Alle Menschen werden Brüder...The hymn from genius Ludwig van Beethoven with the lyrics from Friedrich Schiller. I enjoyed to see this great flash mob in Hong Kong. Warm greetings from Germany. 🙂
Watching and listening to this wonderful performance, I trust Hong Kongers, believe in Hong Kongers, become confident that their imperishable sprit to take final victory. Freedom will prevail Hong Kong!
I wonder whether Beethoven ever imagine his music being played all over the world, across culture and boundaries. Ode to Joy if not the most recognizable tune in the world, it must be one of the most loved music piece by people around the world.
Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt*; Alle Menschen werden Brüder* Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt! and they actually sang in german.. NIOCE
They also sang the original German text. Being from Germany and being German native speaker, I can only say their German was flawless. A brilliant performance.
We aren't too sure ourselves, Sister SINister, but if you are interested in beautiful things, we would also recommend you checking out our latest work, "The Young Person's Guide to HKFO" - ruclips.net/video/AsQulf0cVDY/видео.html
Everyone have different taste but damn, those people like children fighting when come to better music even music meaning actually picture worldwide art that can't be described by words
Such a beautiful performance! Why do musical flash mobs always bring out my tears? I hope these musicians are doing well especially if they are still in HK.
I grew up in the then British HongKong from 1957 until 1969 . I am from an Cantonese European American family . Greetings to the people of HongKong . Beautiful HongKong .
Three years later, & this beautiful...life-affirming performance still moves me to tears & so touches my heart deeply...M A G N I F I C E N T...The pure happiness...enthusiasm & JOY of the audience is just so dear...
On the spot it was so well received that the young conductor answered by playing an encore. I am feeling proud for them. Indeed, "Deine Zauber binden wieder!"
身處呢個文化沙漠, 竟然在香港出現這種快閃, 還要是我最喜愛的Beethoven - Symphony No. 9 4th movement, 真的非常感動 ! ! it is unbelievable that HK can organize with this activites, and its my favorite song. its reli touching ^^
one solitary young man with a bass viola in the middle of Hong Kong playing, then the rest becomes EPIC...!! ***** only in Hong Kong. very much thanks, I enjoyed this video IMMENSELY!
Absolutely magnificent piece! Full compliments to the orchestra, the choir who sang a very difficult piece in German, into the conductor who managed to change the sound of this piece from every other one on RUclips. This choir and this orchestra are going places. Congratulations!
That's so beautiful. Viele vergessen die Idee, die hinter Europa steht. Ein Völkerbund, Gleichheit und Frieden. Das sollte für dir gesamte Welt gelten. In diesen Tagen sollte man mehr denn je aufklären.
An dem Tag wo diese Weld endgültig untergeht werden wir alle diese göttliche Musik ein letztes mal singen & hören ! Und diese Musik wird weiter leben..versprochen !!!
Absolutely stunning performance from you all you are credit for the hours of practicing to reach this level of excellence well done. But do wish the spectator's would put their bloody phones down and enjoy the performance and excellence of their live rendition in front of them. Would be nice that Hong Kong gets back to more peaceful lifestyle.
I mean if I were out shopping anf this happened I would probably video it too, and I am a musician. It's just happening across this is like a once in a lifetime thing. So beautiful to hear music erupting totally organically.
Wonderful to see Orchestra in Hong Kong no longer just being played in Concert Halls or official events but casual place like a shopping centre, so to allow people that had never heard classical music a chance to listen, enjoy and be amazed :-D Well done!!
I must again send my applause to the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra... I have watched this several times... each time lifting spirits, putting a broad smile on my face, as well as being in awe of your work and talent...
Thank you Felix1991D! If you enjoy this video, don't forget to check out some of our other awesome stuff, including "The Young Person’s Guide to HKFO": ruclips.net/video/AsQulf0cVDY/видео.html!
Music is God's gift to mankind, a universal language that knows no boundaries. I Thank god for glorious music like this Ode to Joy, I feel it makes for a perfect Global Anthem too.
Really amazing, yes its an ODE TO JOY to be able to watch these few talented young musicians bring such joy to so many who were there that day and also to the many who have seen this video all over the world on the internet since the event !!
This gives me faith in humanity. So many people cooperating to recreate such a beautiful piece of music, written centuries ago on the other side of the world.
Brilliant and wonderful, one century ahead of their peer in the mainland in terms of civilization, gave hope that one day they'd perform in TianAnMen Square...
Thank you Gerald! Don't forget to check out our latest work: "The Young Person's Guide to HKFO"! See: ruclips.net/video/AsQulf0cVDY/видео.html. Please see our other great outdoor classic performance for your enjoyment!
no more, we all know HK is now one country one system, all civilized country are stopping special adminstration treatment. HK will only be good if China willing to repect, not control.
It's so goddamn sad what the CCP is doing to HK and wants to obviously do to all is neighbours. Here's hoping Winnie the Pooh Bear and all his friends start dropping off one by one until the party respects it's borders and stays in China. I don't love the US or the EU but they're right, fuck the CCP and its imperialism.
@@acchaladka I'm not even from Hong Kong but europeans and americans need to GTFO of there. It's between Hong Kong and China so leave it to Chinese and Hong Kong people period.
Darren Dewyer Darren - don't waste your time on this dilweed. Notice he refers you to an encyclopedia just after he tells you to "lean" some things. Amazing this pseudo intellectual found a way to turn this beautiful masterpiece that has transcended the ages into an attack tool. Not worth your time.
***** Well, they do write English better than anyone else. Their 15 minutes of glory. You are right, it is about liberty, freedom and peace. And a musical masterpiece!
All beautiful music deserves to reach countless ears that may never otherwise enjoy it. I love how flash mobs are now creating whole new audiences, some of whom might otherwise never hear classical and even believe pop and rock are as good as it gets. These activities plus the making of beautiful sounding orchestra instruments out of trash in poor nations for children who would never otherwise get a chance to play one gives me hope for humanity.
You, the conductor, asked and included ALL CREATION to participate in this magnificent piece of music about INFINITY CREATOR, above, over and in ALL CREATION (who is Her Alway as he is hidden within Her, INFINITY CREATOR Alone). Selah OMAIN (Keep up the inclusion in your music)
People who attack Germans need to reveal their own nationality. Otherwise they are just cowards. Maybe you don't reveal your nationality because your country cannot afford to point the finger at Germany? I am not German but many other countries like Britain also committed mass murder against millions of people. So think first before you throw a stone at Germany.

When Europe is devastated by war, this symphony will be the memory of what we were.

Sharon Yeap ya same
Probably his 5th symphony is more recognisable but id say its definitely one of the most loveable pieces
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt*;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder*
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
and they actually sang in german.. NIOCE
He wrote it from Schiller's great poem. It is about international brotherhood and friendship. So yes he imagined it.
He Imagine. yes !!!
They also sang the original German text. Being from Germany and being German native speaker, I can only say their German was flawless. A brilliant performance.
Die erste Strophe ab 4:50 ist allerdings nicht wirklich deutsch...
It is actually Cantonese text set by Hong Kong lyricist James Wong.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wong_(lyricist)
Not even fucking close to Cantonese. it's German.
you mean beyond brilliant
+MeMyself AndI They start singing the first stanza in German at 5:50.
I am German. The son is about universal brotherhood/sisterhood, about all humans becoming brothers/sisters. My dear friends in HK you did wonderfull!
雖然我們說著不同的語言，But we are all humans at last. United by music
どこにいても音楽は心を繋ぐね
There is no song that touches the soul as deep as this one. This song is the personification of hope for humanity.

Yes❤ I get relaxing yet enervating energy from it.
How can people dislike something so much beautiful?!

The greatest music ever written. Thanx Ludwig.;
I grew up in the then British HongKong from 1957 until 1969 . I am from an Cantonese European American family . Greetings to the people of HongKong . Beautiful HongKong .
The one thing all human beings everywhere share is our love of music. Why cant we love each other with the same passion. :)
My husbans still talks about his visit to Hong Kong in 91. Just before desert shield / desert storm . Sad its not the same anymore.
Extremely beautiful, touching ... I listened while crying with joy.... what a magnificent moment!
Three years later, & this beautiful...life-affirming performance still moves me to tears & so touches my heart deeply...M A G N I F I C E N T...The pure happiness...enthusiasm & JOY of the audience is just so dear...
From a freer time for HKers ... who remain in our thoughts and prayers.
美麗的樂曲、美麗的香港人、美麗的城市、美麗的回憶！久違了，美麗的香港！！！
Wonderful! The people of Hongkong should be proud of their youth musicians and Choir.

A wonderful scene and timeless music, antidote amidst the tribulations of our times. Thank you, Hong Kong Festival Orchestra and all the Singers !!
Thank you Hong Kong, thank you musicians and singers, thank you Luwig van Beethoven.
the noise of humanity is silenced when great music is played - for it is within us all.
This by far the best flash mob I have heard of the Ode to Joy!
Viva la música, sin importar donde quiera que te encuentres, la música nos une, todos somos hermanos, felicitaciones, abrazos a todos
I was expecting them to build the orchestra. I was not ready for the voices. Beautifully done.
I cried, not ashamed to say it. Beautiful.
That's so beautiful. Viele vergessen die Idee, die hinter Europa steht. Ein Völkerbund, Gleichheit und Frieden. Das sollte für dir gesamte Welt gelten. In diesen Tagen sollte man mehr denn je aufklären.

Este tampoco está mal, amigo.

What happened to this joyful and peaceful HK? Can someone bring back music, joy and peace to our loving HK?
Kick the terrorists from CIA out of Hk and bring back peace

Bravo ! Quand la musique unie les cœurs............ Very good. Thanks
Ode to Joy is simply beautiful...so patriotic in tone and serves to unite us all!
Probably the most fitting music for a clash of titans as well like in the anime series Neon Genesis: Evangelion.
***** Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that I live in North Korea and we're not allowed to have our own opinions. Gosh, real sorry...

Beautiful
For some reason, I couldn’t help but to cry with happiness while I watched this.
I love a good orchestral flash mob. Hope I get to experience one live someday.
Beethoven's 9th is a great choice for mobbing.
Knowing this is now impossible to do this anymore makes it even more powerfull
That was wonderful! Tears came to my eyes when the choir started singing!
You're not alone buddy 🥺🤍
Its music with joy!
So young, so much talent - thank you - 多謝 - 谢谢 - you made me cry tears of joy (and I never cry)!
