Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 | Vasily Petrenko & the European Union Youth Orchestra (complete symphony)

Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, played by the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) under the baton of Vasily Petrenko. In this August 4, 2019 concert recording from the Young Euro Classic festival in Berlin’s Konzerthaus, the outstanding virtuosity of this European youth orchestra is once again made evident. The young musicians display their mastery in a work even as demanding as Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with great dynamism, and a tangible delight in performing.
‘Beethoven's Ninth as the symphony of Europe’ might easily have been the motto of this concert, in which Europe is represented in many aspects: Firstly as the European Union Youth Orchestra brings together the most talented young musicians from all of the EU’s member states; secondly because the Young Euro Classic festival - with young orchestras from all over the world - is a celebration of Europe’s classical music tradition; and thirdly since it is Beethoven's arrangement of Friedrich Schiller's poem Ode To Joy - in the fourth movement of the 9th Symphony - which in 1985 served as the template for the song that has been the European Union’s official anthem.
A chance for the audience to sing along to this European anthem is the shimmering climax of this Beethoven concert. In the concert hall as well as on the public square outside the building, the watching audiences passionately sing along to ‘Freude, schöner Götterfunken’. It’s a statue of Schiller - of all things - that looms in white marble above the singing crowds in front of the Konzerthaus on Gendarmenmarkt; a goosebump-inducing moment in which the utopia of a universal community of all people - brought to life by Schiller and set to music by Beethoven - becomes, for a moment, reality.
If you would like to experience Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as a moving and atmospheric celebration of human ideals, this concert by the EUYO is for you.

Un inchino al grande Beethoven che da sempre rappresenta una delle colonne portanti del patrimonio musicale che, con gli estri artistici di molti altri compositori accompagnano le emozioni delle nostre vite. Questa performance della European Union Youth orchestra, condotta dalla validissima giovane bacchetta di Vasily Petrenko, unisce artisti che completano questo gioiello musicale con il contributo insostituibile della corale. Ho ascoltato e visto varie volte questo eccellente risultato , gustandolo, per varie ragioni : organico strumentale completo. Esecuzione totale ottima. Intelligente ripresa visiva con una efficace sensibilità della regia, che ha permesso di scoprire la attenzione del pubblico , oltre a primi piani di strumentisti con i loro sguardi appassionati di intesa nella consapevolezza dell' affrontare questo granitico capolavoro musicale. Bravi, bravi, bravissimi. Una scalata artistica non facile, che oltre ad essere meravigliosa non ha mai fine.

Nothing, not even profound deafness, could stop the force of music pouring out of Beethoven. The power of his music, when combined with the words of Schiller, and played by an orchestra the absolute epitome of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, stands as a constant reminder that together is better than apart. Fantastic performance by all involved, and especially by the EUYO.

Beethoven est probablement le plus grand génie humaniste de tous les temps. Et cette interprétation est un hommage emouvant à cette œuvre immortelle

[@fernandomontenegrodiaz9205]

Totalmente de acuerdo. Me pregunto, cómo ésta sublime obra, nos permite ir en búsqueda (constante) de una paz, de una hermandad con nuestras particular diferencias como seres humanos, donde dejamos por un instante el egoísmo, el poder en todas sus expresiones y nos coloquemos en el puesto del otro (empatía).

[@caltamino]

I love every note of music that Beethoven wrote But the greatest composer of all time,in my opinion, was Mozart not Beethoven. To see what I’m talking about listen to Mozart’s Soave sia il vento, from Cosi fan Tutte by Mozart. This sublime trio starts out simply as a wish of a safe voyage. But the second time they go through the lyrics of Lorenzo da Ponte, on the word desir (desire). Mozart changes the desire for a safe voyage into sexual desire. Mozart does this by simply adding a chord that you will feel tugs at your insides. Only Mozart could transform a wish for a safe voyage into sexual desire by adding a simple chord.
