Our daughter is 8 and has severe autism. She almost non-verbal yet she seems to understand this piece. It helped her redirect from having a loud screaming behavior. This piece expresses so much about the human condition without words.

[@mithranigrandaric5872]

Autism is hard to deal with. Might I recommend when they are screechy or clearly overwhelmed, a dark quiet room can help. Because on average autistic people persevere 8 times as much stimulation. So lights and sound are the biggest enemy. Hope this helps.

[@DWClassicalMusic]

Interesting thought! He would certainly be amazed 😀

[@rabokarabekian409]

excerpts form "Beethoven's Ninth: Reactions vary over the centuries" When he conducted the premiere, Beethoven couldn't hear a note of it. Few in the audience knew he was deaf until the music ended, and he continued to wave his arms. He had to be turned toward the audience to see the tumultuous applause. Beethoven's Ninth was not a runaway best seller when it was first performed in 1824 and even throughout the 19th Century. "Monstrous," thundered a respected critic of Beethoven's day. "...very much like Yankee Doodle," sniffed a Providence, R.I. newspaper in 1868. "Unspeakable cheapness," declared Boston's Musical Record in 1899.

Beethoven once told a Prince, "Prince, what you are, you are through chance and birth; what I am, I am through my own labor. There are many princes and there will continue to be thousands more, but there is only one Beethoven." So I'm of the opinion that were he to be asked on his thoughts of his music being played and celebrated nearly 200 years later, he would say something to the effect of "As it should be!"

Beethoven 9 is the epitome of music, the embodiment of the human nature; joy, happiness, sadness, suffering, passion, indifference, brotherhood, betrayal and just about anything that makes human life so significant and cherished despite how useless we are in the grand scheme of things...

Beethoven; the hero who won victory in his battle against destiny and fate - truly transcending above the limits of mortal passion...❤

I found a brand new appreciation for Daniel Barenboim after watching this. I have always had a great admiration for him but I am extremely prejudice when it comes to Beethoven's 9th after years of listening, watching and twice attending live in Berlin and Chicago, with Herbert Von Karajan and Leonard Bernstein. Those men casted a giant shadow in the classical music world but as the time passes, others must eventually pick up their torches and continue the divine journey of these timeless masterpieces. Bravo to Mr. Barenboim, must have lost a few pounds through sweating! Without sheets? Memorized all the lyrics? Didn't even know he spoke German! Kudos sir. Bravo to extremely young yet exceptionally talented musicians. A few side notes: Frau Angela Denoke (Soprano) was way off more than a few times! Herr Burkahrd Fritz (Tenor) left most of his consonants unfinished. Kudos to Bass; Rene Pape and Mezzo-Soprano Waltraud Meier. I have never seen the orchestra being arranged this way, I.E. Cellos in center? Pretty interesting. Overall I give this performance %93. Thank you Deutsche Welle for this presentation.

[@leeingram5187]

Keep in mind that the musicians will keep playing almost no matter what the conductor does. It is almost as if you were waving a stick in front of your stereo. It is a common misconception that the conductor is somehow "playing" the orchestra like a piano. The conductor's main job is as a rehearsal coach. By the time you get to the concert his job is mostly done. Many of them put on a good show at concerts and some of them are inspiring the musicians to play their best. Most of them have oversized egos and take as much of the credit as people will give them.

[@leeingram5187]

@@TreeSymphony52 Are you a conductor? Or have you worked under many different conductors or attended rehearsals with some of the great conductors as I have? My point is that most people overestimate the importance of the conductor. They usually have the biggest egos and will take all the credit and are not necessarily the most accomplished musicians. Your"wrong answer" response lacks nuance and shows a lack of experience with the orchestral dynamic.

[@leeingram5187]

@@TreeSymphony52 One of THE most impressive conductors I ever witnessed was Claudio Abbado. He had real leadership skills and possessed humility, which was unusual in this big ego field. His approach brought out the musicians dedication and love of the music, and they worked together to bring about amazing performances, with everyone on board to bring about the best possible performance. This kind of synergy is rare in the human experience and when tapped into is transmitted to the audience as a rare, uplifting and entrancing experience. There are only a few conductors that can bring this kind of intention to their work, inspiring their team to create magic.

@@silverlinings3946 Just imagine having to orchestrate so many instruments, balancing the French horns and percussions, yet keeping violins expressive throughout the adagio's musical phrasing.... A true masterpiece: a first choral symphony which could not fail ! As an example, consider the same difficulty in painting. Late in his life, Monet lost part of his vision, due to cataract & glaucoma. Yet, he still had to paint to make ends meet. His colours became more agressive and weren't as delicate as those of his youth. Somehow, he did not managed his visual handicap.

It is impossible even to imagine that such a Grandiose Musical Composition could have been born in the mind of a completely deaf man... What a truly Grandiose, amazing and beautiful kind of mind it was... no, not "was".. - it is. 1:01:30

[@ediccartman7252]

As a professional musician , I can tell you , it's NOT that impossible to imagine. And even more - when you become deaf , your inner hearing becomes sharper by far, cz nothing disturbs you from the outside. You can write, sitting at the table, going somewhere in chariot and even sleeping - you just need to listen to your inner voice. And some composers who didn't have such a problem, still didn't need the instrument to compose the music - for example Mahler used to write , when he walked in the mountains.

We had the pleasure of listening to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim for many years. We love Muti, Barenboim was something special.

Yes, Muti could bring out so much of the CSO. I went to two performances of Mozart piano cto #23 and Mahler 5th sym. Stunning, it sounded like two distinctly different orchestras between the pieces!

[@spikespa5208]

This was an amazing performance. But prefer the Orchestra's version during the 2012 BBC Proms. For one thing, the choir was almost 3 times as big, lending a lot more power. IMO (But the 1st flute is the same.)

@@spikespa5208 Our CSO was also blessed with Georg Solti for a number of years until his death. He took a second-rate orchestra and the rest is music history. But Barenboim was the consummate teacher.

¡QUE VIDEO TAN DECEPCIONANTE!!!...una GENIAL obra de L.V. Beethoven (9ª. Sinf.) causada por el MAL accionar de: PÉSIMA sincronización de los camarógrafos que parecieran NO haber escuchado jamás esta OBRA especial y segundo el director sin un ápice de carisma y expuesto en demasía, como si en su rostro estuviera retratada la BELLEZA Melódica… no es bueno recurrir a comparaciones pero esto obliga; nada que ver por ejemplo con las actuaciones del germano, V. Karajan o el italiano; L. Abbado. Como ejemplos.

Soy un arquitecto chileno que ama la música clásica desde niño cuando escuchaba los discos 33 1/3 que ponía mi madre. Daniel Barenboim es un artista impresionante, tanto como pianista o como profesor, o como director de orquesta...pero lo más maravilloso que pienso que ha realizado es la idea de crear una orquesta de jóvenes israelíes y árabes como esta West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Interpretar a Wagner en Israel, pese a muchas oposiciones, demostró que la música es un arte independiente de la política y que había que ser más abiertos respecto a ello. Lo admiro profundamente y creo que no ha recibido los elogios que debiera por lo que ha logrado.

One of the greatest musical works ever composed. Never ceases to amaze, the scope and imagination of Beethoven, who had long since lost his hearing. What a remarkable human being he must have been. Growing up with a bullying, drunken father and looking like a neglected boy at school, piano prodigy, early compositions, already head of the family aged 18, the deaths in infancy of four of his siblings, being a young court musician, the mood swings, the denial of love in order to dedicate himself to his music, the battle for custody of his nephew, the political upheavals, the deafness. A genius who is my co-favourite composer with Mozart. This Symphony no 9 once discovered early in life becomes a lifelong friend. I also love the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th symphonies and the piano sonatas, the later ones take us off on a spiritual journey. Would love to hear what everyone's favourite Beethoven works are, in addition to this one of course !

[@erikgoodman3796]

Hi. I really resonate with your answer. As I just found out about Beethoven and his inspiring, magnificent and beautiful legacy, I really love to hear sonatas and symphonies I didn´t hear before. Right now I was totally amazed by this piece, sonata no. 23 (appassionata) and the Moonlight Sonata. I also started to play the piano and the first piece I learned was "Für Elise" which I also enjoy. I am thankful beyond words to have the possibility to enjoy his genius masterpieces. It´s amazing to see that one can overcome great difficulties in life and use all of his suffering and pain for something greater and good. Thank you for sharing your opinion and your impuls. I wish you all the best. Erik.
