[@YbYBwRbY]

I had been in Paris only a fortnight before: a colleague at the Collège de France had organized a week-long conference in honor of the anniversary of a book I had written. It was glorious fall weather, and I stayed on the Left Bank, a short walk from the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop. Two weeks after my return, Islamist terrorists carried out massacres in the City of Light. France survived, thank God. But I did not. American academia was already in the grip of ideological witch hunts and my university had begun an inquisition against me, pressuring my students to write denunciations, demanding they report in secret on things I said in my lectures. I chose to retire, with right on my side, rather than fight alone against a giant, rich institution of fascism as bad in its way as ISIS or Al Qaeda. La Marseillaise for nearly two and a half centuries has been the clarion call to justice for the oppressed of the world. I've no hope for my own life. But I do hope the downfall and destruction of this system will come, and Americans may live in genuine liberty, equality, and fraternity.

[@aristostovboulimienne2743]

This anthem (officially since 1879) is first a song of war written for the french revolutionary armies fighting on eastern border(1792).It was the begining of the last great military epic since the roman legions .The new french flag floated over almost all main towns of Europe from Lisbon to Moscow,until 1815.German army also conquered Europe but not in the name of Liberty,human rights and the nazi flag doesn't exist anymore.If we think about the 1.4 million french who died between 1792 and 1815, we have to respect this anthem.

Honestly, this is one the best renditions I've ever heard of our national anthem. Perfect balance between symphonic orchestration (with strings) and a military fanfare sound. Just perfect.

[@unclejoeoakland]

Did the tempo seem a little slow? or does everyone play it just a tad fast? Hard for me to tell since I'm perhaps over-aware of so many pieces of music being played too fast, an easy fault for any orchestra trying to convey strength in a piece.

C'est aussi, pour moi, ce qui adoucit mon cœur parce que c'est l'Orchestre Philarmonique de Philadelphie qui l'interprète, debout, mais également parce que le public, probablement à très forte majorité américain, se lève (probablement avec la main sur le coeur). Je suis très touché et très ému de voir et écouter mon hymne dans ce contexte et en ces temps troublés. J'en ai les poils tous dressés, comme à l'affût....
