    Ludwig van Beethoven
    A man who wrote countless pieces of music, each and every one a masterpiece in a class of its own
    A man who lost the will to live after the discovery he wouldn't be able to hear music, the only undisputed passion in his life, but gave up on suicide because "he couldn't bare to leave this world before he had left it with his work"
    A man whose composing remained as masterful during his deafness, some say it improved
    A man who restlessly broke the rules of music, even implementing choir in a symphony
    A man who has been dead for centuries, but is actually immortal and brought back to life every time his music is performed
    A man whose music is recognized by those that don't listen to him at all
    A man whose music is now considered boring by the majority and still manages to get 75 Million listeners
    A legend in all of its glory!

      actually its pronounced
      Ludwig van Beethoven
      Ein Mann, der unzählige Musikstücke geschrieben hat, jedes ein Meisterwerk der Extraklasse
      Ein Mann, der nach der Entdeckung den Lebenswillen verloren hatte, konnte keine Musik hören, die einzige unbestrittene Leidenschaft in seinem Leben, aber er gab den Selbstmord auf, weil "er es nicht ertragen konnte, diese Welt zu verlassen, bevor er sie verlassen hatte mit seiner Arbeit "
      Ein Mann, dessen Komposition während seiner Taubheit ebenso meisterhaft geblieben ist, sagen manche, es habe sich verbessert
      Ein Mann, der unruhig gegen die Regeln der Musik verstieß und sogar Chor in eine Sinfonie einführte
      Ein Mann, der seit Jahrhunderten tot ist, aber eigentlich unsterblich ist und jedes Mal, wenn seine Musik aufgeführt wird, wieder zum Leben erweckt wird
      Ein Mann, dessen Musik von denen erkannt wird, die ihn überhaupt nicht hören
      Ein Mann, dessen Musik inzwischen von der Mehrheit als langweilig betrachtet wird und immer noch 75 Millionen Hörer erreicht
      Eine Legende in all ihrer Pracht!

      Two things:
      First, I believe most people don't find the music boring; it's the pompous, elitist, stuffed-shirt attitude surrounding a lot of classical music that drives people away. When they hear it "in the wild" they tend to love it as much as ever.
      Secondly, I've said before and will say again that Beethoven going deaf didn't stop him from hearing the music. It only stopped him from hearing the distractions.

      Imagine if you will, that Beethoven was almost completely deaf when he wrote this. The only way he could "hear" the music he was composing was to remove the legs from his piano, lay on the floor with his head on the piano, and pound on the keys as hard as he could. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants.

      It adds even more to it when you add some contex. Image yourself living in this era where you don't have access to music as you do now. Hell, it may have been a month since you've heard a good violin. And you sit there, among all those other people, hanging on to each note.
      Imagine how hard that chorus would have hit when that's the first music you've heard in weeks?

    You know how sometimes you get a tune "stuck" in your head, and you sometimes can't seem to get rid of it? Well, from what I have read, Beethoven had this tune "stuck" in his head since he was nine or ten years old. He doesn't write it down until he's old and completely deaf.

Growing up i forgot it and one day accidentally come across a video on youtube 'girl drops a coin' and there you go. Then i found all history behind it.

      I have had this stuck in my head for two weeks now. The way to get rid of an ear worm is to hear it end. You brain wants it to end. Beethoven had the extra challenge of having to write it. If you look at music as math, Beethoven resolved Pi with this.
      By the way he died at 56, not young but not old either. He did write it at 53.

    I was going to let it go but I just had to comment, the lady in the beautiful white dress, she really enjoys what she is doing, no, she it seems loves to sing Beethoven, and I mean nothing in a bad or negative way about this, she has a kind of wide eyed joy about what she is doing, and I have just too much free time.

There are lots of potential pitfalls in this music but he handles them well without losing the operatic quality of his voice. I certainly hope to hear him again. Thanks for posting.

    This is a wonderful rendition of the greatest symphony: the contralto's joy at her fellow soloists, the pounding tympanist (finally someone not afraid to give it some welly), the magnificent conducting. What inspires me as well is that this is not a full orchestra - which somehow makes it more visceral and homely all at the same time. I've listened to dozens of recordings, seen it live 11 times and watched loads on YT - and this version is the #2 for me (#1 goes to the Haitink version, also on YT). Thank you Neumann and especially Beethoven!

      After 80+ years of Franco-German tensions and wars that brought Europe to ruin twice over (and the rest of the world too), the ECSC and European Community ensured that it’d never happen again.

    Anyone who hasn't seen a full orchestra play live is missing out, it doesn't even really matter what music they are playing. Even the best recording played on the best sound system falls so far short that it fails comparison. The experience, for me, is as transcendent as, in my youth, watching the sun rise from the top of table mountain while on acid. Ignore the stuffy image that orchestral concerts evoke, smoke a dooby, book your ticket and prepare to be blown away.
