  • Amazing

  • the fall <3 i love that movie

  • Beautiful!!!

  • The trailer music ALONE made me want to see the movie.

  • Excelente !!!

  • My favorite piece by Beethoven.

  • Thx OverlordFaust for posting this. IMHO, this is a beautiful piece and it goes very well with a visually vibrant movie. Ack, now I have to dig thru my storage and find my bluray copy to play on my 70. Regards...

  • I don't mean to be petty, but this isn't a song!

  • Yes, I want to know which this version is, too.

    Some people here recognize it as a Karajan piece. May be.

    Others say it is "The Fall" version (The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, cond. Deian Pavlov). It certainly is not. Both are about the same tempo, but this video's version is much more legato than the movie's version.

    Whatever, both are SO,SO good, make my heart melt...

    Why doesn't the video uploader provide the nessesary information about a piece like this???

  • @LaissezFaireAll Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, II. Allegretto By Beethoven. This is all the info I got. Hope it's helpful. =)

  • @jaishreena No, I didn't mean which music piece it was, I knew it was Beethoven's 7th, 2nd mov. I meant which orchestra/conductor is playing in this particular recording.

    Thanx, for answering, though!! :)

  • @LaissezFaireAll Its the The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Deian Pavlov.... belive it or not... anyway this piece is unique somehow

  • @UnleashedEsX No, this video here is not a recording of the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, cond. by Deian Pavlov.

    Bulgarian orchestra recording was on Tarsem's The Fall (the actual movie's) opening titles. This video here IS NOT the same recording as the one of the movie's titles.

    So, which recording is this OverlordFaust's video here?

  • @LaissezFaireAll i am checking the interpretations and you are right... they are different... but maybe its another interpretation... if you listen here... the percussion is different..... anyway "the fall" took 4 years to be made...... and this piece is played in the trailer, the opening and the credits

  • @UnleashedEsX OK then, we agree that "The Fall" 's recording & this video's recording are definitely two different interpretations. Quite different, actually. So much that it is impossible to both be different recordings by the same orchestra+conductor, even within 4 years.

    My guess is this video is some random (but great) recording (guessing a Karajian) from some Beethoven CD in some house shelf, to which the uploader never gave enough attention to write credits/info about.

  • @LaissezFaireAll thats almost certain.... anyway this video dont give enought information, look the title "The Fall-Symphony no.7 movement 2(FULL VERSION)" i think its a wrong title for the video, and i think its likely that he figured out the title of the song and got it from another cd and pasted it with the pic of the movie =P.... and we are breaking our heads here.... btw, have a nice day

  • @UnleashedEsX LOL, we are breaking our heads! We sure did, but enough with it. Whatever. :))

    Have a nice day too! <3

    PS to the uploader: Don't mind the bitching, I'm really thankful to you for uploading this brilliant interpretation of this amazing music, wherever it came from... :)

  • Great example of a fugue

  • Quintessential Beethoven

  • who was the conductor of this version? it's one of the best interpretations i've heard

  • Comment removed

  • i love beethoven 

  • awesome.

  • 5 people fall so bad

  • my favorite symphony movement of all time! When I heard this in The Fall I almost died! XO so happy... thank you!

  • frickin' aweeeeesooooome!

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • Chazzam3663 dude, shut up. I dont see the fall winning any oscars.

  • I love how they used the music throughout the whole movie. Like when they used the Indian, they mixed it with some kind of Indian tune, it's lovely! Wish there were a soundtrack of this masterpiece :(

  • Did you know that water reflects beautiful shapes when its vibrated by this music. It can be visualized by putting water in a transparant bowl with a light on top. Guess that happens also in our bodies.

  • @SSamerrrr i want a video.

  • I wish I could listen to it all day...the best way to escape...makes you feel powerful...!

  • from 1:55 i got shivers

  • THe Kings Speech used this piece as a cheap attempt to make the us "feel" the importance of the scene. The Fall beautiful wove the music, visuals and story together so that both works of art complemented each other beautifully.

  • cannot stop listening to this over and over just love it....wish i was someone who could sit around embroidering all day and listen to this kind of thing. Im being distracted by the enormity of the music and can't concentrate.

  • This is Beethoven's best work. Inspired.

  • @rufushound99 Hardly, but it's very good.

  • this feels to me that in some way it HAD to be written. i'm not sure what that means, but very few pieces give me that feeling. (also i'm not even a beethoven fanatic.)

  • The worst part is at 8:01

  • @jonnyabbotti true dat!

  • heard it in the kings speech :)

  • @ChuckNorr13579 I found that usage a little odd- considering how well the directors managed to put together all of the lovely period details, I found it a little odd that they used a German piece for the scene when he declared war on Germany.

  • forever hidden simplicity in music

  • This was also use in the movie"The Knowing". Sarah Brightman used this for the song "Figlio Perduto( Lost Son)" on her La Luna album.

  • Can you believe Knowing (2009) (starring Nicholas Cage) also uses this piece?

  • Wonderful

  • !!!!!Genial, Exelente!!!!... los invito a escuchar toda la GRAN Sinfonia....

  • I am now learning to play this on the violin for strings class :3 I feel overjoyed, but its harder to play than it sounds... especially since i am currently in 8th grade... :)

  • Most beautiful piece ever written. This is a heavenly movement. I was thrilled to hear it in THEKings Speech. Kimp401

  • beautiful movie i love it.

  • Irréversible

  • The Fall= Visual ORGASM

  • @Diegoveloso3 do you mean audial

  • @purplehaze216 hmmm, probably both

  • This is Beethoven's Symphony no 7, movement 2, not a hollywood film song. I think the video title should be corrected to give the credit to Beethoven not only the movie makers who used this music.

  • it's sad that such a musically ingenious song has a couple million less views than a justin beiber or rebecca black song.

  • @TeddySchantz I don't think it is. Surely it's been appreciated far longer.. and will be, come to that? I've found it a great comfort tonight, terribly upset with so many questions about everything. This is most definitely a comfort.

  • @ the end of the movie is almost epic... Cant stop thinking about all those B/W shots when I listen to it now.

  • @Guayakore Please don't call it a song.

  • @xerxes52 when did she?

  • Such a beautiful film.

  • It is common knowledge that if you use the greatest classical music as a soundtrack, you can improve just about any movie.

  • @postalcode2934

    True but The Fall is an excellent movie in its own right and is befitting the music.

  • @postalcode2934 I've found that most great movies also have great soundtracks.

  • and in the end, ZARDOZ re-created man

  • The Kings Speech

  • @creapsmantic Watched this in my Political Science class a bit ago. Was stuck in my head for days. Catchy classical? What in the hell?

  • @Fwixeh - It's Beethoven. That explains everything.

  • @Joaquin602001 I know, right? Lol, I heard this song, realized it was an epic classical piece, and knew instantly it was Beethoven. :D

  • i heard this song in the moviee Knowing. when the world is destroyed by the sun.

  • I've heard this in so many movies but still every time I can't help but recall the wonderful opening scene in the Fall.

  • Beautiful in The Fall, but unfortunately when i listen to this i instantly think of the film Irreversible..

  • Wasn't this song in the last parts of Knowing right before the world burned up? o.O

  • PLEASE: how is the director and orchestra? beautifully played!

  • @gwessel1

    From imdb.com:

    Performed by The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Deian Pavlov

  • i'm wandering with this melody in my ears at the background.

  • this song gives me chills

  • The Gun is good

    The Penis is evil

  • @zombat Why must you force me to conjure up images of Sean Connery in a bikini?

  • @Quicksilver6

    I'd say thats a personal problem.

    It makes me think of Sean Connery in a green tunic growing old in cave

  • @zombat tell me.......... ........which drug?

  • @psychOpicka

    Zardoz!

  • @zombat I too think of Zardoz- I think that the movie without this music may have been quite different.

  • best damn movie, RIP Wallace

  • @roadtorevolucion man i swear i listened to the entire song once, having glanced at your comment, and i didn't have a clue what you were on about. i clicked play again, scrolled back down and then..... OHHHHHHHHH Darwin's monkey! hahahaha, poor Wallace.

  • the kings speech.

  • this is the only classical music i can enjoy. this piece is just incredibly powerful

  • Beethoven is SO MUCH BETTER than Def Leppard. Never thought I'd say that about anybody. This is an amazing day.

  • @longlivecrow come on man, you can't compare the two.

  • @agnosticforce for real i agree im not into def leppard that much but comparing it to beethoven is like comparing apples and rock candy ywo completely differant things now comparing him to bach would make more sense

  • amazing song. played this and it has so much power yet calmness to it.

  • they used this for an Oscars montage.

    Suddenly thought of the Fall and thought of how this film didn't receive the recognition it deserved.

  • @ASacredSpirit No, the Oscars didn't "use it for the montage", it's the music played during the scene from the King's Speech used for the montage.

    Perfect music used for the climax of a very good film.

  • @D3m3ntii4 HMM I must be blind or deaf, but I do remember this playing during not only scenes from the King's Speech but also scenes from other Best Picture nominees. As you can see this is not an original piece written for that film's soundtrack.

  • @ASacredSpirit Thanks, I do know that this is from Beethoven and not an original piece written for the King's Speech - that is not what I said. I said it was not a coincidence that it was used during this montage, it's the music played during the speech used for the montage ! I just corrected what you said, because you didn't see the King's Speech. I wasn't praising this movie or anything. I'm gonna stop now, my english is terrible

  • @D3m3ntii4 ah okay I understand. I might have to check out the film now. I bet that scene is very moving...from the small parts I saw. Thanks for the information.

    *Your English is fine. Just a misunderstanding! Sorry for coming off cold.

  • @D3m3ntii4 Also, this is from Beethoven. You know that right? This has been used in a few films. This particular movie came out around 2007.

  • good song good movie

  • I heard this song on the movie Knowing. When I first heard it I was like D: Amazing.... I must look this up!

  • may be the best single classical piece ever!?!

  • beethoven sucks

  • @sheepgod500

    You would know. You let him blow you.

  • @sheepgod500 bieber fan?

  • @sheepgod500 eat penis

  • This piece gives me chills, simply amazing

  • Beethoven makes everything looks megaawesome.

  • i balled my eyes out when she told him not to kill the bandit. It was a very moving moment for me...

  • its a beautiful exquisite song to a equally exquisite film

  • Just HOW MANY movies have used this piece?? :O

  • @Marievska this is the first i've ever heard of the piece. it's exquisitely played and written. i could listen to it all day long. XD

  • @crazyabouttwilight23 If you want to listen to a modernized version of this Beethoven composition, pull up Sarah Brightman's "Figlio perduto".

  • @Marievska I t was just used in the film "the King's Speech" where George VI gave his speech at the begining of WWII. It was quite good.

  • It's awesome!!! :))

  • At 6:00, I unfailingly get goosebumps. Every single time.

  • The first time I heard this music was for the opening of a Hallmark film ( "The Redwoods" something or another ), and I could never find out who did it. Then again in Mr. Holland's Opus.......Finally after about a year, I ran into a member of an orchestra in a local bar...I was trying to sing/hum the damned thing.......He was able to identify it for me.

  • Watched " The Kings Speech" last night, Amazing film by the way, but this piece i have listened to since i was a child, beautifully done, well done Beethoven.

    Only one man can move the human conscience with a piece of music, poetic, moving, powerful.

    This piece of music will stay with me forever.

  • i would love to hear this live. Live orchestras brings so much life to classical pieces like this.

  • I saw "The King's Speech" tonight and they used this piece during his climactic final speech--utterly amazing!

  • i love it ! <3

  • Your description of this piece is perfect. What you have left if let loose is the end.. I never want this piece to end.

  • Your description of this piece is perfect.

  • I thought this was The Fall the band fromt he UK wtf

  • Theme song of flirtation with Chuck Norris!

    

  • @RenatoUrbanoGomes Chuck Norris is gay. So are his fans. Chuck Norris jokes are sooo 2005.

  • @RushAnthem69 You shouldn't use "gay" to describe something you don't like. It might offend some people you know...

  • @PhilippaCup That is true, that response was on impulse. I apologise.

  • @RushAnthem69 Such apologies are rare. Very noble of you :)

  • Ear candy

  • This is SO not the best version of this piece! Way too fast and messy.

  • Comment removed

  • @starsmaniac What would you say the best recording is?

  • If it wasn't for my Netflix account I would have never known about this movie. I cannot believe it didn't do better! I loved this film so much I watched it three times in a row. It did such an amazing job of capturing the outstanding beauty of human engineering, heart and life!

  • The Ludwig Van

  • I teared up as the storyteller was explaing to the girl how he had used her...

  • a hidden gem

  • pure awesomeness!

  • to me, this movie is too special... it has unique storyline, majestic locations, beautiful cinematography, striking colors, haunting sounds, subliminal messages and symbolism, emotions, good-looking people with fantastic acting skills, and the chemistry between the child and the young man captured many hearts

  • one of the most beautiful movies i have ever seen. and i rly rly dont understand how it can be so infamous? and auw the music is also just.... amazing.

  • love this.

  • one of my all time favourite films!

  • obviously those critics are all cheap-minded... such a shame they can't see what we see in this unique film.

  • I love this movement from Symphony 7! I am transcribing it for 2 pianos, 8 hands (4 people).

  • one word. WOW

  • reviews of this have stated that the story is a bit thin. they all overlook the point of the film though, a sort of tribute to stunt men throughout the ages, that they do the hardest work and receive the least credit. the story roy tells is just a vehicle to display his genius as an individual and that it is all sadly untapped, but that childhood, what all true art aspires to, is the mind that appreciates roy's dissociative narrative. this is a trap the film sets, and the critics fell for it.

  • @sheatheman

    i agree...the critics were very lousy at doing their job.

  • One of the biggest and most underrated masterpieces in the history of movies. I had goosebumps almost throughout the whole movie.

    K.C.

  • Who does this soundtrack? Is it Beethoven?

  • @Yashendwirh yup! well, idk who plays this particular version, but you're right on with the composer, definitely beethoven

  • @Yashendwirh yes, the director contacted him and he composed this piece specifically for the opening scene.

  • Thank you so much I have been looking for this forever!!!

  • This movie was absolutely beautiful...it's only suiting they used this music.

  • heartbreaking, heart filling, longing, sorrow, passion always

  • Two people missed the like button or listen to Justin Bieber.

    K.C.

  • This, like so much of his work, showcases an ability to blend phrases of passion, abandon, restraint, calm, perseverence and aggression through passages of music that are at their greatest elloquence. God's taking good care of him.

  • Thank you!

  • love exposure > the fall > knowing....

  • Awe-Inspiring

  • Only Beethoven. There's so much power, but it's so well focused, so restrained, almost unbearably so, so you want to just let it all loose at once, and in the first three minutes there's almost a climax where you get to do just that, but even there the tension of the constrained power remains, and pushes forward into the rest of the piece. It's one thing to have power, but to know how to use it is a gift.

  • @goldencricket

    The way you described this movement is perfect. i couldn't pin down the language to describe this magnificant song.

  • @goldencricket

    The way you described this movement is perfect. i couldn't pin down the language to describe this magnificant song.

    I also think that we want let it loose because we know what's coming. Imagine being a virgin to this song. what an amazing experience

  • @verbalvegetarian: I was a virgin to this song until today. And yes, it is amazing!

  • @goldencricket It's know that Beethoven had a pet spider ..

  • @goldencricket You are absolutely correct, I feel symphony 7 is Beethovens finest.. his restraint is what makes this brilliant and heartbreaking.. while I am in awe of his last great work symphony 9. he let loose, as I knew he would and I wanted it to be the way it was.. his last greak work had to be overbearing, and completely all encompassing.. but this one was so sublime throughout the entirety it brings for more emotion for me.

  • @goldencricket actually at around 6:05 I suppose that is his crescendo.. but was very short only 5 seconds long, still could have been far more powerful, love the restraint

  • @goldencricket it is like unattainable love; the harder it is to get resolution, the more intense and romantic

  • @goldencricket So perfectly stated. Thank you.

  • @goldencricket Well said mate, this melody has been in my head for weeks now and I've finally found it.

  • One of the best music ever made! Magnificent! Beethoven was a genius and his works 'll live for long times through the ages...
