Beethoven #9 is the greatest piece of music of all time!
You don't listen to the Ninth with your ears - you hear it, feel it with your Heart & Soul. No coincidence the deafness of the Composer.
There have been and will be many princes, but there is only one Beethoven
I am a Metal fan,(Nightwish), but in my opinon, Beethoven is the Father of this styles. And his Ninth, the best Human ever composed.( sorry Mozart, Bach etc)
30 seconds in and I’m already a mess. Thank you so much for the 9th, LVB.
Beethoven created beauty in the midst of his suffering. This is a great symphony that represents just that. The idea of bonding or fraternalism when he himself was in isolation. I am looking forward to studying this symphony in-depth in the future. This is one of my favorite Beethoven works, along with the Missa Solemnis in D-Major. This is a great documentary exploring Beethoven's greatest symphonic masterpiece.
Thank you so much to the producers of this documentary, it made me cry of joy. It's amazing how is showed the reaction of people with deafness listening to the Ninth Symphony; I could suppose that Beethoven had the same reaction when the symphony was premiered. Also, it's beautiful when you see that people with other languages, other cultures feel very connected with the Ninth Symphony; it makes me think that the Ninth Symphony is the symphony of human civilization. I have a dream in my life, and that dream its to travel to Beethoven's house and there to say: thanks master for all your legacy to humanity!
The conductor thinks he's Beethoven.
This was so beautiful! I cried so much... It is amazing to see people uniting for a common purpose, music. The 9th symphony of Beethoven is indeed the bond between people❤
Ask yourselves this question: Who makes us richer, Bill Gates or Beethoven?
