Well said Pauli Correa. Only good natured people listen to Beethoven’s Symphony No.6 and realise that they can enjoy the beauty of the countryside from their own lounge. 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.

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 :)

Music that just is. Perfection. No need to add a commentary. Just to live it. To be. In it. Mankind at its finest. Making something for the purpose of interpreting beauty. And this is beauty.
This piece is so full of beauty, calm and musical description. A wonderful interpretation and a smooth calm tempo . A Barenbohem masterpiece in conducting.
Beethoven is and will forever be one the greatest composers who has ever existed. I first listened to The Pastorale when I was 9, and was devastated by the sheer beauty ever since. Daniel Bairenbom is superb, just superb. He brings so much peace in this fenomenal performance.
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 KZread, 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.

Beethoven was unhappy when doctors told him that his deafness would get more and more worse. He testified about this in his 5th Symphony.

@@anyideas_ Yes, Tom and it's worrying. Wagner operas are more or less based on "Rhenish Mythology". Mythology of tribes living in what we call now Germany. 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.

I am a Japanese old man with experiences of listening to classical music for long. 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.

In my opinion this is the most beautiful of all the synphonies.

But anyway he did something even deeper in meaning than this symphony. Incredibly he wrote the 9th Symphony which he himself never had the chance to listen to. He was '100% DEAF by that time. And he was able to listen to the 9th symphony only in his mind. By the opening of the 9th symphony he had a standing ovation on the part of the public at the theater. The magic brain he had simply overdid all the fields of classical music those days, including Rossini!

BEETHOVEN IS MAGNIFICENT. HE ACHIVES THE IMPOSSIBLE - CALMING THE MIND WHILE EXCITING THE HEART AND THE SOUL. Nothing else matters but the music.

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.

@@burkewhb Your comments are valid of course but represent the standard view over the past 100 years or more which is entirely centred on the Austro-Germanic tradition of so-called classical music. Today thank goodness we have a wider perspective and realise that there other composers outside that sphere that are the equal of those”Gods”. Hector Berlioz is a case in point, Jan Sibelius another , both as gifted as Beethoven or Mozart in their own fields.

Von allen Sinfonien Beethovens ist die 6. Sinfonie für mich die am meisten zu Herzen gehende. Die Krönung aller Interpretationen dieser Sinfonie lassen mich der geniale Herr Barenboim und das West-Eastern Divan Orchestra erleben. Ich bin jedesmal völlig überwältigt von meinen Gefühlen, immer wenn ich diese Aufführung anhöre. Tausend Dank auch an Ludwig van Beethoven, den für mich großartigsten Komponisten aller Zeiten.
One of the best masterpieces of the german master, well performed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
Barenboim does the best job of conveying Beethoven's music with all of its emotions.
Probably the best of his symphonies. I bought the Berlin Philharmonic when I was sixteen and it still brings me to tears.
I am in awe with all Beethoven's symphonies but this is up there with the very best ❤
I discovered this Symphony when I was 16 years old and 50 years on I love it even more, it's more than just music to me, it's part of my life. This is a stunning performance so thank you to Daniel Barenboim, The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and to the Maestro, Ludwig van Beethoven

It’s like you can’t just stay still as your playing, everything has to be moving to play it correctly. I love this piece and the orchestra playing. Cheers.
Beethoven walking in the fields and the woods. He really knew how to put his emotions into music and we can enjoy with him what he felled on his many walks in the countryside. Great art.

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)

I was going through a very difficult time in my marriage when this song came out, and I was feeling distraught, hopeless, and alone. It seemed like every time I got in the car and turned the radio on, this song was playing and tears would steam down my face. It was the perfect reminder to me that no matter what happened, my hope was in Christ alone and He would never let me down. Eventually, God restored my marriage and He continues to be my hope no matter what I have to face in this life.
My biggest regret in life is that I never met a partner who could sit and listen to this with me, enthralled with tears in his eyes.

Dear Hanle, I am another partner of yours just totally overwhelmed again of the whole scene and sound, having in my heart and imagination the coming AGE OF PEACE ON EARTH under the rule and reign of no one else than my LORD and GOD and SAVIOUR JESUS, the CHRIST OF GOD ALLMIGHTY!!! 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!

@@Thomasdcat1940 yes, and the music playing in the background in what in layman terms i would describe a “second layer” of sound from 3:11 which then merges with, and overtakes the music in the foreground. Same at 4:05. Highly likely i haven’t used right terms to express the technicalities of what I’m trying to say but this is how it sounds to me. And there are many other hidden gems i have “discovered “ in this particular rendition, the sound quality and the balance of the instruments is particularly good in this rendition in my opinion. Again, this comes from a man that takes some time off to enjoy beauty from time to time and claims no technical knowledge of composition or music whatsoever.

Its Beethovens greatest Symphony if not his greatest single work, as it is a walk in Nature by pure music.
