True story - this piece (the 7th symphony) was performed at the university in Vienna on 8 December 1813. Typically, as you can expect, the audience waits to the end to clap and cheer. After this section of Beethoven's 7th, the crowd immediately demanded an encore of the second movement immediately. They did not want to hear the third movement until the musicians performed the 2nd movement again, before continuing to the third movement. THAT is how good this piece of work is - nothing short of remarkable.

It is true that is a Beethoven's funeral march for his symphony and that he had to cut the legs of his piano to hear the vibrations of the sound through the floor to finish it?

[@carlrosa1130]

@@raymundovergararoman2473 I have HEARD that several times but can't find actual writings that confirm it.

Una maravilla. Patrimonio de la Humanidad

[@cacampbell3654]

A wise and brilliant audience! Worthy of one of the most beautiful and amazing pieces of European classical music ever written in my humble opinion! And so wonderful also to be able to watch this great orchestra and conductor performing it! I gush and gush. Forgive me.

[@pj4ever10]

While watching this performance last night, I was thinking that if an advanced alien species were to visit Earth, I would want them to be shown this as a representation of what human beings can do artistically.

[@jimmerzz47]

I can't express what this does to me emotionally. One of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Thank you Beethoven.

[@nateeden258]

This piece literally moves me to tears emotionally. The initial crescendo 2:00 onward into the decrescendo in 3:07 I could sob. There is something in this piece that is alive and breathing and feeling.

Greatest rendition since Karajan - to me... perfect tempo, flawless expression. Awesome 👌

[@pixel_game_composer]

Музыка - единственный язык на планете, который не нужно учить, чтобы понимать говорящего на нём! Спасибо! Виртуозное исполнение!

[@miavidakovics2188]

I listened to it the whole time and it was a balm for my soul. At the end no one clapped right away... it was so beautiful and the video ended with this silence without clapping. An ad immediately popped up. Killed me. MURDER

[@ayhanakman7708]

Wow, Gustavo's got it! After listening to many versions of this; his interpretation ranks right up there with Kleiber, Kubelik and Ozawa. In my humble opinion, it is better, by far, than the interpretations of such powerhouse conductors as Rattle, Gregiev, Karajan and Bernstein. The effortless ease with which he combines the delicate and forceful passages is truly mesmerizing. And all this while his is not "acting out" the role of a "maestro". Bravo Gustavo, well done you and the Venezuellan Youth Orchestra! Truly a pleasure to watch!

[@LudlowKid]

I know it’s somewhat subjective but it seems that the tempo is good. So many other interpretations are too fast or rushed. This is neither to fast or too slow.

This is pure heaven to me 🕊✨✨

[@lamghariaissam-mg9ct]

This music mismerises me , pinnacle of art and extremely emotional

[@empoderamientomujer7603]

Me es difícil escuchar esta pieza menos de una vez las veces que decido escucharla. Me gusta muchísimo. Tenía grandes expectativas frente a la dirección de esta pieza y fueron cumplidas completamente. Felicitaciones al maestro Dudamel y a toda su orquesta👏👏👏 (Les aplaudo de pie). Amé los tiempos que se manejaron, de entre todas las versiones que he escuchado esta me ha parecido de las más perfectas, la más fiel a la composición original y de las más perfeccionistas en los detalles. Síganse llevando la admiración, la merecen toda.

[@fulgenjbatista4640]

❤ La música más sublime Gracias ❤

[@Editorvid]

Es la pieza más epica, grandiosa y emocional del genio de Bonn (junto a la 9na). Cada vez que la escucho conecta con mis emociones. Mis oídos se rinden ante semejante belleza auditiva. Como si fuera escrita en el Paraíso👏

É de ouvir de joelhos! Maestro Dudamel e orquestra inspiradíssimos. Que alegria constatar que nós, do terceiro mundo, produzimos arte de grande qualidade! Parabéns pela lembrança do vídeo e a todos os envolvidos!

[@eosborne6495]

As I learn more and more about modern composers and delve more deeply into less popular pieces, I don’t revisit Beethoven as often as I should. But there may never be another composer who can wring such incredible breadth of emotional experience out of such an economy of melodic content. It almost seems imposible that a 5 note theme with a “shave and a haircut” rhythm could still bring me to tears decades after hearing it for the first time, but that is Beethoven’s genius.

[@gegedichy]

Gracias maestro Dudamel. Gracias

[@thaobenn6339]

Thank you so much for such a magnificent performance. It was beautifully emotional. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@StitchesWilde]

Is it a bad thing that I mainly associate this piece with 2 things? The first being the beginning of a radio play called "Beethoven Lives Upstairs." The second being final scene from "The King's Speech," my favorite movie of all time. In "Beethoven Lives Upstairs," it played during Beethoven's funeral. In "The King's Speech," it played during the final scene with the King's first wartime speech

[@georgehahn2979]

2nd movement LVB 7th is a funeral dirge. A DIRGE, Dudamel just does not get that. He jazzes it up and destroyed the movement. IT's a DIRGE.

[@CYEMGOC.A]

Sorry mr. George, I am not an expert, even not a musician but, urged by your words, I looked for and just listened to a Leonard Bernstein & Wiener Philharmoniker version and let me tell you I find Dudamel's version with more "feeling" and Deep expresión. Bernstein's version seems to be more "vivace". It is just my very humble appreciation.

[@damnedseagull6194]

BS!
