- From us, for you.
We’re adjusting to a new reality and we’ll have to find solutions in order to support each other. Creative forces help us, let’s think outside of the box and use innovation to keep our connection and make it work, together. Because if we do it together, we’ll succeed.

World leaders need to collaborate as well as professional musicians can do.
It usually takes a LOT of practice to get there. ;)

Thank you - as an ER physician dealing with the repercussions of this global tragedy, it is beautiful to have reminders of why we are putting our lives at risk every day. You have touched my heart and given me, and others, strength to keep being what we are - doctors - because of what you are - artists....
We can't begin to thank you enough for what you do, but we hope you feel our deep gratitude and appreciation.
huge gratitude to you and all the medical heroes and helpers
Thank you, Doctor. By protecting life, you're making beauty too--every day.
THANK YOU - from a stranger in NYC
Thank you so much. It is finally being recognized that YOU are the heroes that are important and not the pampered celebrities and athletes that are normally worshipped.
My five-year-old son can’t get enough of this. I tried to get him to listen to a recording of the whole symphony, but he wasn’t having it. “I want the Beethoven where they speak Dutch!” And he starts saying, “Hallo allemaal, ik ben,” to remind me which video he means, even though he knows no Dutch. And while he’s listening: “I can’t wait for the flute!!!”
Update: I’m glad to report that a few weeks on, my son is listening to whole Beethoven symphonies! And it all started with this video. Thank you so much!
Amazing, many adults these days don’t even have the attention span to listen to entire symphonies... :)
Even learning some Dutch. What an appreciation. Thank you!
Goed gedaan, jochie!
Same as my three month old Siamese twins. They always argue about, who will first take the bow...
Is there another piece that speaks so well to the indomitable human spirit? Ugly crying here, folks. Thank you for sharing.
Randy Goldberg there is not. Ode to Joy is the universal language of music that everyone can understand and love
Thank you Randy!! We're playing it live again on December 31 with the full orchestra and choir! Sign up for (free!) for the concert stream here: bit.ly/registerforb9
Expected: a melody we've all heard many times
Expected: the slow build as each musician comes in
Unexpected: all of a sudden being overwhelmed by the beauty of it all
Art can be so special in these times.
Bless you all, and thank you.
May I add another?
Unexpected: being completely overwhelmed (and in JOYful tears) when the chorus came in at the end
I have never before started to cry hearing this piece
Unexpected: The amount of "thumbs down" reactions. What is wrong with these people?
Exactly what I have felt.
Art is always special, its one of the biggest parts we are missing in the world right now. Human contact and art are both the best ways to show love fir each other and fir humanity.
Take care.

Beautiful and true
Beautiful, I'll steal this to share
Beautifully said.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! 🇧🇷
I am a physician in Indonesia. I lost it when the chorus came in. Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOUR DOING
Terima kasih, terima kasih, terima kasih!!
Tetap semangat, sehat selalu, Dok! ❤️❤️❤️
SEMANGAT TERUS!! Terima kasih atas kerja kerasmu.
semangat dok tributes to you😍😍
Semangat, Pak Dokter! Kita pasti bisa kalahkan virus Corona!
A deaf man that knows what joy would sound like is a great testament to the potential greatness of humanity.
This is why music is SO important. In a language that we can all relate to, all feel and all bond. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For sharing your gifts with us all in time where we need hope, love and song. Beautiful!
Literally crying at the end. It's difficult to explain how powerful this music is. This song has survived so many ugly events in human history. Yet, it remains beautiful. Thank you Rotterdam philharmonic orchestra, you have shown us exactly what context our current worries exist in. In the existence of this song, Rotterdam was cruelty burnt to the ground. The citizens of the Netherlands experienced unimaginable suffering, yet the song survived. Now the citizens of Rotterdam can proudly perform the music, just like the generations before them. I know coronavirus is terrifying, and it had deeply harmed my personal life. But we will survive this crisis, just like Beethoven's symphony. There will be a time when symphony halls across the world will be full again.
We never give up.

I'd had an [admittedly obvious] epiphany a year or two ago, that we are all part of eachother's 100 years. THANK YOU ALL for being part of my hundred years. We are an amazing cohort--artists, doctors, nurses, educators, custodians, garbage collectors, politicians, world leaders, librarians, criminals--we are all sharing this window of time together. I love you
Exquisite! Someone wrote that musicians are saving her sanity.
Perhaps we could use this opportunity to remind the larger population that music and the arts are essential to humanity, and that without a system where artists get paid a reasonable amount for their work (performances or recordings), the ongoing availability of quality music is seriously at risk. Pennies a month from streaming services like Spotify do not help. With increased economic stress now across the world, musicians are at even greater risk. Most of my friends who are full time musicians are faced with tremendous loss of income.
Let’s do whatever we can to support our musicians!
Bankers getting golden parachutes 🙄
Music students who used to make ends meet by busking ; I worry for them. Because (Australian) students allowance is so low.
My wife was born on a farm about 15 klicks north of Rotterdam. Her parents watched the city erupt in flames in May of 1940 and lived through five years of occupation. As we cope with this pandemic I remember the courage of my Dutch family, I draw strength from knowing that people have survived terrible times. Thank you for this beautiful gift to the world, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra.
My grandfather was also Dutch. Thank you for this reminder of my heritage.
My parents survived the occupation in Utrecht and De Bilt. My father as a young man was active with the Dutch Resistance. They met and married in 1954 and moved to the US in 1956. He is still with us at 96.
i am a simple man. I see beethoven symphony no.9 i click.
The hair on my arms gave you a standing ovation during the entire performance, concert etiquette be damned!
I hope this goes viral, the world needs this.

Do not mention the word viral...
Very moving! I did share it on Twitter as well. Enjoyed it very much, thank you Rotterdams Philharmonisch!
Charlene Taylor I just posted on Facebook
I've just emailed the link to about 60 people. I live in New York City and it's almost 1 AM. Some of my late night friends have already responded and thanked me for helping them end their day in such a beautiful way,
This actually brought me to tears. The creativity of humans with their ability to design and play musical instruments, the joy it brought me to witness the joy it brought those playing them, the ingenuity it requires to write music and perform it bringing together such magnificent beauty to behold with the ear. . What really touched me was the individuals in the orchestra coming together and offering the gift of their performance to anyone who is able to find them and listen. Thank you!
Sheri Center Me, too, and I have a firm policy against sentimentality. There’s just a sweet generosity of spirit in doing this, the choice of music delivered with such devoted mastery pushed me right over the edge. Thank you. God bless you and keep you all, all who performed and all who watched.
@@SB_McCollum Tears, yes. From NYC were there is a lot of suffereing behind the hospital doors.
Me too. tearful.
And just think, this music survived catastrophic wars and pandemics. It is such a powerful symbol of what is worth saving in our deeply flawed reality.
@@Frannie12 Hold strong, this too will pass. Love from Australia..
When I saw all the comments saying how they cried unexpectedly, I didn't think I would cry but I did. This hit me so hard, thank you so much. Music can heal.

Oh, now I notice that it was a year ago 😅😅. Well, maybe later ☺️
Happy 250th B-Day, Ludwig.
Musicians are saving my sanity the past couple of weeks. Working from home, stressing about finances, worrying about my parents thousands of miles away... Thank you for being the medicine I so desperately needed. Much love to you all.
Musicians are physicians of the soul. I am feeling better, Doctors.
早速のご返事ありがとうございます。思わず涙が出ました。
暗いからこそ明るいニュースが、希望が持てない時こそ希望の光が欲しいのです。
心より感謝いたします。私もやっとチェロを弾く心のゆとりが持てそうです。
遠く離れた息子のフルートと共に演奏を楽しむ事にします。
Thank you! Thank you. Music is the universal language. Hello from the USA!! 🇺🇸
This is so beautiful I'm crying. If only the world would come together like this at all times. Thank you!!
Jacque Farnsworth I agree, a magical moment in a time of international crisis. I hope we emerge changed and better people because of it.
Jacque Farnsworth made me cry too!
Yes,it would be absolutely wonderful...
I'm crying too, People, this is how we can be! Make the effort.
One day, Jaque, one day :)))
My favorite: "Don't cry over anything that can't cry over you" however the beautiful sounds of music bring tears of joy and appreciation
こんな状態の中でこんな動画が観れるとか…TH-camがあって良かったです。
No he entendido nada jjaj
No concert, no lesson, no future musical event will ever be more important or as powerfull as these last 4 minutes. Thank you for sending such an uplifting message in such tumultuous times. God Bless.
You are so right, Joe. Now I know where I got my love for this music. My cousin Richard. I remember being so envious of the piano in my Aunt Anne's house.
To all of you: You made our day. We hope the outcome of this situation will be the reconsideration of what we want from life and who we are. Kisses from Tehran, Iran.
Thank you Hi Tehran Hostel for those wise words. Heartfelt greetings from New Zealand. Beethoven's Joy is our joy too.
Hi, Hi Tehran Hostel,
My dream is that we come out of this confinement a more united world, including all our fellow citizens in Iran, Korea, Cuba...
I hope one day to visit your hostel in Tehran, in kinder, more enlightened times.
Thank you Copenhagen Philharmonic for spreading such Joy.
Rotterdam - not Copenhagen... Apologies.
Salaam to Tehran Hostel from Hamburg! As an American who was lucky enough to visit Iran in 2018, I wish both our countries' current governments would watch this video and realize what is really important. Looking forward to my next trip to Iran some day! Take care.
Indeed. Peace and health for all, including Mother Earth. Kisses from Texas.
Oh My Gosh....I don't know if I'm crying because the music was so beautiful or because I'm seeing how the world is coming together like never before. Showing love, compassion, empathy and passion like never before. It is a crying shame that we have to have a pandemic for us to show and share so many beautiful things. God Bless you all during these trying times.
Great work, thanks !
How many times have I heard this tune, but never got goosebumps like this before. What a beautiful orchestra of pure joy and unity. This video teaches the world to be in harmony, to stay strong and united. Let us heal from all the fear and sorrow, loss and despair. Dearest artists, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless us all.
Love from Calgary, Canada.

I imagine Maestro Ludwig is smiling. Super effort by the musicians and the engineering team!
Fabulous. Excuse me while I just get something out of my eye...
So beautiful; and so needed to keep us going until we can keep going strong as we were. G-d bless all the musicians, and all the world who is suffering from this horrific Pandemic. With the hope of the vaccines that have been worked on nonstop, developing for months already, we shall overcome the horrors that we have worked so hard to not allow it to destroy more than it already has. Yes, we have all been at war to survive. We must not allow for evil to cause suffering any longer; and be thankful for those who brought us thru it, with the least possible way to destroy further....
Just thank you... Merci... Danke... Grazie... Gracias ❤️❤️❤️
I put my tablet on my stomach and felt the music through my whole body and soul. Thank you for this gift. I cried tears of joy. The world has slowed down so we can enjoy each moment. Judy
my teacher made the whole fifth grade watch this, i am a student and I loved it :)
心がすさんでたけど、豊かになりました。
Thank you. Thank you. Just beautiful!
I sing in a Choral Society and performed Beethoven's 9th. recently, so this performance brought me to tears, specially now since we had to stop our rehearsals and cancel our upcoming spring concert. I hope that in the near future after this health crisis is over all people will be able to once again sing an "ode to Joy" Thank you for this beautiful gift of music and brotherhood in the midst of sad times indeed.
Mary, ditto --- my husband and I sing in a Community Chorus and SHOULD be performing Beethoven's 9th with our symphony this Saturday! We are so sad that we can't do it and it is all cancelled... Thank TH-cam, FaceBook and Skype that we can be with each other this way...!!!
Brought me to tears too x
Yes. I sing in a community chorus and last week was our last rehearsal until this is all over. It was so uplifting to go each week and practice the songs we planned to sing at local assisted living places this quarter and now we can't sing together at all. This music has lifted my husband's and my hearts today. Thank you.
please don't cry, try to smile
The world is a better place because of music and creativity all over the world! I thank you, profoundly! And now, excuse me while I get some Kleenex.
Music is the universal language that we all understand
My wife played this for me at the breakfast table this morning. About thirty seconds in, it was all I could do to not begin weeping. Not because the music was so beautiful, but as each sequestered musician
appeared on the screen I thought about all the dedication, all the blood sweat and tears, all the sacrifices each one of them has made. I thought about their desire, compulsion, thirst, and lust to make music with other musicians. I thought, what if there was never again any live music, where people congregate, gather and come together to become an AUDIENCE and clap and smile and cry and dance and turn to the stranger sitting next to them with that knowing smile that we, WE, are sharing something really special together. Never in my entire life have I felt so strong about MUSIC. MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. I think of all my wonderful friends, my best friends, my most cherished friends and we all became friends through our love of music. It's like it's the core of our friendship. I will someday hear live music again with kindred spirits on my right, my left, in front and behind me and I know when I hear that first note I will weep.
I wish they'd pin this comment.
Beautifully expressed Adam
Your message moved me deeply. Thank you

Hope Will See Them More and more and Soon. BIG LOVE AND HUGS 👍 💞💕💛🙏🙏
Twenty years, or so, ago a musician friend joked about session musicians "phoning in their parts". Now, it seems, it is literally possible. Well done! Musically and from a sound engineering standpoint.
Thank you, Beethoven. Thank you, Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest.
What song is this
@@zxechs Beethoven's Ode to Joy :-)
@@laurie48fox thank you :)
THANK YOU! From some random Australian. I was standing up and dancing (badly) and applauding
and singing (badly)
yes and yes, but the Ode itself is by Schiller :) without the lyrics Ludwig would not have blessed us with his masterpiece.
Hello from a proud Canadian grown from Dutch Roots.
This . . . Is how we all need to be. Apart yet uniting for a single cause. Beautiful!
Music is life. In my darkest moments it has never failed me. It never will. Love our musicians-they save lives, they sustain lives, they give life itself.
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Fantastisch!!!!
Zo moet het zijn
Unity of people is all we need right now.
Danke! Thank you! Merci! Gracias!

I did too. Beautiful. ❤

Same here!
Me too.
Yes, tears of hope, to be sure.
*sniff* - LOVED THIS. OK I completely lost it when the choir came in. Tears and everything.

So beautiful! Be strong world, we will win!
Wederom weer geroerd door jullie te zien en te horen
I am amazed at how a group of passionate people could overcome physical boundaries and be able to combine their talents to cheer up the world with music of peace and hope.
There are no words, only tears of such depth I can't explain. On point Ode to Joy, on point.
Thank you, so very beautiful, God Bless and keep you all well
groundhoglxi1 these are wonderful, talented people lifting spirits everywhere!
Me, too. Just sobbing...
I dont speak your language but am sure beautiful music is universal. Thank all of you for giving me a great time.
You can put on the automatic subtitles, then you can read in english!
Thank you for reminding us of the beauty that is inside us
I'm weeping. To Ode To Joy. My God, people can be so good. And music goes beyond everything-- all barriers gone. Thank you so much for this you beautiful people!
Bravo! This deserves more publicity than that attrocious rendition of Imagine by those Hollywood celebrities in self isolation.
Could never figure out why Hollywood celebs think they're so "all-knowing" and important....they're just like the rest of us but with more in the bank, perhaps, and overinflated egos!
Thank you! Gracias! Danke! Grazie! Merci!
Thank you. Thank you a million times over!
It made me cry. The world definitely needs this.
Me too!! No idea why it hit me so hard but the music was so lovely
I wept too. I must have needed this more than I realized.
I think we’d all love to read how this was made. I basically don’t care if it’s synced playback to an existing recording, or separate recordings mixed together with prerecorded choir added, or a joint ‘live’ performance with choir added… I can hardly imagine the latter is technically possible, and if it’s the second option, it’s a truly remarkable feat of sound mastering! But even if it’s the first (playback), I admire the idea and applaud the musicians! Meanwhile, I’m just (professionally) curious to know how it was made and hope to learn from it!
It sounded like separate recordings mixed together but at the end its another (maybe previously recorded) recording of the orchestra with the choir cause I can hear some percussion on it. Quality sounds amazing tho.
John/Max......couldn’t agree more. I found a couple of services/apps that do this (one called JamKazam) and I am trying it our next week with some symphony friends of mine. Thanks and post here if you find out the answer.
Our little recorder consort has been trying to figure out a way of playing together online, live, but everything we've tried so far produces a noticeable delay. I guess if we all recorded our parts separately and someone mixed them at the end, it would work, but what we really miss is the fun of playing together, so I'd be interested to know if there's a good way of achieveing this.
@Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest, anyone?
I asked the same question. Could possibly be a preexisting arrangement that was recorded live ?
Just unspeakably beautiful. We love you all. Warmest greetings from the U.S.
Fantastic and beautiful.whole world frontliner fight the virus to make us an batter life,joyful and happiness...never give up and stay at home...greetings from Malaysia.🇲🇾

Thank you for bringing beauty into the world. There is hope.
"Alle Menschen werden Brüder..." what a wonderful mind....
Crying every time I hear it. Thank you so much all of you, brothers and sisters from the orchestra!
Beauty from ashes. Thank you! Showing my children this as part of our learn from home curriculum, so that they remember this as a time the world was united.
When the chorus came in, I picture we, the viewers, as the voices!
Thank you from a bass player in the US.
Thank you so much for the light you provide in the darkness.
Thank you to our friends in the Netherlands who ALWAYS seem to get it right.
Thank you. I am not an emotional person and I have been slowly trying to understand how the world is changing due to COVID-19. This touched my heart and soul. I cried for the beauty of the music and for the world.
I'm a Taiwanese, it makes me so emotional.Even though some countries don't know Taiwan, even consider Taiwan is a part of China that never mind for us...
Because we are people in this world and we are family of the earth!
Let's cheer up, it's gonna be alright
I was always taught at school that Taiwan is its own country and not a part of china.. (I'm dutch)
Taiwan is a country in its own right. Do not let the bulldozer that is China, take it away.
