    My wonderful father is 96 and about to die from the effects of deep dementia. He and I have listened to this beautiful symphony many times both together and apart. I am listening today in my Dad's honour and sending him my thoughts and appreciation of all that he taught me through my 73 years. I am one of the most fortunate men on this beautiful planet and echo the appreciation offered here to Beethoven by so many sensitive humans, who enjoy the work of a man who was, I believe, a genius. Vielen dank Ludwig :)

      Nigel, my dad would be 85 this year if dementia hadn't already taken him 9 years ago.
      "Pastoral" was one of the gifts he gave me early in life, along with Led Zeppelin and Peter Gabriel!
      May yours have Peace.

    Born in 1996, I remember being a mere age of 3 years old and always begging my Dad to constantly play this tape he had of this Symphony, whilst on long car journeys. I thought nothing of it at the time, it just put me into a pure state of happiness and clarity, now looking back I realise how well my parents raised me, and how good the music bloody used to be. Absolute proof that Beethoven was a masterclass even to my untrained, youthful, millennial ears. Thank you Dad, and thank you Beethoven.
    Absolutely sublime.

      You may be in the age group that has never seen the movie 'Soylent Green' from 1973. An odd piece of near science fiction where the crowded world of 2022 has the solution of making cookies out of humans. Crematoriums disguised as churches. It makes more sense today than 47 years ago because the world is at a crossroads. Beethoven's 6th plays a big role in the movie. Check it out. Often, the movie is free on RUclips, Amazon, and other sites.

      Mi afecto y afición por Beethoven,, nació enlazado con la literatura y la poesía.Deleite indescriptible leer los clásicos y escribir y crear poesía escuchando la Pastoral y los conciertos para Violín, chello y clarinete de Beethoven y Mozart. La miel de la inspiración y la memoria se destila en cada acorde, limpia y serena la voz interior desgrana sus acentos. El espíritu de los genios de la música universal deviene del Espíritu creador de la vida. La música es el lenguaje del Verbo eterno, Dios en su fascinante Armonía, en el Allegro de su Amor infinito, en la Sinfonía de su Gloria Eterna.

    I'm lying in my hospital bed listening to it again at 4.30 a.m. sleep deprived from the fellow patients noises, so I drown it with the most exquisite piece of music that could ever be. It is so extraordinary that tears roll. We talk about night and day, black and white, but this music is so far in the continuum of such things as to be the centre of the sun vs the surface of Pluto's moon. And then that's still not enough.

    I have listened to and loved this symphony for 55 years. This is now my favorite interpretation - majestic nature, calming and joyful for the soul, just as Beethoven would have experienced it on his many walks in the countryside, along with the simple delights of the rustic dance, and the thrill of a sudden thunderstorm. A masterpiece, Maestro Barenboim! Your pacing is exquisite! This is far above all other versions I've ever heard.
    Thank you for all you have tried to do to bring peace and cultural understanding with this magnificent orchestral ensemble! May it prosper and may you be blessed!

I’ve enjoyed ‘The Pastoral ‘ since I was a child and enjoy every movement. Beethoven was a lover of the countryside or else why would he compose something so perfect. What a genius he was.

      There is not just beauty in Beethoven's 6th. Is there really such incredible peace and joy after just a thunder-and-lightning rainstorm? While the first four movements give a very vivid representation of going to the countryside for a day's picnic, only to be interrupted by a severe rainstorm, with everyone scrambling for shelter, Beethoven uses the fifth movement to cast the first four movements into a metaphor of the storms of life--its pain, disappointments, conflicts, sorrows, which are resolved by a universal sense of peace and joy after all the struggles of life.

They were not Christianized before around 800 A.D. Carolus Magnus or Charles the Great did it "manu militaty". However what we kept from these pagan tribes of this area of Europe is the Christmas tree! Pagan tribes living in "Germany" were burning a pine tree at the Winter Soltiste to give back life to the Sun. You might infer that nazism and the far-right are inspired by paganism and not christianism. I experienced that a few decades ago. But that's another story.

      Beethoven was indeed a genius for the ages and this was I think his best work. However, I think that Mozart was as great a genius as Beethoven, it's just that his music was different. Beethoven's music was deeper and more serious, Mozart's music was lighter, like the Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, my favorite, and his operas Don Giovanni and Abduction from the Seraglio. Handel I also feel deserves to be mentioned as close to Mozart and Beethoven's genius, but his music was more baroque, like the Watermusic Suite and Music for the Royal Fireworks, and, of course, his Messiah are all incomparable as well.

    We played exactly this performance of Beethoven’s symphony at the memorial service for my husband, David Michaels. He passed away in May of this year. The service was held in the backyard of our house, surrounded by nature. I can ‘t imagine a more beautiful setting and more breathtaking music for him at that moment in time and space.

    I am a Japanese old man with experiences of listening to classical music for a long time.
    As to Beethoven's symphonies, several conductors have fascinated me through records, tapes, CDs, and internet so far. (My favorite conductors are Böhm, Bernstein, A. Cluytens, P. Kletzki, R. Leibowitz....) I have long thought I am quite familiar with both Pastoral Symphony and Barenboim, but this one is just different and marvelous. This one sounds gentle and soft far and wide, at the same time keeping vividness all the way, which produces the effect of calming every listener down. The way Barenboim conducts here is totally careful and thorough. I also feel much love of his for the young orchestra.

    Its Beethovens greatest Symphony if not his greatest single work, as it is a walk in Nature by pure music. I love it and cannot ever get tired of listening to it, and I love Barenboim as one of the best Beethoven interpreters since decades, The performance is soft, with lots of empathy and not giving one any hurry or rush about it like some directors I have heard. And the thunderstorm in minute 28 onwards is absolutely authentic!

HIS KINGDOM is going to last 1000 years and this rotten and totally ruined creation of HIS is going to blossom and cherish to the TOTAL SATISFACTION OF GOD the FATHER of JESUS, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON from ETERNITY on!
      And there will be peace governing worldwide, because satan, the old enemy and hero of all evil and suffering of mankind in untold variation, will be kept in chaines in God's dungeon, where he will suffer in unimaginable pain for all his evil on earth from very early times (roughly 6000 years) on!
      May therefore everyone reading these poor lines take this in consideration and, if not yet accomplished, come to my LORD JESUS in tears of repentance and confession of sins with the objection of full redemption from JESUS, THE SON OF MAN ! May HE bless this weak witness of faith in HIM for 35 years now!

    Beethoven loved nature and the countryside. He spent a lot of his time on walks in the country. His 6th Symphony consists of five movements - finaly the weather clears up and comes the shepherd's song. Cheerful feelings after the storm. That is why it was called Pastoral. I first heard it fifty years ago and recorded it on my tape recorder. - Beethoven was still not just gloomy. Towards the end of his life, he composed music "Ode to Joy" based on Schiller's poem. Friedrich Schiller was the Poet of words - Ludwig van Beethoven was the Poet of tones. Both are greats of art. Huge respect! 💖 💞 (CZ my country)

The miracle is that he has Palestinians, Israelis, Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Germans and probably Spanish all playing together. Beethoven is Barenboim's speciality and he does it brilliantly. All credit to the East Western Divan project. May Edward Said rest in Peace.
