Spent my first decade of life in love with Seiji-san's musical skill. My father was lucky enough to sing under his conducting with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I still think he was the best conductor the BSO ever had.
RIP SEIJI (2/13/24) This is my favorite Symphony score!! Our high school band played it for our schools Madrigal Choir concerts This version brought tears to my eyes. 😢
Burst into tears of gratitude and admiration after the last note. How I love(d) watching Seiji conduct. Such a passion and pure living embodiment of the music. And his deep appreciation and honoring of the musicians and vocalists so apparent. What a blessing he was to us; what a privilege to have shared the same lifetime.
- R.I.P Grande Maestro Seiji Ozawa!!! Sentiremos falta de sua música. Que o Eterno acolha a sua alma em um lugar sossegado e com celestial música. QUE LEGADO!!!
For me this movement is the embodiment of "faith in humanity restored." To think Beethoven was physically in the pits of suffering and despair, yet still produced this piece of utmost hope, overcoming, and triumph. The amount of passion and faith he must've had within him. Thank you Ozawa-san, for bringing this magnificent piece to life and imbuing it with grace and vitality.

The orchestra is somewhat "downsized," but Maestro makes the absolute most of it. I well remember when he was Musical Director at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Well done.
I completelly agree. I'll make a try settint it to "made for kids" for a while. Unfortunatelly after this no comments and saving to playlist will be available I guess.

For some reason I found this recording and have been playing it all week along with other Ozawa recordings. I was young in the 1960s and 70s when Ozawa was director of the Ravinia Festival near where I grew up. Ravinia was the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The extent to which the Maestro introduced me to so much of classical music at Ravinia has surprised me in retrospect and I've been reliving my experience of him this week and feeling immense gratitude. About 30 minutes ago I found out that he passed away 6 days ago, about the time I began thinking of him so intensely. I feel like a family member has left my world. Rest in peace, Maestro, You were loved and most deeply respected. Thank you for giving me music.
I was listening to this when I found out that Seiji Ozawa died days ago. I was in tears especially he was the one he has done Beethoven's 9th (for me) as perfect as it is. Rest in peace, maestro.
The passing of Seiji Ozawa marks a significant loss to the world of classical music. His contributions are indelibly etched in the annals of musical excellence. As one reflects upon his vast discography, it becomes evident that each recording encapsulates a profound artistic vision. These performances, resplendent with emotional depth and technical mastery, stand as enduring tributes to his extraordinary virtuosity. The rarity of such a confluence of talent and charisma underscores the magnitude of this bereavement. Yet, through these recordings, Seiji Ozawa's legacy will continue to inspire and resonate with future generations.
How small the world is. Another inappropriate comment. What are you really looking for a balance of power with narcissistic words. That's well what I saw in you during the exchanges. My musical knowledge will always be greater than yours because you have a lot to learn in the way of writing musically. On this subject, no one appreciated your redaction (Carl Nielsen). What do you want, the natural selection does in sort that there is leaders and followers. As God is beneficent ! Why delete your comments since you constantly seek to demean the debate, not musical but that of others in the occurrence my person. I forbid you to call me a coward because it demonstrates your nature short of arguments. You are egocentric and sociopath: Coward yourself ! The formula 'Polemic is the puissance of the powerless' sticks well to you. By learning music we understand human nature better. You'll learn it the hard way sooner or later. People like you have no place serving music. *Lucien*
Did really watch so many vids of greats conduct this, but somehow this is more piercing then the rest - cleanness and pristine of sound is beyond heavens , or it could simply be me at this point in time after the sad news tat Maestro is no more... RIP dear sir.
When a soul enters the gates of Heaven, there is absolute quiet, not a note heard but there is heavenly music all throughout he eternal realm praising and glorifying God from eternity to eternity. 🕊️ 🙏🕊️🙏
I am also very saddened our marvellous friend & most conscientious conductor has passed on, as he had become a special person whom many of us music loversoved so much.We hope he rests in peace.Amen.
I resonated with what you said about liveliness of voice! I thought the tenor did a terrific job of conveying lightness and joy! Not all caught up in the somber Beethoven mythos!
