Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.

The finale of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major, opus 36 is titled "Allegro molto." That means that the piece is supposed to be played "very fast," but the core meaning of "Allegro" in Italian is "lively, cheerful, brisk."
It's a piece that is in fact burgeoning with energy and the joy of life, particularly in this interpretation by Paavo Järvi, leading the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. The movement begins with a boisterous and bumpy little motif. It seems like a hiccup, yet it's actually the main theme of everything that to come. As the music proceeds, graceful, gliding sections alternate with sudden muscular surges before it all ends on a laughing note.
Beethoven's Second Symphony is not on the same scale as the big, revolutionary Third Symphony, but it does show Beethoven flexing his musical muscles and clearly having a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.
