The conductor is having the time of his life . He knows the music off by heart and is conducting the orchestra and choir as if they were his children . He is so proud . Sounds fantastic .
I can't imagine anyone performing this piece doesn't know it by heart. For me, the sheet music has always been back up in case I get too lost in my own world while playing.
You forget if you haven't listened to certain pieces of music for a while .. how utterly transcendent they are. You remember that you loved them, but you forget the involuntary response in your body. There is something in certain pieces of music to which not just your nervous system and your emotions respond .. but your very cells do as well. This piece of music has ALWAYS brought me to tears ... of Joy.
The greatest piece of music ever composed. Ode to Joy brings joy to humanity. Every time I watch or listen to any Symphony 9 rendition, I'm always moved to tears. It's a blessing to mankind.
It's still the most deeply heartfelt expression of human aspiration that has ever been created in musical form. It asks if humanity can ascend to great acts, and then answers in glorious affirmation. It actually makes me feel happy to be a part of the human race, the part that embraces grand achievement and destiny.
This creation is a magnificent achievement. But to think humanity is part of some grand destiny is delusional. Are you blind? Perhaps just caught up in the moment?
After the awful pandemic time when such concerts and singing was forbidden, it was all the more uplifting that I was able to participate in a performance of Beethoven's 9th in the new Concert Hall in Basel/Switzerland this December. I cannot describe the feelings of even a "humble" choir member, the pride to be part of such a wonderful joint effort, you are catapulted into another dimension.

BRavov, i particularly enjoyed the Concert For Ukraine as well. Particularly poignant in these difficult times, to realise a nation was invaded. slava Ukraine. Schiller's words seemed even more potent and apt regarding the invasion.

BTW Despite the sad loss of life, Our pandemic in New Zealand was greatly reduced by the sterling efforts of our Govt and particularly the tremendous leadership and wisdom of Jacinda Ardern.
Ludwig at his exceptional best and such a magnificent production it must be a joy in itself to be part of the orchestra and choir, let alone be in the audience and noy an electronic device nor technology pollution to challenge what our flagging species can produce if challenged and dare I say it orchestratwd by such an impressive conductor at the helm, all 96 years of his experience.

Yes true some would call it Woke ( whatever that actually means) in the extreme, A deaf composer, and exalting the strength and beauty of humanity. Im guessing Beethoven just WON the so called culture war myth.
Superb performance. A trbute to western civilization and culture. The choir demonstrates the poetic beauty of the historically maligned, but classic beauty and diction of the German language. Best wishes from western Canada... of the German language
My one and favorite work of art amongst the three that have inspired me growing up (the other two being the new testament and The principia). Im a music lover and a pessimist and selfcritic by nature, but whenever I feel like sh*t, I remember that a human being, flawed as me, with as much selfdoubt as me (if not more), decided in his final years to pass on a life lesson of hope and a sugestion that we transcend ourselves to become better then we are. Just beautifull Herr Beethoven. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your final symphony has sustained me in many times of inner turmoil and allowed me to stop the temptation of giving up, raising my spirits instead. Thank you thank you
Absolutely agree. I took part in this performance and though I've done many 9th by now, no interpretation kept me so thrilled like the one of maestro Blomstedt throughout the whole piece.
There are simply not enough 👍 available that I can apply to this performance. Mr. Blomstedt, the entire orchestra, and the choir are superb! This video never fails to lift my spirits into the heavens and beyond. (And I'm not even a devoted "fan" of classical music.) I always watch all the way to the end to see the beautiful range of emotions reflected on Mr. Blomstedt's face. And, oh yes, a special thanks to Mr. Beethoven and Mr. Schiller, too, for this masterpiece! 😂
What else can I say besides that this is truly a masterpiece my respect to all the people who performed this melody and most especially to Mr Beethoven. They say music can alter moods and talk to you - Eminem
That is where the "double fugue" starts. The two themes in the double fugue are variations of the main theme and the march theme; they are on a faster beat so it is not so obvious. I can't imagine any other composer, Bach excluded, achieving such a feat. Considering that Beethoven was almost completely deaf by the time he composed this, it is nothing less that superhuman, divine perhaps.
Ive seen Blomstedt conduct in Gewundhaus, really admirable. Would want to see a performance of this symphony one day too. One of the best, without compare.
I have always wondered what it would be like to stand where the conductor stands during the performance of this and other masterpieces. The experience must be transcendent! Sigh.
Should be mandatory schoolyard time from ages birth to earth! No supervision- only rules- be free, dance, sing, make mud puddles- Beethoven would demand and command the ode to joy!!!
Today in Lithgow, OZ, September 26th 2024, before watching this, I walked by some secondhand music Compact Discs, picked one up, donated 50 dollars by placing it in the box, walked a few paces, and placed the CD down at the door of another shop. I do not remember the name of the composer, nor any details about the disc, aside from the name of one song, which I think was called "Immortal" and the store I placed it down next to may have been called "Reverie." It's been four years since I've been able to listen to music on disc, because after I contacted the Secretary General's Office, requesting humanitarian support, voices started coming through the player, and the disc started skipping.
I love this, I even rewrote it for organ for my wedding in 1961 that is how much I have always loved it you see it express our love for "GOD" AMEN & AMEN.
It cannot ever match mungo jerries genius " in the summer time." The jug playing is a transcendental that defies true explaination. I should teach at the University I think I am completely well suited for it!
The conductor is having the time of his life . He knows the music off
by heart and is conducting the orchestra and choir as if they were

He is still conducting....93 years old!
Vjbjb

Bill Gates the conductor.Elon Musk,the lead vocals😂😂😂
👍👍
I love how many people in the choir are smiling while singing
This is a certified hood classic
OMG that’s funny! 😂
Indeed it ‘are.’😎
Lmao gonna drive around the hood and blast this see what happens (edit) didn't go so well... 😂
@@SmokyTheTeen0423 different species
Thanks shrek
Wow! The conductor is 92 years old. Just amazing! Beautiful, rich performance.
he looks so happy, I love that.
Yes,the conductor looks 92.
But his conduction looks so,YOUNG ....
A man who loves what he is doing!
@TreyBerry7 correct bro
the look on the conductors face when it was over brought me to tears
The scene in "Immortal Beloved" at the end always brings me to tears the story of his life is so tragic and beautiful
And powwerfulll, never underestimate that.
And clearly Transcendent and Magical, thats why we are all here.

There are two pieces guaranteed to put a smile on my face no matter what's happening....An die freude and the Star Wars opening suite!
the best 17.5 minutes that I will spend today
The greatest piece of music ever composed.
Ode to Joy brings joy to humanity.
Every time I watch or listen to any Symphony 9 rendition, I'm always moved to tears. It's a blessing to mankind.
I believe the first part of the Ode to Joy melody was originated by Mozart in his K222.
Agreed.
Beethoven was the original OG. Much respect to the master

@@markkubiak8296 that is why you fail -Yoda
Why are the children of today not taught how to appreciate the sheer genius of Beethoven?
Marxism , socialism , socialdemokratiska, liberalism , relativism and ateism
@@thomasdahlen8533 Yet this piece embodies the very essence of those movements. Always has.
Which children? My daughter is 6 and she loves classical music. I have been playing classical music to her since before she was born!
It's Impossible not to cry. Pure magic.

It carried me to paradise.
I can feel Joy, Excitement and Choirs of angels.
Well it is called Ode to Joy for a reason ;D
Angels or humanity in its best and purest forms.

Overwhelmed...humbled. By Beethoven, by Blomstedt and all those who are playing and singing this glorious musical creation.
Such a joy to watch this conductor!
17:27 is the best part of this video.
He saw the divine intelligence and came back to earth.
Simply Beautiful.
GLORIOUS! Just beautiful classical music played by professionals. My heart weeps.
love it when the bassoons comes in and the tenor slides in there and laces the whole thing together.
❤❤❤
Glorious
Music is so powerful! Thank you MOST HIGH!
Mozart, or Beethoven, its just them.
My one and favorite work of art amongst the three that have inspired me growing up (the other two being the new testament and The principia).

Bless.
this is pure art
This is just... just perfect.
10/10
OMG... LOVED this performance. Loved the camera work as it allowed us to be intimate with the artists. Breathtaking.
One of the most powerful, beautiful things ever written. Thank you, Herbert Blomstedt, performers, and tech crew. Inspiring.
I believe the first part of the Ode to Joy melody was originated by Mozart in his K222.
Makes me cry whenever I hear it !
Makes me very excited for Humanity and Creativity.
Precisely
Beautiful, just beautiful!😃😄😀
Thank you 💕😊 so so much.. Beethoven Ode to joy..very inspiring..magnificent great symphony...so beautiful....
Now this....this performance can move mountains let alone a few hearts. Absolutely amazing. Bravo!
Absolutely agree. I took part in this performance and though I've done many 9th by now, no interpretation kept me so thrilled like the one of maestro Blomstedt throughout the whole piece.
This song is what I hear when i die, turn into and angel, and go up to heaven.
Greatest symphony in the world

Magnificent! Bravo to the conductor, orchestra and choir!
Ethereal music! Incredibly beautiful!!!
Remarkable and wonderful in so many ways! The choir knows everything by heart. No scores.
God gave Beethoven the ability to express his feelings through music beautifully so that everyone could share them
Beethoven's Ode To Joy ....the summa cum laude .....of music. Wonderful performance!
Beethoven Had a Little Help From God on this one makes me glad that I am alive
What else can I say besides that this is truly a masterpiece my respect to all the people who performed this melody and most especially to Mr Beethoven. They say music can alter moods and talk to you - Eminem
Yes.
The contrabassoon really owns the moment at 3:33
Yes !
Ode to Joy and the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah move me deeply, every single time I hear them.
no greater proof of the existence of God than the Ode to Joy
I agree. I believe that the choirs of angels will sing both of these in heaven.
So energetic and spiritual. Gets me everytime I hear this Beethoven 9th Symphony. Love this rendition
06:32 most popular part.
you are a good man, thank you
I'll give you that, @Arquidron
The bit we're here for, honestly, haha... Brings a tear to the eye, it does. :'-)
yes it´s true
@@wispayelton8885 yes
Great song. Absolutely incredible.
Incroyable chef d'orchestre!...Plus de 90 ans et toujours aussi "convaincant"
Music from Heaven : It gives me a Super Positive Energy for Life .... Isn't It from Above ... Beethoven was an Angelic Messenger >>>
Amazing!!!🎉
Gives me chills!
Truly appreciate their beautiful and heartfelt performance.
Absolutely brilliant. Enjoy it George
This was amazing and beautifully orchestrated. I loved every second of it!
4:56 My favorite part. It always makes me shiver.
I kind of wish I could say it was something more nuanced, but for me it's 6:30. The magic doesn't work without the lead up though.
That is where the "double fugue" starts. The two themes in the double fugue are variations of the main theme and the march theme; they are on a faster beat so it is not so obvious.

He is still conducting....93 years old!
Love this to tears!
My all time favorite Beethoven symphony.
Thanks for this. Really good
This piece, Mahler's 3rd and 2nd I could listen over and over again.
藤村先生が堂々と歌っている。素晴らしい、感動！
Wooooooooow. Amazing 👏
Ode to Joy. No other words
Comment ne pas être ému par ce magnifique ‘’Hymne à la Joie’’ de Beethoven dans ce contexte si particulier du COVID -19 ?
Awesome and yes it’s so uplifting staying indoors to listen to fab voices and music. Stay safe and let’s keep indoors to overcome this Coronavirus!
Imagine if he didn’t loose his hearing!!! Creating this while he lost his hearing!priceless!
*lose*
I have always wondered what it would be like to stand where the conductor stands during the performance of this and other masterpieces. The experience must be transcendent! Sigh.
Joy to my soul!
this lets me recall when my bunk mate asked me what song they play in church, I said ode to joy
Maravilhoso!
Simply Splendid
Una obra magnánima, espléndidamente ejecutada!!!!
Great version
Awesome made my hair stand on end
Beautifully done! Bravo!
When finally found that one fucking music you've been meaning to search you're entire fkin life
I believe the first part of the Ode to Joy melody was originated by Mozart in his K222.
Excellent.
Bravo, bravo, bravo!
Was für ein Konzert! In Brasilien gibt es solche Konzerte leider nicht. Glückwunsch!
Beautiful...
Should be mandatory schoolyard time from ages birth to earth! No supervision- only rules- be free, dance, sing, make mud puddles- Beethoven would demand and command the ode to joy!!!

It made me cry.

So this is the song on Brick game. Wow so so amazing!

Excellent!
It cannot ever match mungo jerries genius " in the summer time." The jug playing is a transcendental that defies true explaination. I should teach at the University I think I am completely well suited for it!
3:33 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Farage and his cronies turned their backs on this wonderful music
Check-> Ode to Joy by Beethoven, violin arrangement (Julia Rakkel) , sync and minor , this Lady deserves a Medal!!
Thanks for sharing. And take care of everyone.
6:34 when you finish a level in peggle
i can see 4th impact out of this lmao
6:34 you came for this
yes
