Beethoven accepted the commission to write a new symphony for the Philharmonic Society of London; in a letter he wrote to Ferdinand Ries on 20 December 1822, ‘Even though the fee to be paid by the English cannot be compared with the fees paid by other nations’. The work was completed by February 1824 and, according to Beethoven’s correspondence, the copying of the parts and several scores was in progress by April 1824. The Ninth Symphony was first performed at a benefit concert in Vienna at the Kärntnertortheater on 7 May 1824 and repeated on 23 May 1824, receiving a tumultuous reception.
The score was sent to Mr Neate of the Philharmonic Society, London, in December 1824. Beethoven gave some hints on rehearsal: ‘You must have limited rehearsals, perhaps four parts at a time; for this is the only way to study such a work well; above all the choruses must be well practised!’ He also mentioned that there were still some errors in the score. The Symphony was first performed in England at a Philharmonic Society concert on 21 March 1825, which was held at the New Argyll Rooms and was conducted by Sir George Smart. He was very anxious about the performance and had previously urged the Society to induce Beethoven to come to London to conduct the work himself.
In the event, the composer’s deteriorating health prevented his coming and Smart had to do the best he could. He wrote, ‘I candidly own that I do not understand his [Beethoven’s] meaning as to the style of the Recitative for the Basses-perhaps it should be played faster’. Similar discussions about the complexity of the work must have taken place, as they still do today. The Symphony was published by Schott of Mainz in August 1826, with a dedication to Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia. On 18 March 1827, just eight days before his death, Beethoven sent a letter (in Schindler’s hand) thanking the Philharmonic Society for their generous donation of £100 which they had sent in order that it might ‘be applied to his comforts and necessities during his illness’. He enclosed in this letter a list of metronome markings relating to the Ninth Symphony.

Beethoven's birthday is in a real sense the birth of the Romantic/Modern era of music. The artist as human being with all his struggles and triumphs takes center stage. No longer the special offering of church and crown, Ludwig brings music to the common man - that's what the humble march in the fourth movement represents - gathering all the human 'brothers (and sisters)' under God's heaven. What magnificent! militancy!
What a beautiful ancient musical brass instrument sounds !
Its been an adventure! Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen. You know who you are!
Happy birthday to us Beethoven
What a ride! Please, Please, Please consider bringing these out on DVD!
Wow Beethoven 9 Symphony played with passion and sung for all humanity to stop fighting and be happy and be friends.
I have now completed the symphony cycle of the greatest music known to man played by superb musicians and singers have given me a new appreciation and listening of these iconic pieces of music. Thank you Hanover Band!
Just one thought, what am I going to watch next Wednesday 😮
It was a total privelidge to be part of the film crew and to work with such wonderful people on this amazing project. The music, the locations and the players, it all came together. Well done to all.
This symphony has been a witness of the history. The wonderful performance of the finale has the imprint of the year 2020.
A stunning finale to a project which it has been an absolute pleasure and privilege for us to be part of! Bravo Hanover Band 👏
Thank you for all your hard work in producing such a stunning film for us!
Did you do the audio as well? Because this project has some of the best audio engineering I've heard in TH-cam classical music.
@@philipmcniel4908 we had the excellent Floating Earth recording the audio for this project - glad you are enjoying it!

the all-time very best because most empathetic and subtle but powerful differentiating presentation of this very post-modern masterpiece of Beethoven - check out the end of the chorus passage with the complete deconstruction of the themes build up before ...
Truly beautiful and moving. Thank you for opening the world at a time it has been closed down in sadness
splendida BEETHOVEN SAREBBE ORGOGLIOSO DI VOI!
An utterly wonderful performance which moved me to tears. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all of the musicians, to the production team, and to Sir Mark Elder.
CORDIAL SALUDO DESDE LIMA-PERU Y MI MAS CORDIAL FELICITACION POR TAN EXCELENTE VERSION DE LA BANDA HANNOVER BAJO LA DIRECCION DEL MAESTRO SIR MARK ELDER.
MAGNIFICO TRIBUTO. VIVA BEETHOVEN ¡¡¡.
After a very tricky year for all, it’s really refreshing to go to such a great gig. And the piece is so incredibly apt: somehow transforming the darkness into light. A real privilege. Thank you for a wonderful performance and a generous, most welcome gift to us all.
🇹🇷😍 Zorlu seneden sonra mükafat ı mız çok güzel...
Absolutely magnificent! Thank you so much everyone for your hard work. Incredible from start to finish.
Thanks a lot to The Hanover Band for keeping alive the flame inflamed for the master! I enjoy this jewel
Un'esecuzione splendida, di rara bellezza e storicamente informata, dovrebbe essere in cima alle visualizzazioni di youtube
Nothing more amazing than to listen to a great rendition with original instruments and done as in Beethoven’s times. Kudos to the technical team and to everyone involved. Thanks heavens for technology that allowed this integration of digital production.
Great great job!!! Thanks for putting those magnificent works at our disposal! 🙏❤️
Bravo
Brilliant
Bravo! Hail Beethoven!
Thank-you so much for this!! 9 wonderful performances!!
The first mvt is a favourite of mine and this performance was so enjoyable. The darkest moments in it are so satisfying. This is the only Symphony that I care little about the other movements.
i : 9:50
ii : 26:27
What a wonderful performance, kudos and shoutout to the camera man
Some of us are women :) It was as always a great team effort by everyone behind the cameras.
@@blackswanfilmvideo i didn't refer to gender here a cameraman sounds more legit than camerawoman or camerawomen
@@venkatadurvasula6379 the correct terms are 'camera crew' or 'camera operators'.
참 좋습니다!
BRAVO, wow contrabassoon in period instrument! it's first time to see that. Are the cymbals and bass drum also?
Belíssima!
Felicidades a toda la orquesta, equipo y su director Sir Mark Elder; extraordinario performance y grandísimo esfuerzo.
En estos momentos, la música, y en especial la clásica, nos ayuda a todos a mantener el espíritu alto, y con el Sr. Beethoven, como el máximo representante de lucha ante las adversidades, nos anima a todos a perseverar y vencer sin duda alguna a todo lo que se nos ponga por delante!!
Viva la Hanover Band y viva Beethoven!!
Great performance 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Is that a square triangle at 1:04:15 ?
Wonderful performance but please consider using some other medium than Vimeo in future. Takes at least 10 minutes every time to get it to cast from phone to tv. In the autumn we had to give up unseen a whole series of other concerts we'd paid for because we couldn't get them to cast.
It is also available to watch in TH-cam. If you TV has this facility, it is usually instant.

Sounds great, why the headphones tho.
🇹🇷😍🤗

"... probably his most ambitious symphony *to date*!" 😂😂😂
Yaşlanmak moral bozmuyor....Yeterki kendini verebildiği n uğraşın olsun..
Well done, whan the timpani comes in it is always too loud.
Well, it's a loud instrument.
A = ??Hz
A little flat, but I like!
