Beethoven Symphony 9 in D minor Op. 125 (2/7)

[Blasting4Matter]

why would there be a fucking dislike?

[alteregoash]

@Blasting4Matter I'd like to think it was some punk that didn't get it, but it's probably a classically trained snob Bach-purist or some such tripe. The amount of arrogance I find in that community about who is great and who isn't is pretty stifling of any rational thought. 

[WAMEDJO]

Until now I can't listen to the first movement without feeling irrestibly bored, because it developps for soo long ! I truly love Bruckner 9th first movement though, proof that I can stand a developpement.

Apart from that, is there never a nuance in that symphony, or it's played forte all along ? I mean, those timbals...

I don't pretend anything, it's just my appreciation as a listener. And I'm a big fan of the sixth.

[spymanta]

@WAMEDJO the 2nd part ofc is better than the first but that doesnt mean the first should be not heard! All the parts are amazing anyways! Plus you're wanting to go to the orgasm without having first sex... and dont say again beethoven is boring! blashemy!!!

[Theartist9012]

god bless Beethoven

[godzilla20001]

This sharpens me up for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

[MetalRock7777]

@godzilla20001 A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece.

[Pedanticus]

this part strikes me as more familiar than the previous one. I like the grandiose conclusion at min 5:15 and the short violin bursts that break the following silence. Those bursts seem impertinent.

Give any child (who likes piano and music) food and shelter and love and a piano from the age of 3, and they can do the same or better IF they have a work ethic. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" ~Thom. A. Edison.

[jhiller21]

@matthewwp56 says Edison who rode the coattails of men like Tesla

[Bassist10288]

I feel the magnanimity of a lake a thousand miles wide, flush with candles on every shore. Wind rages and the sliver of moon glows on even in the fierceness of its cacophony. It's as if someone described the world's most glorious painting, down to the last stroke in a movement wide as infinity, and delicious as love. Impossibly human. The bared soul of a man.

[Pourqouis]

Interval between actual parts is to short, doesn't match to one as it is done on live concert.

[matthewwp56]

Like Beethoven I've done better and I've done worse. Just a critique relax he's dead.

[mdd07c]

5:17 is a punch in the face.

[NorseWarriorKing]

The second movement is probably my favourite.

[jhuiopy]

Alex DeLarge approves.

[sulmagnificent]

5:19 For the clockwork orange :P

[serginietor]

great recording + astounding composition & composer = this.

[amalgama21]

2nd movement starts in min 5:18

[sessionmessiah]

.....

[matthewwp56]

Not that impressed, pops



[Salha7]

@matthewwp56  can you do better?

[USful]

@matthewwp56 try and make something better when you are deaf and of old age.

[Akku1969]

Perfect!



[potate420]

It begins, whispering then explodes and dazzles us in bright swirles. Feeling the fear, we glare at death riding such grandioses melodies that make me think : so many harsh memories, of a threathening father, of an obsession for angryness. This music tells all that, i live it through along her movements, i’m moved away, and then i fall. I say to myself , that’s it, its gonna hurt, but no…

[SunshineInWoods]

Looking forward for the free concert in Rådhusplasse!!!

[merfeldaniel]

more rpic than a bear fighting a shark- in space!

[jme9570218]

Starts @ 5:20 .........................

[goibhniu212]

love and more love

[collectivehippy]

5:18, enter the second movement

[jaysuperhuman]

A Clockwork Orange.

[RYTHMMAKER]

Beethoven said "Ishall seize fate by the throat, it shall certainly not bend and crush me completely." This sublime symphony is testament to that declaration!

[GreenCertains]

I'm seventeen, and I love Beethoven! :)

[yitzchak13]

Gunter Wand.

What a suitable name for a conductor.

[tarektop2000]

just waw waw waw my brain will fall mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Giorgi4230]

dislike button should not exist on Beethoven's music!!!!!

[trollkors78]

Godly music...

[christeleon]

5:16

[fadethetrade]

Perfection,aestheticism,can't get any better then this.Beethoven was the greatest ever.No one comes close.He did it all,symphonies,and people forget that he was a master pianist and very underrated!.He bridged the gap between classicism with romanticism.All the love songs written today all came from Ludwigs bridge and the pop music foundation started with him,And he did it all with probably the worst case of tinnitus in any human, agony and pain in his ears!

[raduneo]

@fadethetrade There are actually a few that come close, even equal him in terms of symphonies.

Gustav Mahler comes to mind. Oh Mahler !!!!

Not to say that Beethoven is anything short of earthshattering perfection!

[TheMagicBolt]

7 people got mad at this for showing them they've been missing out on real music.

[dlinechamp78]

I think i'm the only eighteen year old that enjoys this. The rest of my friends listen to music without soul.

[giligara30492]

@dlinechamp78

I was 18 about 3 days ago (before it was my birthday), but I enjoy Beethoven's music thoroughly, as well. It calms me down, it cheers me up, it puts a smile on my face and, above all, it carries me away.

[Dustyblankets]

@dlinechamp78 apart from me maybe :)

[alicesqueeks]

@dlinechamp78 I'm 20, but I enjoyed classical music throughout my entire life

[gatuvelitass]

7 peoples are stupids

[mackbox123]

@gatuvelitass they may dislike this rendition rather than the music itself! If that's so, it's a problem of taste. But if not, they will be real nuts.

[alilapointe1]

@gatuvelitass we are doomed, they are 8 now.

[arturohernandez20]

Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

[carnagegerman]

@arturohernandez20 real horrorshow...all thanks to Mr. Ludwig Van...

[MegaMaestro14]

@arturohernandez20 I think you mean gorgeousnosity :D

[crafty117]

@MegaMaestro14 It's a quote from a movie. A Clockwork Orange.

[Salha7]

@arturohernandez20 That, my friend is called exuberance =D

[FaceTheSlayer83]

@arturohernandez20 naughty naughty naughty! you filthy ol soonka!

[mafSAW]

@arturohernandez20 I'm reading A Clockwork Orange :D

[FuckOffKoryBrine]

@arturohernandez20 the moloko plus..it would sharpen you up and get you ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence :)real horrorshow

[K1nGS4uC3]

@arturohernandez20 and it was then that i knew it was ol' ludwig's 9th

[Danorowski]

@arturohernandez20 With an arrow in thy knee!

[veritasvincit7]

@arturohernandez20 So whats it going to be then, eh?

[dega723]

@arturohernandez20 Well well well ! Alex my droogie ! no magic liitle Alex ! A job for two who are now of job age ! the police.....!

[inthelifeofadog]

[dancelover1430]

[Splengie]

[sishen000]

7 people missclicked.

[99999liquid]

Oh glorious Ludvig Von

[sophiamrunnerrunner]

@creekrocker what the hell! you are some white racist! YOU should be HUNG and YOU should be ABORTED. you once were a fetus, if you hate your life so much, commit suicide. but don't you dare say that babies should be aborted. they're living things just like you and me, since they have a heart beat (killing an alive human being is considered MURDER. and what gives you the right to be so racist? i mean really!

[creekrocker]

@sophiamrunnerrunner cool story bro. u mad?

[sophiamrunnerrunner]

@creekrocker i'm not your bro, b*tch ;)

[creekrocker]

@sophiamrunnerrunner lol u mad?

[sophiamrunnerrunner]

@creekrocker oh no. i'm so f*cking happy because i actually have a life.

[creekrocker]

@sophiamrunnerrunner thank you my fine gentleman.

[sophiamrunnerrunner]

@creekrocker nah thank you my fine hoe

[WolfDemonProductions]

@sophiamrunnerrunner My guess is that creekrocker is just a troll, especially since their comment had nothing to do with the video. They are looking for you to respond angrily. It's fun for them. The best course of action is to not respond.

[creekrocker]

@WolfDemonProductions right on the money. good work detective.

[WolfDemonProductions]

@creekrocker Why thank you. Keep practicing though. It's the really good trolls that make the internet fun.

[IamMissAlex]

@creekrocker Sorry Bro' that no one loves you enough that you have to bring down others to get attention. /: Must be a hard life you have that you can't enjoy the beauty of classical music and prefer to put down others. Shame.

[creekrocker]

@IamMissAlex actually the music is quite nice but i do get a good laugh out of angering people.

[geddylee21121976]

you are just trying to get a reaction out of people obviuosly.you sir are an idiot and should come up with some originial material when trying to shock people

[creekrocker]

@geddylee21121976 thank you for the wonderful insight.

[bigRillo84]

the 7 dislikes HAVE got to be gingers... they have no soul =[

[singandbefree]

the beauty of classical music...

[doiknowmyenemy]

The only thing I can think of when I hear this is A Clockwork Orange.

[brennen90]

@doiknowmyenemy thats exactly what i think about too

[MaxXxSpeed]

Reminds me of a clockwork orange. Great music!

[guitmm]

"7 dislikes". OMFG, why?

[WolfDemonProductions]

@guitmm obviously the mouse slipped or something

[mleedrummer92]

ludwig van!

[Fureak]

Beethoven is serious business apparently.

[AugustusAurelianus1]

@serialced - many thanks for this splendid video. There isn't a single piece composed by Beethoven to which one could be neuter and/or indifferent, for all his melodies evoke as much passion as there seem to have existed in his heart & soul throughout his troubled existence...

[emilianus15]

DIVINO.

[crawfordfanatic]

ANyone who puts their entire sould into music like he did with this magnum opus is amazing. He revealed himself when he wrote this.

[emagdali]

5 dislikes. hmm. 4 of them were deaf. and, well, the other one was Bethoven because he couldn't listen to it as well :P that comment is inspired from the comments below that ;-)

[killercanofcola]

@emagdali It's not funny you jerk. "at the end of the premiere of his Ninth Symphony, he had to be turned around to see the tumultuous applause of the audience; hearing nothing, he wept." THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE AN INSENSITIVE JOKE.

[emagdali]

@killercanofcola hahahahahaha i am insensitive? i studied piano for over 16 years, and i listen to every kind of classical music.I even compose my own music based on classical, and you call me insensitive? i respect them all, but i am not afraid of "sarcasm"...

if you don't believe me write myspace(dot)com and then /Manolisproject

[emagdali]

@killercanofcola oh! and i DARE you to listen to my music and come back to call me insensitive or anything like that...

[killercanofcola]

@emagdali Well apparantly 16 years of music was wasted on you, you don't sound like you matured at all. And what I said was based on your comment on Beethoven and not how your music sound like, honestly I don't really care what you compose. And asking me to listen to your videos to garner more views? Nice try.

[killercanofcola]

@emagdali You don't really sound like you respected Beethoven to mock at the fact that he was deaf to hear his own symphony. If Beethoven was here today I'm sure when he reads what you said he will knock on your door and punch you in your face. Your sense of "sarcasm" wouldn't be appreciated at all. If that's your idea of funny/sarcasm, grow up. So don't try to cover your ass.

[dadinanm3]

Thumbs Up if you are still listening from the Gizmodo article!!!

[rouzbehazshab]

a constant strugle.

[keeperofthetomes]

I've heard of many interpretations of this symphony. some very good, others not so good (in my opinion anyways) and this interpretation is one of the better ones.

Nevertheless, to write something like this, only to be able to hear it in your head, is really incredible. A shame that he can't write anymore music since he's not around anymore.

[pedrohissa3]

3 people are deaf...

[metalnrockfreak9]

@pedrohissa3 You know Beethoven was deaf too, so...

[beethovenlovedmozart]

@pedrohissa3. This is why Beethoven didn't make a 6th Piano concerto - because he couldn't play it effectively to his standards. So he spent all his time on music he couldn't play himself.

[gnartwoDtwo]

WHERE ARE YOU NOW BEETHOVEN!?!?!?

[xExekut3x]

5:18. Thank you GOD!

[xExekut3x]

Everybody in the world should listen to this symphony at least once.

[orhenisi]

no es el cuarto moviemento de la novena (min 5) ???.

[WaveOnaString]

He is the Stephen Hawking of Music

[ssrr12]

@WaveOnaString More likely, Stephen Hawking is the Beethoven of Physics

[WaveOnaString]

He is the Stephen Hawking of Music

[mackenzieeful]

HAHA I am born again!

[plagueofangels666]

Beethoven = Divinity, true and utmost perfection!

[tallbridge]

wow. I quite like the build up at 0:40 onwards. holy genius.

[OrquestaSonDelPuerto]

the 3 people that press dislike were so astonished by this incredible masterpiece, that missed the like button, i liked how the first movement ended to enter into my favorite movement the scherzo, presto man its really far, not everyone can play this.

beethoven ftw

[kevb1959]

If one dislikes this piece one has no understanding of music!

[ShipMonster]

Yes 5:17 is the hallmark sound of symphony no9 D minor, HOWEVER, 8:45 wins over all you'rs. I'm sorry but it's true:) I rewound it a few time because I literally get a tingle down my spine.

[yoshihobbes]

I feel as if throughout the progression of the symphonies you can hear the loss of his hearing, as each symphony seems to get more and more chaotic, in a beautiful way.

[JRR951]

@yoshihobbes I heard that his later symphonies become quite introspective and, if that is the case, your theory would accurate.

[Pascalito751]

Merci beaucoup.

Quelle merveilleuse musique, n'est-il pas ?!

Nice to see you in Le Mans.

[katimuri]

The loud, unbexpected commercial at the end of this segment is the most disgusting surprise. What a turn off!

[chuckbuckbobuck]

5:19 Rapture!

[ojkqweyrfiwegwelg]

wonderfull

[StrongBreak]

Love the second movenent... 5:17

[MultiClavedesol]

por fin se puede escuchar enterraaaaaaa

[MrFiddlesticks101]

incredible how does he make it so long?

[DiamondSoul]

Around 4:25 on just wrecks my heart, so heavy. Beethoven is my absolute favorite.

[boomer4666]

i heard this live O_O the whole 9 parts and oh my fucking god it was the best thing i have ever experianced in awhile. LOL i got so overwhelemd by this, i almost cried like 8 tiems xD

[Heeey333]

no you didn't...

[boomer4666]

yeah it was ode to joy they were playing at the orpherum

[huholah]

shame how the views decreases in each part...most ppl only listen to the start then the choral part, as for me, I think this whole symphany is beautiful...

[Heeey333]

it's because it's boring

[AyuHatesYou]

You don't know what is music.

[Heeey333]

Yeah I do, early Beethoven was ok but as he became more deaf his music got worse and worse and very self-conscious sounding. This symphony is just to long and doesn't appeal aesthetically at all. It is technically interesting on the music score sheet, but listening to it it is awkward and boring. There is way better classical music then this.

[NagisaKoworu]

@Heeey333 :

If you it's boring, well can you prove you can do better. Or compose a song when you are deaf. Well, if you can't. Just shut up!

[101division44]

@Heeey333 Beethoven's music only gets better and better......It is really hard to even write music...let alone an immortal one such as this.....if you can name better ones, reply to this message or just shut your face.....

[MadelieneG]

@Heeey333 the problem is not that Beethoven's music did not mature, but that you, sadly, did not mature with it.

[davecoleman12]

@Heeey333 You are entitled to your opinion I guess, but considering this is probably the most influential composition to be written, which just about every subsequent composer acknowledges, you realistically can't say anything too negative about it!!..

[nascar1998]

@AyuHatesYou

Dumbass

[FedorCroCop44]

ur boring

[Heeey333]

you come across as dumb

[101division44]

@Heeey333 You come across as ignorant.....

[RAINBOWHORSES]

@huholah I couldn't agree more. It is designed to mesh together, but popular culture has placed importance on only the first and last chunks of it.

[JacobRudduck]

The whole nervous buildup of the section from 8:30 to the rising crescendo of 8:45 is just sheer, utter genius.

[jeromeT1020]

Absolutely

[erikbateson]

The whole thing is genius.

[FesterCrust]

Thank you

[Da9elDeamon]

Awesome

[bngtks4js]

Bro he knew how to study music and he knew how the instruments were supposed to sound. Obviously he heard it, just differently than we do.

[Sepheriam]

To think that such an amazing work was created by a man who, at the time, was completely deaf. It moves me to tears when I think about it; how sad that he didn't hear this before he died. Yet, wrote it anyway.

[arlongan]

@Sepheriam No.He heard this when he is composing.

[MyrnaMinx1]

What a joy to have all of the movements posted. Thank you so much.

[AyAReI00]

i was looking for the real one :P

[Onyxwolf3]

finally an actual recording of symphony no. 9. great by the way.

[paks2008]

Maravilloso , gracias
