I have heard at least 20 versions of this, but this one is the most magnificent. I have never heard anyone interpret the tenor role the way Jonas Kaufmann does, and it's a revelation. I felt as though I have never really heard the tenor solo before! Wonderful!
its the best
Try Japanesse 10.000 persons one
I agree with you. Very impresive.
Amen❤
Hallo Aus Siebenbürgen ! Wunderbar, ganz einfach ! Pape und Jonas Kaufman zeigen uns die Superlative ! Bravos !!!
Having heard this magnificent piece well over a hundred of times, at 76 years, this performance brings tears of joy to me. My god, why can humanity not listen?
Richard Hallberg to busy killing each other over tribal god images.
I just had the same though in my mind: WHY can humans not listen?
B8
2 Timoteo 3:1-5
what are we human beings thinking, we don't care about life, love of our fellow man. We seem only to want to wow and then stomp on each other. Divide and conquer, are we just wild animals? Things and money , we seem to worship power and money! There have always been those who created beauty and peace and there were also those who worship a false God that wanted attention through nothing but violence . How did it get so out of control? I am 80 years old and hope to see my great great grandchildren pick apples from my tree,,,G0D help the leaders of the world seek peace and cooperation so that we will continue to live and love one another, thank you,
In the world you think that German is a hard and hoarse language, almost frightening.
Instead this song suggests it is a very beautiful, expressive and amazing language.
Italy and Germany have done so much for opera.
Love from Italy to our German Brothers.
Ciao:)
Viva l'Europa. Viva l'Europe.
After you have enjoyed 5 or 8 beers German is a very amazing language! ;-)
Es lebe Europa. Viva l'Europa.
German is *not* at all a hard or hoarse language. It is incredibly melodic, amazingly flexible, and altogether gorgeous. I'm French and I'm fluent in 5 languages. By far, by very very far, German is to me the most beautiful of them all. And besides, Germans are usually quite soft spoken (unlike drunk, but who cares).
Germans soft spoken - depends on the region where you are in Germany. By the way bavarian is most popular dialect in Germany and is soft spoken. When you go up North it is more hard spoken.
I lived mostly in Freiburg and in Regensburg.
@ Rachegotter
Hope you could enjoy the times you lived in Regensburg and Freiburg.
so beautiful Jonas Kaufmann and Rene Pape
sehr schönes lied von machtvoll beethoven. es ist nicht unerwartet dass dieses lied geht um Freude um. beste gefühl in der ganze welt!
Es una composición increíble que escuchándola no tiene nombre y parece que me transporta al cielo. BEETHOVEN EL GENIO
Hab's heut erst gefunden.....ooooh wie schön...ich bin hin und weg!!! danke dafür 💝
😊🎉🤗🙏🏻🤩🥰💛💚🕯️🥳🥲🔥😁😳oh, große Göttin, ich auch! Es scheint, dass alles in mir schwingt, wenn Kaufmann&Chor singt. Der holde Wahnsinn...ich liiiiiiiiiiieb es! Hat meine Tochter bereits vor 14Jahren in meinem Bauch hören dürfen! Ihr Papa sang damals auch, nur im Kirchenchor.😊😊 Heute spielt meine Große Keyboard&Linkshändergitarre, als hätte sie nie was anderes gemacht😊- & sie hat alles immer von sich aus gemacht (ich selbst kannte Leistungs&Leidensdruck durch Leistungssport&Landessportschule) & hat sich beim Schauspiel angemeldet! Ich freue mich unendlich für mein Kind, dass sie mutig ihre eigenen Wege findet & geht!!!💪🏻
I had the honor to sing this masterpiece directed by Barenboim (in the choir, of course!) in Buenos Aires, it changed my life forever!
I was told that the real hero’s sing in the CHOIR by a great Opera Singer
Sorts the boys from the men so to speak before Bullshit political correctness of course
A woman’s point of view at the time lol
So never demote yourself 😊
@@johnblasiak607 Have you ever heard of punctuation, Sir??? What in the world are you trying to say???
Lucky you!!!
Fun! I sang Brahms Requiem with him with the Wiener Singverein, it was very special! Cherish that memory!
Pape !! One of the best !!
Greetings from the United States, The voice of Beethoven send us to God!
I have never heard the bass part sung better than here by Pape. Stunning and a revelation in this war horse.
+Michael Doyle René Pape is a German opera singer, who had his debut with the Berlin State Opera (Unter den Linden) in 1988, and with the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1995. Because he and the other soloists are German, their pronunciation of the lyrics is perfect, and it sounds as Beethoven intended. Two of these opera soloists---Pape and Meier---also appeared (again with Daniel Barenboim) in the PROMS 2012 performance of the ninth symphony in London---part of Barenboim's Beethoven cycle. In that performance, Jonas Kaufmann and Anne Schwanewilms are replaced by Michael König and Anna Samuil, respectively. If you loved Pape's performance here, I think you will also love Michael König's performance there. (The four soloists were dressed in red, gold and black, putting the colors of the German flag smack-dab in the center of Royal Albert Hall. Still, some people probably didn't catch on.)
It isn't perfect diction, which isn't surprising. It's pretty commonplace for singers to be lax in their native tongue's diction. There are a lot of times that vowels which should be long are short in this performance and vice versa. The first instance of it is when Pape sings the word "Stimmen" with the i vowel pronounced like English "ee" when it should be like the I in the English word "sit."
+Thomas Eastham I should qualify this with even highly accomplished professionals make dumb mistakes sometimes.
Yes. Fantastic diction and "meaning"
it's very hard to sing i as in sit, since the longer eee is more natural -- and not only for GERMAN singers!
This is by faaaaaar the best version I've ever heard
me 2
Parts of this almost sound like a major religious hymn. ... A truly great inspirational masterpiece composed by a deaf genius.
The Genius of Beethoven
One of the best basses I've ever heard in Beethoven’s Ninth. Pape.
That may be due to the fact that the first voice is bariton, not bass (even though René Pape is indeed naturally a bass).
Dieses Solistenquartett ist hervorragend. Danke
I am now 76 years old and I still cry every time I hear Beethoven,s 9th...to me it is combination of my favourite writer and my favorite composer. New Years eave is my special sad time,as we always listen to the 9th!
Cried again !
Cita maretie,in ODA BUCURIEI, avindu l la pupitru pe inegalabilul DANIEL BARENBOIM, un imn al bucuriei de a trai, de a iubi, de a fi impreuna, de a pretui fiecare moment din viata....Va multumesc pentru aceasta stare de gratie si nespusa fericire pe care am simtit o in aceasta auditie si vizionare de exceptie. Ma inclin cu respect si pietate in fata MARELUI COPOZITOR si in fata orchestrei, corului si MAGNIFICILOR SOLISTI!!!
Ich liebe die deutsche klassische Musik !!
With this wonderful performance the soul of Beethoven blesses us still.
Best part at 7:05
Hello from England - Beethoven spoke with the voice of God!
***** Yes, you are right.
+Der Joker Yes, and nobody would have cared about the poem if Beethoven hadn't set them to the voice of God.
German you're right :D
No, Schiller
HighKingTurgon
The poem of Schiller was popular, before Bethoven set it to music.
Ah, the genius of Beethoven. This is one great rendition. Barenboim is magnificent as are the orchestra and singers. Could America ever draw such a crowd for something like this? Not bloody likely.
Central Park? Sure.
Wunderbare Solisten, allen voran Rene Pape. Ich bin neben den stimmlichen Qualitäten jedes Mal wieder von seiner glasklaren Aussprache beeindruckt, bei der man wirklich jedes Wort versteht.
IMHO, this is the best choral piece ever written, composed and performed, and the best rendition I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing.
German music and then Beethoven is great!
DIVINE PERFORMANCE !!! BRAVO Dear DIVINE SINGERS with DIVINE VOICES FROM THE FANTASTIC CHOIR !!! BRAVO GERMANY !!! Your eternal fan Nadya Mirkova and all my big family, and all my friends from Sofia - Bulgaria - Europe and all World !!!
i have watched this over and over, again and again. no other make me feel full of joy more than this.
Ist das nicht herrlich! Ich bade mich in dieser Musik! Der Beethoven einfach klasse dargebracht. Tolle Stimmen, der Bass👍🏻
One of the greatest achievements of Western culture - so great it's readily grasped by all humanity - if open to it.
Ich bin aus Kolumbien , aber dieser Song ist einfach nur wunderschön , es ist auch die Hymne der Copa Libertadores ... unmöglich, nicht begeistert von dieser Symphonie zu bekommen.

Morino Kogu Schiller was my favourite author when I was a teenager...and I have always loved Beethoven’s 9th.
Alle Europäer, mein Freund, können stolz auf Beethoven sein.
@@marvinradermacher5781 Nur war Beethoven nicht sonderlich stolz auf sie.

Siehst du, du fühlst es auch. Du hast die Musik nicht komponiert, aber IN IHR die gemeinsame SEELEN-VERWANDSCHAFT wieder erkannt.
Never done better. Pape is a genius.
this open-air concert was televised (I was lucky enough to catch it on PBS). GREAT occasion: the 60th birthday of post-war Germany, and also a celebration of the "re-union" of the formerly divided Germanies. As I recall, the orchestra was composed of players from all over Germany.
Ich werde nie müde, es zu hören und mich zu freuen!
Pape is fantastic here a great Bass
I have watched this monumental piece performed countless times both live and on the internet. No one, I mean no one had sang the tenor solo of this piece better than Jonas Kaufmann. And I am sure that I don't have a serious hearing defect.
Sebastian Stenzel so true!!
Thomas Stock Some tenors just dont sing it the way Kaufmann did here. The quality of his voice is thick, yet does not get lost in the mud of all those singing and playing. Unlike all other's I have seen/heard, yes they hit the notes just like Kaufmann does but there is this certain thinness to the quality of their voice. It is like Kaufmann= Condensed milk, all others= skimmed milk.
Sebastian Stenzel Well Jonas Kaufmanns motherlanguage is german, so he understands it how to time and pronounce evrything better! And I think his voice is absolutly unique! I think the conductor knew it ;)
Im sure Daniel Brenboim did.
Seconded and I have performed in Beethoven 9 many times. Heard it countless times. Always a stunner. But Kaufmann NAILED it! (BTW, the conductor is Daniel Barenboim, just saying'.)
I cry every time..it reminds me of New Year’s Eve in Berlin when all church bells rang at midnight...and Freude schöner götterfunken was sung right on Midnight.. I used to try and stay awake as a child to just hear this part of beethovens 9th
Pape and Kaufmann are incredible here !
Their pronounciation is very good (I don't even speak german but I can tell when someone's diction is bad and it kind of tickles me) and they both have such warmth in their voice ! And warmth is, in my opinion, the most important thing when it comes to the solo parts of this masterpiece !
It's so difficult to find a "perfect" version of this piece. There is always some little detail I find in every version I try, but this one truly has something more !
This version had to be perfect, Berlin, Brandenburger Tor Platz unsw. So strange that the ruling elite may thrill to the melody but the powerful libretto, simply passes them by. A clear case of....Let those who have ears hear.
well, they are Germans. They can pronounce their own language... they are brilliant here, this is incredible singing.
Both René Pape and Jonas Kaufmann are Germans :)
It is not enough to be German to have a perfect diction when singing, actually even professional singers with great voices can have very bad diction in their mother tongues.

Wonderful article!
Thank you very much for the link!
Best regards.
The most beautifull Music in the world!
After the past year I believe I have never needed to hear this more than I have today. Happy 250th birthday (or thereabout) Herr Beethoven!
THE epic masterpiece for eternity. Incredible (outdoor) performance
by all involved. Kaufman and other soloists are thrilling as is the chorus
and orchestra. What else can be said about the brilliant Maestro Barenboim?
15:45 to 16:10 Jonas Kaufmann's breath control! Just amazing!!
hahaaa omg
This is most likely the finest rendition of this work that I have ever heard.
Ron Simmons I‘ve heard the 9th at least 10 times live with Barenboim, it’s always wonderful. He’s one of the greatest Beethoven conductors imo. Also wonderful his West Eastern Divan Orchestra. One rendition in Bayreuth with the Festspielorchester was the best I‘ve ever heard, but this one comes very close 😍
@@mathildewesendonck7225 thanks for the recommendation .

The face at 9.24 says it all. Germany has not always had a history to be proud of, but is not to be ignored for the beauty it has produced.

Pape qua canta con una tecnica poco perfetta come un dilettante .
questa e' la mia modesta opinione .
really amazing!!, long live Germany from which my offspring
ive heard this 1000 time over everyday i play it, im 86 yr's old.
I dont know a damn thing about choir and classical music but I really enjoy it. I find it very entertaining.

This is the best performance of this piece I've ever heard!

Although I love many other composers, singers, and conductors, this must be the absolute pinnacle of Western music.
Bravo bravo bravo bravo grandiose genial music
Wow, Rene Pape's diction is incredible.
well, this music, and the production, soloists, ..... I believe in the German DNA... They will eventually bring light to the world as does this incredible music. Bravo Deutschland, Bravo Beethoven!
With strong German roots, I feel such a connection to this music, to these people, to the (better parts, at least) of this history. Beethoven was a genius, and his glorious music will resound within our hearts for eons. (And yes, Pape was brilliant here! Kaufmann, too. And I always love Meier.)
Q
Indigo Bone you either feel a connection to all or none at all, wars shaped europe more than anything else
Yes, but I was referring more to the Nazis and the horrors of WWII. This was much later than Beethoven, thus, I do not need to feel connected to such atrocities. And, I would rather not. I know it's inescapable, but concerning Beethoven, it is removed, at least somewhat.
that's what i meant too, choosing only the good sites of your roots is bs, how can you say you feel a connection to germans when you want nothing to do with the third reich? and germany didn't exist yet when beethoven was alive, so what to feel connected about?
Wow, thank you for the history lesson, of which I am well aware. But thanks. As for the Third Reich, that was, technically, the Nazis, and not ALL Germans. Splitting hairs, I realize, but it's a hair I'm more than willing to split. It's there. It's a part of the history. But I don't have to like it, just as I don't have to like the hellish roller coaster on which we are about to embark in America come January. I don't like it.
Of all the rich civilizational advances Europe has given the world, nothing, in my opinion, is greater than the creation of the symphony orchestra, and music of geniuses such as Beethoven!!!
beethoven been gone 192 yr's and we still love it all.
Un Casting prestigieux :soliste chœur orchestre et....Le chef , quel chef !! Merci pour ce Post
Also great performance by engineer. Very clear with good separation and good mic-ing soloists.
Kaufmann and Pape are just awesome together!!!!!!

This was emotional
Long live to Deutschland, Beethoven & Sausages

Wow, Mr. Pape, gives me goosebumps.

it is the BEST 4th movement shared on UA-cam! Perfect.
Os olhos lacrimosos do jovem senhor alemão, por si só, já mostram o resultado causado pelo impacto único que sempre chega com esta obra-prima universal a todos os ouvidos... e corações!! Que Deus Pai guarde sempre o sempre nosso grande Ludwig, onde quer que ele esteja!!

And don't ignore the conductor : the great Daniel Barenboim !
Q: why does it say "BarDenboim" on my screen?

misspelling most likely
