Just imagine sitting at the front seat on the 7th of May, 1824, witnessing this miracle unravel while at the same time watching the choir sit for 50 minutes straight without moving. You are telling to yourself: "Why on earth are they not doing anything ?" ... and then suddenly " FREUDE!!!!!!" It is said that the audience at the end was ecstatic. They knew Beethoven couldn't hear them applause, so they were throwing their hats and scarfs up in the air. This music is an unbelievable gift to humanity.

On May 7, 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven premiered his 9th and last symphony called Chorale, in Vienna. Here we are, today May 7, 2024, some 200 years later, God Bless Ludwig, and what would be the most powerful, spiritual and brutal musical work taught to the world. But if that were not enough, every time in my life that I lose my reason, my conscience, the motivation to even live, I can never help but hear the Ode to Joy reverberating. And although I don't express it, I always break into tears of happiness remembering every word and every letter that the choir makes great.

The nearest he has is a piano or other instrument he can play certain measures on to test them out a bit. He knows what notes to write and what they will sound like because he KNOWS what they will sound like, he knows the theory of music and harmony. He only actually hears it AFTER it is written and he assembles a group to finally play it, which allows him to fine tune it. So actual hearing is only of secondary importance to a composer.

I completely connect to what you're saying and had the same experience. Every time you start listening to the ninth you can't stop again because every moment is just intense right from the beginning until the very end. I also keep forgetting that the choir and the orchestra interact so beautifully.. it's not just the hymn of joy but there is so much communication going on between the different groups, references to or advancements from the earlier movements. First the orchestra plays a highly developed section, then the soloists, then the choir joins everybody etc. so that every voice can shine in all its glory. The emotional climax for me is the entrance of the high choir and orchestra after all of the men were previously singing alone. It truly shakes you to the core!!

For anyone who loves the buildup to the famous section at 1:06:51, if you've never heard this piece done in a slower Tempo then do yourself a favor and check out the legendary Otto Klemperer's work in which he conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1970 ("Symphony No. 9 in D minor, op 125 - Klemperer"). Klemperer's slower Tempo, combined with Beethoven's out-of-this-world composition, is simply magical.

When the orchestra started playing the first few measures, I knew I had to stop whatever I'm doing. I have listened and watched many interpretations of Ode an die Freude but this one is absolute perfection! I could hear a balance in all the instruments because the tempo is perfect. It's not dragging nor rushing. The melodic line is very well respected. The canon parts are building up very well. There is so much prescision in crescendos and diminuendos. Despite a change in dynamics, the continuity of the musical line is preserved. The ritardandos are carefully played. Nobody gets left behind. I can hear all the parts of the lead quartet. No one dares to sticks out. And I really love the clarity of clash note at 57:58 of the tutti chorus. It's a joy to see them all play. I can watch/listen to this over and over again. Klaus Mäkelä and the Oslo Philharmonic have done quite a job perfecting this. The conductor's smile at 1:06:50 concludes it. Brava!

Starting at 13:22, I see a Cellist playing with intensity. She turned up in another Klaus Mäkelä /Oslo Philharmonic performance. If you start to track her, she bobs and moves with the playing like she is drowning in it. I have come to keeping an eye on her. She really gets into it, and then cracks a rare smile when she can get away with it.

As a conductor and as musician, Klaus , at 22, is way better, in all aspects, than any of the great conductors of the past in their young years and amazes with his assurance, musicality and maturity. He is also a very intelligent and well balanced young man. It is also incredible how much he has done and with apparent ease, in just a few years. He has great potential and the Oslo people were very smart to get him. My bet is that 15 years from now, he will take over from Petrenko in Berlin.

About 30 years ago I bought the first CD of this work. It was on sale in a record store in downtown Santiago, Chile; I had to save a few weeks to be able to buy it. When I finally had it, I went home on the bus; I could not contain my excitement and arrived almost trembling, anxious to listen to this work. I still listen to this work by Beethoven alone, because of the feeling of small greatness it gives me and the tears it brings to my eyes. A fragment of this work travels to the stars on a gold disc in the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Perhaps one remote day, a higher intelligence will perceive in these notes the effort of a species that, despite its limitations, aspired to greatness and hope. A work for eternity.
