Symphony No.7 in A Major, Op. 92 II. Allegretto

[jomoomoo1]

loved the film but found the soundtrack over powering the vocals at times.

[LucasGorkilis]

Wouaa..!

[MisssTeee75]

absolute class! I got the shivers each time I listen to this

[TheGuyWhoSaidNay]

I have just found the most beautiful song in the world

[TheJazzyjunk]

I have to play this in band

[spfishy]

Brilliant. Can't get it outta my head! Aghh

[oksanapron1]

It's fantastic!!!!

[robcas631]

One of my favorite Beethoven Pieces!

[oksanapron1]

It's fantastic!!!

[Redspy27]

God damnit I hate it The King's Speech used this, I can't get that bloody speech out of my head when I hear this. Write your own god damn music and stop using another's soundtrack. Because let's face it, Beethoven wrote the soundtrack to his own life. Brilliance without compromise. This movie is and remains the most underrated movie I know.

[stealthymax1]

This music puts in so much emotion

[Arthuro900626]

Borning a new man, the feels breaking down, the heart listen, the world doesn't matter, only exist the new step for think, think i that i thought, in that i make just i still here with my nude body and my discovered soul.

[sparksfly44]

Does anyone else notice anyone who played this speeds it up as it progresses? Is that supposed to be how it is played? because it sounds really jarring to me, much as I absolutely adore the actual symphony.

[johnnyachernar]

Hearing this piece, and having Gary Oldman give me a power stare is just mind blowing!

[INMATE2468]

Beethoven was the snoopdog back then.

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx5]

Never thought i would say this about classical music but...... Beautiful.

[thelightisahead]

@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx5

Then I think you need to try listening to some more! There's so much, and so much variety across composers and periods that it's literally impossible to say in one go that there's nothing in it for you...

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx5]

@thelightisahead Thanks, you're right, i'm starting to really get into it and i'm enjoy discovering all different composers.

[purplehaze216]

now i know why that dude from "a clockwork orange" liked beethoven so much

[xScalpx]

Great symphony n7 :) Also remember this composition from the Immortal Beloved movie :)

[xScalpx]

Beethoven: Wake up bastard! Shindler! Shindler?! Wake up!

Shindler:?

Beethoven: Karl...He's gone..On your count!

later:

Buh.. (pistol fire) later Karl found

Karl:Uncle...I was expecting you. (Karl writes and gives note to Beethoven)

"Never show your face to me again".

[truvelocity]

These prodigies lived in hell half of their lives. Many not making it to a ripe old age. They are immortal heroes because of their legacy. However, they are dead, so it pleases them not.

[MutilatedEnigma]

Darwin was the greatest monkey who ever lived.

[SSthemagicviolin]

@MutilatedEnigma excuse you, but don't you ever allow yourself to be so disrespectful towards such a man. nuff said

[MutilatedEnigma]

@SSthemagicviolin You dumb-fuck, I was referring to the movie, 'The Fall' in which Darwin's monkey is killed and from his grief Darwin leaves some field noted and his jacket with the monkey explaining that the monkey would be found and replace Darwin. 'Nuff said. Prick.

[SOUTHERNvisionMOVIES]

Beethoven's Best. Ever.

[TheForgottenPanzer]

This is also used in Irreversible (2002)

[paduaprs]

your video is like a dream.

Immortal Beloved is part of it. an ispiration of art.

what have i to say about the music and the blonde?

they are reality . then i say with Fernando Pessoa :

Return tomorrow reality.

antonio. i'm 45

[bazodee2]

Ludwig's 7. symphony was also succesfully used in the movie 'Tears of April', turning a what would have otherwise been an ordinary sex scene into a magically haunting, melancholic, artsy sex scene, and thus the best scene in the whole film. I personally rank that scene in the Top 10 Sex Scenes of all film history, thanks to Ludwig.

[mooobtube]

@bazodee2 This movement was used in 'The King's Speech'

[CANDiSUSHi]

our orchestra almost played this piece! it's beautiful <3 and i'm 15 :)

[powerofdestiny]

Beautiful, Truely beautiful. That's a rare thing, Y'know, A 16 year old calling something like this beautiful.

[btyremanable]

I love how low the range is, it give it a very dark sound, very beautifull music, very bold and mature sounding, masculine, what a man! genius!

[macanudo1808]

este tio lo bordó es un gran actor.

[nmal777]

In the last two days I heard this in two weird apocalyptic movies, Zardoz and Knowing. Don't think there's a significance in this, but it creeped me out. LOL

[xSorrowfulAngelx]

@nmal777 I heard it in the Knowing too. It made me love this song even more. This song is best for dramatic and tense scenes. :) But it's very soothing to the ears too.

[nmal777]

@xSorrowfulAngelx My favorite classical music pieces feel that way. It's like the retelling of a calamity where the only witness available is a mute angel. The only definition is the sentiment our emotions draw based on musical vibrations and not words themselves. (Psychic communication?)

[xSorrowfulAngelx]

@nmal777 You described it better than I could have! That kind of music is beautiful. :D

[7ON4R]

@nmal777 watch The Man from Earth on solarmovie an it'll creep u out some more..they say this song was brought too from an alien to mankind which delivered this magic sound.

[nmal777]

@7ON4R Thanks, I'll definitely check that out. Sounds exactly like my cup of tea. I saw a trailer on here for that I think, is that about the seemingly immortal man conceived by one of the writers of "The Twilight Zone?" Don't tell me too much about it...! Just tell me if that's the right series. Thanks.

[7ON4R]

@nmal777 yes it is.

[TKDLION]

When other composers listened to this they must have felt like Salieri did in Amadeus.

[RemovdSande11]

@TKDLION

partly true, but in the case of Salieri it was more his character that defined his jealousy. For most composers composing mean to set away the depressed and opressed feelings rather than be the best at composing. For them Beethoven (and In more cases Bach) were devine composers who provided them with teachings and inspiration.

[pigpork49]

What a piece of music, so emotive

[wendav67]

Love, love, love this piece of music. Also, have always thought Gary Oldman was gorgeous!

[eaterofpie108]

14 people are fucking retarded.

[boogynights]

@eaterofpie108 yeah wtf is that about!!!

[I8LoneWolf]

@eaterofpie108 yeah boi!

[djsladjan]

This is the best symphony of the great BEETHOVEN

[DJVirgoNeun]

"There were five of them."

"The Indian"

"The Ex-Slave"

"The Explosives Expert"

"Charles Darwin"

"And the Masked Bandit"

"All of them have one common enemy....Governor Odious!"

"Is this Odious...a bad man?"

"Oh yeah...!"

[crazycocoa109]

This is the best movie ever, there is so much passion and heart in his songs. He was truly a wonderful composer. i can't hold in tears when i listen to his music. Its so beautiful!

[NeroDark]

maravilloso

[khalivic77]

royal symphony just perfictooo>>>

[movitmovit]

i hope gary oldman is proud that his face is so often still remembered with beethoven. he should be.

[Bayplaces]

In truth, there are definitely people who follow the crowd. but honestly, no one has say over what I listen to. The variety of music I listen to differs as much as my thoughts.

[XxTheXNerdXGuyxX]

Ah, I love music, real music. Idk what happend to our symphony. Well i sapose a bunch of little kids like justin beiber thought they could cut corners and call the worste crap i have ever heard in the history of vibrations that are recieved as sounds in my brain. music used to have rythm, and took geniouses to write. YOU ARENT A GENEUS R. KELLY. i know im not, you ca tell by my spelling, but at least i have a sence of class, and integrity. What happend society, what happened

[NoTalentSucks]

@XxTheXNerdXGuyxX people play classical music. pop music has been around for many decades. Calm down.

[DennisSuperSamurai]

Back in my country, this song was played as a jingle for the ICI Dulux Pearl Glo Ad in the year 1997

[Elainesintherain]

also in The Fall

[Kaylanthedj]

this is by far my best medicore song when i am having a bad day

[zdenka311]

I don't like the way beethoven is starin' at me :D But I like the piece anyway.

Wait...like? LOVE.

[mrdrsmile666]

is a masterpiece so unique sublive and your mind would be passed down without you to know how you defeat the power of his notes ....

[DanDaMan2794]

Immortal Beloved is such a great movie

[Musicalaga]

violaaaa!

[2stixNbun]

I first heard this piece when I was in the 6th grade band. I fell in love with this song and wish I could tell my band teacher to this day how much of an impact this song has had on me. It gives me chills every time I listen to it, and I even made a song/poem to this movement. Words cannot express the feelings I get every time I heard this powerful piece!

[OddEye83]

This movement was on the soundtrack of the french movie "Irreversible", that's how I discovered this symphony. In the film, Monica Belucci gets raped and his boyfriend is out to find out what happened to her, it's worth seeing!

[machecoul1393]

music of the horror movie " fair haired child " and a french movie " des hommes et des dieux" Ilove this song ! <♥♥

[mrdrsmile666]

es una obra maestra tan sublive y unica que recorreria toda tu mente sin que supieras como te derrota el poder de sus notas....

[aleusi2788]

Ode to Balance!! Half Requiem-Half Vals Bravo!!! +1

[youravonladyshay]

i am a musician, but i have to admit, i didn't get interested in the PEOPLE side of classical composers until I saw great movies like this one and Amadeus

Thank you Hollywood.

[OurLoveGetaway]

@youravonladyshay I'm somewhat opposite I was interested in classical music just a bit until I got interested in the people part of it than I am now hooked!

[RonnocRetep]

Why does classical music have to have the most complicated titles and obscure names

[Emilia834]

Donde puedo encontrar este sonido para descargarlo en celular???

[Emilia834]

Hata que lo encontre ¬¬ Bueno esperar vale la pena no? *w*

[lilchicks418]

i though that was philip glass me too !!

[Bacteria43va]

Helps me think

[Niels351]

if you are thinking that the world is ending in these days, then its very very moving music!

[Nonpeon]

This music is manhood: Lean, muscular, and wielding a force of authority, yet exquisitely subtle and sublime, endeavoring those under its spell to be prone to fits of the melting mood. Ah, Beethoven. :-)

[dalymc]

Georg Solti.(1912-1997). A great conductor.This is one of my favourite pieces, the build is so emotive.

[machecoul1393]

this song are in "fair haired child"...i'm crazy about this song alors que je n'aime pas du tout la musique classique. beethoven vous avez mon respect ! =)

[Davezmaan]

The Fall, Knowing, Music of Fair Haired Children, Immortal Beloved, Zardoz

[FritzyM45]

No...this piece is from the soundtrack of "Knowing". It is played at the end of the film, when an immmense solar flare wipes out all life on earth.

[TheEmoPachismo]

My highschool orchestra did this piece. I fell in love the first time we played it, even though it sounded bad. It was our first run, after all(:

[paolorinarelli]

soundtrack of many, many, many movies (e.g. Zardoz...)

[machecoul1393]

Magical !!! music of fair-haired children (2006) ! i love it

[Davezmaan]

This piece originally was heard by my ears from the opening credits of the movie "The Fall" just as Needham90 suggested. Which is odd because Ive seen "Immortal Beloved" several times before the fall... In any case, to those who didnt recognize it like I did, take a look at the trailer for "The Fall" and enjoy another masterpiece <3

[ZeusOwnsYou]

@Davezmaan That opening is so epic. I love it. , and i love you all too

[LittleDragonDraco]

Wow, very nice quality. (:

[catnipblossom]

The music has been playing in my head for a month. Subtile, profound. It sounds like nothing and yet...everything. Like a nothing pastoral, demuni de tout, like watching a beauty bathing in a stream, sun rays piercing through the trees falling on a perfect body. But you're dead and you can't even see your hands. You have to close your eyes to touch...it. But one more time your hands caress nothing and with a smile of a child you go back to your grave. Waiting for it to play again....

[Ihopeyoudietwice]

at last I found it! the music from Zardoz

[thomaserossi]

@Ihopeyoudietwice - I was trying to remember the music from Zardoz too! They do something strange with the opening credits, an eerie, haunting organ melody. Simply amazing!

[abercromboict]

This was used in the movie "the Fall" as the theme song and all underlying themes

[aymendrk]

im in love with this magical music...btw isit the same soundtrack of "The illusionist" ?

[ixd735]

@aymendrk ... and probably one in five movies ever made.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

@aymendrk Wasn't that soundtrack by Phillip Glass?

[alotroladodelapuerta]

This Symphony appears in the French film Irréversible by Gaspar Noé

[Ascaidh]

@aymendrk Aym, yes and Beethoven's 5th 4th mov. is the theme of Jurassic Park.

[spence111]

@aymendrk, This was in "The Fall" I believe. I highly recommend.

[Siciliana101]

@aymendrk I don't know but it's part of the soundtrack of "The King's Speech"

[ghtoti14]

@Siciliana101 yes it is! and it's one of the best uses for this piece I've ever encountered. It fits brilliantly at the end when he's speaking to nations. LOVE IT!

[ghtoti14]

@Siciliana101 yes it is! and it's one of the best uses for this piece I've ever encountered. It fits brilliantly at the end when he's speaking to nations. LOVE IT!

[MegaWolfgang]

the sadist thing is knowing he was unable to hear his own work. except in his heart.

[StarbladeEnkai]

@MegaWolfgang

That's pretty sad, yes. Though the word you're looking for is 'saddest', not 'sadist'.

[theblackcomp111]

@MegaWolfgang Oh my god..... YES HE COULD. He wasn't COMPLETELY deaf.

[MsShinigami13]

@theblackcomp111 Haha you are completely correct. He could indeed hear much.

[johnvbs]

@theblackcomp111 yes, in the end he became completely deaf!

[theblackcomp111]

@johnvbs You're wrong. Do some research before you make a claim.

[dalejrfan800]

@MegaWolfgang He heard... he knows how it sounds! HA!

[anuvamp]

@dalejrfan800 ahhh no, he could not hear, well partially, then he became completely deaf by the time he made his greates hits. He could "feel" the music because he cut off the legs of his piano, so the instrument will be on the ground, then he composed, he could "hear" the music because of the vibrations it made in the ground. Similar to deaf dancer they can dance to the rythm of the music by following the vibrations

[dalejrfan800]

@anuvamp I am only knowing that he understood how it sounds. That's it. In his head... seriously, obviously a deaf person can't hear.

[Ascaidh]

@MegaWolfgang Beethoven remembered the sound. In his own way he heard his music. Probably better than we hear it.

[TheGameTagers]

@MegaWolfgang Yes, especially his most famous work, the 9th symphony. He cried because he heard no plaudits from the audience and never conducted his pieces again.

[RemovdSande11]

@MegaWolfgang

he could hear it more clearly than ever actually. Most classical composers write music in their head and than simply write it down. Beethoven had also a genious clever ear, in which he could hear his written notes in his head at the exact right pitch! a remarkable man, someone to admire...

[FallenPastry]

@MegaWolfgang And his ears.

He could feel the vibrations bro, that's why it doesn't sound like bricks in a blender.

He could feel the music, literally.

[jimmyd6469]

@MegaWolfgang

I've found that that is the best place to hear it.

[Marilada19]

Oh and this song could have also been excellent in Romeo and Juliet

[A892010]

Excelent Song, Thanks

[Marilada19]

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[AvidHobbyist]

Where's the rest?

[bigbee7763]

From one of my favorites movies, "Immortal Beloved!" So seductive!

[GlengarryGlennBeck]

gary oldman did this? wow he's multi-talented

[aMILoCusT]

this song fits PERFECTLY in the movie knowing in the end scene, just pure win.

[McFro95]

i dont understand why people always ranting on about which genre of music is better? i listen to 2pac, jimi hendrix, metallica, black eyed peas, ac/dc, dr.dre, the foo fighters, rage against the machine, beethoven & more; its not like i only like certain genre's of music. i just like whatever is good for that paticuler genre. i wish people could just shut up and enjoy the fucking music!

thx for the upload by the way :D

[HeyDufus]

@McFro95 I hear ya! I've always said that people should simply STFU and just listen to the music at hand!

[PashaPetrovich]

@McFro95 Because most of modern people hate classical music.

[Patricko78]

@McFro95 Well said! different mood different tune, doesnt mean better...

[pobanmanu]

@McFro95 Delete 2pac and Black eed peas and you will get more respect from Beethoven's fans.

[McFro95]

@pobanmanu This is my opinion, not yours. 2pac's music has helped me through some hard times.

[pobanmanu]

@McFro95 Yeah of course thats ,my opinion. Mebbe it would had been better if you had said that lyrics of 2pac instead of music. Anyway you seem to like varieties of genre and i was just wondering if it would be respectful to put the likes of tupac and black eyed peas along with jimi hendrix and beethoven. And BTW I do not hate rhythm and blues , original that is.

[McFro95]

@pobanmanu Fair enough.

[CynicalVision]

Amazing. :)

[LWOPP]

Gary Oldman is brilliant in this movie. The scene where he cuts the legs off the piano so he can lie on the floor and hear its vibrations...so heartbreaking.

[WaysideFlower]

@LWOPP What? That was never in this movie, unless there's a deleted scene somewhere. He does press his ear to the piano in one scene. But cutting the legs off, no. You may be thinking of "Copying Beethoven".

[VaijayantiUSA]

This piece was also in the movie "Knowing".

[McFro95]

@VaijayantiUSA that was a very... interesting film :P

[chruhl]

This is a GREAT piece, anyone who loves this should listen to some of Christopher Rouse. He's a modern day composer and although I don't know of him crediting Beethoven as an inspiration his music has a similar ferocity and breadth of emotion.

[mpjrdldn]

Love, love, this piece.

[mel7289]

Absolutely lovely!

[mauricioduhart2]

hermosa obra.

[mina75]

makes me wanna cry and laugh, all at the same time.

[olmomdgdmtal5p]

Knowing

[miggyb89]

Can't... stop... listening...

[tampertt]

Beethoven, what a genius...

[sakaspuds]

magics back 'them from the ghosts of oxford street' by malcom mcclaren

[TheCarbinJ]

For some reason... I get goosebumps every time I hear this.

[XSereneXShadowX]

This is a beautiful piece. I'm used to hearing it faster, but I think I like the slow version better. Also--Gary Oldman!

[giurassosaurus]

great and sad.

[lavampire]

Why does it have to take a Hollywood movie to introduce people to the greatest music ever written? That's like having to go to McDonald's to learn about caviar.

[gunster10]

@lavampire because media nowadays never appreciate real music.

[7711ish]

This piece was also used in the movie "KNOWING"  Very good!

[johhn88]

@7711ish Irreversible

[7711ish]

A moving piece. Wonderful!!

[lazybugkun]

in the movie the fall! love it...very moving

[XXXMAC187XXX]

... Beethoven is a true artist

[Cavin8r]

We're playing this song... we only do the solo once :\

I'm a celle :P

[vitto]

nice

[chohan9]

omgoshh this is so beautiful

[jonescalypso]

Superb! This one moves me most of all from this movie <3

[songwowords]

It is poweful, triggers my soul, I could not fight but follow the flow of the music... serious, grand and dark through out, even though a bit of bright sunshine peeks out in the middle where it turns to major triplets.

[beSSoffsh1na]

oh...it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!

p.s. This was used in Knowing (2009)

thnk you!

[blackjellybeans8]

@beSSoffsh1na lol, that had to be the cheesiest part of the movie. the music totally outshone the end of the world. XD

[PapagenoJuan]

LOVELY!!! :)))

[JCdreck]

It's Perfect to wait the end....

[Mariaje0131]

love Beethoven ...A genius

Bravo

[Rimrak125]

Fantastic !

[DarthRC51rider]

Good way to put it ! Its everything you can describe but no words can describe it.

[brunobliss]

so epic so sad so win so loss so good so dark so glorious so downfall so much more than all that

[obscure1992]

This song has soo much emotion to it... I LOVE it!!!!!!!!

[TreborRebore]

this is not a'song'it has no vocals

[onenhero]

i think this is beethoven's most epic acheivment

[waitingforshopping]

@onenhero I agree... this is probably, in my opinion, the single greatest piece of music ever composed

[tamerlano236]

@onenhero You might be right. It's just stunning.

[S4TR4P4]

esto esmusica

[sarahkharm]

de veras

[sebei]

The fall!

[StevenShields29]

The Theme from Zardoz!!!!

[6t9dieselgino6t9]

simply beautiful....No words can explain how this piece makes me feel

[starrynight113]

wow. just wow.

[Ascaidh]

I believe this song combines experience with talent. I gather as we age the composition will means other things. Who knows?

[Ascaidh]

To balance grace with labor. Talent with work. The eternal struggle we can never escape. The turmoil. The effort of making bread on the table and cloth our family. One day at a time.
