About West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
A miracle, one would in light of the Middle East conflicts believe: the worldwide respected West-Eastern Divan Orchestra is made up of young musicians from Israel, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Spain. The proceeds from this benefit concert will go to the Fundación Barenboim-Said and their music education programs in the Palestinian territories.
This performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony was the highlight of the West-Eastern Divan's summer tour 2006 with Daniel Barenboim and the concert at the Berlin Philharmonic, which featured acclaimed singers such as Angelika Denoke, Burkhardt Fritz, Waltraud Meier and René Pape.

I have loved the Ninth since I first heard a recording of it. I've seen it performed "LIVE" many times over the years. BUT, I THINK THIS PRODUCTION BY BARENBOIM AND THESE YOUNG MUSICIANS THAT HE ASSEMBLED -- IT IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!

[@galyapyasetsky]

Thank you, dear Maestro Daniel Barenboim, that you give the opportunity today to watch and hear the great performance of Beethoven’s Symphony 9 on Christmas Day, conducting the Orchestra you created so skilfully. Today Christians in the Western world celebrate Christmas, which represents the birth of something bright and joyful. Although I am not a Christian, I consider this holiday important for all people. At Christmas people celebrate the bright hope, joy, and peace, that comes into the world. These thoughts the genius of Beethoven include in his great music of Symphony 9. Nowadays when there are wars In the world the performing of Beethoven’s Symphony 9 has special meaning and importance. So once again I would say many thanks to you, Dear Maestro Daniel Barenboim, at this special day for your great work that allow people to enjoy great music which awakens in their souls hope for peace and friendship between all people of all nationalities.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony conducted by Daniel Barenboim and performed by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, what a way to welcome in this Thursday morning in the UK after a stormy night in which I could not sleep. I could listen to this great symphony a thousand times and never grow tired of it. Same goes for the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th symphonies too. Beethoven is the gift that keeps on giving, a composer whose work I was exposed to early in life, helped by one of my older siblings who loves his music too and has an advanced knowledge of his compositional techniques and life. Beethoven is a lifelong friend who will never let you down. I love the piano sonatas too and much of the other chamber music, and not forgetting the Diabelli Variations and "Fidelio". Beethoven had so much adversity in life and somehow he overcame it all and left us his most amazing compositions for all eternity. This is a superb performance by the young men and women of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under the baton of the living legend that is Daniel Barenboim, a man who deserves the Nobel Prize.

To praise joy despite a life with so many pains, including knowing that you are losing your hearing that is the worst curse for a musician (And Beethoven was already deaf when he wrote the ninth and most of the greatest masterpieces he gave to music) is not something that a normal composer could have done. It is true that the ode to joy was a commission, but Beethoven knew he was talking to everybody us, and so he didn't wrote just a Symphony, he wrote a masterpiece. Finding the courage to continue writing, to continue dreaming despite so many broken dreams like the one of being a father and having a family it's not for ordinary men. Beethoven could do it, because Beethoven defied fate as he himself said, and continued to hold it in his hand until his death. The ninth is the Symphony of all of us, Beethoven could only hear it in his head, so he wrote it only for all of us: mankind. The ninth is the Symphony of free men, of men who live as brothers, of men who have the courage to suffer and to get up again. Rest in peace Ludwig, you will always be not only one of the greatest composers, you will always be the greatest hero in the history of music.

This orchestra is superb. Wonderfully led by a true maestro. After 200 years Beethoven's 9th is finally beginning to open up and start to display its full blossom. With brilliant talent like this, our beloved LvB is in good hands for the future. In another 100 years this piece will be even better, and again with each century. We can thank and praise his faithfulness to our Lord God in Christ that Beethoven turned into the wind and showed us what "growing a pair" against adversity can produce. A remarkable man.

[@barney6888]

@@user-bb1xb5vg8h Hello !!

[@autumnleaves2766]

Well said, I totally agree. Beethoven was a genius who had to overcome so much, from a drunken and abusive father, to his mood swings, to his deafness by the age of around 30, to denying himself love in order to dedicate himself to his music, to surviving the siege of Vienna, to being misunderstood because he seemed socially awkward, to the declining health later in his life. Now the scientists in Vienna are examining skull fragments and of course his DNA has already been extracted and examined. I wish that DNA could be put on all the major family history research websites that offer DNA testing to their members. As a dedicated amateur jazz pianist who loves to improvise, I would love to discover a distant kinship to Ludwig van Beethoven, I think most classical music lovers would to be honest. Beethoven was so advanced in his thinking that he donated his brain and skull to science, he'd probably already figured out that one day important discoveries would be made as a result of studying it. The scientists have discovered for example that Beethoven had the DNA sequence which meant he was predisposed to liver problems. It has also been revealed that one paternal ancestor could not have been a van Beethoven. Was he a Flemish and German mix, or was there some other lineage there too ? I am sure the Viennese scientists will get to the bottom of it all one day.

[@Toshi1907]

In these times of hatred, nothing better than showing how peaceful coexistence can be so beautiful and nothing more illustrative than the work in which Beethoven talks about love between men.

[@annedwyer797]

The Ninth is so profound! The opening of the 1st movement always makes me think of the Universe forming from swirling clouds of gas, and then it builds until the Big Bang occurs...it's the symphony of symphonies. Last year I was fortunate to attended the Dallas Symphony's performance of the Ninth, a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[@autumnleaves2766]

Well said, I think in this one symphony Beethoven says everything that needs to be said and all in about one hour of music or just over. It is like a journey from chaos into order, as you say. Also love the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th symphonies, for example the slow movements of both the 3rd and 7th and the final movement of the 7th, the greatest back beat in the history of classical music. Many young people say they don't like classical music, often because they simply have not been exposed to it at home or school. If you could play them that final movement of the 7th, they would be up out of their chairs dancing along to the driving beat. My favourite composer along with Mozart. Beethoven was the genius who triumphed over adversity, we can all learn from him.
