That was so beautiful. Hearing the Opera Babes with an orchestra and choir and a nice video is a lovely rendition compared to the orchestral versions. The sound is magnificent. On a side note, why do arguements arise about people like it? If you don't like something, it's fine to say so, and if you don't think this is a good version of Beethoven's 9th then that's your opinion. Respect each other's opinions- someone may believe he wouldn't like it, others do. Be nice!

@Zenryobrownwolf How dare you presume that you know that this interpretation is not what Beethoven would have liked? Sure, it doesn't accord to your preferences, but you are a miserable arrogant by daring to suggest this is not Beethoven's 9th. If you have some mystique way of communicating with the long de-composed Ludwig, let us know. Frankly, you have no way of knowing that this is NOT his 9th symphony. Only Beethoven could tell us that. Cheers.

Yes of course but it´s not good pervormed. Beethoven had wrote other and THATS ist Beethoven 9 Symphony not this.

lol not Beethoven? this play is from Beethoven only performed by somebody else

Sorry i dont like it. It´s.. not Beethoven...

Excellent.

hi there i would love to be able to play these short videos on andres site and also the ones they send through to me from time to time but they will not play they keep coming and going of can some one help me re this that would be great cheers for now from oz

he's right why does everybody think they're a expert on classical music?

Why not? You make a great sweeping statement about it being bad. How do you know Beethoven wouldn't have liked it? How do you know it doesn't compare? Frankly, I am sick of reactions which pretend to have insight in hiw the great original was performed. Frankly, you are a 21st century citizen, and I respectfully suggest you have no idea as to how Beethoven would have wanted it performed two years after his death (he himself would probably have no idea either). Thumbs down to you.

hmm........ bad it doesn't compare to te great original

Day by day the dawn is breaking On the bond of brotherhood. O light of pure intention All dissension cast aside Now, the time to stand together No man need alone abide.

All believing, all embracing Earth below and sky above. There will never be a power Greater than united love. O light of hope enduring Ever in our hearts reside. Now, the time to stand together. No man may alone abide. All as one in every nation By our bearing will be bound. Peace, the true and humble treasure Through compassion will be found. O light of clearest vision No illusion shall divide. Now, the time to stand together. No man may alone abide.

GERMAN IS SUPERIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Don't tell me you are going to revive the language discussion again? Its ugly head has been reared in the past, and I do not envisage allowing a discussion on this topic again.

What language??

In Europe, thats the best i can give you lol. Italy from the looks of it.

I think it's Bonn. Beethoven borns there :)

A Bavarian girl I know told me it's Vienna.

Does anyone recognize the location for this video (the lion statues, etc.) Thanks!
