DVD Reviews of Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphonies 4 and 5
DVD Review: The most romantic of all music
Summary: 5 Stars
Beethoven's fifth, along with his seventh and ninth symphonies are, in my opinion, the best classical music ever written, and thus Beethoven the best composer ever.Many "experts" argues that either Mozart or Bach is the best composer ever. My argument in favor of Beethoven is the following: most of the people begin to listen classical music after hearing the fifth or the ninth, and then they follow with other Beethoven's pieces. Because the law of decreasing marginal pleasure after listen the same pieces many times, people begin to explore other composers, and then they arrive to Mozart or Bach. But the lure to listen classical music most of the times is Beethoven, and thus by democracy Beethoven is the best.
Regarding this performance of the fifth by Karajan, I will not refer to the quality of the image recording nor to the camera shootings, but to the quality of the music. Karajan performs and unsurpassable emotive, strength and full of passion version of the fifth. If one reads about Beethoven's live when he wrote the fifth, one would imagine that Beethoven would play the symphony with all the strength, sentiment and passion that Karajan does. The fifth, along with the ninth, are the most romantic of all pieces, because they really express the struggle in the soul of human beings towards goodness and triumph. No other music achieve the former as these two symphonies do, and no other performer is able to express Beethoven's feeling better than Karajan.
