Voyager's Golden Record - Beethoven 5th, part 1, Otto Klemperer

[CaptainBluebear08]

The aliens got the best: Klemperer, Glenn Gould, and Karl Richter ... !

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

imagine this song played in outer space....in absolute silence.....i would love to be there............

[pipinho114]

@MYNAMEISJOHNIS nope no sound

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

@pipinho114 what nope no sound?

[pipinho114]

@MYNAMEISJOHNIS u mad?

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

@pipinho114 i am from greece i cant understand english very well...explain to me what do u mean by no sound

[Pappyroys]

@MYNAMEISJOHNIS Auto pou ennoei einai oti sto diastima epeidi akrivos einai to apolito KENO kai den iparxei aeras na metadidetai o ixos, i simfonia tou Beethoven den tha akougetai, oute ekriksi oute tipota, me alla logia opos eipes einai i absolute silence

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

@Pappyroys απ οσο ξερω ο ηχος μπορει να μεταδωθει στο κενο :)

[Pappyroys]

@MYNAMEISJOHNIS χαχα μόνο στο star wars, όχι στην πραγματικη φυσική, ο ήχος μεταδίδεται λόγω των μόριων που συγκρούωνται μεταξύ τους και μεταδίδουνε αυτό το "κύμα" στα δίπλα μόρια, όσο πιο αραιή η πυκνώτητα των μοριών, τόσο πιο εύκολη η μετάδοση, αλλά η απουσία μορίων όπως φαντάζεσαι δεν επιτρέπει την μετάδοση του ήχου, βέβαια μπορείς να στείλεις ραδιοσήματα και εάν έχεις εγκατεστημένο στον εγκέφαλο πομπό να τα λαμβάνεις και να παρακάμψεις το φαινόμενο που μόλις ανέλυσα

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

@Pappyroys χαχα καλα :)

[Yohan12PSN]

Just wait until the aliens hear Justin Beiber.....

[theblackwizard09]

song?

[fjbutch]

Imagine a mob of Aliens bob'n their heads up and down and around towards the end of this track...

[TheLeon96Ahuel]

Aliens: "Send more of Beethoven!"

[nLzZN]

@TheLeon96Ahuel Ha haa : )

[Rokhan91]

I want some Alien Metal stuff ; D

[TheLeon96Ahuel]

@Rokhan91 Not me.

[chemdah]

We need an alien golden disc to reignite our dying music industry

[electricmaster23]

Aliens: "Send more Chuck Berry!"

[joshua1auhsoj]

damn the end of this song is fucking mind blowing

[joshua1auhsoj]

its sad to listen to this and think about our current musical chart toppers.

[worldsno1drwhofan]

Listening to this, I'm imagining what it must be like for an alien hearing this strange human music for the first time. A very surreal experience.

[jafigueroa41]

De aquí hasta el INFINITO...

To the infinity...

[metcard]

They should have put a nuke on Voyager so if by chance it does find intelligent life out there, we could preemtively nuke their ass just as soon as this song ends. Greetings from Earth!!!

[LexusAlex88]

@metcard

you are so damn stupid! Do you know that?

We, the Humans from earth want to find anyone else out there in the space. and you would blow them up quickly as possible? This is the dumbest shit ive ever read... YOUre just stupid or a little Kiddy that dont know what it talks damn it!!!!

[FreedomResistance]

@LexusAlex88

Hahahaha :D

[jenkinss17]

@metcard really a fool thing too say!!!

[jenkinss17]

a really fool thing too say!!!

[gloomyoutlook]

Even the grandeur and majesty of this piece is overshadowed by the feeling that we as a species are pathetic and feeble in comparison to whomever may discover a primitive golden record floating listlessly through space, in the vain hope the achievements of a few thousand years of civilisation might impress them D:

[exprast]

This song proves that not everything needs a comments section. This comment itself will self-destruct after reading.

[MrBackspace1990]

ooh, that's great! i will listen this song before going to sleep ^^

[blackspartanvideos]

think some e.t's could just be chiling listening to this record

[aag005]

i love classical music

[8Zeitgeist]

ter learn to swim

[kleinesmaenchen]

i think im having an eargasm xDxD great song !

[cacavati]

if some intelligent life forms find this disc they will be like "hm...nice music let's go check them out".After this ,sightings crop circles, then stuff like Lady Gaga come up to be- and alines realise we're unevolving intellectualy,killing eachother still,and are not worth the time

[ZoTicc]

They should of brought the stories from Shakespear on Voyager also. If the aliens could read human language, they would be like "Holyz novaz! Wez gotz thez inteligencez!!"

[YoShitsWk]

i m proud to be human :p this is fantastico

[maggytec]

I'm content to know that long after our sun went supernova turning earth into lava wasteland there will be still a recording of this music left to enjoy for life elsewhere in the universe.

[XQlusiveProductions]

They should've just shot a vinyl of beethovens' works up there.

[eGamerVince]

did NASA put Pachelbel's work? Canon..?

[SkinnyToMuscle]

Lol what is when in 100000 years some alien civilization finds this and on it there is written. Very important document.. then he plays it and they see Rick Astley rick rolling them :D.. integallactic rick n roll lol.. we might start a rick n roll revolution in some far universe xD

[quidproquo2004]

@SkinnyToMuscle or holocaust...

[polymath7]

"These monkeys are rather curious. The best sounds the monkeys made, and some of the very best thoughts they recorded with marks, were made on the same narrow stretch of surface where some of their descendant monkeys, not so very much later, shoved six million other monkeys into a furnace, for no obvious reason."

[mickeymoo26]

Imagine an alien species listening to this. Imagine this being the first contact with an extra terrestrial race.

how exciting : )

[prabhatpalpal]

did they send some weed and drugs too?....I'd have recommended #LOL

[soccom8341576]

Aliens would be impressed at Beethoven.

[SkinnyToMuscle]

@soccom8341576 yea even if they maybe don't know this sounds but they are so in harmony with each other even an other being would appriciate this music..

[komoriaimi]

I iz from Cat Planet and I would of loved some Symphony in Meow or the "Meow meow meow meow song"

[cfjackson123]

I'm also an alien from the plannet good tastea 4 send us some fucking AC/DC!

[OntologicalQuandary]

@cfjackson123 LMAO nice one

[Mtayieb]

I am an alien and i come in peace.i loved this but we would've prefered if you sent us some 50 cent instead.this was good though.I thank you

[majkol13]

indeed my friend. Witch planet are you from? i however is from the planet Mars and i personally would have preferred some Neyo or maybe Taylor Swift for gods sake its the 256 000 th century! not the 255 950 th!

[MrOzzyIommi]

@Mtayieb DIE YOU AND YOUR FUCKING 50 CENT CRAP.

[Mtayieb]

@MrOzzyIommi LOL im not even into 50cent

[Tamaslammer]

@Mtayieb

you're a fucking moron....

[Mtayieb]

@Tamaslammer lol and you're a very very angry person, cant u take a joke.. i obviously see this as beautiful music otherwise i wouldn't have even looked it up..

[panchelbel007]

I don't think I've ever listened to this whole song before. It's so beautiful and strong.

[kleinesmaenchen]

i´ve allready listened to this song, but this one i like the most. otto klemperer made a great job. and i thought just like you.

[polymath7]

@panchelbel007 This is probably the single most famous piece of music in the history of the world, and its first four notes the most widely widely recognizable; but the best part of this symphony is the far less widely known fourth movement.

It is perhaps the most forceful and convincing expression of triumph in all of music.

[brandtaylor93]

imagine of something you recorded was on that record.

[ebronken]

This a rather boring interpretation ;)

At home I have a very bad recording of a very young and daring Karajan conducting a Wiener Philharmoniker consisting mostly of people who had just survived the bombing of Berlin. Now THAT is an interpretation!

[Nachtmarchen]

I agree, this is definitely Klemperer's weakest recording of the Fifth. I just uploaded a terrific Klemperer-conducted Fifth from the 30s, give it a listen.

[ebronken]

Yes, Nachtmarchen, that is really a completely different experience. Pure enjoyment. Thank you for posting it!

[OntologicalQuandary]

@Nachtmarchen

I hate idiots like you who think they know enough about classical music to criticize certain performances. This one is great. It was chosen to be on the record for a fucking reason retard

[Nachtmarchen]

@OntologicalQuandary

Klemperer wasn't in very good health when this was recorded, it does not reflect his mature view on the work. Beethoven made very specific demands concerning the tempo of his pieces, this interpretation is objectively too slow. If you can't see this you quite frankly don't know shit about Klemps and Beethoven.

[Tamaslammer]

@ebronken

you said, "weiner".

[klemperer10]

This is Klemperer's 2nd commercial recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra made for EMI in 1959.

[TheGanglo]

I love his conducting for his purity and clarity. It even sounds huge and constructive. Great artistic achievement.

[abulafia39]

does someone have the date and orchestra information for this?

[maruta555]

I think an alien has finally commented.
