incorporating musical elements from his father’s African heritage, his A minor Ballade for orchestra is a high-spirited work lit up by a warm, unabashed romanticism.

The prolific Grażyna Bacewicz led the charge for women composers in her native Poland, achieving international recognition that eluded many of her peers. Her Concerto for String Orchestra was one of 14 concertos she wrote (seven of them for violin). Prize-winning at home, attention-grabbing abroad and considered her most accomplished work. Glancing back to the Baroque and Classical eras, it is symphonic in scope, engagingly melodic and written with winning gusto and energy.

Rachmaninov’s swooning Second Symphony shows why he inherited Tchaikovsky’s mantle as the most romantic of Russian composers. He may have spent much of his life in self-imposed exile, but his heart remained always in his native homeland. Music of immense emotional heft, the Symphony boasts one of his most sublime melodies in its songful Adagio. Like the best of Russia, it unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve as it moves from mournful introspection to blazing romance.

Intro starts at 3' 20''
