That feeling when you casually fall into a youtube recommendation spiral and wind up with your head in your hands weeping for the cruel beauty of the human condition

Today is the 200th anniversary of this monumental symphony. We are blessed to have a man like Beethoven, whose legacy still inspires us to this very day.

Just imagine sitting at the front seat on the 7th of May, 1824, witnessing this miracle unravel while at the same time watching the choir sit for 50 minutes straight without moving. You are telling to yourself: "Why on earth are they not doing anything ?" ... and then suddenly " FREUDE!!!!!!" It is said that the audience at the end was ecstatic. They knew Beethoven couldn't hear them applause, so they were throwing their hats and scarfs up in the air. This music is an unbelievable gift to humanity.

People don't talk about this enough, the ending is actually the best part, a fast Coda, ending with just 5 short notes, end of story, no dragging, it's Beethoven's equivalent of a mic-drop, as if saying :"I've said all there is to say, this is it."

Klaus Makela is 24 years old...and conducting the Oslo Philharmonic...there's a bright future for him no doubt!
-
What I wouldn't give to be that guy. Young, handsome, healthy, and performing the most perfect music ever written with a flawless group of world class musicians... Yeah, not gonna lie, bit jelly here.

Who dare dislikes this? It's literally a masterpiece in 4k FOR FREE.

Every orchestra should hire that videographer
-
This is Beethoven's gift for humanity

That was Flawless! Klaus Mäkelä is Psychopathically Perfect! This Philharmonic is synchronized and precise like a Swiss Clock!! The budget to assemble these All-stars must be astronomical! Royal Concertgebouw are the best? I don't see why! and who is doing these rankings!! This is the best Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 ever!!! by far!!

I thought I could "multitask" and casually take in Klaus and the Oslo Phil...., turns out, their presentation of the 9th is so remarkable, I've found myself thinking, I don't recall hearing is so "richly" before. I'm no longer multitasking, Herr von Beethoven, Klaus, and the Philharmonic have won me over without trying. That's the power of music.

Klaus was 23 years old when he conducted this performance... brilliant!
-
10/10 videography. 10/10 sound design. 10/10 conductor. 10/10 experience.

이렇게 멋진 음악 을 들을 수 있다는게 너무 감사하고 행복 합니다. ~~~~~~~
-
After this performance surely even the most pessimistic of us must feel there is some hope for humanity.
-
Shostakovich is now conducting Beethoven symphonies. Nice.

For anyone who loves the buildup to the famous section at 1:06:51, if you've never heard this piece done in a slower Tempo then do yourself a favor and check out the legendary Otto Klemperer's work in which he conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1970 ("Symphony No. 9 in D minor, op 125 - Klemperer"). Klemperer's slower Tempo, combined with Beethoven's out-of-this-world composition, is simply magical.

My heart is in tears .. to think my last father's wish was this piece of art to be played in his funeral and we fullfiled this last wish. I will always remember you dad .
