Have you noticed that there are no toxic people in the comments? Rare thing nowadays. Classical music only attracts good people.
True, I have never seen a hate comment..... But that is only because this divine music cannot be hated!!!
Recently I find myself tuning into the classical radio station when I'm driving my car because there's no crap, no advertising, when the radio presenter speaks its only about the music and the creation of it.
Well said Pauli Correa. Only good natured people listen to Beethoven’s Symphony No.6 and realise that they can enjoy the beauty of the countryside from their own lounge. I’ve enjoyed ‘The Pastoral ‘ since I was a child and enjoy every movement. Beethoven was a lover of the countryside or else why would he compose something so perfect. What a genius he was.
You've clearly never been in the comment thread of a Wagner video - it's a neo-nazi breeding ground for some reason . . .
Moksha - I love music not for its politics but to enjoy the composers talent of presenting beautiful music to people who appreciate it. I have no problem whatever with the composers background
My wonderful father is 96 and about to die from the effects of deep dementia. He and I have listened to this beautiful symphony many times both together and apart. I am listening today in my Dad's honour and sending him my thoughts and appreciation of all that he taught me through my 73 years. I am one of the most fortunate men on this beautiful planet and echo the appreciation offered here to Beethoven by so many sensitive humans, who enjoy the work of a man who was, I believe, a genius. Vielen dank Ludwig :)
Nigel, my dad would be 85 this year if dementia hadn't already taken him 9 years ago.
"Pastoral" was one of the gifts he gave me early in life, along with Led Zeppelin and Peter Gabriel!
May yours have Peace.
my heart ❤ with u from a millwall boy we ain't all nasty our team we born
Sending you compassionate thoughts for this difficult time. I appreciate your thoughtful comment.
@@StimParavane Thank you for your kindness. It is much appreciated. May I recommend another beautiful piece of music to you? It is a marvelous piano duet by Schubert: ua-cam.com/video/IiIabr2ymgs/v-deo.html I hope you really enjoy it.
God bless you and your father
Ich beginne erst spät im Leben, Beethoven tiefer zu erleben...mit großer Dankbarkeit!
Could you please expound upon those beautiful thoughts?
@@chrisrose1463 no thoughts, dear friend! Just filled with joy and awe and gratitude!
This piece is so full of beauty, calm and musical description. A wonderful interpretation and a smooth calm tempo . A Barenbohem masterpiece in conducting.
Arguably the most beautiful symphony ever written. Certainly in my opinion.

i agree
totally agree
Not arguably…absolute!! Love that you share my affinity for it! Blessings to you.
Es bellísima, pero hay mucha música maravillosa que gracias a Dios nos han legado los grandes maestros.
I'm in my 80's and Beethoven has been my favorite since my youth. What a gift for the soul and to humanity. When I despair for this world, he gives me peace and joy. When I die, I want to share that moment with him, listening to the Pastorale. This orchestra is divine and it's conductor a precious gem.
Así es. Cuando muera quiero que me la pongan a todo volumen de tal manera que no haya lugar para las lágrimas pero si para el regocijo.
Wow that was my thought exactly. I want Pastoral on my death bed too. Great way to go out. Pastoral is rarely played, even in NYC but I got tickets to NY Phil in March for Beethoven Fifth. No one rocks as hard as Beethoven and that coming from an old punk rocker.
@@pavana2810 You better bring some paper tissues with you. I can't listen to the 5th without crying. Enjoy !
Yes a masterpiece of music to enjoy for generations
A great creation. Thank you. Pure pleasure
Beethoven is and will forever be one the greatest composers who has ever existed. I first listened to The Pastorale when I was 9, and was devastated by the sheer beauty ever since. Daniel Bairenbom is superb, just superb. He brings so much peace in this fenomenal performance.
Beethoven's "Pastoral" is the only piece I listen to with the greatest pleasure at any time whatever mood I'm in. It's a blessing for the soul. Thank you Beethoven.
So is his Egmont Overture. It's on a par w/The Pastoral - shorter, 2!! 😉

Agreed!
Born in 1996, I remember being a mere age of 3 years old and always begging my Dad to constantly play this tape he had of this Symphony, whilst on long car journeys. I thought nothing of it at the time, it just put me into a pure state of happiness and clarity, now looking back I realise how well my parents raised me, and how good the music bloody used to be. Absolute proof that Beethoven was a masterclass even to my untrained, youthful, millennial ears. Thank you Dad, and thank you Beethoven.
Absolutely sublime.
You may be in the age group that has never seen the movie 'Soylent Green' from 1973. An odd piece of near science fiction where the crowded world of 2022 has the solution of making cookies out of humans. Crematoriums disguised as churches. It makes more sense today than 47 years ago because the world is at a crossroads. Beethoven's 6th plays a big role in the movie. Check it out. Often, the movie is free on UA-cam, Amazon, and other sites.
tosh I was riding to the mall with my adolescent son while Beethoven's 9th symphony played on the radio. When we got to our destination he wanted to stay in the car to listen to the music until the end. I was so gratified.
Mi afecto y afición por Beethoven,, nació enlazado con la literatura y la poesía.Deleite indescriptible leer los clásicos y escribir y crear poesía escuchando la Pastoral y los conciertos para Violín, chello y clarinete de Beethoven y Mozart. La miel de la inspiración y la memoria se destila en cada acorde, limpia y serena la voz interior desgrana sus acentos. El espíritu de los genios de la música universal deviene del Espíritu creador de la vida. La música es el lenguaje del Verbo eterno, Dios en su fascinante Armonía, en el Allegro de su Amor infinito, en la Sinfonía de su Gloria Eterna.
Did you become a musician? If not why? Such an early understanding and upbringing?
Oh, dear! How much I can respond to your view on your parents. I am so grateful for my parents about my upbringing in nature and with music, I guess the ear doesnt have to be trained, we just move with the music, our whole system is in awe - or so....difficult to express....adios!
I loved Beethoven's 6th symphony ever since my childhood.
I'm lying in my hospital bed listening to it again at 4.30 a.m. sleep deprived from the fellow patients noises, so I drown it with the most exquisite piece of music that could ever be. It is so extraordinary that tears roll. We talk about night and day, black and white, but this music is so far in the continuum of such things as to be the centre of the sun vs the surface of Pluto's moon. And then that's still not enough.
I am moved like you Chris, this music rips my heart out of my chest and sends it to heaven. Hope you have recovered from your illness.
did you make it?

@@chriskitson56I wish for you to be healthy again!
Beethoven was unhappy when doctors told him that his deafness would get more and more worse. He testified about this in his 5th Symphony. In the 6th Symphony, he detached himself from the torment of his soul and saw the beauty of the world and life. Beethoven in my soul forever! - Greetings from Czechia!
Opravdu skvělá hudba
Amen!!!

But did he have an angry young life?
@@szechoi776 I know he always had a bad stomach
problems even when younger ... but I think he was
somewhat happier then, than when he got older as he was still socialising
and playing in wealthy Salons his music 💞
Hurá do Čech, země mého dědečka!
My favorite symphony. Every time I feel down, I listen to Beethoven and the world is a better place.
I don't know why but beethoven's music make me feel depressed. No matter if it's happy or not.

I am listening at a time of conflict between Israel and Palestine in the Gaza Strip. My heart is bleeding for the innocents on both sides. Thank you to Maestro Barenboim and the late Edward Said for trying to reconcile this horrible tragedy through music.😢
There are no innocents on the Israeli side. It is not a normal conflict between 2 countries, it is a conflict between the owners of the land and the tyrannts, oppressors and thieves. How do you think that a thief is innocent even if he doesn't carry weapon?

Thank you so much! You saved this music student minutes of study time.
Maestro Barenboim: Citizen of the World - Should be nominated for, and awarded, the Nobel Peace Prize.
Daniel Barenboim is the last of a line of GENIUS conductors, notice no score in sight, he is 81 now and we have precious little time with his style of conducting which brings life and light to our most favorite composers. Thank God for recordings.
thomasjordan
Daniel Barenboim est un chef d'orchestre brillantissime !
Et cette symphonie pastorale nous transporte dans les airs !
I’ll miss him terribly when he is gone. This is probably my favorite of his appearances on the stand.
I noticed how many times he just stops and lets the musicians carry the tempo.
Yes, and he was married to the fantastic cellist Jacqueline Du Pre that played Elgar at the RAH and who died tragically young at just 46 years of age.
I never weary of listening to No6
Whenever I listen to No6,
I always remember my birthplace , which is beautiful and inspiration and comfortable and memories with my late beloved mother

He was also rejected by all the women he suited :/ I guess that's another reason he dwelved into his music
acash93 ha ha ha! It wouldn’t make any difference to his life as a composer. Women don’t like the idea of being second priority in their husbands’ lives. But if you marry an artist that’s the way it is: you both serve your art
Beethoven: To play a wrong note is irrelveant. To play without passion is unexcusable!
And those who play with passion and without any wrong notes are totally awesome! This is the greatest 6th I've ever heard!
Likewise for ALL THE SYMPHONIES Barenboim conducted in this proms.
I have tried watching video of other symphony orchestras who are supposedly so much more “mature” than these young artists and i keep coming back to the proms Beethoven series. I never get tired of these. TY Yall who were involved in any way.
@@dddinah9456 I have the same feeling-These "conductors" are nothing but ""buzz-seekers"
Your own comments were fabulous, as well!
@@falamimire You got it a bit wrong, but I agree that more of the applause belongs to the musicians. A symphony orchestra needs organization, but the individual efforts is greater then the efforts of the conductor.
Daady your gentle touch moved my world 😢😢😢😢
Beethoven is and always will be the best of all the composers of the planet. This 6th symphony deeply moves our soul, I`m so grateful to be a sensitive human and able to listen and enjoy this beauty! Blessings to all involved! Love and Light to all the nice People visiting here!
That's true so long as you do not count a certain Austrian composer.

The Russian composer Rachmaninov
Wrote music in which he let cannon off.
No, that was Tchaikovsky,
He let them ovsky,
Rachmaninov played the pianonov.
I am a regular at 1812 theatre company, which opens all nights with 1812 overture, then the 'turn off your mobile phones' message, then the curtain goes up.
My first wife was a Ballet dancer, and she would dance to this tune. It became "our song",, and when I hear it, I think of her.
that is such a beautiful memory
Music that just is. Perfection.
No need to add a commentary. Just to live it. To be. In it.
Mankind at its finest. Making something for the purpose of interpreting beauty.
And this is beauty.
Listening to Beethoven's 6th Symphony with a warm cup of vanilla latte on a Sunday morning with a clear and clean sky visible through the window, I am fully enjoying the best comfort that can't be compared to anything else in the world. It couldn't be better. I am very grateful. :)
I am a Japanese old man with experiences of listening to classical music for long.
As to Beethoven's symphonies, several conductors have fascinated me through records, tapes, CDs, and internet so far. (My favorite conductors are Böhm, Bernstein, A. Cluytens, P. Kletzki, R. Leibowitz....) I have long thought I am quite familiar with both Pastoral Symphony and Barenboim, but this one is just different and marvelous. This one sounds gentle and soft far and wide, at the same time keeping vividness all the way, which produces the effect of calming every listener down. The way Barenboim conducts here is totally careful and thorough. I also feel much love of his for the young orchestra.
George Miller is not the most typical Japanese name lol
@@steampunknoodles Of course, it's a nickname. I use a brand account for UA-cam.
@@georgemiller2255 aha I see lol
The tempo of this 6th is spot on perfect hence how it brings tears to my eyes
@@jeffv103I agree with you. My first impression of this performance, gentle and soothing, has much to do with its skillfully-set slow tempo.
This was my dads favourite piece of music, sadly he is not here to listen on what would have been his 86th birthday. Chin chin dad hope you enjoy this x
This was one of my dad's favorite too. He introduced me to it when I was 5 or 6. We played it most Sunday mornings, it's one of my most cherished memories with him.
DItto!
That was my dad's favourite music as well. I remember him listening it with an audio tape in his car. He would turn 88 this year. Hope is listening it where it lies now, dear dad
Sorry friend.
@Mystery Rosebud sorry my friend.
Beethoven's greatest symphony. Many will, and have, disagreed, but I still believe it.
I was a child musical prodigy. The first music I sang, age 2, was the opening melody of a Beethoven symphony. Beethoven will always live in the natural rhythm of my heart. To hear his music is to know heaven.

The main reason I love classical music today is that the comment threads for classical pieces on UA-cam are notably hate-free and celebratory rather than simply trolling strangers. Hurrah for classical music!!
Yes, when I discovered a year ago how much classical music there is on UA-cam, the other (mostly) pleasant surprise was that there are so many other fans out there to commune with via comments. It's reassuring to me that there are so many people all over the world who listen to and love classical music. 🎶 There is the occasional troll, or someone who puts down one performance in lieu of another, but mostly it's pretty positive.
Nah sorry, go to any Wagner piece and there's a bunch of neo nazis.
this is certainly true, but it wouldn't have been so if these composers were alive today. the comments would be boiling with controversy and theories and whatnot! this music has had the benefit of time cooling down most opinions
@@annedwyer797 Very well said, Anne
@@anyideas_ Yes, Tom and it's worrying. Wagner operas are more or less based on "Rhenish Mythology". Mythology of tribes living in what we call now Germany. They were not Christianized before around 800 A.D. Carolus Magnus or Charles the Great did it "manu militaty". However what we kept from these pagan tribes of this area of Europe is the Christmas tree! Pagan tribes living in "Germany" were burning a pine tree at the Winter Soltiste to give back life to the Sun. You might infer that nazism and the far-right are inspired by paganism and not christianism. I experienced that a few decades ago. But that's another story.
WOW, this is one of the most MAGNIFICENT, beautiful compositions ever written! Thanks to this orchestra for playing it so brilliantly.
Symphony music is enjoyed by people who operate in a special dimension and once you get there there's no turning back❤❤❤
BEETHOVEN IS MAGNIFICENT. HE ACHIVES THE IMPOSSIBLE - CALMING THE MIND WHILE EXCITING THE HEART AND THE SOUL. Nothing else matters but the music.
Wow, so true
I simply love everyone's comments on the beauty and majesty of this piece and how it makes you feel. You are all sensitive, intelligent, creative, and true appreciators of the sublime. Thank you all...
I second this comment.
Indeed misses Nadia Loewke !!
Sure Nadia. It definitely lifts our spirits and raises awareness about the approachability of sublimity.
Et tu, Nadia!
I know this is going to seem bizarre, but the first time I heard this music was when it was being whistled by one of my colleagues when were doing our National Service with the RAF in Egypt in 1952. It has become my Beethoven favourite. What strange places in which we find the first musical pleasure of this wonderful composer.
This music brings comfort and joy to my 95 year old mother in long term care when little else does.
Beautiful . I have seen someone (close and at old age) who would just fall asleep while sitting on chair while Beethoven symphony is being played . He would wake with a sudden jerk and smile ( I would say the most beautiful and meaningful smile of a life well lived ) and then again return to his siesta. I think watching him always brought joy . After reading your message , I am fondly recalling those moments and smiling to the pure joy those moments brought then. Thanks
All the best to your beloved mom. From Brazil
Arguably the greatest symphony ever written.
Younger generations have come out of the music war period that went on in the 1960s 70s till now people are again appreciating real genuine classicals!!!
Tired of modern pop and rock? Want a new to you change? Let's go back to the classics!!
makes me cry to see how they LOVE playing it...
I can't stop crying since it started!
the good thing about this is that most of these people love what they are doing. if they hadnt put love while playing music, they wouldn't have reached this level
Right. I love seeing the passion in their movements all together as one. I’m playing cello learning as I go and to watch the body movements with the control is just amazing. It’s like you can’t just stay still as your playing, everything has to be moving to play it correctly. I love this piece and the orchestra playing. Cheers.
This symphony is my favorite of Beethoven's nine symphonies. All his symphonies are extraordinary, but the programmatic nature of the "Pastoral" describes the nature of the countryside perfectly and is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
I’m still at mood of tearing when I listen to this “Pastoral” Beethoven’s when I hear 2nd movement particularly, it was my teens how I couldn’t stop tearing, too beautiful to
Not to cry! Hear I’m over a Six decades more than when I was teens! One of my favorite Beethoven’s Symphony 6 in me.

Je suis exactement de ton avis. Cette Pastorale est ma préférée depuis de très nombreuses années parmi toutes les œuvres de Beethoven. On la rencontre dans "Fantasia" de Walt Disney et dans "Soleil vert" avec l'acteur américain Charlton Heston. C'est la plus merveilleuse des symphonies ! 😊
👍👍
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.
Pilpez agree it's so beautiful and has so much depth that no other composer can compare.This is so in tune with nature and mankind's emotions
It takes the genius of Beethoven to a different level to any other composer.
This genius is beyond description. I know my beautiful wife is listening in heaven as we are enveloped together in peace😢 12:54
"He whom you mourn is now among the greatest men of all time, unassailable forever. (...) we were there when they buried him, and when he died we wept!"
Final words at Beethoven's funeral speech, by Franz Grillparzer
Of all Beethoven's symphonies, this is my favourite.
Consider that by the time Beethoven conceived this magical composition, his hearing had already failed by about 50 percent - such was the power of his mind, and the awesome heights of his talent to be able to overcome this devastating physical challenge.
But anyway he did something even deeper in meaning than this symphony. Incredibly he wrote the 9th Symphony which he himself never had the chance to listen to. He was '100% DEAF by that time. And he was able to listen to the 9th symphony only in his mind. By the opening of the 9th symphony he had a standing ovation on the part of the public at the theater. The magic brain he had simply overdid all the fields of classical music those days, including Rossini!
Barenboim smashes this so hard, it's the best No. 6 on youtube imo.
A "once in a century" masterpiece. Beethoven has made 5 symphonies like that, so don't expect many more anytime soon!
I bet you're talking about 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9 😊😁🙏
@@brandonmartin5650 Exactly.
We don't know what the future holds but for certain Beethoven will be played for as long as human civilisation lasts. He is a high point of human creativity and a genius with no equal.
Indeed!!
Beethoven was indeed a genius for the ages and this was I think his best work. However, I think that Mozart was as great a genius as Beethoven, it's just that his music was different. Beethoven's music was deeper and more serious, Mozart's music was lighter, like the Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, my favorite, and his operas Don Giovanni and Abduction from the Seraglio. Handel I also feel deserves to be mentioned as close to Mozart and Beethoven's genius, but his music was more baroque, like the Watermusic Suite and Music for the Royal Fireworks, and, of course, his Messiah are all incomparable as well.
Bach wasn't a genius??????? Your comment is a little sweeping
I'll not disagree with you. Genius is a word that applies so well!
@@burkewhb Your comments are valid of course but represent the standard view over the past 100 years or more which is entirely centred on the Austro-Germanic tradition of so-called classical music. Today thank goodness we have a wider perspective and realise that there other composers outside that sphere that are the equal of those”Gods”. Hector Berlioz is a case in point, Jan Sibelius another , both as gifted as Beethoven or Mozart in their own fields.
I love Barenboim’s conducting. That’s a so joyful symphony…
Thank you for the beauty
Von allen Sinfonien Beethovens ist die 6. Sinfonie für mich die am meisten zu Herzen gehende. Die Krönung aller Interpretationen dieser Sinfonie lassen mich der geniale Herr Barenboim und das West-Eastern Divan Orchestra erleben. Ich bin jedesmal völlig überwältigt von meinen Gefühlen, immer wenn ich diese Aufführung anhöre.
Tausend Dank auch an Ludwig van Beethoven, den für mich großartigsten Komponisten aller Zeiten.
Beethoven was known to love nature and walking in the countryside. You get the sense that this tormented man felt great joy when he wrote the Pastoral symphony.
Yeees, around Bonn and the Rhine valley, in Siebengebirge, Vorgebirge and so on, as you can see here:

Absolument d'accord avec vous !
I'm 70, and I still mimic the clarinet fingerings of this beautiful piece . I'm so grateful.
Playing this helps my anxiety & depression
I hope you will be healthy soon
This symphony was my first experience with Beethoven. The fourth movement sealed the deal.
Since you've dipped your toe into the Sea of Beethoven, I hope you'll jump in and discover more of his music! I suggest his other Symphonies, his Violin Concerto (he only wrote one!) and his five Piano Concertos. I hope you become addicted to him...
The first movement is absolutely beautiful!
Adriannaoki First movement perhaps the most beautiful music ever written.Would have preferred it to have been the last movement.
One of the best masterpieces of the german master, well performed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
This has become my favorite of .Beethoven's 9 symphonies! I could listen to it every day.
The pastorale is a culmination of spirit, octane feeling, tenderness and atruism toward all things living. Wonder how many tears Beethoven shed when composing this truly emotional piece. Beethoven is forever.
This is Beethoven's greatest symphony , so perfect and complete and full of emotion.
you are correct

I heartily agree, it stirs in me so many emotions.
Exactly the same. What a combination of power and beauty.
It's the first time I've ever heard it, and I'm listening because it's part of the curriculum for my Kindergartener to listen to the first 5 minutes of it, and it made me cry! It sounds like what I imagine I'll hear if I go to Heaven.
In my opinion this is the most beautiful of all the synphonies.
In 1950, I was in the 7th grade, Hong Kong. The lady music teacher had us listened to this symphony in the assembly. From then on, I began to love classical music. Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Bach, Mozart ..... George Wu, ARCHITECT, A.I.A., 2018-12-14

Beethoven, you make me laugh and you make me weep with just emotions. In the interim my senses go afloat in a never ending journey thru bliss and introspection. What would the world be without the likes of you. Beethoven forever !
My biggest regret in life is that I never met a partner who could sit and listen to this with me, enthralled with tears in his eyes.
Hey, I'm down if you're still looking for someone
Dear Hanle, I am another partner of yours just totally overwhelmed again of the whole scene and sound, having in my heart and imagination the coming AGE OF PEACE ON EARTH under the rule and reign of no one else than my LORD and GOD and SAVIOUR JESUS, the CHRIST OF GOD ALLMIGHTY!!! HIS KINGDOM is going to last 1000 years and this rotten and totally ruined creation of HIS is going to blossom and cherish to the TOTAL SATISFACTION OF GOD the FATHER of JESUS, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON from ETERNITY on!
And there will be peace governing worldwide, because satan, the old enemy and hero of all evil and suffering of mankind in untold variation, will be kept in chaines in God's dungeon, where he will suffer in unimaginable pain for all his evil on earth from very early times (roughly 6000 years) on!
May therefore everyone reading these poor lines take this in consideration and, if not yet accomplished, come to my LORD JESUS in tears of repentance and confession of sins with the objection of full redemption from JESUS, THE SON OF MAN ! May HE bless this weak witness of faith in HIM for 35 years now!
lol plenty out there
Sincerely hope you find someone. Best wishes.
Hanle de Beer I’m single. Are you still looking for someone? I love classical music. 😘❤️
I'm not a musician but I love classical music, every time I listen to this wonderful symphony I discover something new!
Me too.
Yeah like the woodwind solo at 21:27 which is one of my favorite parts
@@Thomasdcat1940 yes, and the music playing in the background in what in layman terms i would describe a “second layer” of sound from 3:11 which then merges with, and overtakes the music in the foreground. Same at 4:05. Highly likely i haven’t used right terms to express the technicalities of what I’m trying to say but this is how it sounds to me. And there are many other hidden gems i have “discovered “ in this particular rendition, the sound quality and the balance of the instruments is particularly good in this rendition in my opinion. Again, this comes from a man that takes some time off to enjoy beauty from time to time and claims no technical knowledge of composition or music whatsoever.
We played exactly this performance of Beethoven’s symphony at the memorial service for my husband, David Michaels. He passed away in May of this year. The service was held in the backyard of our house, surrounded by nature. I can ‘t imagine a more beautiful setting and more breathtaking music for him at that moment in time and space.
Likewise, incredible beauty!
I'm so sorry about your husband's loss!
That sounds awesome!

Music that never dates, it is as fresh and new as when it was first written . A performance such as this is an absolute joy to the ears.
That was beautifully stated Brian!
I am in awe with all Beethoven's symphonies but this is up there with the very best ❤
Beethoven’s music is impeccable and inspirational and an order of magnitude awsome
what a marvelous piece, i listen over and over and i cant stop. Beethoven was a real genius
Yes, he was
Beethoven elevated genius to a new level.
Yes that's true Hello 👋 how are you feeling this beautiful Sunday 🌄
When I listen to this music, a heart is healed.
Y'know how a school of fish all turn at the same time? That's what musicians in a symphony orchestra do. lncredible. No end zone dances. So beautiful.
Timeless composition...pure bliss...sheer pleasure...
Beethoven loved nature and the countryside. He spent a lot of his time on walks in the country. His 6th Symphony consists of five movements - finaly the weather clears up and comes the shepherd's song. Cheerful feelings after the storm. That is why it was called Pastoral. I first heard it fifty years ago and recorded it on my tape recorder. - Beethoven was still not just gloomy. Towards the end of his life, he composed music "Ode to Joy" based on Schiller's poem. Friedrich Schiller was the Poet of words - Ludwig van Beethoven was the Poet of tones. Both are greats of art. Huge respect! 💖 💞 (CZ my country)
OH MY GOD! They got it right! I have heard so many performances where they rush through the 6th and it strains my ears. This is Beautiful.

Baremboim's interpretation of this symphony will surely be approved by Beethoven! :))
He is conducting by heart! Basically he is a pianist.
Very true!!
Great Simphony and always welcome to soften reality and reminds me the great joy of being ALIVE.
I discovered this Symphony when I was 16 years old and 50 years on I love it even more, it's more than just music to me, it's part of my life. This is a stunning performance so thank you to Daniel Barenboim, The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and to the Maestro, Ludwig van Beethoven
I'm listening to this during the coronavirus pandemic and it has completely overwhelmed me with hope to the point of tears. Seriously, this has moved me in an incredibly powerful way like nothing else has been able to do. Everything is going to be alright! Such a beautiful rendition of this masterpiece! It seems a tad bit slower than most versions I've heard, but I like it better this way!
Steve Pederson - I am listening to it I the midst of the corona virus as well. I have no words. Someone, Beethoven, a human, put these notes on paper and they are immortal. And we have them now to help us to survive these perilous times. God help us all.
I share your enthusiasm! This symphony is beautiful beyond words, it is heavenly. It is perfect and it moves me to tears too. This pure celebration of the power and beauty of nature makes me feel at home. It's a wonderful meditative guide. It is a peaceful oasis that makes me forget the crazy world we're living in for a while. It's a comfort blanket in case of emergencies. It gives me strength, courage and hope. I LOVE this piece!
Isn’t it cool how Beethoven turned all of his suffering into something beautiful for all to enjoy. I think we can all have the same influence everyday with the people around us in our lives. Go compose your life’s symphony everyday.
Me too!!!
I'm right there with you. I've played it at least once a day. This piece has soothed my anxiety in the last three weeks, like none other and I like the pace as well.
I love many composers but for me Beethoven is number 1.
Yes, he is
what about obama

I am struck by how young the members of the orchestra actually are. Wonderful to see.....and hear.
.
This is the West Eastern Divan Orchestra, set up by Daniel Barenboim (conducting). The musicians are indeed young. They come from many Middle Eastern countries.
"The Divan is not a love story, and it is not a peace story. It has very flatteringly been described as a project for peace. It isn't. It's not going to bring peace, whether you play well or not so well. The Divan was conceived as a project against ignorance. A project against the fact that it is absolutely essential for people to get to know the other, to understand what the other thinks and feels, without necessarily agreeing with it. I'm not trying to convert the Arab members of the Divan to the Israeli point of view, and [I'm] not trying to convince the Israelis to the Arab point of view. But I want to - and unfortunately I am alone in this now that Edward died a few years ago - ...create a platform where the two sides can disagree and not resort to knives."[9]Daniel Barenboim.
One of the young musicians of the orchestra reinforced this point:
"Barenboim is always saying his project is not political. But one of the really great things is that this is a political statement by both sides. It is more important not for people like myself, but for people to see that it is possible to sit down with Arab people and play. The orchestra is a human laboratory that can express to the whole world how to cope with the other."[10]
@@ellyvanveen1856 a fine orchestra indeed!

Beautiful music cannot exist without him.
you never know when it's going to end he is just a genius
Mara Iapoce indeed he was
That is it! Period. Thank God for having put Beethoven on Earth for us. Imagine living in an era when Beethoven's music is available to so many. Had we lived a hundred years ago this would not have been possible.
Beethoven's best work. an excellent performance. My favourite movement is the 2nd!
The final movement when those notes at the very end just soar and soar then descend - gets me every time. Thank you LVB.
Imagine composing this when you are deaf. SHEER GENIUS that is all.
*falls in love with Beethoven's music*
I love this symphony above all others
Yeah me too
The 4th and the 7th are magnficents also.
For me this is a moment of emotional peace and satisfaction. I’m truly at peace.
I checked my blood pressure. It's all time low. Thank you.
