Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' - With english subtitles HD sound

Best played LOUD.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 - IV - Allegro assai

Choral with English subtitles translating Schiller's "Ode to Joy" used by Beethoven. Schiller considered the poem a failure.

Solti. HD sound. Listen for the "Ja!" at 2:19 ;)

No matter how many times I listen to this it never gets old.

So Beethoven composed this while being stone deaf. Respect does not even come close to how I feel towards the Man.

[jrnfw]

OH! LUDWIG! LUDWG! MY, OH, MY! We sing this in church, under the title, ALLEUJAH! This is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU, LUDWIG, FOR THIS!

[robertprobst]

It is always best when a German native speaker sings it 🙂

[AlexanderSajin]

Only Version i can find that isn't totally quiet, thanks for posting.

[LordCutlerBeckett]

Beethoven is one of the most famous German composers I've ever

[desantiago]

3 things must happen to this song to be trigger:

1- someone is happy
2- something amazing happen







3- A single mech is about to trigger the apocalisis for the 4th time again

[wawaelias]

You know how hard it is to sound like that! Broo I never had a song that made me want to cry! Well con te partio that song was a beautiful song as well!

[RunsOnPhotons]

i tried to maximize the volume without clipping excessively and juiced the dynamics of some parts

[ariellalocalwaves]

immediately the phrase taken back- came to heart

blown away in awe

i took the bait hard regarding song concept

[Valorme]

We had a life skills group come in where I work and there was this little autistic boy who was stimming a lot. And what he really liked was vibrations, and so they gave him a little toy piano and he would hold it next to him and ode to joy would play

Because I know why this song was written and I know where it's behind it that possibly was one of the most poetic things i've ever seen

That made me smile

[lamodedepinktag]

Yes, this "Ja" makes a distinct impression.

[blueshorecreative]

This song gives me Joy! Hello to all my freiden (???)

[bockmaker]

So this is the "anthem" for the European Union. 
But the Wolfe Tones' 1972 rendition of "A Nation Once Again" was voted the world's most popular song.

One of these things ain't like the other 
One of these things is doing its own thing

[DianaWilson-tv]

The picture in the video, is supposed to be for 5th Symphony.

[johnsullivan]

How could a country that created such beautiful music and words commit such horrid crimes against humanity before and during WW2?

[donkeyekyo]

schiller considered the poem failure
ironic ^^

[tajhariabloom]

this is just the beginning, the song is 20+ min long. Anyone know a link to this recording with English subtitles that includes the major theme?

imagining some planes flying over the skies fighting for control is something wonderful my mind has come uo
