Forgot to mention re: the silence. It was Blomstedt’s masterful keeping his arms extended and not lowering them until HE felt it was time to applaud. He conducted the audience’s silence. Bravo, Maestro.
The respect and love Maestro Blomstedt has for his musicians is unsurpassed. I was fortunate to live in San Francisco when he was the music director. I learned so much from his tenure. His Dvorak, Sibelius, Brahms and Bruckner are without peer. The world has been blessed by his music.
This concert film dates from December 31, 2015 and was recorded in the Gewandhaus concert hall in Leipzig, Germany. Herbert Blomstedt was 89 years old. 😎🎹
I'm in absolute awe. To have the privilege of experiencing this, even second hand through the wonders of technology, is truly a privilege that is priceless.
Splendiferous!! Half the fun was watching Maestro Blomstedt's facial expressions and sheer love of the music. I just read that he is 97!! How magnificent!! ❤
Amazing. Blomstedt is 97 years old. He is conducting without a score and even joins the chorus in singing!! I know he can conduct this in his sleep but still this an achievement. Just f...king amazing!!
One of my little daydreams for when the pain is breaking through is to imagine (with no visuals, I have aphantasia) going back in a time machine and giving Beethoven flawless ear transplants/implants/whatever at least so he could hear his 9'th performed with perfectly clear hearing. He deserved it. Such a troubled life brought about this music, we owe him our thanks.
@@b43xoityup. It helps them keep up with the choir without having to pay as much attention to them. Beethoven is hard without the choir. By singing in their head they can pay most of the attention to the orchestra. (My mother was a Violinist in orchestras)
Well, at the time of this filming + recording, Maestro Blomstedt was _only_ 88. I was to attend his concert conducting the NHK Symphony Orchestra in October 2023 in Tokorozawa, Japan, but he cancelled it due to ill health. He was 96 at that time, which has already surpassed Leopold Stokowski (who died at age 95) and must enter the Guinness Book.
If for some reason I could only ever listen to one piece of music for the rest of my life, it would have to be Beethoven's 9th and this superb performance. Music doesn't get any better than this. Bravo! Thank you.
Also one of the finest I've heard. Here are a couple of my favorite performances for you to compare. Beethoven "Symphony No 9" Günter Wand ruclips.net/video/iZGpfOcpO6E/видео.html Beethoven Symphony No 9 in D minor „An die Freude“ „Ode to Joy“ Zubin Mehta ruclips.net/video/Bbjc5aaeoFA/видео.html

Ode To Joy friends, we are lucky survivors, let's sing along and put end any war disputes because music unites us like a true global family, remarcable performance indeed❤🎉❤
Amazingly respectful how the German audience just maintained a total, reverential silence for many, many seconds after the final notes of the piece. To erupt in applause, as is so commonly done, just destroys the magic of Beethoven. That conduct should be the norm. We were spared the brutish “bravos” shouted by the show-off audience members wanting to show that yes, they knew the piece was over and one is expected to shout an Italian word at the top of one’s lungs.
OK, but this attitude of there being an exactly correct which-fork-do-I-use etiquette kills interest in classical music. Normal people don't want to attend a mausoleum of pristine perfection. I want to be still and let music wash over me, and not worry too much if somebody applauds between movements (which used to be MORE common). or some other minor _breach of etiquette_ occurs. The silence is nice, but the magic of a great Beethoven performance can not be killed by a Bravo, Bravi (even more pretentious!), or even a wolf whistle at the hot soprano.
I'm no pro by any means nor do I understand the singing. BUT I do like to listen at work at times. I actually attended my first concert last night...Beerhoven's Symphony 9, and felt led to look it up today on RUclips after hearing the explanation of what it was about. Listening to Ode to Joy now. But this lady seated before me last night seemed annoyed that I was humming to the lyrics...not loudly at all. I found it very stoic. You couldn't even open a candy rapper without it feeling like you were disturbing the peace. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and I agree the corpseish decorum can turn one away and make you feel like an outsider, especially if you're not knowledgeable about the etiquette.
Herbert Blomstedt is the god damn man. I'd love to play in a violin section for him. It took me a few minutes to pick up on his cues, and once I did, I could see how much he is commanding this orchestra. Good for him to have that much stamina and energy at that age. You can tell he's done this five thousand times.
I just love Beethoven, I used to rock out to Queen and Pink Floyd and now I rock out to Beethoven! I know the whole No 9 symphony by heart and joyfully sing out both the men's and women's singing parts, but I have no idea what the words are, but it makes me happy! I find myself putting this video on a loop so I can hear many times. My very favorite Beethoven symphony is No 7 Mvt 2, I can't get enough of that one. What a genius Beethoven is!
Beaucoup de relief dans ce premier mouvement qui est à la fois sombre et terrible. Le chef fait bien ressortir les contrastes et l'inquiétude générale de cet extraordinaire mouvement.
The apostle, John said that the light shines in the darkness and "the darkness comprehends it not". Beethoven is telling us passionately that we are all brothers. Stop this mindless violence and live happily in peace together!!! He wrote this when he was very nearly deaf but he was compelled to speak and he does so! So listen!!! He is imploring us to listen!!!
Eu ouço quase todos os dias as sinfonias de Beethoven particularmente a nona e estou convencido que é a mais bela sinfonia de todos os tempos inclusive pela mensagem humana. Obrigado Ludwig!
Par Exelence!!! Habe vor ca, 50 Jahren das erste Mal Gänsehaut bekommen, war die legendäre Aufnahme mit Karajan aber sonst nie wieder, bis auf diese Aufnahme. Hut ab❤
Não conhecia e passei a conhecer. Um grande maestro ( Herbert Blomstedt, um nome a fixar!) e uma grande orquestra, numa magistral interpretação da nona sinfonia de Beethoven, uma obra incontornável no repertório musical oitocentista. Parabéns ao uploader do RUclips! Vídeo de excelente - excelente! - qualidade. Para ver e rever, ouvir e voltar a ouvir. Deslumbrante!
A lovely and lovely rendition of Beethovens 9th .Shillers choral makes this Great Symphony really an immortal gift to the music lovers.Jai Beethoven!Heil Beethoven!

Thanks a million for great audio quality! When was the original performance recorded? Not so sure but it feels more like this is a celebration. It's always a great joy to discover different aspects of this greatest symphony.
The performance is magnificent, but holding back the ovations after the final chord makes no sense after this joyful, outbursting finale. Be brothers, embrace each other, feel the energy of being human. And not: sit back, hold tight, overthink...
Sublimely executed and balanced. Great performance that achieves a thorough balance and structure. Architectural and free, making justis of the classical period. delightful!
Maravilloso Concierto!!! Beethoven!!! Extraordinariamente BELLO. No puede ser que interrumpan Conciertos Sinfónicos con propaganda! Es un desproposito inadmisible!!! Por favor!!!😢😢😢
Thật đáng kinh ngạc khi cả giàn nhạc và nhạc trưởng ko lật 1 trang Nào của bản nhạc nào trước mặt họ? Tất cả đều thuộc lòng bản nhạc hơn 1h ư? Thật tuyệt vời!!!
The first two movements of this Symphony represent the burden of work on Beethovens mind that he has to finish in his left-over life,that he raises the tempo,as he knows his life is soon over.He is fatigued,so his frinds nearby put him to rest,and play some soothing music.(the adagio)And a little later the blowing of bugels and trumpets announce the end( l have quoted this allegory from what l once heated from Schnackenburg in Bremen in 1960)
Quelle chance de faire face au chef! C'est le clavier d'un piano qu'il a au bout des doigts! Pour les musiciens pas de place pour l'improvisation, la fantaisie ou l'erreur.❤❤❤
La musica y la orquesta exquisita y la direccion sublime pocas veces la expresividad de las manos es mas patente en cada uno de los movimientos orquestales larga vida al maestro con su reciente 97 cumpleaños
I am surprised that no one has translated this masterpiece into another language and everyone still sings it in German, even if they have to learn the language especially for it
I adore Beethoven, and the man whom we must pay tribute to is Beethoven. However, having listened to this at 22:14 in Bandarawela, Sri Lanka, on 12/07/2024, I can hardly believe that Blomstedt is 97 years old! I have actually looked at his Wikipedia entry to make sure that he's still living! It is only yesterday that President Joseph Biden of the USA made an ass of himself in introducing President Zelensky of Ukraine. I have known and loved this symphony for 60 years (I'm now 75), and for all that period I've marvelled at the fact that Ludwig van Beethoven never heard this music, when he conducted its premier in Vienna on 7 May 1824 (I've made a second visit to Wikipedia to check). However, finally, I don't place even the achievement of Herbert Blomstedt ahead of that of Beethoven. Thanks, dear Ludwig!
Forgot to mention re: the silence. It was Blomstedt’s masterful keeping his arms extended and not lowering them until HE felt it was time to applaud. He conducted the audience’s silence. Bravo, Maestro.
He really seemed to be enjoying himself.
Thank you for your mostly important post. We wouldn´t have known otherwise...
You are welcome.@@vonpfrentsch
Yes we know. But it doesn't always work with an ending like this. He's lucky they didn't applaud so soon.
@@organboi youre right. 'Conducting' silence without luck is impossible
The respect and love Maestro Blomstedt has for his musicians is unsurpassed. I was fortunate to live in San Francisco when he was the music director. I learned so much from his tenure. His Dvorak, Sibelius, Brahms and Bruckner are without peer. The world has been blessed by his music.
Yes. It is clear that he loves all the members of the orchestra and the choir.

Amazing. Blomstedt is 97 years old. He is conducting without a score and even joins the chorus in singing!! I know he can conduct this in his sleep but still this an achievement. Just f...king amazing!!
Every conductor I've noticed at least mouthes the words when the choir is singing in any choral work.
This concert is a 2015 live. He can't stand up anymore.
WOW amazing and here I am at 66 about to through in the towels

What a wonderful human beeing!!!
Very clean, beautiful sound not overplayed or smashed like Dudamel or Berliner. Pianissimo dynamics are really on point MAESTRO Blomstedt 👏👏👏👏
Wish all bickering and fighting world is buried under the words of this chorus.
I admire Mr. Herbert Blomstedt. He is one of the best maestros ever, specially when he condcts Beethoven masterpieces.
This conductor, Maestro Blomstedt is over 97 years old. God bless him for the ability to do it at that age. A stunning performance !! Bravo.....
What an amazing performance, what a very inspiring conductor

Definitely no shame in enjoying both Queen and Beethoven 🙂
Excellent conducting by Maestro Blomstendt, I had not heard it conducted in such a way, not even by Hebert von Karajan, I can say that.
Beaucoup de relief dans ce premier mouvement qui est à la fois sombre et terrible. Le chef fait bien ressortir les contrastes et l'inquiétude générale de cet extraordinaire mouvement.
Saw Blomstedt guest-conduct Nielsen with the SFO at Davies Hall many years after he'd moved on from conducting that orchestra. Charisma + mastery.
Magnificent direction by Maestro Blomsten.
오케스트라를 잘 모르는 초보입니다. 맨손으로 악보를 연주하는 듯한 지휘자를 보면서 제가 생각했던 지휘를 본 듯 합니다. 단원들이 무척이나 행복해 할 것 같습니다.

Dont understand nothing about this music, but i loved it. Tears fell from my face at some parts. Amazing ❤️
There is only one Beethoven!
it's impressive to see your postings all have such high quality of resolution and audio. much appreciate it! subscription done :)
The apostle, John said that the light shines in the darkness and "the darkness comprehends it not". Beethoven is telling us passionately that we are all brothers. Stop this mindless violence and live happily in peace together!!! He wrote this when he was very nearly deaf but he was compelled to speak and he does so! So listen!!! He is imploring us to listen!!!
the best 9th i have heard on youtube so far ... Number of views of this is abhorringly disproportionate to its excellence !
I just said the same to my wife, both the best and so few views. But this is the best 9th I have heard.
Eu ouço quase todos os dias as sinfonias de Beethoven particularmente a nona e estou convencido que é a mais bela sinfonia de todos os tempos inclusive pela mensagem humana.

Big thank for posing this video. That's great!
Every New Year I welcome with this great music.

It was a celebration! Recorded on December 31, 2015.

Ni modo pagaré un mes de premium, para verla completa. Ver a este señor dirigir no tengo palabras.
Дирижер живет каждую фразу,ни единого лишнего движения
HB just let them do their thing. Just minimum guidance. The way all conductors should be.
i dont agree. he is leading strongly by pure joy. i mean, look here 58:39 as an example. what a wonderful human being! 🥹
Maravilloso, una obra de arte, la mejor 🙌
The performance is magnificent, but holding back the ovations after the final chord makes no sense after this joyful, outbursting finale. Be brothers, embrace each other, feel the energy of being human. And not: sit back, hold tight, overthink...
Don't interrupt with your ads. Put them at the beginning. This is now unlistenable.
...and from his mind, he wrote this all down on paper.
57:58 - BRAVO 👏 to the bass trombonist !
Beautifully played solo !
Phenomenal trombone section, orchestra and choir !!!
RESPECT Maestro ❗
Powerful interpretation!
I have to hear this once a month or I'll stop breathing.

Maravilloso Concierto!!! Beethoven!!! Extraordinariamente BELLO. No puede ser que interrumpan Conciertos Sinfónicos con propaganda! Es un desproposito inadmisible!!! Por favor!!!😢😢😢
Super Conductor.
200th anniversary of the Premiere of Ninth Symphony 🎉

Ese silencio final... de lo más hermoso que he visto....
I cried so hard watching this. My father used to have this in the background in my childhood.
Se la pubblicità interrompe l'esecuzione non vale proprio la pena di ascoltarla
Thật đáng kinh ngạc khi cả giàn nhạc và nhạc trưởng ko lật 1 trang Nào của bản nhạc nào trước mặt họ? Tất cả đều thuộc lòng bản nhạc hơn 1h ư? Thật tuyệt vời!!!
Me ha parecido escuchar al viejo Furtwängler durante la Guerra. Magnético Blomstedt.
Meravigliosa interpretazione.
The first two movements of this Symphony represent the burden of work on Beethovens mind that he has to finish in his left-over life,that he raises the tempo,as he knows his life is soon over.He is fatigued,so his frinds nearby put him to rest,and play some soothing music.(the adagio)And a little later the blowing of bugels and trumpets announce the end( l have quoted this allegory from what l once heated from Schnackenburg in Bremen in 1960)
第一次看到這版本，看著指揮最後結束的瞬間後幾秒，我眼淚都落下來。
Quelle chance de faire face au chef! C'est le clavier d'un piano qu'il a au bout des doigts! Pour les musiciens pas de place pour l'improvisation, la fantaisie ou l'erreur.❤❤❤
La musica y la orquesta exquisita y la direccion sublime pocas veces la expresividad de las manos es mas patente en cada uno de los movimientos orquestales larga vida al maestro con su reciente 97 cumpleaños
amazing except those advertisements inserted by RUclips...
현악기에서 두번정도 그리고 합창에서의 미스 말고는 실수전혀없는 완벽한 무대였습니다
와 뉘신데 그런 평가를 할 수 있나요
Hay muchos errores en tú comentario.
Glad to see he's still so active
Thanks for posting. The soloists really should learn their small parts from memory since the chorus and the conductor himself don't need their scores
The female soloists are non-native speakers of German (i.e. speakers of Slovak and Japanese), which of course serves no excuse for the score in hand.
Even the maestro is reading, or turning pages...
Hoe mooi die man interactie zoekt met de spelers.
love this maestro.........
Das ist eine hervorragende Ausführung... Grüße aus Polen
Così va bene bravo bravi bravissimi grande sollievo in questo tempo difficile.
This phenomenon of joy is the expression of immortal humanity!
wonderful performance
I am surprised that no one has translated this masterpiece into another language and everyone still sings it in German, even if they have to learn the language especially for it
The Great Artwork.
Thanks Maestro
훌륭한 예술, 그 자체입니다.
감사합니다 마에스트로
oh, very good music!!!!!!!!!
Increíble está hazaña del máster Beethoven...aún predilecta de los mortales.....
무심코 눌렀다가 첫 2분을 참지 못하고 이어폰을 찾았습니다. 정말 아름다운 소리였습니다
This music touched me in the heart of my nerve system ❤
I adore Beethoven, and the man whom we must pay tribute to is Beethoven. However, having listened to this at 22:14 in Bandarawela, Sri Lanka, on 12/07/2024, I can hardly believe that Blomstedt is 97 years old! I have actually looked at his Wikipedia entry to make sure that he's still living! It is only yesterday that President Joseph Biden of the USA made an ass of himself in introducing President Zelensky of Ukraine.
I have known and loved this symphony for 60 years (I'm now 75), and for all that period I've marvelled at the fact that Ludwig van Beethoven never heard this music, when he conducted its premier in Vienna on 7 May 1824 (I've made a second visit to Wikipedia to check).
However, finally, I don't place even the achievement of Herbert Blomstedt ahead of that of Beethoven. Thanks, dear Ludwig!
THIS WAS AMAZING
47:10 to 57:07, then to 1:07:36
J ai l'impression que ce sont les anges qui font cette musique
