Petrenko is such an energetic conductor! BRAVO

[Altonahh]

The best orchestra with the best choir. That's my Berlin, the way I love it.

[TheMaestro]

This fuguel section is one of my favorite fugues of Beethoven, it’s so intense and filled with drama.

[valkry]

never fails to make my spirit soar when I hear the ninth.

[jazzporridge]

Getting that first 'Millioneonen" from the basses pleased Maestro Petrenko beyond measure. Incredible band.
Well played everyone.

[britdude]

Such beautiful harmony and synchrony, it’s almost impossible to not get goosebumps. Definitely captures the beauty of the chorus:

Joy, o wondrous spark divine,
Daughter of elysium,
Drunk with fire now we enter,
Heavenly one, your holy shrine.
Your magic powers join again
What fashion strictly did divide;
Brotherhood unites all men
Where your gentle wing's spread wide.

Eccezionali da Petrenko, all'Orchestra, al Coro : un estasi musicale. Grazie

[linuszimmermann]

Toll! Mit so viel Leidenschaft...Eine "Tour de Force" des Appassionata! Kann meine Begeisterung gar nicht in Worte fassen!

[annatae-]

can i just say that i got goosebumps watching emmanuel pahud sitting at the SAME EXACT SPOT playing the SAME EXACT PHRASE where the camera would pan to him 8 years ago in Abbado’s rendition of Symphony 9?? exactly at 0:43. - damn, splendid playing as always though, both Pahud and the orchestra and especially Pretenko.

[joanmarshall]

Written by the best, played by the best, conducted greatly!

[binary]

0:06 Furtwängler himself on the double bass

[panzwes]

I like the camera panning out to show the choir when they start singing.

Nice to see this in a formal, concert hall setting. I prefer the open-air concert that the Philharmoniker put on the next day - a bit more relaxed.

[willamoctober]

Every time I listen 9. Symphony I cry like kid in front of this Beauty

[angelinamaria]

[Horollolloro.]

This is most beautiful song in this world!!

[Cartographer-ti]

Another Joy that I heard! One of my favorite composition of Beethoven..Ode to Joy!🙂

[akshaygowrishankar]

Already starting his tenure with some of the most technically demanding, iconic pieces of all time with the most demanding and most famous orchestra. #LifeGoals

[summushieremiasclarkson]

50FPS, makes such a massive difference. Huge improvement over 30 FPS.

[marcomarkbertdoctormarkber]

Grande Petrenko. Un abbraccio da Marco Mark Bert "direttore d'orchestra galvanizzatore" per passione della musica classica, trasmessa in gioventù dalle lezioni di Moscatelli.

[gustavmahler]

Si annuncia un'era nuova per i grandi Berliner. Scelta sorprendente, Petrenko, ma perfetta. Una nona di Beethoven memorabile, ascoltata anche dal vivo a Santa Cecilia.
