The *COMPLETE* version of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.
One of the best renditions in the world. Excellent sound quality.
Ludwig van Beethoven
7th Symphony, Full version
• Beethoven - 7th Sympho...
Thank you for watching this symphony...
Symphony No. 7 in A major (Opus 92) is a composition reflecting Beethoven's unparalleled wisdom. Beethoven began writing Symphony No. 7 in 1811 and completed it in 1812. He took his time to create something totally amazing, and this remains one of the best music ever written. This is the moment when we identify a modern stage in the composer's creation, where classical elements intertwine with romantic ones, thus generating a new expression far more intimate and more complex.
Movement I (Vivace)
The first movement starts with a long, expanded introduction marked "poco sustention", showing a solemn and majestic character. On the rhythmical background we hear the fine motif. This first part brings many new elements, easy to decipher, because the composer achieved perfection through sound. Here, we see Beethoven's distinctive use of rhythm and pioneering sense of key relationships.
Movement II (Allegretto)
The second movement is perhaps the most expressive part of this symphony. This movement was encored at the premiere and has remained popular since. It begins with the main melody played by the violas and cellos. The melody is then played by the second violins while the violas and cellos play a different melody which is equally important, described by George Grover as "a string of beauties hand-in-hand". While in the first movement the A major sonorities conferred greatness and sumptuousness, the theme in Movement II, in A minor, brings a whole new atmosphere, thus emphasizing the contrast between the two.
Movement III (Presto)
The third movement represents a splendid triumph in rendering the scherzo form. As a whole, it conveys a genuine bucolic scene with pictorial meanings and associations. With this (meno presto assai) in trio, the composer uses a theme from an Austrian folkloric song, the theme of which had been jotted down while Beethoven was in Teplitz.
Movement IIII (Allegro)
The fourth movement emanates an immense joy from beginning to the end (allegro con brio). It is a whole series of images, full of energy and pleasure of life. This last movement is in sonata form, the coda of which contains an example of the dynamic marking ƒƒƒ (called forte fortissimo or fortississimo). Listening to this symphony's grand finale one can hardly decide what to think more astonishing: Beethoven's amazing creative fantasy, the impeccable form, the amazing talent in using all the musical resources in developing the themes, or his compact, luscious, sumptuous instrumentation.

Dear RUclips, interrumping Beethoven with your ads is a smack against art and good taste
Aleksej Orolicki Sorry for being 1 year late, It’s just i gotta get my weekly dose of beethoven; There’s no adblock for mobile phones tho.
@@troopx Then use ad free version of youtube or go for youtube vanced which is free.
@@troopx You can go a whole week without Beethoven?
Tim Haines Ok
Actually in the matter of fact obtica (creator of this video) put ad on this video, not RUclips.
I came here to finish my homework
Spent the whole 40 minutes air conducting
I can totally relate to this!

ECCCCCKKKKKSSSS DEEEEEEEE XD XD XP HAHAHAH!!!!
Came here to backup and format my computer and the same thing just happened.

You know anyone who loves music and says they dont like classical dont actually know music at all
Beethoven’s 5th 7th and 9th are inconceivably spectacular for 2020, imagine hearing them in the 1800’s.
Don’t forget his violin concerto opus 61! A masterpiece!
You forgot his most powerfull one : The No.3 ''Eroica'' ( elected to be the best symphony ever written )
Personally, I find the 5th to be amazing, but compared to the No. 3 and No.7 ... it just live in the shade of those masterpieces ( again, its only my opinion).
I’d add the 3rd to your list
You forgot 3rd an 6th too
Don't forget 4th and 10th
The best part is 0:00 - 41:47
I dunno my favorite part was 0:00-41:47
You guys have bad taste in music... 0:00 - 41:47 is the real deal!
I never understood meme used in comments! XD 💯😂👌💯
Hey! I don't have that bit. Oh wait, my Internet is down.
vesteel you don't know what you speak now! this sinfonie is fantastic
This was composed by a near-deaf man, centuries ago, when there was no electricity, under candlelight..... now think about it.
+Miguel Batista It's miraculous!
Maybe he made it because of all these conditions.
Maybe he made it because of all these conditions.
+Miguel Batista He was fully-deaf by his third symphony, friend!

In my humble opinion, the greatest composition Beethoven has ever composed.
That second movement …..Absolutely sublime!
Beethoven said that during its (7th) premiere
same here man, absalutely wonderful composing, brings a tear to my eye
"You can dedicate your entire life to composition and mastering written music, but you'll never be as good as some deaf German guy."
Wow thanks for the encouraging response I will just go quit music now
@@edpatch2778 Haha. Don't try to be as good as Beethoven, try to be better than you currently are. It's what I do.
lol the arrogance....
Is there anyone that can compose great music like this alive today? There is a lot of music forms I like but there is nothing, NOTHING! that compares to this.
@@danielturner9832 I'm sure there is, but we won't hear about them or appreciate their music until they're gone. Many classical composers only became famous post-mortem
The second movement has to be one of the most sublime pieces of classical music ever written.Moves me to tears every time I hear it played.
Yeah. Kinda never ceases to freak me out a bit too every time. I just love it!
What about the 4th
It's not classical, in fact it's Romantic. But it DOESN'T leave being, as you said, one of the most sublime pieces in the music's history. This guy was a punk for his time. Stop to performing in the high elites for recreating them and playing for themselves (artists) with creative freedom and turning their feelings into something were the most important issues from the Romantiscism in (all) Arts.
@@MrDarbol Classical music is the term generally used for any orchestral music, generally not including movie scores, but not always. And Beethoven wasn't really in tye Romantic era. His music was often very Romantic, but he was really a hybrid between Classical and Romantic. So it is classical music, even if you don't consider it Classical Era music.
It is so beautiful. You see Elgar? That is how you take a theme and use it you hack
Now this is the real musician compared what we got today.
Of course, there is not music today
I. Poco sostenuto - Vivace (00:00)
II. Allegretto (14:42)
III. Presto (23:40)
IV. Allegro con brio (32:56)
Thanks
Merci d’avoir donné ces précisions, suivre une symphonie quand on n’est pas musicien est tellement difficile, vous m’aidez beaucoup !

Mine too
when I was growing up I shared a bedroom with my two older brothers - I had a headboard where I could have a radio which was tuned to WCRB a classical music station in Boston - at times, I would wake up in the middle of the night and during the night the signal would be pretty clear - I would hear piano concertos and masterful symphony's like this one - it's strange how memories can flood into the present just by listening to, even, one or two notes from one of these most memorable musical masterpieces - have never stopped loving the greatest musical compositions in the history of mankind - that was between the '40's and '50's which seems like light years ago, sometimes - nostalgia is a wonderful thing
May i reccomend Machine Gun Kelly. very similar style i think you'll like it
Bashar just sent me here, they said the chords are perfect for healing your past and letting go. Be in a comfortable repose and listen
The second movement is Paradise.
The 13th Wizard They're nice right?
The 13th Wizard Damn right.
IMPERIUM Thank you. Is absolutely one of the best pieces ever written.
+Ludwig Van Beethoven The fourth movement tho, that's paradise lost?
PizzatheHutt Is all up to the listener.
The 2nd movement is divine. Moves me every time.
+Tanwisha Chaudhuri that's why it's called a MOVEment.
Well said!
Literally its my favorite movement out of the whole piece. it fits me so well. its me.
@Carlos Saraiva also from the movie Knowing : ruclips.net/video/CkC6OKBYVLI/видео.html
When we first practiced this piece in high school orchestra, I told the conductor that the 2nd reminded me of the durge they played at JFK's funeral. The rhythm and chords were similar, and the feeling of sorrow flowed in both. Love this forever!
Never heard this symphony before,. I never thought I could Love Beethoven more. Ludwig, YOU'RE NUMBER 1 FOR ME!!!!
This is my second favorite Beethoven symphony behind his 5th. I don't think his 7th has ever gotten the credit it deserves.
Did you listen to his 6th symphony - The Pastoral?
Listen to the first movement, at least. It’s beyond sublime.
Well
Allegretto (the second movement of the 7th symphony) gets plenty of credit. . . . .and by credit I mean popularity, even gets its own arrangements
Having performed both as part of an orchestra (violin) the 7th was always more "work", especially the 4th movement:) In background cinema/tv scores I hear the 7th used more than the 5th but usually it is variations on the 2nd movement. Could also be what I watch.
The second movement is so achingly beautiful. It drives me to tears, no matter how many times I experience it. Beethoven will always be my first love.
I think every movement is absolutely beautiful.
Beethoven and Bach... Of course!
It's pure simplicity is just the pure essence of Ludwig , at his finest ! Don't question or anything. Just let it wash over you and transport you to wherever ! Von Karajan's recording is superb as well ! MOST superb !
@@rogerioabel Comparing Beethoven to Bach! Egregious! Everything written in the Baroque era is better than anything written by Beethoven, who, incidentally, was an arrogant asshole, too.
I re.ember this movement in the science fiction film "Zardoz". It starred Sean Connery.
who cares if a movie brought someone here. the fact that they now have heard what a genius can write that is what is important. so MORE movies need to feature classical music in my opinion
jnbrown62 or the Looney tunes, you know. ..
I LOVE also to listen to reruns of the Lone Ranger. At LEAST the opening and closing credits.
Zardoz, anyone?
PRAISE BE TO ZARDOZ! THE GUN IS GOOD! THE PENIS IS EVIL!
As long as there are no people who believe that the music is from the movie and not a masterpiece of Beethoven.
Everybody loves to talk about the second movement but the first movement gives me goosebumps. I max my speakers out with it.
The opening is astonishing as is his way. WAKE UP! he says and then gets to it.
When I listen to Beethoven, the memories of Germany come flooding back to me. No ads please!
Was not in a good place emotionally or spiritually when this evening started. Listened to the full 7th and I am now revitalized!! Only Beethoven can affect me this way.
it stimulates your higher chakras
Beethoven’s the best for Heroic Symphonies. The battle and the triumph.
I really need some friends that enjoy classical music as much as I do 😔
Sandra Sanchh Me, too :/
Saaaame
You got one right here. Me. I only listen to classical music, ballet, and opera. Nothing else. Happy there's someone out there that's like me.

Me 2 😔
Imaginate viviendo en 1812,y solo puedes oir esta maravilla una sola vez en tu vida.
Some people don’t realise how lucky they are to live in times where you have access to all music with a click
This was the favorite piece of music of a deceased friend- I was thinking of him so I put it on.
That's beautiful

There is a place in Beethoven's heart , where the notes are born and raised , and by the time they grow up , each one carries it's own bag of emotions and jumps into sheets out of turn , creating complex eternal pieces

“Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.” Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven's music makes my soul dance!
The third movement of Beethoven's seventh symphony, the fifth movement of his Pastoral Symphony, and the third movement of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony are the best pieces of music I have ever listened to.
I'll take them all!❤
I was listening to this to go to sleep, and I suddenly started crying around the 17:00 minute mark, it’s just such a beautiful song
For me Symphony no. 7 is the best Beethoven's composition . Incredible!!!!
How about numbers 3, 5, 6 and 9th symphonies? Yes you are right. It's definitely one of the best Beethoven's ever written.
Jonathan Ehrlich
I love this one, indeed, it is soooo very subtle in it's absolute beauty. My other all-time fave HAS GOT to be the Pastoral, 6. The entire trip he journeyed out into the country and actually composed a thunderstorm! A THUNDERSTORM orchestrated! Nobody but the power of Beethoven could have accomplished THAT!
MrDBarch
Hi +Mr.DBarch. I'm very happy to hear that you like this one and the 6th as well.
Do you also enjoy listening to his 9th Symphony too?
Jonathan Ehrlich
I am moved emotionally most by the 7th and the 6th. I listen to the others occasionally, but there is a special place in my heart for the 6th and the 7th. I think the 6th and 7th expose LVB's technical and artistic genuis the most. That, of course, is a matter of opinion at best, but I would be willing to debate it; being a composer myself.... :)
MrDBarch I also really love Beethoven's 6th symphony, I think it is one of his best symphonies.
Definitely in the running for one of my favorite classical pieces of all time. The 5th and the 9th get so much attention, but this one is just breathtaking. His genius shines through so clearly.
***** That's right. I'm myself (orchestral conductor) trying to remember 2nd or 3rd of Beethoven's 2nd symphony, and can't.
5th and 9th are definitely still his best. The 9th is often considered the greatest work every written.
+Covellechi *ever
Yes, this is my favorite. The dark second movement makes the piece. It is so powerful.
Covellechi, perhaps. I'm really not interested in claiming one is greater than another. All I'm saying is this is a monumental piece of work and that I appreciate it very much.
Everybody says that their favorite Beethoven's symphony is the 5th or the 9th. But this one is my favorite.
Honestly one of my favorite pieces by Beethoven... His whole musical career blows me away, but this piece seems to be in complete defiance to those who tried to say his work was impossible because of his disability. Throughout all of their naysaying, he held his head high and created some of the most BEAUTIFUL music ever written! Truly amazing and truly gifted....
Era surdo
second movement. ..lush, brooding, moving.
I have never heard a single piece of music in my life that equals that movement. Maybe this is maudlin, but I have asked to have this movement played at my funeral (not for a long time, I hope,) in lieu of any words from a clergyman. No human could ever speak that much truth in a few minutes.
Least of all, a clergyman.

The first time I heard the 2nd movement of this symphony I was 14 and, as usual, watching an Italian movie on TV. This one, about Rossini, had a scene in which Rossini, a popular composer of comic operas at the time, visits Beethoven in Vienna. As he walks up the stairs to the great composer's flat, the opening, chords of the 2nd movement began and continued as Rossini climbed the stairs. They were played with perhaps unusual slowness and, to my young ears then, melancholy. But I was entranced, as Rossini and I waited for the door to open, and the great man to be revealed. So did I. They talked. Rossini, who longed to be taken seriously as a composer, wondered if Beethoven had had a chance to look over the copy of the new, tragic opera he had just written and sent him -- I believe it was Othello, but I may be wrong. It was a long time ago. Yes, Beethoven said after a long pause, he had read it. He paused again, then looked at Rossini with gentle kindness (or so I took it). You have a great gift, an ability to make people joyful. That's what you should continue to do, Beethoven said in so many words. (I confess I don't remember them exactly, but that was the gist.) Rossini was disappointed, and yet consoled by Beethoven's honest, yet complimentary comment. To this day the 7th Symphony remains my favorite Beethoven symphony, especially the second movement. I'm old now. And as I listened to it, I fancied I might ask my family to play it for me one last time when the time comes.

I came to love the 6th symphony from Fantasia, as a youth, and I keep listening for others-- and The 2nd movement of the 7th symphony is mesmerizing.
Thank you for sharing this story about Rossini. I will look for the movie, as I love foreign language films.
I too have already added it to my Buybye playlist (also CYA, for backup).
Funny, I thought the same for my final play list… Beethoven should charge a fee, up there for using his music :))
The last movement of this work is Joy personified! I can never get enough of this movement.
The second movement sounds like "perfection" to me...
@@marensavino What he said.
Sounds like a Gotham city in the moonlight..
All of the symphonies sound that way to me.
and to me too!
The second Movement is one of the most beautiful masterpieces I'v ever heard, I turn the volume on the absolute MAXIMUM!
be careful or you'll end up like beethoven
Give me a pen, paper and 10 minutes. i could out do it
The 4th Movement Was on FIRE.
Every time I listen to Beethoven's music I hear something new.

@@jml-rj5re I'd call Masterpieces I and II a slight step about III and IV, but that's certainly not an insult to the two other Masterpieces by any means :P. It's just taste, in the end
Out of all of the greats Beethoven has to be my favorite.
I agree with you.
yeah
Don't be so arrogant.
Ludwig Van Beethoven narcissist
And to hear Beethoven tell it, THIS was his favorite piece. That makes it the best of the best.
The second movement is the most beautiful thing on earth... Heaven!
The first note of the second movement gives me chills, I mean, the FIRST NOTE man...
Same for me with his Ninth.
I love to listen to this type of classical music while studying and doing homework.
I agree! Me too
The most of people like the second movement, but the first, the first is incredible !
Yes. I first got interested in this symphony because of the second movement, but after listening to the whole work, I agree that the first movement is incredible. With the bright, lively and energetic theme(in A major which I consider possibly the "happiest" key) which almost makes me want to skip, I can almost see the bustling European streets of Beethoven's day, a stark contrast to the initial pathos, but also majestic beauty of the second movement.
The second half is not quite as strong, but it's still a great work as a whole.
One of Beethoven's more under-rated, and under-appreciated symphonies.
*****
I have heard it(have even played the solo clarinet part) and it's a beautiful, serene movement, but I'm not sure I really understand what you're trying to say.
Are you saying that the key of A major can sound sad? Or just calm and relaxed, not bristling with energy?
If it does achieve the former, I would first disagree as I do not consider it sad, but if it does sound that way I would argue it's more because of the adagio tempo. If you mean that the music is beautiful, soft and serene, I fully agree. :-)
Also, just in case you did not know, while the Mozart Clarinet Concerto is in fact written in A major, the second movement is actually in the key of D major.
I cannot remember the exact quote, but I actually thought it before I heard the quote, that Schubert's Trout quintet has possibly the "happiest" theme of any piece of classical music, and it is written in A major. When I listen to it, I can almost see a trout happily swimming/dancing through the water.
I also think of Mendelssohn's Fourth or "Italian" Symphony with it's bright, lively, playful and joyous opening movement, written in the key of A. And of course the energetic and rousing tarantella to finish the work, but I know there is definitely a lot of minor keys in the final movement, it may even be in A minor, quite an interesting contrast from the norm. It's quite common for a piece to begin in a minor key and end in the parallel major(that's A minor to A major, parallel keys), but very rarely if ever does it do the opposite.
I know there must be numerous other examples of "happy" pieces written in A major, but these, along with Mozart's Clarinet Concerto as you mentioned, are the one's that come immediately to my mind.
Oh, and lastly, I believe the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is actually in the key of A minor not major, it opens and closes with A minor chords played by the winds.
One of the most moving pieces of music ever written!

This is why BEETHOVEN is so highly respected by the World. The man's a Music genius!
This is my favorite Beethoven symphony, love this!

but what about the 9th?
Patrick Taylor
That's funny, I came here because of Zardoz. And I might come back to hear the 9th, after watching A Clockwork Orange. Apparently, when you're directing a movie that you want to be a real mindf*ck, you just have to dial up the old Ludwig Van.
bzert281
lovely, lovely Ludwig van
*****
I havent seen the film but its starring Sean Connery so how can it be bad? It seems to have been inspired by 'The Holy Mountain' just basing from the images i have seen.
I liked Zardoz. First saw it, was by myself; I found it at first confusing, embarrassing, disorienting and lewd, but then, it seemed to take bearings and snap into a straight story line; then it got trippy again... and then, at the end, an orgy of irony rushes in, for the kill. My first view left me wondering if, were i to see it again, would i pierce the veil and discern that it was all satire? -or not? All these are rhetorical questions, don't bother with answers. I have yet to see the movie a second time. I will report back here, when (if) I do.
Still listening in 1814!!!
1819
Just got bombed at fort McHenry
Huh amateurs. I've been listening this since 1611
Oh I’m so late listening to it in 2147
This being owns 4 of the top 10 symphonies EVER made. Best piano concerto "emperor" best violin concerto and some awesome Overtures. This 7th symphony is up there with the 9th. When I listen to Beethoven I start to believe in the alien theory.
I was able to tour and photograph Beethoven's apartment in Vienna where he compsed the 7th Symphony between 1811 and '12. They told me he was notoriously tardy on paying his rent.
Unfortunately copywriting didn't exist when Beethoven was composing masterpieces or he would have been a multi millionaire, and someone would've had to invent cd's
When I was visiting my “Austrian family” in Vienna, we were walking toward a Heuriger (?) for dinner when it was called to my attention that we were walking in front of Beethoven’s home (not open to the public) and I just stared at it and reached out to touch the handles on the double doors and began to cry. But I cry every time I hear his music. Oh, you don’t want to go to a Beethoven concert with me!!😢💦❤️
Classical music is celestial; it is a kind of projection from the Upper World.
it was also in the movie the King´s Speech. The second movement in Carl Sagan´s Cosmos. GREAT
I LOVED Carl Sagan, I bought & read all his books. I miss him. I have the original Cosmos on dvd.
No one Should Ever, EVER Disrespect Such Masterpiece.
Not Even The Darn Gen-Alpha or the Disrespectful 21st Century Would Dare to Disrespect Such a Masterpiece.
you do realize classical pieces are resurrecting more with gen z and alpha, right? kids love classical music
A 5ª, 7ª e 9ª Sinfonia, mostrou um Beethoven Iluminado pela luz Divina, tal é a beleza e esplendor das melodias através de um homem que simplesmente está totalmente surdo. Não há como não ficar extasiado e elevado ao infinito, com todas as obras executadas por ESSA LUZ DIVINA CHAMADA BEETHOVEN!!
same here man, absolutely wonderful composing, brings a tear to my eye
Beethoven is chaos and harmony. The entire Seventh denotes that. The Second Movement sublimates you poetically and sadness you appear out of nowhere. The final moment of the Fourth Movement destroys your person
Beethoven é o caos e é a harmonia. A 7a.inteira denota isso. O Segundo Movimento te sublima poeticamente e a tristeza te aparece do nada. O instante final do Quarto Movimento te destrói
Beethoven is also strength and beauty
It's a journey through hill and dale.
one of the few i can sit all the way through
That's unfortunate.
why, don't u like this piece. philistine...
probably means its unfortunate that youre one of the few who can sit through this entire piece
:D
The greatest composer ever
It's my Favourite Symphony of HIM
2024 the 18th of April
My favorite symphony of the great Ludwig van.... No question!
I have listened to Beethoven's 7th probably a thousand times--and never grew tired of it. I once heard it live at a concert hall in Ft. Wayne, Indiana--one thing I could not do is sit still like everyone else that appeared to have super glue on their seats and armrests! How can you not move inside and out hearing this majestic, soul-stirring symphony? You can't!
Beethoven.... what can you say. All nine of his symphonies are gems, are masterpieces. This is true of no other composer!
I really enjoy how Beethoven's 7th was featured in 'The King's Speech', a wonderful film.
I love all Beethoven symphonies but this is my all around favorite., thank you Ludwig~!
Movement II (Allegretto) : It immerses you in you're feeling
I can still today remember when I came at the theater when he release the 7th symphony, people getting mad of this beautiful music, crying at the end with a huge standing-ovation... those were great times, best years of my life, this symphony is timeless.
You must be very old.This symphony was "released" two hundred years ago.
what is wrong with you seriously?
Wow, calm down guys, it's was a little joke...
Beethoven: I wrote a full symphony with four excellently composed movements.
Joe the average listener: Oh, the second movement was good.
Beethoven: What about the first?
Joe: *Eyes start darting back and forth*
Beethoven: ...or the third...?
Joe: *Breathing becomes heavier, eyes continue to dart back and forth looking for an exit*
Beethoven: ...certainly you must have enjoyed the triumphant fourth movement?
Joe: *sweating profusely, heart racing and still desperately trying to find an escape*
Beethoven: Are you deaf or something? Answer the question!
Joe: *Screams incoherently, and jumps through the recently perceived window.*
Don't hate on Joe, he just can't express what he knows. It's like asking a child what they like about their favorite book.
Do you think a kid would be able to tell you about the plot or character development or dialogue? They know what they enjoyed about it, but they can't articulate it simply because they haven't learned what is required to be able to express it. If average Joe knew more about the language of music, and how people communicate it, he will be able tell you what he enjoyed
The more I listen to this the more I fall in love with it 😍
il 2 movimento e' l'espressione di una genialita eccelsa ti trasporta in un vortico di emozioni che ti rapiscoono e ti trasportano sulle note di una sinfonia paradisiaca
Beethoven is the best composer of all time.
Every symphony of his works is a universe.貝多芬的每首交響曲都自成一個宇宙。
After all the time still a piece written by someone dealing with big emotions.
I still feel his heart in it !
This was a wonderful rendition though I couldn't help thinking throughout the entire symphony, "I'd really like to hear more cowbell."
If it's cowbell you want, Mahler has some in his Symphonies.
lmfao I love you.
Who are you referring to?
MORE COWBELL!
That's the genius of Beethoven: you have to listen to the Cowbell that's NOT being played.
(there it is, Buraz - the funniest thing you'll every type, and no one will ever read it)
Beethoven - 7th Symphony for ever!
The second movement is truly a work of art. The pattern of sounds is so... thought provoking, something about is so beautiful, in many ways beyond description.
3:35 I am amazed every time I listen how this sequence of little melodic and rhythmic figures sets in motion the titanic sound wave of the first movement. This work is Beethoven at his most imaginative, stylish, and musically compelling. Music bursting with unbounded energy and joy, tinged with a far-off melancholy. Beethoven at his sexiest.
It doesn't matter what brought you here, it matters only what kept you, devine music
The second movement at 14:42 is one of the most beautiful, moving sad music I ever heard
"Plotting music, I need plotting music.."
If u know what I'm saying....U've earned my respect.
Beethoven was diagnosed with Tinnitus at age 28. That means he wrote basically all of his symphonies and most of his work with a constant ringing in his ears. He was also completely deaf by 1812. He wrote this, the 8th, and what I think is the greatest piece of music every put to pen, his 9th symphony, while completely deaf with a constant ringing in his ears.
This piece and especially his 9th are amazing pieces but you haven't heard the 9th until you hear it live with an orchestra. My mother was a violinist so I've heard countless pieces, including most of his symphonies live. There's no comparison to listening to Beethoven live.
Beethoven was ahead of his time.
There are some classical compositions that will be admired and adored forever. And the 2nd movement of this symphony is one of them. So beautiful, powerful, expressive... total masterpiece. When I hear those strings at the beginning of it, tears automatically come into my eyes. I just can't help myself.
Beethoven nos deixou essas maravilhosas obras dignas de toda a admiração e respeito.A mais pura música que já houve em todos os tempos.
same here man, absalutely wonderful composing, brings a tear to my eye
The second movement of his 7th symphony is truly amazing sadly composers of his kind are long gone but hopefully never forgotten true musical genius and his kind will never been seen again sadly .
Today I am sad. I have finally listened to this enough that it no longer brings me to tears. I wish I could cry about that
Try the 3rd
It is a distraction to argue about whether this is the greatest symphony, let alone the greatest piece of music. It certainly is a superlative piece. Then again, so is Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, Mendelsohn's Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto, and so is Chopin's Heroic Polonaise Opus 53) and so is Mozart's 40th Symphony, as is Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachmusic, as is Debussy's Claire de Lune, as is Beethoven''s Moonlight, Pathetique, Appassionata, and opus 109 sonatas, and so is the meditative ultra simple Spielgel Im Spiegel by Arvo Part
+Marty Nemko Do you not like Pachelbel's Canon? Bach? Handel? So much wonderful music and so little time!
+Marty Nemko These people forget how many "superlative" pieces of music exist.... but I agree.. this is a distraction from the true point... whatever it may be... anyway i don't necessarily agree on the word superlative... as that is a construct of our times, these were not necessarily superlative to the sound of me in the bathroom after a long night of partying on the superlative of anything you can imagine :)... Anyway, his (Beethoven's) music is truly representative of the Human soul, [as are many countless other pieces that 'Her Miastro' could't possibly list without help] and to that, there is no "superlative"
nah fam mozart requiem is sum g shit
It is self-evident, and it doesn't need to be proven or deconstructed, however, that this superlative work, is among the _most_ superlative..... LvB represents the best of a vanished Kultur's artists. And, LvB's 7th is often considered among his half-dozen most superlative works. Consider a respected and erudite musical thinker ... Donald Tovey, and his thoughts on LVB's unique genius.....LvB is on a very short list that includes Shakespeare - - The Beethoven of literature ...)
I was in need of such suggestions of good symphonies, thank you.
Beethoven ist immer wunderbar.
Den kann man sich immer anhören!

The agony, and then ... resurrection, as always perfectly expressed.
14:42 is where it's at. I cry every time I listen to it.
Michaela Eng Me too..
Michaela Eng Without a doubt string perfection. Play on loop at higher than healthy volumes.
excuse me?
+Michaela Eng HE SAID PUZSY!
Michaela Eng me too
My late father used to play Beethoven’s symphonies a lot when I was young... listening to Soundgarden (a grunge rock band with complex alternative tuning compositions and time signatures) made me appreciate Beethoven’s work even more!
My day only ends if I hear a beautiful symphony like this.
We can imagine moments of amazing revelation and the gift of wonder LVB graces our souls with, well, is beyond the limits of comprehension. The creative fire and discipline to bring this high art to our ears is unmatched. While LVB gave J.S.Bach the credit of being the "grandfather of music", LVB gives us his miraculous love, in music and and transcends the medium of harmony to allow us experience his exceptional view of human emotional depth and spirit. His brilliant command of the elements of symphony, key usage, arranging, melody, contrast - well, Beethoven is a rare human being never to be underestimated. I am forever grateful for the profound inspiration and the graceful delivery of brilliance by LVB, JSB, and the likes. Symphony number 7 is something special (like time travel?). Great sound, orchestra, direction, & recording - Thank you for posting obtica1.
+Nelson Jenstad fine tribute to a great artist.
I never thought I could listen to a 40 minute piece outside of a concert hall in one sitting. I was wrong.
OMG MIKEYPOO I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
THE FEELING'S MUTUAL
Bravissimo
All Beethoven's symphonies are great!
Including no.2 and 4, though seldom mentioned.
No one cares about the 4th bro
