Love from IRAN🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊As an Iranian fighter pilot who served in war, watching Bernard Haitink conduct Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 feels strikingly familiar. This symphony's dynamic shifts-its sudden crescendos, calm adagios, and soaring climaxes-remind me of flying a fighter jet. Just as a plane takes off in a sudden climb to 30,000 feet, the symphony ascends with immense energy, then levels smoothly, almost like reaching cruising altitude. Yet, just as a jet suddenly dives or performs loops, Beethoven’s score plunges into intense, syncopated rhythms, pulling the listener in every direction. Like Haitink leading with closed eyes, a pilot often operates on instinct alone, even under the intense force of a 7 to 10 G dive. His mastery and the orchestra’s precision are breathtaking-demonstrating, like in combat, how skill and instinct become one🍀🍀🍀🍀🥊🥊🥊🥊🍀🍀🍀🍀🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@autumnleaves2766]

I love Beethoven's music and the 7th Symphony is truly remarkable. I am a dedicated amateur jazz pianist and have even been trying to play the opening theme of the 2nd movement by ear as I cannot read music. Apparently when this great work received its premiere, Beethoven had to be turned round to realise that the audience were on their feet thunderously applauding. The scene is depicted beautifully in the film "Immortal Beloved" from 1995 with Gary Oldman as Beethoven. That this great genius could be robbed of his hearing by his early 30s and yet leave what he did for humanity for all time is truly remarkable. Beethoven represents the triumph over adversity, his life was not easy, and he denied himself the stability of a loving relationship in order to dedicate himself to his music. A genius and also a heroic figure. When I improvise on jazz tunes at the digital piano in my local church I like to think that I am on a low rung of the ladder of musical creativity, a hierarchy of music which leads to the likes of Beethoven at the very top. I love it when he did variations eg Diabelli variations for piano. My favourite works of the German genius are: Symphonies 1,3,5,6,7 and 9; the piano sonatas, especially the later ones; the songs; the late quartets as performed by the very best players. Beethoven also had humour in his music too eg in the Eroica piano variations at one point. We should always encourage family and friends who don't know Beethoven's music to try it, for me it is like a lifelong friend that never lets you down. Great performance from Bernard Haitink and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, much appreciated on a night when I could not get to sleep.

Bravo, Maestro Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra! I've been a bit obsessed with Beethoven's 7th for some time, and had the pleasure of attending the Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra's performance of the 7th early this year. 2022 has been my personal "Year of Beethoven"; I've attended a number of concerts by both the FWSO and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and heard several Beethoven symphonies (including the symphony of symphonies, the 9th) and piano concertos. What a thrill it's been!! Though nothing beats a live performance, listening to/watching all the classical music on YTube is the next best thing. I'm grateful to all the musicians/orchestras and to YTube for providing such a rich diversity of music for us to enjoy 🥰🎵

A fun moment in music: The Detroit Symphony went on tour of Europe with the newly appointed Antal Dorati in the 1970s at the height of Von Karajans prowess. They were performing in the concert hall of the Berlin Philharmoniker. The soloist took ill and as was the custom then, the Maestro requested of the hall music librarian what piece he wanted the DSO to perform as a substitute. He smiled and said: "Beethoven's Seventh Symphony." They sight read the piece with such passion and perfection that they received a thunderous standing ovation from the audience. Dorati walked backstage behind the side curtains and danced as Stallone in the movie Rocky. Can never get that image out of my head or the roar of the audience.

Second movement is resurrection music. Insurmountable odds? Crushing weight on your shoulders? Wonderful. There is work to be done. Worlds to be created. Gods to be born.

If I am not mistaken this version of Beethoven´s symphony no 7 becomes an example of something that is really good from the start, and then becomes even better under Bernard Haitinks conducting. Never have I heard such a splendid version of this symphony, with an orchestra so full of spirit that it can lift the roof of this Concertgebouw many meters. All under maestro Bernard Haitink, he is the real hero of this performing.

The 2nd movement is my favourite. I can relate to the intensity being somewhat tempestuous myself. It's so beautiful. This was the first symphony I ever heard performed professionally so it will always have a near & dear place in my heart. Danke Herr Beethoven! =)

Haitink's conduction inspires me to learn music. Ecstactic.

A sublime performance from the Concertgebouw, and the great master Haitink, whose devotion to beauty has illumined my life for half a century.
