Flashmob Baku 2016 - Ode to Joy

[@swordfish7165]

Beautiful music ... beautiful voices ... and Azerbaijan has exceptionally beautiful women.

[@ilfarmboy]

music is truly the universal language

[@ArtAtelier62]

Not tanks, Rockets and soliders are the symbol of a Europe Union, where we ALL stand together. Look at the energy and the smiling faces of all that musicians and singers...its the music that is composed long ago from a genius musician! I´m so proud that Ludwig van Beethoven has been born in my country. Hopefully all the politicians, that never real try to go together as a UNION will understand this kind of music!!

[@wolfi7106]

Dieses Lied ist aktuell wie kaum jemals zuvor.

Sabadell of Spain, Napoli of Italy , Berlin and Nuremburg of German, Vienna in Austria, London of U.K , Tokyo and Osaka of japan and Baku of Azerbaijan all Musicians are performing and speak the same musical language with the same of enthusiasm Ode of Joy is an International anthem and make any audience worldwide to participate singing with fully happiness & much of joyful

[@jbolon1603]

Whether it is in Nurenberg, Spain, Minneapolis, Baku, Japan, China or anywhere else - this 'Song of Joy' in whichever country it is played - will indeed bring smiles to the audience present in each respective venue. It should be a song that unite the hearts of people from all walks of life instead of the strife, killing and hate that we see happening all over the world everyday.

[@rileyhoffman6629]

I can't help but weep.

[@mstrdiver]

It transcends language and strife to truly bring calm and joy to the listener.

[@EJStormful]

@@PyczastyNiechCośWrzuci We shouldn't mix this battlecry for humanity by Ludwig van B., with satanistic crimes, perpetuated by the enemies of humanity and brotherhood. At least, the Ninth chorus is our European anthem.

[@PilgernperRad]

Danke für diese Musik vom Ufer des Kaspischen Meeres! ♥Grüße vom Rhein (aus Köln) an unsere Schwestern und Brüder dort - und in aller Welt 🌍!

[@mikeporter5245]

I watch and listen to this video every day since I stumbled upon it. It has got to be the best music video ever!. It puts anything and everything put out by MTV and VH1 to shame. It also makes a profound cultural statement. It shows what happens when a majority Muslim country rejects the road to theocracy and chooses secularism instead. What a beautiful place and beautiful people!

[@arturoivanhernandezgalvan7544]

The way the director transmit their happyness, priceless.

[@josephcarter5101]

When a great music flashmob is done well, my eyes always get wet and they certainly did here. Excellent. Unite and engage the people. Inspirational. Thank you!

[@ianmclean68]

What mankind together can create ❤️

[@miklagard]

Beethoven is one of the greatest geniuses in the human history.

[@johnfleming5470]

no doubt about it

[@EJStormful]

And it makes me hopeful that so many persons all around the world feel the same about it, The Ninth is a genious battlecry for humanity it brings us emotional consciousness, that we all together are childs of a great creator and so are brothers and sisters in our whole life, no matter which social class, which nation or which heritage we beliefe to belong.

[@TM-qj6io]

Agreed did composed this while deaf.

[@tomowenpianochannel]

Yes; it seems to many observers that Beethoven is like Einstein, Newton, Darwin, Shakespeare, Leonardo and Michaelangelo in his universal significance.

[@lokmanmerican6889]

You can say that again!

[@edwardlee2794]

now, for the first time, I get to see what Azerbaijan people is like. beautiful people playing beautiful music. thanks for the effort and keep up with the good work. make your mark in the world. from Hker worldwide

[@roythomas816]

Hard to believe Azerbaijan is 98% Muslim. They are thoroughly modern!. No Burka or Hijab!. Religious and Racial bigotry must be banned from every country....if we are to be a real civilized world.

[@NatashaSmirnov]

I miss those days of peace and unity on the streets, now everything is empty...

[@GaryBeard-mm8lx]

How can you not love this?

[@georgerivera1161]

The conductor should be on movies. He has very expressive face!

[@bartfenech418]

I love this, peace forever - from your bothers and sisters from down under!

[@lucdeslauriers1021]

Grandiose! Merci depuis le Canada.

[@hansrosenthal7266]

These musicians and singers have really understood what "Ode to Joy" means: An die Freude. And they gave me the feeling that Joy (Freude) has a meaning. It is all tenderly and fully relaxt. The musicians, like the conductor, came just by and presented it all in perfect harmony. At the end, they even sing the lyrics by Schiller in German. This is overwhelming. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.) PS: What I like very much is the "violin's kissing" at 1:47 and the smiling of the two violinists... The conductor with his enthusiasm makes me happy. PPS: 7:05 is pure joy.
