Ode To Joy - André Rieu 

It took Beethoven nearly two years to compose Symphony No. 9. A profound masterpiece of ingenuity that only he could pull off. The incredible thing is that he did so without being able to hear a single note. ( Hearing loss began in 1798. By 1816 he was completely deaf )

This symphony is, I believe, the most beautiful piece of music ever composed. It fills my heart and soul with heavenly joy.

Holy crap. Out of nowhere that just brought me to full tears. That’s the first time this has ever just randomly happened to me listening to music. I’ve gotta listen to more classical...

When a deaf man composes a magnum opus of this magnitude. You know that passion and mastery have converged to it's final glorious conclusion.

I was in that audience when they did this one at that very concert!

My beloved late wife and I chose this to be played as we walked back up the aisle after exchanging our vows. My knees are now buckled, I can't stop weeping.

The greatest piece of music ever written.

At 2:23 what my exact reaction would be. How can you not cry at something so epic and genius!

I don't speak German, but this moves me every time.

Oh my GOD. Thank God for Ludwig Van Beethoven. Thank god for music. Thank god for emotions

I wanted Beethoven himself to walk up on stage. A moving piece of music performed very well even without Beethoven....

This is the beauty of the Music,this is the beauty of the Universe.😊 I'm not a European but I know the whole anthem and I know the beauty inside it, which always makes me cry.😢

If you can't find joy on this earth look for his brother Beyond the stars, come sing dream sung live dreaming of the new sun in which men They will be brothers again ... 🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵 excellent for this moment ... your style sounds more beautiful!🧡🥰

I'm proud to be European. And I think you all should be proud of. No matter East or West Europe

If you are not filled with Joy by this music, you don't have a pulse. As far as I am concerned, if Beethoven only created his 9th Symphony he would still be one of the greats.

Hoongjoong is smart 👑 excited for today

I'm here after watching ATEEZ performing Answer with remix of Ode to joy , the classical music is so beautiful

i came because ateez, this masterpeace that i almost forgot :(( love this so much!!!

I was in the audience for several concerts, and to hear it live is beyond belief. What a brilliant performance by so many talented people. BRAVO!!!

2:24 I absolutely feel with her!

Europeans are amazing

Please tell me someone else is here early June 2020 when it feels like the whole world around us is falling apart!

That a deaf man composed this is a miracle. 😮

This masterpiece deserves to be the anthem and play when the covid already defeated. 👌

Lyrics: Freude Schöner Götterfunken, Tochter Aus Elysium Wir Betreten Feuertrunken Himmlische Dein Heiligtum Deine Zauber Binden Wieder Was Die Modi Streng Geteilt Alle Menschen Werden Brüder Wo Drein Sanfter Flügel Weilt

United Europe forever. New endless Roman empire with humanity values.Europe, love, humanity, prosperity ❤️❤️❤️

The Ninth is humankind’s most amazing artistic creation ever conceived! Bravo Beethoven!

If there is a heaven, this sure is its anthem.

A piece of music for the ages created by a genius not to be seen again for a thousand years.

Even though I've heard it hundreds of times, it still moves me like the first day. I wish I could see Beethoven just once

What a mesmerising performance!! The soprano (woman on the right) was just another level at the end! This is probably the greatest musical work ever produced by a profound genius.

If the grandeur of this piece does not bring tears to your eyes, check your heart.

Why an I crying? Like seriously I was just happy a few moments ago and came across this video now I'm legit in tears wtf

I have goosebumps all over my body

We cannot deny that this Beethovenian piece is one of his greatest. Not only we can enjoy the quality of high-quality musical composition, but also the quality of the message. No wonder Beethoven has been accepted as one of the musical luminaries of Europe. Yet, we cannot fail to note that such a personality was produced in a Land mired with the lowest kind of human beings that history has ever seen. Nazism was produced in the same Land, which seems to contradict the sublime Beethovenian message. And worst of all, Nazism and fascism is alive and well, not only in Germany, but now on American soiil. Or so it seems.

Thank you for reminding me beauty still exists in this world

Belíssimo!!! 🎻🎶💖👏👏👏👏👏👏Saudações do Brasil 💚🇧🇷💛

No one going to talk about the woman in the background with her voice as if it was going off to another planet? 2:18

I can't think of any other place in the world where the core statement "All men shall be brothers" is as true every year as at op het Vrijthof in Maastricht, when these concerts are held there. People from all over the whole world celebrating together with their hosts André Rieu & JSO an unforgettable evening with music!

If you start tearing when listening to this great piece, congratulations, you’re a human!

Yet again André Rieu and his orchestra perform so, so well in performing Ode to Joy, a classic piece that ranks up there as one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I would live to attend one of his concerts - it would be such a privilege to hear music performed so well, in fact, just about as close to absolute perfection as you can get, and the atmosphere there in the square in Maastricht must be really, really special indeed.

Despite being Arab, I can't deny that this is the greatest piece of music ever been played since the creation of this world.

WOW WOW WOW. When that satellite image zoomed into where the concert was being held, THAT was amazing, truly AMAZING. I loved it. One tiny planet in space and all this life going on in that one place.

❤️🇦🇷🇭🇺"ODE TO JOY" Taken from the DVD "Live in. Vienna" André Rieu an d J Strausse Orchester.. OMG!! What a beautiful song in memory... Composed by one of the greatest and most influential composers of all time, since on one day in 1770 Ludwig Van Beethoven composed this musical wonder. His lyrics are a legacy given: "All people become your brothers, where does your soft wing rest, the best achievement of success? Being a friend of a friend...", What a beautiful tribute this performance by André Rieu and his Orchestra, in talented voices Mirursia and two beautiful Sopranos and the Plarins Tenor's, a song, which is an extraordinary legacy of a great Beethoven. And André Rieu magnificent Musician Master violinist Composer, Director recreates us in this unforgettable performance that embraces our soul.. Thank you for this, I love you..❤️🇦🇷🇭🇺

Be thankful everyday for our freedom,our healthcare, our democracy, as bad and imperfect as it might be at times and our timeless beautiful tradition and culture showing in every street corner, in any piece of music, in every kind of art ancient and new. May Europe prosper forever.

I believe that when Beethoven died, God let him hear his Magnum Opus there in heaven and you can't tell me otherwise

May we re-enter Europe one day.

This has to be The World Anthem, an international moment where everyone, everybody sings it in unity.

André Rieu is the real Top G

The tears in peoples eyes ….. this really might be the greatest live of music ever composed

ATINY ♡

as a german, i became emotional. People like president Charles de Gaulle in france or *chancellor Konrad Adenauer in germany, and a lot of other women and men who bring the first step to european integration. I'm so, so happy about our Union. Thank you Konrad Adenauer, for the investigate in my future. Political System in Germany: *(Chancellor - Head of Government) (President - Head of state)

That woman was incredible ... she sang her heart out ... wow

2:09 is the homologous of "Bass Drop" in our century

This is mind blowing. I love this. Andrei and his Orchestra and his tenors and ladies made such a wonderful job of this. Andrei always puts on a great show. People think it's crazy that a deaf man composed this but he has the tune set on his heart and his mind. He may not be able to hear from outside in but how about inside out. Yeah I know you're probably all laughing at this but how else did he manage to do it. Only for his mind and heart are still able to hold a tune. THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC IS TO THIS DAY, STILL ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE. I LOVE IT. God bless Andrei and all the gang and all who love them. Susan xxx❤❤❤🙏🕊👍❤❤🇮🇪☘

The best part about this is the shots of the audience with such a profound sense of peace about them.

It’s such a great anthem, the lady at 2:27 started singing

Classic music is not my favorite genre but every time I listen, it gives the goosebumps.

Can't blame the young lady @ 2:25. Makes me weep most every time I hear it.

Briljantan u svakom pogledu.Još nisam uloznala čoveka sa toliko vrlina u sebi kao što je on .Mislim da se takav više nece roditi !ULEPŠAO NAM JE ŽIVOT. BOG NEKA GA ČUVA PODARI MU ZDRAVLJE I SRECU .HVALA MU ŠTO POSTOJI NA OVOM SVETU !👑❤👑❤👑❤

Andre Rieu absolutely stunning performance from you all you are a credit to the hours of practicing to reach this level of excellence. With this totally terrible virus Covid19 sweeping across the world I'm praying for all the people who has suffered so far with this condition I'm also holding my breath that this will be mostly over when Andre Rieu starts his home performance from Maaestrich as I have booked a package and tickets to see his show in July I missed out last year and I'm 70 so need to see it soon!!! Keep well stay safe all other countries from the UK.

atiny here

Never forget hearing this after Sunday mass my Gpa singing it without the notes, -for u Gpa RIP

Ode to Joy shouldn't be just the anthem of europe, but the anthem of all humanity

Ludwig van Beethoven....take a bow....love from India

*Atiny =">*

The conductor's face at 2:44 gave me a ..."ha-haaaaaaaa yeeeeees, play that music, you musical angelic horde"... kinda vibe. ...aaand gonna give this a like.

It's an amazing performance.We all need this breathtaking song in these difficult times we live.

Andre' and company are pure PERFECTION. I've seen Andre' in concert at least 3 times over the years and there is absolutely NOTHING but perfection in all of his concerts. Thank you for being the person you are.

If we ever find ourselves on a battlefield on some distant planet in the future, fighting for the survival of our species; while charging the hordes of the enemy aliens, this is the music that will grant us victory.

The most important and beautiful song, this masterpiece remember me the important of the fatherland and brothership! 🇪🇺

This song is above all languages, above all divisions, above religions, above the color of our skin, above politics, above all the narrow things that segragate the human race ... it is indeed the true righteous testament of humanity and it's inherrent goodness.

2:09 when you thought you have a class, but it's saturday

So beautiful beyond words!!! This music, no matter in what language the lyrics are sung, transcends all languages grabbing the heart! Most lovely! How awesome to see the space view to Maastricht! 🌍Amazing! Much Love to you! You & your orchestra & singers are so beyond talented! ♥️♥️♥️

2:22 i ABSOLUTELY feel you sister.

Yeah , now the ideas in this song is the way for Europe to overcome all this bad things

That beautiful screen that you put behind your orchestra where it shows the world and in the end we all get together with you ...! ... it is indescribable ... it is more than wonderful ... you make me cry Andre ...! 🥰

Fantastic creation from an amazing composer, accompanied by a stage full of talent and a wonderful orchestra leader. I’m filled with joy❤️

Look at all those Lilin and their beautiful culture

Tears of joy on my face

You bring such joy with your music. Thank you Andre and orchestra ❤️

2:40 His face is absolutely perfect.

If there is a war between aliens and Humanity in the future. This should be the anthem and rallying song for humanity...

i am literly crying

Thank you for posting this in such a turbulent times. We all need to take this to heart.

When COVID-19 end .. we should sing it 💔

Mai presus de aceasta melodie nu exista asta este supremul și a compuso un om care nu auzea ar trebui sa fie imnul întregi lumi

LONG LIVE the good music. Thank You Mr, Rieu from a very small caribbean island Puerto Rico . Looking forward to see your show in Orlando Florida on march 2021...!!!!!! Hail to the King of Waltz..

German culture is the peak of human achievement, closely followed by that of Italy.

Such a beautiful, strong voice from a little girl! I love her :)

People attended their to listen music, not to show off. No one has their phone on hand. Everyone is captivated by the piece art Beethoven has created. Truly amazing.

My Europe ❤️

Beautiful and powerful music from magical Maastricht! 👌😍

Wunderbar...besonders jetzt. Lasst Euch nicht von der Angst in Ketten legen. Bleibt Freigeister, Individualisten im Fühlen, Denken und Handeln..

LONG LIVE EU

THE WORLD'S ANTHEM - let joy reign !

An absolute BANGER

A magnificent performance! This is, without a doubt, one of the best musical compositions of all time. Greetings from Peru

My wife and I walked down the aisle triumphantly after saying our vows. Magnificent work!
