    Igor Levit plays the “Ode to Joy” theme from the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as its first three variations in celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. The sonorous piano version dates back to Franz Liszt, whose transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies Levit has long studied and admired.
    The pianist, who calls himself a “Citizen, European, Pianist” on his website, has often played the almost four-minute excerpt as a highly symbolic encore - such as his performance of the piece at the 2017 “First Night of the Proms” in London’s Royal Albert Hall, which was understood as a decidedly pro-European statement. Levit’s social awareness and will to take political stances combine with the love of Beethoven’s universal music in the musical passage of just over 100 measures.
    It is not known on exactly what day Beethoven was born in Bonn 250 years ago. What is certain is only that he was baptised on 17 December 1770. In 2020 there has been all too little to celebrate for the music world and the natural culminating moment of the anniversary year has been largely abandoned. “Seid umschlungen, Millionen” (Be embraced, millions)? This is certainly not a good idea in times of social distancing. Now Levit brings an extremely popular piece of music into focus, which under normal circumstances, would be performed at this time of year by extensive orchestral forces at many venues around the world.

    I watched you last week when I tuned a you tube channel where they were showing the Nobel Prize concert 2020. I was mesmerized by your genius. I am a very amateur piano player lady who loves piano music since I was a child. Today I found an interview with you, and learned that you feel very connected with Beethoven. I have to admit I am more of a Chopin person; I do play a very basic Moonlight Sonata though; but after this video and hearing you play Ode to Joy, I will look into Beethoven's pieces more, and of course, I have subscribed to your channel. Wish you much success, and I hope I can go to one of your concerts (live) after this pandemia. Keep up the excellent mastery of your skills, the world needs you ; )

    It’s rare to find an arrangement for piano that is so technically accurate to the 9th symphony, i.e. correct bassline with the famous melody and corresponding harmonies.
    Credit to you for using Franz Liszt’s transcription and interpreting the music beautifully.

I am in South Florida and we don’t have the greatest history of tolerance here for people like us but we’re slowly evolving and getting better. My world is very nice but now it’s a much better place, knowing you’re sparkle is in it. Sending you love and good energy for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2021 new year!
    I am excited to hear more great things from you. Stay well and best regards. David A.

    A fantastic pianist. I just watched his Appassionata. Brilliant! Really interesting that he is one of the 'new generation' of classical virtuosi. Keeping it vital; keeping it relevant!
    Not so convinced by this transcription, though. It seems to repeat the first two themes endlessly and to omit the transitional section from this well-known section of the 9th symphony.
