The finale to the greatest musical work of all time.

Yes Yes!!!

It's pretty good, but let's not get carried away.

Whether you like this or not, it's a fact that this is an astonishing piece of music. If you don't think it is, you're wrong. That's it.

[@keithwilson6782]

Whoever you are I agree TOTALLY!!!!!

Thanks for your comments! I'm glad you enjoyed this extract. You can listen to NYO play the whole symphony on youtube too now.
I'm sure lots of people love to bask in the glory of the final chords of the 5th and 10th movement however I do like Petrenko's take on it!

[@paruslop]

Great performance! However, last chord was too short :( (and so does the final of 5th)
Messiaen himself wrote over the last chord "très long" (very long)... this "Final" represents the absolute triumph of love and passion and the final chord is ... a whole burst of energy.. really beautiful *-*
Love the whole Ondes Martenot part =3 Thanks for posting, really brilliant performance!

Has there even been a more satisfying F# major chord in musical history?

You can find videos from the whole concert on my profile.
Enjoy!

[@crazyorganist1609]

The chord needs to be very long at the end

[@paruslop]

By the way, if possible, could you post the rest of the symphony? I would love to listen to 4th, 6th and 8th =) thanks!

Is that Jessie Pinkman conducting?
