5.0 out of 5 stars Beethoven's 'Eroica' Elucidated, 14 Aug 2007
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the second in a series of six classical music documentaries, originally made in 2006 for Deutsche Welle, from Kent Nagano and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. This one features commentary about and rehearsal footage as well as a concert performance of Beethoven's Third Symphony, the 'Eroica'. The complete series will consist of similar documentaries about and performances of:

1. Mozart: Symphony No. 41, 'Jupiter'
2. Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, 'Eroica
3. Schumann: Symphony No. 3, 'Rhenish'
4. Brahms: Symphony No. 4
5. Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 (2nd version)
6. Strauss: Alpine Symphony

Unlike the first in the series where Nagano made rather general, mostly non-technical comments about Mozart's 'Jupiter' Symphony, in this one Nagano (and some of the orchestra's instrumentalists, speaking in German but with good English subtitles) make some pretty insightful comments, movement by movement, about the symphony including some degree of musical analysis. Nagano makes much of the revolutionary nature of the work. I was also struck by the comments of the horn players and a cellist about their instruments' parts in the symphony, complete with illustrations. As in the first of the series, there are clever animated segments featuring Beethoven and others saying words found in Beethoven's and others' writings (particularly those of Beethoven's student, Ferdinand Ries, a fine composer in his own right).

The performance segment takes place in Berlin's beautiful Philharmonie and is greeted with enthusiasm by the capacity audience. The videography is crystal clear but there is occasional fidgetiness in the editing. Sound is spectacular, among the best I've heard in the DVD format.

I can easily imagine this DVD and its successors being collected by libraries, schools and individual music-lovers. Their educational potential, particularly for those who are only casually familiar with classical music, is immense.

Strongly recommended for its intended audience.

Produced in 2006 in Berlin. Narration is in English with subtitles in French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. In those segments with the Berlin musicians speaking in German, English subtitles are added. Sound formats: DD 5.1, DTS 5.1, PCM Stereo. Picture format: 16:9. Running time: Performance 54 mins; Documentary 52 mins; TT 106 mins. DVD9 NTSC.
