[SiEmanuel]

I like this music. This music is beautiful, it's a song to relax.

I heard this music in the brasilian novel "Insensato Coração" in the last chapter.

I am a brasilian.

[thinkofmusic]

You can see the passion and profound respect for this piece in his face

[guarneri20]

This is the absolute interpretation. Haitink is genius.

[paulostroff99]

Awesome! TY Z for posting.

[jpstenino]

Lord Almighty !!! What incredible perfection; tonality, balance, tempo. I am on the edge of my chair afraid that I will miss something. The interpretation, technique and musicality in this performance leaves me short of breath.

[MrAlesmcgregor]

Thank U !!

[WickkyThe]

how can someone dislike this, unbelievable -.-

[goducks20101]

@WickkyThe They were expecting a Polka :-)

[hand2000]

a bit fast

[PjGalapatz]

@hand2000 the tempo is allegretto..it is supposed to be that fast

[vagtasticone]

Beautiful! Everyone can stop saying it was in The King's Speech now. Great movie, but I hope that's not the only reason you looked up Beethoven on youtube.

[rusovietik]

GOOODLIKE

[dcenter000]

Truly one of Beethoven's finest pieces.

[pulpocz]

FUCKIN AMAZING

I feel love by this melody

[Gene443845]

i love this piece... although i'm wondering why during the flute-oboe-bassoon trio there wasn't much vibrato....

[legendofschmoe]

I CANNOT stop replaying this music...

[legendofschmoe]

I can't stop replaying...

[hustlemanofmusic]

i loved this song it was in the kings speech and the niqalis cage movie about the disasters

[deanow20]

A Beautifully done piece, Beethoven would have been very proud!

This piece is on the 'King's Speech' at the end,

I have listened to this piece of music since i was a young boy, and still it poetically shouts at me, truly a piece of en capturing music!

[Dashkatt]

Wait until you hear this in the film "The King's Speech" ... Incredible

[dfk12]

when they play this at the end of king's speech...I was like WOWOWOWWOOWOWOW

[josgvis]

Hauntingly beautiful.........

[MrSmokingfrog]

This movement is so beautiful, I love to hear it daily. By the way, is that the actor John Lovitz playing the horn at 6:05?? lol!

[Siciliana101]

a haunting theme for a haunted man

[bloodlay1]

低評価するやつは得体の知れないかすやろうだな。

[Haaglander]

The introduction of this movement makes a grown man weep

[Haaglander]

There is silent sadness and suddenly it overwhelms me.

[marielacandie]

i love orchesctral music

[stickwagger]

This is so enjoyable!

[h2osprey]

This interpretation is perfect! Most conductors drag it out way too much (even the classic Karajan-Berlin Phil combination); it's not even about tempo anymore, the atmosphere is completely wrong.

Here Haitink brings out everything this movement should represent: his interpretation is regal, dignified and spot-on in terms of tempo.

[ooProduction]

Look at these geeks arguing over the music all i know this is perfect for sampling! 00

[Vamoace]

Just like there will be probably people arguing over the music you like, right? And that music will never be sampled by classical orchestra, as this is timeless and your sampled music is not.

[ooProduction]

@Vamoace

not the kind of music i like personally, but

the kind to make hip hop music mate!

This kind of music mite be the best thing

to you, but sampling!..That's something you

cant stop.

[anarcho1vegan]

the spear of destiny is waiting.

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

way too fast

[AlainNaigeon]

Did you get a mail from Ludwig ?

BTW, Allegretto means somewhat slowlier than Allegro, but not quite slow.

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

@AlainNaigeon slowlier? are you a fuckin retard? and if i wanted to know what allegretto means i'd just check on wikipedia you dumb fuck,which is probably what you just did anyway, cockface

[AlainNaigeon]

So what ? Every site on music agree with me. Do you think "somewhat slowlier than allegro" is really slow ? I didn't say that, I added "but not quite slow".

Read what I've written.

+ whatever you mean, respect *your* own person by not adding insane words.

Everyone can now guess what kind of person *you* are.

There are several possible renditions of a piece; we might prefer one over the other.

But, having read you, between Haitins'opinion, and your's, I wouldn't hesitate too long.

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

@AlainNaigeon

blah blah blah, i couldnt even be bothered reading what you wrote, i can't believe you wasted so much of your own time trying to get back at someone on youtube, hahahaha, you puff

[Nadia08080]

Amazing..Thanx :)

[Ant0ni00]

The movements in unison at 1:21. Awesome!

[davideguarneri]

Wonderful, excellent, magnificent. I also like Abbado's version (Rome 2001). Berliner Philarmoniker is also great.

[pbpeex]

@davideguarneri

haitink is awesome doing symphonies! abbado's is also great!

but i like bernstein too... he is totally crazy!

[harriethtw]

but the length of the first chord is...not in the same tempo as the rest..

[harriethtw]

I like this first chord the best...

[hamza55]

this is wonderful and pathetic..the power of music is always present in beethoven's symphonies..thanks
