DVD: Beethoven     DVD:       Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Violin Concerto13 reviews Beethoven, Karajan Sony, 1999 I thought Heaven was open. I played my new DVD-copy in as soon as I got it. After a few minutes of listening, I though Heaven was open and the flood-gate had been demolished. I have never heard anything like that and it moved me so deep. I feel that my whole being has been transformed to the next unknown dimension. Even though I have listened Beethoven's Violin Concerto since 1981; that was 24 years ago. It is averaged ...             Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 1259 reviews L.V. Beethoven, Berliner Philharmoniker EuroArts, 1977 A great orchestra and their conductor at their peak Aside from featuring a superb performance of Beethoven's (and arguably music's) greatest symphony, this DVD also delivers an exciting and unintrusive visual experience thanks to the thoughtful direction of Sir Humphrey Burton. Unlike later video productions of the BPO that were directed by Karajan himself, this one does not attempt any fancy video effects or spend too much time focusing on the ...             Daniel Barenboim/Staatskapelle Berlin: Beethoven - Piano Concertos 1-5 [Blu-ray]1 review Beethoven, Skb Euroarts, 2009 Daniel Barenboim Shines as Conductor and Soloist If Daniel Barenboim is not the world's greatest living classical musician he is certainly the most versatile. In a career spanning more than 50 years, his name is attached to many of the celebrated recordings of opera, symphony, small ensemble and piano solo. With the later half of his career marked by distinction at the podium, one may forget that he is still an accomplished concert pianist. ...             Claudio Abbado: Beethoven - Symphonies 1-97 reviews Beethoven, Berlin Philharmonic EUROARTS, 2009 It is trully amazing This set is incredible. Everything is amazing - The music, The interpretation and The execution. The Sound quality and the video are unreal as well. Just get it, you will not be dissapointed             Herbert von Karajan in Rehearsal and Performance8 reviews Schumann, Beethoven Euroarts, 2006 karajan rehearsal This is an exemplary rendition of a master musician at work. A perfectionist, who was born with an unparalleled muscianship. I reccomend it to any serious musician.             Herbert Von Karajan: Memorial Concert3 reviews von Karajan, Mutter EUROARTS, 2009 A Heartfelt Memorial to Herbert Von Karajan Anne-Sophie Mutter (Pronounced "Onnuh-Zophie Mooter" in German) is arguably the #1 Violinist of the past 32 years. The story of her professional relationship with Herbert Von Karajan is truly inspiring, revealing great insights into their personalities and professionalism. In my opinion, this latest Mutter version of Beethoven's Violin Concerto is both a memorial and perhaps also part of ...             Herbert von Karajan: Memorial Concert [Blu-ray]7 reviews von Karajan, Beethoven EUROARTS, 2009 desert island disc--a real gem of a concert This celebratory concert(100th anniversary of Karajan's birth)recorded at the dazzling Golden hall of Vienna's Musikverein on 28 Jan 2008, is arguably the best concert disc on Blu ray that I've seen so far. Featuring Anne Sophie Mutter in stunning form musically, playing Beethoven's violin concerto, the work with which she has performed more times with her late mentor Karajan than any other ...             Beethoven - Eroica / John Eliot Gardiner, Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique28 reviews Ian Hart, Fenella Woolgar BBC / Opus Arte, 2005 Eroica The day that changed music forever. For lovers of Beethoven this DVD is a must. This music drama presents a well acted and convincing portrayal of the first public performance of Beethovens's Symphony No 3 (Eroica) in Vienna 1805. This was a milestone performance in that the symphony changed dramatically in style and expectations from this point on. The music and structure made a dramatic switch from meer entertainment to having ...             Legato: The World of the Piano: Pierre-Laurent Aimard - Not Just One Truth1 review Bach, Beethoven Euroarts, 2009 An Aimard Feast Pierre-Laurent Aimard is one of the handful of truly great pianists before the public today. He is equally effective in the classics and in cutting-edge modern music, the latter skill very likely incubated in his early involvement with Pierre Boulez's Ensemble Intercontemporain and his long studies with Yvonne Loriod (pianist wife of Olivier Messiaen). This DVD contains three distinct parts. ...             Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven/Brahms Violin Concertos11 reviews Beethoven, Brahms EMI Classics, 2005 maybe the best "modern" video of these works It's hard to beat this DVD - Two of the best pieces of music ever written (Beethoven and Brahms violin concertos) One of the great soloists alive today, and the Berlin Philharmonic with a talented conductor with great insight into the music (Barenboim). Excellent production, sound and video - A few strange intonation problems in the Brahms still don't prevent me from giving this one 5 stars.             Verbier Festival: Highlights 20082 reviews Shostakovich, Beethoven IDEALE AUDIENCE INTL, 2009 Good, But ... Right at the beginning I'll say that I am less thrilled with this highlights DVD from the 2008 Verbier Festival than I was with the one from the previous year Verbier Festival: Highlights 2007. First, of course, one must be aware that as a highlights disc, there are no complete multi-movement works here; we gets bits and bobs of them. The first of these, three movements of the Shostakovich Piano ...             Claudio Abbado: A Portrait Claudio Abbado, Mahler EUROARTS, 2009 Claudio Abbado is one of the greatest conductors of today, and undeniably the supreme Mahler conductor of our time. This box contains two of the best-known works of Mahler but also a wonderful performance of Bruckner's Symphony No.7 and of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3, all conducted by maestro Abbado. REPERTOIRE: DVD 1: Mahler: Symphony No.2, Lucerne Festival Orchestra; DVD 2: Mahler: Symphony No.9, Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester; DVD 3: ...             Biography - Beethoven: The Sound and the Fury (A&E DVD Archives)2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Biography A & E Home Video, 2004 Beethoven Rules!! The A&E Biography of the life and times of the famous musician and composer Beethove rules!!It's a must see video!!             Davd Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter - Live at Alice Tully Hall, New York 19704 reviews David Oistrakh, Sviatoslav Richter Video Artists Int'l, 2006 Grandes artistas ejecutando a grandes compositores I was surprised to find this dvd, it came out of nowhere, but I am glad it did. I've heard Oistrakh and Richters recordings and they are just amazing. This dvd is better than other Oistrakh dvd because it's coloured, which makes it much more enjoyable. The sound is great, the picture is good enough to see each player's technic. The performance is just great, specially the Brahms Sonata, full of ...             Hagen Quartett: Mozart Quintet for Clarinet and Strings/Beethoven String Quartet No. 162 reviews Beethoven, Mozart Euroarts, 2009 Spiritual Beethoven, spirited Mozart I should say that I bought this concert DVD mainly for the Mozart Qunitet, as I have already got the Beethoven Opus 135 on the Alban Berg disc of Beethoven String Quartets, and in this repertoire the ABQ are difficult to surpass. One might even be tempted to nitpick and say that perhaps they are a tad too smooth and accomplished so polished are they in their pursuit of technical perfection. The ...             Great Conductors of the Third Reich: Art in the Service of Evil6 reviews Leo Blech, Karl Böhm Bel Canto Society, 2005 Breaks my heart; beauty does not equal truth or goodness. 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.' This DVD will prove that Keats was mistaken. Some of the selections on this DVD are among the most beautiful and exciting performances of some of the greatest music ever written. Yet this beauty did not produce truth nor did it generate goodness. That the Nazis treasured Beethoven and ...             Carlos Kleiber - Beethoven Coriolan Overture, Brahms Symphony No. 4, Mozart Symphony No. 33, Munich6 reviews Kleiber, Beethoven Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 One of Carlos Kleiber's last concerts This is one of Carlos Kleiber's last concerts, filmed live in 1996 in the Herkulesalle, in Munich. Kleiber looks more elderly and frail (he was just 66) than he did in the 1983 Beethoven Symphonies 4,7 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra (Philips DVD), or the 1991 Brahms Symphony 2 (Philips DVD) also in late 2004. There is a special sense of occasion here:the orchestra and audience clearly love ...             Beethoven: String Quartets 1 - Alban Berg Quartet4 reviews Beethoven, Alban Quartet Berg EMI Classics, 2006 THE AWESOME ABQ TRIUMPHANTLY 'RE-STARTS' BEETHOVEN'S STRING QUARTETS, LIVE!

Gunter Pichler and Gerhard Schulz are on 1st and 2nd violins, respectively; Valentine Erben is on cello; and the late Thomas Kakuska is on viola. It is wonderful ...             Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven: The First Annual Camp Out Live at Pappy and Harriet's P3 reviews Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven Eclectic DVD Dist., 2007 Good not great I bought this because I'm a sucker for Cracker and CVB, and I used to hang out at Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. This is a pretty good video, but it's definitely got a home-grown feel to it, which can be construed as unprofessional. I don't consider it unprofessional, just simple. I liked the combo of performances, although I would have loved more of CVB and Cracker. This is ...             Carlos Kleiber - Beethoven Symphonies 4 and 710 reviews Kleiber, Beethoven Philips, 2005 Great 4th and Kleiber's best Beethoven 7th. This is a very long waited DVD by all those who knew the Laser Disc with this same performances filmed live in the Dutch Concertgebouw in the `80s.
