I write music. I play guitar, I played piano. Music theory is too deep for any one person to grasp. I love Rock and Roll and new Country, Jazz and all developed music. Bach, Mozart the list goes on and on. The Blues, all of it, from St. Louis to the Crossroads is just incredible, however; this is beyond graduate level development of a single theme and it is why Beethoven was the greatest composer of all time. Just the most incredible... stuff. Hearing this once makes a life worth living. Thank you God for putting this most gifted, tortured, human being on the earth, he has touched all of us, even if we don't know it.
I love this Symphony, but especially this movement. It is so beautiful and emotional, it's beyond me how anyone could conduct it without weeping. The way the ostinato and main theme constantly move back and forth between the sections, it is a testimony to LVBs genius. And it is still stirring hearts almost 210 years after it was composed.
I couldn't resist being extremely emotional, and nearly burst into tears while listening to one of Beethoven's the most beautiful works, which was played students at The Royal College of Music in London yesterday.👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
@@thaobenn6339 This piece is reminiscent of the end of the earth times.... That's why it's so gut wrenching. It was used in the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Keneau Reeves. I get what you feel there.
Recently I was listening to this magnificent piece on the plane when landing in Munich. It was truly an incredible and unforgettable emotion that I experienced as the culmination of the music coincided with the plane’s touching the ground...
It's hard not to shed a tear when transported by this otherworldly piece! A similar vibe to Camille Saint Saens Aquarium , Carnival of the animals but different. A fantastical world.Weirdly melancholic, dark but beautiful conjuring imagery in the mind's imagination beyond most modern forms of media entertainment.
This movement is the best piece any one could have ever written!! Beethoven was a genius. It is so beautiful, soft, powerful, and the story the music tells is fantastic. my heart open wide when i listen.
I like how of all the conductors I've watched do this piece, this one gives the most space for the orchestra to breathe and listen to each other. You don't have to shape every line. Cue entrances, dynamics, and lead rhythmic motion.
Godfrey Francesco I'm literally in tears by 45 seconds. I didn't even last a minute watching his conducting, and how the bass section cut off and you felt that slight breath. I listen to this song, often going for Bernstein. But this is amazing as well.
Godfrey Francesco Yes, I think that's it! That's why I like this interpretation so much. There is enough space for the structure to be appreciated and understood. The beauty is an emergent property of the composition when played this clearly and organically. This is stroke-of-genius conducting
I have been listening to this one all this week and tonight finally checked Bernstein. This felt faster after Bernstein but I think I will measure it... Yes this is something!!!I will try to report my findings.
Aren't we lucky we were born after this... no words to describe... wonderful symphony was composed? And now we can put it on 'repeat' and run with it, eat with eat, sleep with it... joy in the music!🎉
My favorite slow movement of any symphony. I saw Zubin Meta lead this piece as a guest conductor for the New York Philharmonic about 40 years ago and it blew me away. What a great piece led by a great conductor.
I feel like I was singing this before I ever heard it. Beethoven connected to a thread throughout time and hung on. This piece always existed, Beethoven discovered it through master craftsmanship. One of humanity's finest productions.
i’ve yet to find a piece that captures the tragic, but oh so beautiful, fate of humanity so perfectly. If you are moved to tears at any point during this movement, that’s your soul connecting with the human condition.
2:30 going into 2:35 where the decrescendo begins, it feels like you're at a dance and you've just stepped onto the balcony. The music is softer, but still has the same energy, the same underlying intensity. Absolutely stunning.
The greatest thing of this is a society that can afford it. I am watching and listening for free. I paid nothing. God Bless America. Land of Hope and Glory. How shall we extol thee?
This is such a unique piece of music. It’s very calming. Lay down and listen to it with your eyes closed and you’ll find your breathes slow down and you feel more calm. It’s a great piece of music! Thank you Beethoven!
Con Beethoven no todo está dicho, siempre subyace un dolor no demostrado, inconcluso , es el destino quién tiene la última palabra sobre nuestros pobres deseos, magistral ,eterno.
Wagner called the 2nd movement the Apotheosis of the dance. For me, the first ninety seconds and towards the end is the most physically, mentally and spiritually stimulating, goose bump chills piece of music written by any composer.
The bassoon is the most unappreciated instrument on planet earth! I've loved the beauty of this instrument all of my life! Complex, sincere, and beautiful!
I truly believe that just by listening to such music you are getting purified and clean and filter yourself to keep the goodness and get rid of all bad stuff. You CAN be a better person by absorbing such an incredible and giant music pieces.
I just love this one so much..It is so hunting..They used it in "The King's Speech." Thank you. Absolutely beautiful.. The brilliance of "Beethoven" that way deaf. He wrote so many beautiful things that will last for ever.
Many classical composers never knew they were writing movie soundtracks. Nor did they know they were writing music for cartoons with Bugs Bunny and the like (often used because no copyright fee involved).
@@trainliker100 György Ligeti knew of course that he had written part of the soundtracks for "2001" and "Shining"; Stanley Kubrick just hadn't asked him, though, and Ligeti was angry.
It reminds me of Beethoven's dogged determination to continue with his music despite his physical challenges..A lesson for us all to continue on regardless.🤔
I always describe this piece as a metal moment in classical music! One of my top faves! I play double bass and regret being unable to play when the local symphony played this...
É com certeza uma das mais belas musicas de todos os tempos. Se não A mais bela... É o Espírito Absoluto se Revelando na História. Simplesmente lindíssima...Ouro puro...
I’ve been a classical music lover for over 60 years…everything Mozart, Schubert, Vivaldi, Bach etc…so much to love but, by far, my favorite is Beethoven! Just listening to this 7th Sym. adagio, the 9th chorale final movement and the 5th piano concerto says it all❣️
I've listened to this since Highschool. It was one of the driving factors I pursued music into College for a degree. The emotion in this is so strong. This particular rendition is a little rushed for my liking but it hits the right parts perfect from a technical standpoint. Like someone below me said, I have no idea how someone can conduct this without weeping.
I get way too emotional listening to this masterpiece. Two years ago a young man commited suicide in front of me and the painful images of the tragic event and LVB's music are inseparable in my memory. The man jumped from the 4th floor of a building I was standing by, having a chat with a relative of mine. A young girl who turned out to be the sister of the the man was also there and saw the tragic scene. I tried to help but his condition was too bad and he died in my arms in a couple of minutes. When these memories come again and again I always hear this music inside my head while reliving the whole situation. At the climax (@2:07) each and every time I "see" the screaming girl and in my memories everything happens in slow motion, it is almost as slideshow with still images. I really hope this girl managed to recover as much as possible from this awful psychological trauma and huge personal loss.
@@JWillM it's your right to believe or not. I have no reason to lie about this. I just needed to share this with someone because the weight of this memory is far too painfull for me to carry alone. To be honest I don't care if someone believes it or not, writing it down already made me feel a lot less bad about this event. I wish you all the best and please don't ignore any sign of depression - be it in you or your loved ones.
I've heard the theme of this movement described as triumph over great struggle. Framed that way, perhaps it might be a more hopeful listen rather than just tragic...
Beautiful performance. One of the most perfect work of Beethoven in terms of the design of a music with exceptional skills in arranging a set of different combinations of notes where i cannot imagine any particular feelings such as joy, sorrow or anything else and i wonder with which mood he created this fantastic movements.
Hmmm... Maybe? It's just that I watched this film about him where he's portrayed beautifully by Gary Oldman, and from what I understood he was deaf when he composed this. But you can't always trust what they say in films.
Weirdly I came across this playing a computer game. I'd heard it and love classical but it certainly became my favourite after hearing it so many times. It is what it is. Beautiful symphony all round.
The crescendo took residency in my mind rent free for a full week and a half, imagine working, welding, fully cut off from the world, focused calmly on the weld pool then suddenly. BAM BA De Dom DA...
Something about this Second Movement makes me reflect on the horrific yet beautiful history of the entire human race, from the beginning until present day. I get chills every single time around the 2 minute mark.
O segundo movimento da sétima sinfonia de Beethoven; o segundo movimento do concerto número 20 para piano e orquestra de Mozart; ambos têm caráter divino, transcendem tudo o que foi escrito musicalmente ao longo dos séculos!!! Deus permitiu que eles tivessem acesso ao Paraíso para captarem tais melodias…
The triumph of human freedom over adversity. Beethoven influenced under the ideas of Goethe, Kant, Schiller, and Fichte believed in an optimistic future for Europe and humankind. Europe was changing. The old political and economic European structures were changing. A new horizon of optimism threatened to undo the old order. Beethoven music was higher than all philosophy and wisdom. Beethoven was the man who freed music. This Symphony No.7 in A major op. 92 Allegreto is an hymn of hope and liberty written for the eternity.
There's something haunting, profound, historic in this movement of the 7th symphony. One of the best pieces of Western classical music I've heard.
If you like this, you should check out "Fantasia (or Fantasy?) on a Theme by Thomas Thallis" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Absolutely prophetic take on it. This version goes right to the heart of it. Thanks, for your post!

rcde2 amazing also how this was composed in a time before computers and playbacks etc.
rcde2 it is legitimately the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
I concur, he was the greatest ever. I've listened to this hundreds of times and it never gets old, it's always fresh and emotionally affecting.

Zeus?
There is no god
And Zubin Mehta
Amo esta Sinfonía, " me transporta" al cielo . Gracias Beethoven
The Tears for Humanity & Freedom 🌿🌿🌿 Thank You King George Thank You Beethoven
I consider this the best thing Beethoven ever composed.
His 5th symphony and 5th piano concerto also displays his uncomparable musical genius.
Beethoven ist der absolute Ausdruck menschlicher Empfindungen. Er ist das alpha und das omega der Musik. Ich liebe seine Musik.

This movement is 50% of itself at best without the space and breath. That could be argued of any piece of music of course, but for this.....so crucial
one of my favourite pieces of music!
Aren't we lucky we were born after this... no words to describe... wonderful symphony was composed? And now we can put it on 'repeat' and run with it, eat with eat, sleep with it... joy in the music!🎉
I remember this piece being played at the end of my favorite movie of all time: The King’s Speech. That’s what brought me here
This beautiful music stirs so many emotions in me it is a combination of peace hope and majesty thank you Beethoven

"Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Thallis" by Ralph Vaughan Williams?
@@markcarson9023yes
Beethoven draws the flower from his garden and breaths this into my soul... Fm a symphony violist
I don't study music but this is by far one of my favourite symphonies.
2:30 going into 2:35 where the decrescendo begins, it feels like you're at a dance and you've just stepped onto the balcony. The music is softer, but still has the same energy, the same underlying intensity. Absolutely stunning.
2.35 - 2.45
Ur right. That switch took my breath away.
this piece encompasses such a wide range of emotions. it moves me. absolutely timeless
A superb rendition. Full of the reverence and sensitivity this masterpiece deserves. I'm sure Ludwig would approve.
The greatest thing of this is a society that can afford it.
I am watching and listening for free. I paid nothing.
God Bless America.
Land of Hope and Glory. How shall we extol thee?
Love how it sounds so peaceful, yet something threatening lurks below the surface.
LOVE how the voices play a fugal "hot potato" and pass around the subject/melody. so cool!
This is such a unique piece of music. It’s very calming. Lay down and listen to it with your eyes closed and you’ll find your breathes slow down and you feel more calm. It’s a great piece of music! Thank you Beethoven!

Isn't it amazing how Beethoven composed this as he was deaf. What an incredible musician, what a mind!
Well, he didn't write this movement when deaf, he still heard , he was deaf when he composed the ninth, wasn't he?
Hmmm... Maybe? It's just that I watched this film about him where he's portrayed beautifully by Gary Oldman, and from what I understood he was deaf when he composed this. But you can't always trust what they say in films.
