birds begin to stir at the mornings first frosty breath of foggy dawn... soft sun to a now warming day... shaking off the sleep, I can't hear the birds but I know they're there... they stir me with their activity...I feel the stir of the wind from their wings...

I really like the tempi in this performance. This piece has a large sense of urgency, and too many conductors take a leisurely pace.

At university (91-94) I heard different accounts concerning his loss of hearing. You provided great information! Thank You P

Great lecture with your sharp, lucid and energetic voice. A great way to understand and admire the Ninth of Beethoven. You have demonstrated its quintessence in the best of terms. Hearing from a maestro like you Mr. Giancarlo is an experience. :) Thanks.

You are amazing. You are great. Thank you for the wonderful lectures.

We have traveled far to see this concert this evening. The world needs this piece of music in these times . Thank you Maestro .

Great lectures, very enjoyable, learned a lot. I hope the Maestro will repeat the format for other pieces. How about Beethoven overtures next??? Don't forget ode to Joy is also the Anthem of Europe 😉. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. Next time I am in Nashville I am definitely getting tickets for the Nashville Symphony orchestra!!

I enjoyed these analysis a lot. lots of new information too. Thank you very much ❤️🙏

Thank you! This was wonderful!

Humanity's Symphony. Obrigado, Luigi.

Thank you!!!!

Nothing tops the 3rd, no exception!

The first few bars of Ode to Joy are note for note the same as a passage from Mozart's k222.

It's really sad to know that your greatest work also the greatest of all time cannot be heard by yourself. It's really sad. The only knowledge of your composition is only through your imagination.

Thank you. What recording is this?

Wonderful- but I’ve been reading that newly discovered conversation books suggest Beethoven could hear sometime, and his ingenious wood conduction could allow him to hear the piano through the bones of his jaw, like when one covers his ears and hears his own voice- just sayin …
