346 Dislikes?? Is it possible to hear such sublime music in such an inspired performance and give it the thumbs down. I despair sometimes of our spoilt generation. This is outstanding playing and singing and I love the period instruments...fine soloist in Alice Sara Ott. Brava!! xx

Unfortunately I can't see any count of the dislike-button at all. So, if it really have been 346 then I've to ask: Why aren't there more? This is the most boring performance of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy, which I've heard in my entire life. Conductor and Soloist presents the musical spirit of a coma patient to us. The score is full of dynamics, but I can't hear anything of it. Alice Sara Ott should better sell cars, than play Beethoven. And the Orchestra should be renamed from »Insula Orchestra« to Orchestra of the Age of Geriatric Decline. My gosh, this is Beethoven, not the soundtrack of an american B-Movie. The conductor obviously doesn't know the difference between dots and phrasing slures. And where the heck is her energy? That woman with the baton in her hand is a fridge. The musicians should take an example from these performances: i) kzitem.info/news/bejne/zHmptKCJhnOiZ2k (Maurizio Pollini) ii) kzitem.info/news/bejne/xImcs3xvkmeTnG0 (Martha Argerich) iii) kzitem.info/news/bejne/mXqLqXpsjZdmnGk (Hélène Grimaud)

@@amadeubrigas You are totally right. Alice Sara Ott belongs to those people and the conductor, too. But the composer loved perfection, he adored perfection. And why do we know that? Because he wrote it in his own score although he wasn't able to hear anything. As a musician I think it is our duty to give all of our respect to Ludwig van Beethoven and all of our musical ability, not to play the notes, it is our duty to play what is behind the notes. Alice Sara Ott hardly can play what is written in the score. For all people who want to get cavities in their ears that performance is brilliant.

I've loved this piece since I first heard it as a teenager in about 1984. Other Beethoven works have superseded it in my mind, but it still remains top-10. It's an underrated work, barely featuring in any discussions about Beethoven the choral composer; there, the focus is always on Missa Solemnis, the Ninth and (maybe) Fidelio. In the Chorale Fantasia, he shows his ability with piano, vocal soloists, choir and orchestra. It's a compact, complete work.

Wunderbar, diese Sara Ott. Habe die Fantasie mehrmals mitgesungen und kann diese großartige Darbietung mit ihrer Dynamik ohne die Aufführungskonzentration ergriffen genießen. Diese Geburtsverheißungen der Neunten - unüberhörbar. Wenn man dann mal das Glück hat, ganz allein in den zeitweiligen Aufenthaltsräumen Beethovens in Heiligenstadt auf den knarrenden Dielen umherzuschreiten, umfängt einen sein großer Geist, der oft so verzweifelt und einsam war. Das vermittelt Sara so glaubwürdig! Herrlich!.... und die Dirigentin ebenso !!!

je voudrais ajouter une pensée pour la tres grande chef qu'est Laurence Equilbey. Cette très belle interprétation est, avant tout à elle qu'on le doit. Sa vision gaie , sautillante, c'est son inspiration. Sa vision personnelle de l'oeuvre. Bien sûr tout l'orchestre a adhéré à cette vision. Personnellement, j'aime beaucoup une femme au pupitre. Elles ont, pour moi, une sensibilité que nous avons moins. Avec le temps, en fermant les yeux, je sais qu'une femme dirige tout comme, même déguisée en homme, je sais que c'est une femme qui danse. C'est typique. Laurence a dirigé cette Fantaisie avec sa sensibilité coutumière. A fleur de peau. Il est regretable qu'on la voie si rarement.

Well, it's been a long time since tears wet my face, but this performance, of this beautiful work, brought them on again after all these years. I sang this with a major national choir back then. Beethoven's wonderful composition excited me then, but this performance did so no less. Alice Sara is not only a fine artist, but her perennial smile engages with the audience, and helps draw them into the performance. I have sung under many fine international conductors - and one or two duds - but I wish I'd had the chance to do so under the tiny baton of one of the best: Laurence Equilbey. Then, added to those fine artists, we had the equally fine chorus, as well as the magical sound of the orchestra's period instruments. Altogether, a memorable performance that I shall Save here. Thank you, to all concerned, not least to KZitem, for delivering this into my home.

We are lucky to have heard her at her best during the last decade.

"The Fantasia was first performed at the Akademie of 22 December 1808, a benefit concert which also saw the premieres of the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies and the Fourth Piano Concerto as well as a performance of excerpts of the Mass in C major. To conclude this memorable concert program, Beethoven wanted a "brilliant finale" that would unite in a single piece the different musical elements highlighted in the concert night: piano solo, mixed chorus and orchestra. The Fantasia, Op. 80, written shortly before, was thus composed expressly to fulfil this role. Beethoven himself played the piano part and the opening solo offers an example of his improvisational style (at the premiere he did, in fact, improvise this section)"(Wikipedia) Unfortunately the concert descended into an inglorious shambles! Has anyone ever organised a reconstruction of what, as Beethoven envisaged it, would surely constitute the greatest orchestral concert in history? I for one would pay to attend such an event in honour of Beethoven's immortal legacy.
