Igor Levit plays the “Ode to Joy” theme from the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as its first three variations in celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. The sonorous piano version dates back to Franz Liszt, whose transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies Levit has long studied and admired.
The pianist, who calls himself a “Citizen, European, Pianist” on his website, has often played the almost four-minute excerpt as a highly symbolic encore - such as his performance of the piece at the 2017 “First Night of the Proms” in London’s Royal Albert Hall, which was understood as a decidedly pro-European statement. Levit’s social awareness and will to take political stances combine with the love of Beethoven’s universal music in the musical passage of just over 100 measures.
It is not known on exactly what day Beethoven was born in Bonn 250 years ago. What is certain is only that he was baptised on 17 December 1770. In 2020 there has been all too little to celebrate for the music world and the natural culminating moment of the anniversary year has been largely abandoned. “Seid umschlungen, Millionen” (Be embraced, millions)? This is certainly not a good idea in times of social distancing. Now Levit brings an extremely popular piece of music into focus, which under normal circumstances, would be performed at this time of year by extensive orchestral forces at many venues around the world.

Wow this is impressive. The accents are absolutely perfect. Beautiful beautiful beautiful!
It’s rare to find an arrangement for piano that is so technically accurate to the 9th symphony, i.e. correct bassline with the famous melody and corresponding harmonies.
Credit to you for using Franz Liszt’s transcription and interpreting the music beautifully.
Thank you, please write more comments this one is so informative for me.
I just saw 60 mins. I LOVE YOU!! I’ve never been so moved by a pianist, an artist, with such passion. I’m just overwhelmed. I pray to be able to see you in person. I’m 60, so it better be soon! 😉
Just say you love him 🤨🤨🤨😐😑🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤨🤨🤨😐😐😐😐
😆🤦🏻😆🤦🏻😆🤦🏻😆🤦🏻
Was wäre die Welt ohne diese Komposition…und dann so unglaublich arrangiert…
I watched you last week when I tuned a you tube channel where they were showing the Nobel Prize concert 2020. I was mesmerized by your genius. I am a very amateur piano player lady who loves piano music since I was a child. Today I found an interview with you, and learned that you feel very connected with Beethoven. I have to admit I am more of a Chopin person; I do play a very basic Moonlight Sonata though; but after this video and hearing you play Ode to Joy, I will look into Beethoven's pieces more, and of course, I have subscribed to your channel. Wish you much success, and I hope I can go to one of your concerts (live) after this pandemia. Keep up the excellent mastery of your skills, the world needs you ; )
This was my favourite piece of music as a child, and only recently remembered the name, and sure as hell the nostalgia hit me like a freight train.😅
Wunderschön, wie alles von Igor! Absoluter Meister und Ausnahmepianist
なんて美しいのでしょう🌟
繊細な表現に、心が震えます✨
ありがとう🌹

“I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig Van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony.”
clockwork
One of the best movies ever made.

Just Saw your interview and I was so moved. First time I am seeing you and hearing your story. Thank you Igor, for sharing your brilliance and talent. I think you’re amazing. I am in South Florida and we don’t have the greatest history of tolerance here for people like us but we’re slowly evolving and getting better. My world is very nice but now it’s a much better place, knowing you’re sparkle is in it. Sending you love and good energy for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2021 new year!
I am excited to hear more great things from you. Stay well and best regards. David A.
Absolutely stunning
This is boss as hell with added boss. From 1:35 is really difficult to voice and this sounds incredible.
This at RAH for BBC proms… mind blowing. We all knew what you were getting at :) and you could hear a pin drop. Such delicacy, yet each voice crisp and clearly ringing out in that vast hall. So beautiful
Alles Gute zum 250., lieber Beethoven
I just heard & watched you play for the first time and I’m very impressed at your relativity to the music. As if there is no end to the music and begging of you. AS ONE. One very impressive man.
I just saw your 60 minutes interview and I find your story very interesting. I appreciate your music and your causes. Signed the most unlikely fan.
Sounds for me like a journey.
From former Europe to future Europe.
Love how you're playing this piece. Wonderful to listen to.
Stunning & passionate interpretation of Ode to Joy. Look forward to more & more.
Just wonderful
2:00I love the way Ludwig had that bass note and themidd harmony note after it at 2:01 off beat. It sounds like it’s a mistake but beautifully it isn’t. It’s perfectly unique.
Marvellous! I loved the triumphant sound of the bells! It's incredible what Igor Levit can conjure up on piano. Pure genius.
Simply sublime. Thank you for sharing your love of music with the world. Thank you for making it work, despite the world public health crisis. You are bringing joy into homes and hearts far more widely, now, than possibly ever before. Be well.
Thanks for the breath of fresh air Igor, during these times we need beautiful souls like your for us to dream and listen to wonderful music. thank you from Canada🇨🇦💯
Ich könnte dieses Stück & Performance in Dauerschleife hören.....soooo schön!!!
Trotz oder auch gerade wegen der schwierigen Zeiten, die wir haben, das Stück, dass ich mir gewünscht hätte. Danke und eine gute Weihnachtszeit! 🎄
Who would think a simple 5 finger exercise could sound so good but then it is Beethoven.
Schön gespielt 🎹😍
Hab Dich gerade im Tv gesehen
🌈🌠Hello Dear Igor Levit🎹! Thank You Very Much💖For Your Wonderfull Play🎶💐✌
Touching... magnificent! ✨
Thank you for the concerts from your home.
Thank you, I just watched this with my 3 year old daughter on Apple Music this morning, she loved it! She is a big fan, and loves your recording of the complete Beethoven sonatas to fall asleep to. Thanks professor! 🙏🏿✌🏿

2024 June Holland. Thank you Mr. Levit., wonderful performance.. 🌷🌷🌷
Danke, dass Du mir die Klassik beibringst, love it!
Maravilhoso.
Truly beautiful and magnificent!
Прекрасное исполнение, вся душа вложена. БРАВО!!!
Danke!!!!!💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕
A fantastic pianist. I just watched his Appassionata. Brilliant! Really interesting that he is one of the 'new generation' of classical virtuosi. Keeping it vital; keeping it relevant!
Not so convinced by this transcription, though. It seems to repeat the first two themes endlessly and to omit the transitional section from this well-known section of the 9th symphony.
Klasse !!!!!
I love his gifts and artistry! I could listen to him play ALL NIGHT LONG! Just amazing...cannot wait to see him in concert!
Amazing performance of this lovely work! Do you have sheet music for this that you could share please? Thank you!!
Bravo!!! Thank you so much!!!
German Music and German Engineering...Simply the Best !
Wundervoll. Vielen Dank
Declining the ending to exactly where it started was a touch of genius
Hammer, einfach nur Hammer!
Beautiful!
thank you for your performance
I cried
Bravo, Wunderbar you are beautiful!!
Melódia od L. Bethovena, ktorý zhudobnil verše F. Schillera " An die Freude" Óda na radosť, je svetoznáma. Žiaľ, slová F. Schillera ľudia nevnímajú.
meraviglia meraviglia
Bravo🎄🎄🎄
The sound great, Awesome!

My son is 6 years old now, he has learned piano for 2 months. He really loves your performance.
Wonderful ❤
Hi! Really fantastic, wonderful! Can I ask a question? I’m a blind musician I live in Ascoli Piceno; I would like to know how did you record it? Best wishes!
Maria Vittoria Tranquilli:)!
May the peace, the mercy and the blessings of God be upon you dear Maria.
It is a studio recording.
Keep on!
Greetings from Albania.
❤️❤️❤️
@@Mavi98479 there are two microphones close to the side of the piano and two microphones further away at the end of the piano. Unfortunately, I don't know the near microphones. The two microphones further away look like Neumann M149s.
it hope this help you
❤️❤️❤️
❤️😘❤️❤️❤️
Ihre Hände erzeugen die Zauber des Orchesters!
Great 😊
Danke Igor van Beethoven, Alles gut zum Geburtstag Lieber Ludwig van Beethoven
@Igor Levit Du bist nicht Igor! Was soll das hast du selber nichts in deinem Leben auf das du stolz sein kannst? Musst du deshalb tolle Menschen facken um Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen? Das ist si billig.
I really love this. Does anyone know the music score? Where to buy it?

Danke, lieber denkender virtuos!
ein mensch der gerade als Jude nichts aus der geschichte gelernt hat - daher eine sehr arme seele!
@@halloleute9 was soll er nicht aus der Geschichte gelernt haben?

sie kennen seine aussage in der sprache der nazis über afd mitglieder nicht, warum nicht?
Beethoven is not remembered for misplaced political entusiasms and neither will Mr. Levit for the cause de jour. Great stuff here. Love the 1927 Steinway. I lived in Astoria, Queens for a decade not far for Steinway's offices and factory (if that's the proper name for a place that produces beauty.
You performed so wonderful. Could you share me the piano sheet music? Thank you so much!!!
Super und schön ❤️
Wundervoll❤ Bravo👏👏
Гимн Евросоюза прекрасна!
Особенно с текстом на латыни.
Beautiful! It was so good that I grinned the whole time. I really want to know where can I find a score for this version.
Viene en la transcripción para piano de la novena sinfonía de Franz List
2:22 i really like this part
You are a phenomenal pianist!

It's a best music my favorite piece of Beethoven it reminds of the best dream I ever had It's best and at the same time a little sad that I lost Beethoven in My dream at age 13 after humanities classe I had at school I dreamed that lived during composer's time and in my dream I dreamed that I lived in the composer's time in the year 1770 that's when I was born. I wasn't really born at that time but I dreamed like I was born at that time during composer's time during era baroc and was born in a different country then the composers. I dreamed that I was born in Ukraine and then moved to America to practice playing musical instruments and then I realized that I had the talent of a composer, a songwriter and a singer and so then I wanted to show Mozart my talent so I decided to travel to Australia Salzbourg first I took a ride by carriage and the horse to the shore at that time they didn't have plains so I had to get there on the boat or a ship and so I traveled over there on a ship and found Mozart's house It was beautiful it was surrounded with beautiful flowers 🌺🌹 and so then I went in side his house and opened the door and lie down on his bed and started pulling blanket off him but he didn't feel anything because he slept very strong and sometimes even if a dog barked he wouldn't still wake up and so I pull off his blanket and then he started pulling of my blanket too and finally in the morning 🌅 when he woke up he saw me and I told him that I wanted to show him my talent so I sat down on his piano and began playing and then he liked my music so much that he fell in love with me but he couldn't be with me because he was married and at first when Mozart's wife saw me she was jealous. I dreamed that Mozart's wife was named Anna and she had black long hair and he met her at the concert and he fell in love with her at the first sight I dreamed it exactly like in the movie Amadeus and told him that you have too much paper in your closet and on the floor every where that you don't think about anything else except for your compositions but in my dream Mozart's parents usually is mom didn't agree with me as being Mozart's girlfriend because he was married and she said that I have more talent than her I and that deserve better than her to be Mozart's girlfriend and I fell asleep with Mozart on his bed before his parents told me something about me being Mozart's girlfriend and then when his wife went in and saw me in a bed with Mozart she got very jealous that she ran away and then the next morning I looked at Mozart and fell in love with him to because he was a handsome young man at the age 26 and I dreamed that I was 15 even though in real life I was 13 when I had that dream. In my dream I dreamed about all Mozart's family including his sister and I also dreamed about there names Mozart mom was named Frida Mozart his dad Leopold Mozart and his sister Annabelle Mozart but didn't dream about His wife's last name and so I dreamed how I made love in a bed 🛏️ also so on the third day I slept Mozart and I asked myself where did Mozart go and then I herd his servant say that Mozart when to baptize with Beethoven at the church like most people said that Mozart met Beethoven at the church to baptise and then Mozart told me when he came back that he told about my talent Beethoven and then Beethoven invited me to come and show me his talent and dreamed also about another composer Salieri that wanted to kill Mozart and then at first I sent to Salieri and pointed gun on to Salieri and told him if you hurt him I will kill you. Then Mozart gave me beautiful clothes to prepare for Beethoven's invitation he gave me a fashion wig and a fancy dress in box and then I wrote a letter to Beethoven and told him I'm coming I wrote him in an envelope and a scroll and went to Beethoven's house in Germany and at first when I went to Beethoven's house I saw his Girlfriend Beethoven girl Elise for who he wrote Fur Elise and she introduced herself to me she said my name is Elise and I'm 18 years old and in My dream Mozart changed my name in my dream to a different name than my original it was too Tamara but I changed it to Elizabeth more beautiful name so I told Elise that my name was Elizabeth in my dream Elise was a beautiful young lady what had a talent of a skilled pianist and wore beautiful fancy clothes that was at that time very fashioned a hat with a feather and beautiful dress and red slippers. After she found out that I wanted to show my talent to Beethoven she went to another room and so then I began to show my talent so I sat down on his piano and began playing to him and he found out that I played a very beautiful music and another that I composed and all so he told me a few secrets how how to composer much better he said when the sound goes high the music sounds happy and when the pitch or the sound the goes down song like sad music and and when pitch goes middle then it sounds middle and he also pointed at the book 📖 of notes with his pointer and then I went to a queen Elizabeth during Mozart's times and played her my composition and Mozart's and so we began playing music to her and she gave me and Mozart a room in her palace she had eight rooms in her palace and gave us one and then Beethoven put me to my first concert and over there I became famous in one country where Beethoven lived Germany and I dreamed that Mozart got sick I felt sad that I thought he would die and then I felt so sad that I kissed him in his lips and suddenly a miracle happened that cured Mozart from his illness from cold ❄️🥶 and that miracle not only cured from his illness but increased his to live long and at the same time not to look old when you are aged but to look like 18 when we are 100 years old in real life it still happens that miracle but very rarely so I saved Mozart but lost Beethoven came too late to his country before Christmas 🎄🎁 and it was bad to live in the countries where it snows because at that time there was a bad medicine and in my I was too busy with my concerts and Mozart too so we didn't think about anything else except for our compositions and I to Mozart that I wanted to to divorce his wife but he couldn't think about anything then his composition and then we were too busy that it was all my fault that I lost Beethoven and he died and so I went to his grave 🪦 then put the rose 🌹 on top of Beethoven's grave 🪦 and said I promise I will never forget you you'll always be in my heart ❤. In my dream Beethoven died from different reason then people said from what reason did Beethoven really died of and in the dream Mozart didn't die in my life that dream in my dream like in real life 🧬 but was just a dream and in my dream I dreamed that I saved Mozart not like in real life Mozart didn't die on the same day as me but in real life he did and then then I got used to my life with out Beethoven and began playing my next concert tour in Vienna where most German composers made their concert tour over there that place was at the palace in Vienna forest and so then came in for my first concert and as I walked through the palace I saw beautiful portraits and landscape pictures as walked through the palace those landscapes reminded me of a museum 🖼️ or picture gallery but it really wasn't a gallery or a museum but it looked it was beautiful there were too many pictures on the walls. I will describe pictures that that saw a portrait of a man and next to it a picture of a man and a woman a love picture and a landscape it looked like a man and woman in the forest and next them I saw other landscapes like hunting or protecting themselves in a war landscape with a man with a sword and on a horse and another picture looked like the one on the right and so I went from a dark place upstairs in the palace and saw a few portraits there till finally I reached the stage at first I saw pianist playing at first then he went of stage for I little while then I began playing and then got up and stood at microphone 🎤🎙️ and began playing at the same time the pianist went on the piano again and started playing and I began singing my a song that I wrote as a songwriter and it was joyful, joyful we adore the thee the song is important to us to make our talent move forward and begin singing the song of our and then the pianist stopped playing and then I got out that violin 🎻 from the Mozart's closet and began playing like viruses and then Mozart came in to my concert and gave me a hug but came in to my concert very late before he went down the hallway and kissed women's hands as it was fashioned to do that during era baroc and Mozart lived during baroc times and did as he kissed women's arms he herd a beautiful voice singing and a beautiful music my voice was so beautiful and so loud that it was herd down on the street and in the forest I dreamed that Mozart came a hug and suddenly it got quiet and the audience clapped and then I bowed to the audience and went home to Mozart's city beautiful I went to another city for my concert tour and came back into Mozart's city where lived I because after a concert in Vienna famous in the world like the composers Mozart and Beethoven but It was very sad that Beethoven only knew that was famous only in one country and not the world he didn't find out because he died earlier then he would probably find out and then so I lived a happy together with Mozart I had 4 kids for boys Beethoven only found out that I was pregnant only with one baby 🍼 but Mozart saw all my kiss and we were too busy to take care of our kids and so the servant didn't and didn't have a problem with our money because together with Mozart we made so much money 🤑 💰 we became twice as rich I wanted Mozart to divorce he but he didn't have time said that the marriage not necessary we can still love each other and even with out the marriage and so th
and so I dreamed that Mozart's sister would sometimes visit us and sometimes stay but sleep in a different room from us it didn't really happen in my life because in real life I didn't live during composer's time but in my dream I dreamed that I did.
Surprenante personnalité.....LOUISIANE
Beautiful performance, thank you for sharing it!
I must say I like it
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Does anybody out there who transcribed this? How can I find that arrangement?
imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.9%2C_Op.125_(Beethoven%2C_Ludwig_van)
There is a transcription from Liszt...I don't know if it's the same as this one, though.
It's the Liszt transcription. Igor switched back to the earlier versions of the theme to make his own ending. The original goes much further of course.
Thank you both very much!
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt...
Is there somewhere to buy this arrangement in sheet music??
Someone knows where to find the sheet music for this arrangement??
Isnt this the transcription of the great spine breaking Liszt?
