This is the peak of human civilization in musical arts.

Karajan was such a great conductor of music. This must surely be the greatest piece of Beethoven's publicly available.

Damn... that quality and camera work so futuristic at that time plus Karajan being a master on screen. No one can tell that this was made in 1968, this film is unnoticeable old.

[emilyjones]

Even Karajan couldn't resist opening his eyes and mouthing the lyrics to ode to joy in the 4th movement. Such a beautiful and magnificent piece. Truly Beethoven's magnum opus.

1- Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso: 0:00
2- Molto vivace: 15:06
3- Adagio molto e cantabile: 24:18
4- Finale: 40:35

[leolimateclas]

Karajan and everyone who participated in this masterpiece (including the audio and video technicians): You are probably responsible for the human legacy in existence. At the end of time, if this work survives, our existence in infinite time would already have been useful and beautiful. BRAVO!

Today, 7th of May, 200 years since this masterpiece was inaugurated, thanks Beethoven!

Beethoven and Schiller: a match made in heaven. ❤

[GIANCARLOCARPINO]

L'esecuzione della Nona Sinfonia di Beethoven diretta da Herbert Von Karajan è semplicemente straordinaria. Conduce l'orchestra con una maestria che tocca il cuore e l'anima di chiunque ascolti.
E' un capolavoro assoluto, un'interpretazione che brilla di luce propria!

[PinacoladaMatthew]

People don't talk about this enough, the ending is actually the best part, a fast Coda, ending with just 5 short notes, end of story, no dragging, it's Beethoven's equivalent of a mic-drop, as if saying :"I've said all there is to say, this is it."

[silverkev]

Oh my Gott. This is the most magnificent version I have heard in my 67 years.

[crownandguillotine]

Someone asked what is the greatest metal album of all time. I said this is. It is all here.

When 9th premièred Beethoven was completely deaf and at the beginning of the set he was encouraged to conduct the orchestra, at first he hesitated but then he got persuated to do so. The audience was in awe and touched by the splendor of the music and the fact the creator couldn't listen to his own work been executed in front of people for the very first time. At the end a soloist from the orchestra Caroline Auger (if im spelling it right) reached Beethoven's hand turned him face the crowd applauded him in standing ovation.

[richardlobb]

A brilliant film capturing an extraordinary performance. They don't make movies like this anymore.

[josecabre]

Karajan’s version is the gold standard interpretation ever for the ninth symphony

[JacksonGuardini]

A Masterpiece conducted by a Master and played by a Magnificent Orchestra! 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤
