The conductor is having the time of his life . He knows the music off by heart and is conducting the orchestra and choir as if they were his children . He is so proud . Sounds fantastic .

[@dubbelhenke854]

He is still conducting....93 years old!

You forget if you haven't listened to certain pieces of music for a while .. how utterly transcendent they are. You remember that you loved them, but you forget the involuntary response in your body. There is something in certain pieces of music to which not just your nervous system and your emotions respond .. but your very cells do as well. This piece of music has ALWAYS brought me to tears ... of Joy.

[@BoeingB17FF]

There are two pieces guaranteed to put a smile on my face no matter what's happening....An die freude and the Star Wars opening suite!

[@SSJ0016]

I love how many people in the choir are smiling while singing

the look on the conductors face when it was over brought me to tears

[@JohnRedshaw]

It's still the most deeply heartfelt expression of human aspiration that has ever been created in musical form. It asks if humanity can ascend to great acts, and then answers in glorious affirmation. It actually makes me feel happy to be a part of the human race, the part that embraces grand achievement and destiny.

[@markkubiak8296]

This creation is a magnificent achievement. But to think humanity is part of some grand destiny is delusional. Are you blind? Perhaps just caught up in the moment?

The greatest piece of music ever composed. Ode to Joy brings joy to humanity. Every time I watch or listen to any Symphony 9 rendition, I'm always moved to tears. It's a blessing to mankind.

[@jct184]

I believe the first part of the Ode to Joy melody was originated by Mozart in his K222.

Well it is called Ode to Joy for a reason ;D

[@andreabollinger9932]

After the awful pandemic time when such concerts and singing was forbidden, it was all the more uplifting that I was able to participate in a performance of Beethoven's 9th in the new Concert Hall in Basel/Switzerland this December. I cannot describe the feelings of even a "humble" choir member, the pride to be part of such a wonderful joint effort, you are catapulted into another dimension.

[@raztube90]

17:27 is the best part of this video. He saw the divine intelligence and came back to earth. Simply Beautiful.

[@jamesnabower6751]

God gave Beethoven the ability to express his feelings through music beautifully so that everyone could share them

This song is what I hear when i die, turn into and angel, and go up to heaven.

[@RobertGamble-b6l]

Ludwig at his exceptional best and such a magnificent production it must be a joy in itself to be part of the orchestra and choir, let alone be in the audience and noy an electronic device nor technology pollution to challenge what our flagging species can produce if challenged and dare I say it orchestratwd by such an impressive conductor at the helm, all 96 years of his experience.

[@ikki5806]

My one and favorite work of art amongst the three that have inspired me growing up (the other two being the new testament and The principia). Im a music lover and a pessimist and selfcritic by nature, but whenever I feel like sh*t, I remember that a human being, flawed as me, with as much selfdoubt as me (if not more), decided in his final years to pass on a life lesson of hope and a sugestion that we transcend ourselves to become better then we are. Just beautifull Herr Beethoven. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your final symphony has sustained me in many times of inner turmoil and allowed me to stop the temptation of giving up, raising my spirits instead. Thank you thank you

[@dougdell]

One of the most powerful, beautiful things ever written. Thank you, Herbert Blomstedt, performers, and tech crew. Inspiring.

[@geowil2493]

There are simply not enough 👍 available that I can apply to this performance. Mr. Blomstedt, the entire orchestra, and the choir are superb! This video never fails to lift my spirits into the heavens and beyond. (And I'm not even a devoted "fan" of classical music.) I always watch all the way to the end to see the beautiful range of emotions reflected on Mr. Blomstedt's face. And, oh yes, a special thanks to Mr. Beethoven and Mr. Schiller, too, for this masterpiece! 😂

[@KevinSmithGeo]

I kind of wish I could say it was something more nuanced, but for me it's 6:30. The magic doesn't work without the lead up though.

[@surajitmishra1155]

That is where the "double fugue" starts. The two themes in the double fugue are variations of the main theme and the march theme; they are on a faster beat so it is not so obvious. I can't imagine any other composer, Bach excluded, achieving such a feat. Considering that Beethoven was almost completely deaf by the time he composed this, it is nothing less that superhuman, divine perhaps.
