I really love this Symphony, I feel it with my soul. Deeply inside in my soul

[frankthoen]

This was supposed to be the first song played on the speakers all out Berlin the day Hitler died

[minasgekos]

@frankthoen true? can you give me references about this, it's quite an interesting piece of information. Thank you.

[frankthoen]

@minasgekos check wikipedia it is pretty common information but indeed very interesting fact right?

@frankthoen Can we not listen to Bruckner's music without having comments about Adolf fucking Hitler? What is it about you people? I can't go to a Wagner video without seeing comments about Hitler. A lot of you have Hitler on the fucking brain. Boring or what? It's been done ad nauseum.

[frankthoen]

@lewars1912 it is a historical fact.. Not all his other pieces but this epic piece of music was part of very important moments during that time..

[TheVaccumtube]

@lewars1912 heil !! sieg-heil !!

[ThePlutino]

@TheVaccumtube bruckner war katholisch nicht nazi

[TheVaccumtube]

@ThePlutino ya,ya. nobody's saying Bruckner is Nazi or suggested his music has connection with Hitler. By the way take it easy with Adolf Hitler, ur Hitler obsession alone is a form of mental sickness. People have the right to favour any one, any historical figure, amen that include a person who's tagged as 'bad guy' by the public. One day you Europeans will understand that Hitler was right try to clean up Jews from the Continent, can't u see that He did u a favour you stupid. Btw I'm Asian.

@frankthoen nobody care about Hitler ... fuck him and the people the talk about him .... !!

[Fascistaboy]

[minasgekos]

it's funny how sometimes we can hear works from other composers within some music. 0:38 - 0:43 ouverture from Egmont, 0:45 - 0:52 Litzt's liebestraum :)). Of course that doesn't mean i 'm saying he copied.

[Artegalatus]

@minasgekos I don't think he did this voluntarily. He might have liked Egmont and always remembered it and somehow, subconsciously, used it in this piece.

[minasgekos]

@Artegalatus A composer of his calibre needn't copy other composers work. I don't even think he did subconsciously, it's just a coincidence.

It's a mix of the spiritual and the earthly.
