this is one of the most relaxing songs i know, nice for meditation, or just some relaxing after a long day. i think it's Performed by the London Festival Orchestra with Sylvia Capova (she plays piano..?)
Well it is wonderful, isn't it? But I would suggest Eric Korngold's violin concerto mvt. 2 with Pearlman playing might be better? Beethoven was a genius and the musical world could not have achieved what it did without him. However, listen to Korngold and tell me he was not also a genius.

i beg to differ.................Mozarts Piano Concerto in D Minor Considering Beethoven was a student of Mozart......this is worth the listen and you will hear similarities
There are many performances of this beautiful piece. I strongly suggest you explore them. One, just one, will make your soul truly thrum with glory and delight..
I remember waaay back when I was a college freshman, studying for a chemistry exam (?), and I had the radio on a classical station when this mvt came up....At most a minuet later all idea of study was GONE. All I could do was listen. I'll never forget that moment. It's been about 50 years.
Same, I’m currently a college freshman and I was studying for a biology test and decided to listen to some classical (bc I love classical). By 0:39 I was completely focused on the music and forgot everything I studied. This piece is just so emotional
@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven I rank the opening piano play, as simple as the chords are, perhaps the most beautiful sound as any I have ever heard in my long life of listening to the classics. Beethoven's compositions will live as long as men (and women) are on earth. This particular piece is my favorite. It should be an inspiration to all who love great music.
"When everything else is lost, and you really think you're alone, which happens to us often, you're never really alone if you listen to Beethoven" - Alfredo Guevara
This is my favorite piece of music ever. I can not explain the beauty in this. It's tragedy, hope and peace all in one. And I still have not given it justice.
Yes, my favourite piece of music also. The first time I heard it I was screaming silently into my pillow during a spell of severe clinical depression unable to feel any emotion at all, only pain, not able to walk, talk, eat or do anything except listen to the radio. This beautiful music came to me over the airwaves, and it made me cry, and in so doing it kick-started my recovery. I will always love it.
Hi Carl-so sorry to read your comment. Your country is great Sir-well that’s what my husband and I think for what it’s worth. The past is the past. We all have the same blood running through our veins.
Music like this reminds of the true genius of this world past and present. When setting aside the stupidity of humanity, many things we have done and created are truly beautiful
What I love the most about Beethoven’s music is no matter how dark it may get, and no matter how much struggle it may have, there is always the fighting spirit and strength that leads to the light and the joy it brings to you moves you to tears.
The majority of time when I read comments on different genres of music, be it Rock, Metal, Rap, whatever, there are at least a handful of nasty, hateful comments. When I read the comments on classical music, they make me feel loved. Thank you kind souls.
Yes because the rest are not music... They are noise! Metal can only produce metalic noisy sounds... Rap is also noise from human beings talking abnormally.... Rock can also only make rocky sounds... Classical music is living!

Perfect. When you die, If there is a heaven, this is the soundtrack as you walk through the pearly gates and see all your loved ones again. Absolutely beautiful.
0:04 The gates of heaven are opened. 0:15 You're happy that you finally make it to heaven. 0:28 You recall your past life and then you start looking for your loved ones in heaven and you asked yourself, 0:40 "where are they?". 1:20 You keep walking through heaven looking for them and you finally find them. 1:38 They greet you with the sweetest smiles after not seeing you for such a long time. 1:55 Your another loved ones greet you. 2:11 They console you and tell you how much they've been missing you, they also apologize for every mistakes they've done to you in the past life and It was so sweet even God is smiling. 2:38 God shows all his people in heaven the most beautiful thing he's ever created. 4:37 You think about all the things you can do in heaven and the thoughts of it make you happier and happier, 5:25 but you realize that you now have your family and all the people you love and that's good enough for you so you're grateful for everything. 6:56 You're enjoying your life in heaven. 9:07 You live happily ever after, the end.
This music is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. I could feel Beethoven's hope during times of loneliness expressed in every note of the piano. For I, too, have felt such loneliness.
"No friend have I. I must live by myself alone; but I know well that God is nearer to me than others in my art, so I will walk fearlessly with Him." -Beethoven
Beethoven's problem was...it wasn't "God" or whatsoever walking with him. It was his own inconceivable mental and emotional chaos torturing him, due to the miserable childhood his abusing father gave him. Beethoven was a troubled, unloved, embittered soul seeking for redemption through music. That, he probably achieved post mortem.
How can someone not be moved to tears listening to this piece? Music that brings tears not of pain, but tears that soothe and calm the suffering soul with infinite and unconditional love, embracing one with such beauty and intentness and with such loving power that one forgets one's self.
+Sarah Lynn Thank you for your kind words. I know there are many people like you out there who can feel the music in their hearts and emerge transformed. Indeed, it was Beethoven who once said "those who understand my music must be freed by it from all the miseries which the others drag about with themselves."
I agree. It just burns through the soul completely and cannot be beaten, although I really like Prokofiev Concerto 2 mov 1 when it almost reaches the end of the first movement and the cadenza kicks in. It's brilliant and so strong. The section your referring to is the most beautiful, and could possibly be the greatest 30 seconds in music history. Although other 30 seconds of music, such as variation 18 of Rachmaninoff/Paganini rhapsody on a theme hits me harder with emotion than this and variation 11 of liszt/paganini etude 6 is beyond the definition of epic, this just is simply the best.
The difference between Beethoven and Mozart is that while Mozart helped you hear the complexities of music, Beethoven helped you FEEL them. Beethoven was able to construct melody upon melody and build themes unlike Mozart was able to. Mozart had some of the most developed and ingenious pieces ever put to writing, however Beethoven’s thematic prowess is unmatched. In my humble opinion, Ludwig van Beethoven was and always will be the single greatest musical mind that ever walked the Earth.
@@bed1g149 what the flying fuck....comparing some classical music with shitty rapper..i better of saying bts is better,and im not even fan, but their shit is good..at least better than 6ix whatever..
The adagio of the Emperor is not only relaxing. It is BEAUTIFUL. I cry always, at the very second note of the piano. I told my daughter I want it played in my funeral.
Andrew Francisco you’re right in so many ways Jesus is LORD indeed. No question if or buts about it. If God can use a donkey to convey his message.

+Ricardo Lourizela It's like those notes are floating through every part of my body. It is such an amazing feeling. i love this part. First of all the first few notes..so simple yet so moving.
The adagio is the melody which fades in and out throughout the atmospheric 70s Australian movie 'Picnic at Hanging Rock'. The piano sequence is definitely a really haunting piece of music.
We played this when my mom was burried on 8 Jan this year..she loved Beethoven so...still cry when I listen to it...but somehow it also brings peace of mind.
Beethoven ist der genialste deutsche Komponist, den es jemals gegeben hat! In seinem gesundheitlichen Schicksal ist er über sich hinausgewachsen! Er hat uns so viel schöne Musik geschenkt, die wir pflegen müssen!!
+Ander de la Fuente That's an interesting way of saying it, I was thinking the same thing in different words. This music prevents me from giving up on humanity, if we are capable of creating such beauty, there might be hope for us yet.
+Christopher Sharp Haha, actually... Beethoven wrote the Emperor concerto while being attacked by Napolean's army. He had to hide in a basement and composed this masterpiece under such scary circumstances, which is really remarkable when you think about it. His hearing was deteriorating and those canons weren't doing him any favours, so he was frightened that he would be completely deaf at the end of the siege. Something remarkable also happened to Beethoven that he obviously had in mind while composing the second movement... true love, yay! His 'Immortal Beloved' showed up in his life around this time, and you can hear the love in this music from it. :) Sooo Romanitc!!!
+Christopher Sharp While I get what you're saying and agree that a masterpiece like this is beyond words, you cannot disregard the fact that the act of listening to this music may physically relax the muscles in certain people. Perhaps try not to lose sight of the literal implications when an adjective like this is used to describe music. Nothing to get frustrated over. For me, very "relaxing" ;)
I love this music so badly I can even describe it. No music even my favorites of all time compare to this. This is the absolute essence of my soul and for the ones who believe I can even imagine that came from a different life time of mine because it touches me so much in ways that I can't use words for you to understand. That's the music I wish was playing my entire life, that's the music I wish someone was playing while I was born, I wish was playing in the birth of my sons and even when on the last minutes of my cerebral activity, just after I died, I wish it was the one soundtrack for all my life to pass me by my eyes That's how much I adore this music
For my special friend who died yesterday. A few months ago, he gave me this music and added : "Listen ! For sure, you'll love it". I do miss him. This music is for him. Rest in peace.
I always put myself into bed with this piece at nights to help me relax and sleep. It sounds like 'a mixture of love, peace and nature' to me. I'm transported to places I could never imagine they exist.
@@karmallama4686 Mozart was a genius, it is undeniable. His piano concertos and sonatas are incredibly well structured. Beethoven followed a more classic strucure in some concertos but knew perfectly how to bring back the same melody in different forms. I cannot say who is a better compositer but you cannot say that Mozart was far less talented than Beethoven. He created the perfect balance between the piano solo and the orchestra in a piano concerto which was causing trouble to compositers before him. Both are genius and both are to be respected.
Gentle, peaceful, powerful and sublime all in one . Always touches and uplifts the heart. Tears of immence joy swells up inside and overflows giving hope and inner calmness at the same time. A masterpiece. Thank you Master Beethoven and Thank you God for permiting us to hear such wonder.
Thank you for saying it all . For me , Beethoven is the only composer who can compose a piece that is peaceful , delightful yet full of passion and powerful .
"I would have ended my life, only music withheld me back. It's seemingly impossible for me leave the world before I have produced all that I felt called upon me to produce. I shall seize fate by the throat. It shall not wholly overcome or crush me." Heiligenstadt Testament, Ludwig Van BEETHOVEN, 1802.
Esta música me hace pensar en la tierra, en el agua, en el aire que respiro, en mi mano que se mueve, en mis ojos que ven, EN QUE ESTOY VIVO. YA ALGUN DIA ESTARE EN PAZ, ya sentiré calma , ya seré feliz, pero si no, si nunca llegó a sentir algo parecido a la paz de mi alma, a estar calmo y tranquilo, AL MENOS SABRE QUE LO INTENTE, CADA SEGUNDO, CADA DIA. Gracias Beetho!!!!
Rafe Lopez Don’t thank God, thank Beethoven, thank the people who play it for all to hear and thank yourselves for keeping this music alive and popular.
Que maravilla! Música celestial! Debo confesar que disfruto más de sus conciertos que de sus sinfonías. Una delicia! Dios tenga en su gloria al genio de Bonn!
My introduction to this beauty was only six years ago, but I'm certain I will carry it in my heart for the rest of my life. This piece takes me to a place I can only imagine Nirvana to be. I get lost in an emotional grasp, and don't ever want to be found. My soul takes a journey through love, light, passion and refuge. For my Immortal Beloved.....
Oh my God, can anything possibly be this serene and wondrously beautiful. Beethoven you were truly beyond angelic, beyond heaven with this. I am so moved and in tears.
This is my all.time favourite piece of music ever . This music moves the soul . I listen to regularly at least 4 times a week . What a bloody genius Beethoven was. My favourite composer . What a genius he was . This music moves me to tears 😢😍
EINVERSTANDEN :-)...auf einem Level mit dem 2. Satz aus Mozart´s Klarinettenkonzert...pure Schönheit...beide Sätze vermitteln mir immer wieder eine innere Ruhe in hektischen Zeiten !!!
La música, como el amor, no puede expresarse sólo con palabras, se debe manifestar, si se puede, con todos los sentidos, y Beethoven supo muy bien expresar el amor a través de la música. Extraordinaria obra maestra de un compositor excepcional, único e irrepetible. El mejor, sin lugar a dudas.
The part between about :40 and 2:00 has been in several movies…. Just heard it at least 2 or 3 times the other day in “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and it’s featured in the very last scene of “The King’s Speech”. Very beautiful and elegant.
There are not words for my love of this piece of music.......I have had the privilege of standing at Beethoven's grave to pay my respects. I always brought roses but I wished I could buy a garden of roses for music that beautiful. I am not the only one that showers roses on his grave to this day! what Tor-Andre Kongelf (below) said and more...
This is quite possibly the most romantic piece ever written. I just love it... it’s relaxing and serene and the depth gently squeezes my heart and massages my brain. Le sigh.
I've read that some who have had an NDE... Say the music in the next life is even more beautiful. It's hard to imagine it to be more beautiful than this piece. But if it is, just imagine someday when we meet those great composers
www.amazon.co.uk/Piano-Concerto-E-Flat-Major-Emperor/dp/B00A2HUV14 This could be it, the video is from an mp3 i once; had yearsss ago :D (was trying to show a girl from australia this tune) They say flac is the new way :)
This helps with my anxiety at work especially. When you are in a vunerable situtation this will snap you right out of it. When you think everything is falling apart this will help relax you.
No other piece had made me cry this fast, just one and a half minutes in and I already had tears running down my face. This is one of the most beautiful adagios I've ever heard in my life. Absolutely magnificent
me too although luckily I had heard it b4 as both parents prof violinist and pianist...I just asked mum what piece it was and just so proud my parents could actually play this.
I was playing this one winter evening when the main door sounded and in came a woman softly sobbing. The sound grew clearer until into the room peered mother with news that beloved grandma died. Saying nothing, I just kept on playing, as thought the music I was drawing from the keyboard was a pain-repellent. Could not stop the fingers and so on and on I went with Ludwig Van.
+viborrr I was about 12 years old and sitting at the living room piano playing Fur Elise when I over heard my parents say that my grandad has passed. I kept playing.
+catnokimochi Thank you. We all have losses. What makes life worthwhile I guess are the gains...gifts that keep on giving, like this piece of music which will never be lost as long as there are people living.
"These are the tears of things, and the things of death touch the soul." As soon as I read "beloved grandma died," I burst into sobs, deep racking sobs. For me is now the long wait.
This is my favorite piece of all time. No music on earth will ever compare to this for me. Beethoven was a genius.
Well it is wonderful, isn't it? But I would suggest Eric Korngold's violin concerto mvt. 2 with Pearlman playing might be better?

We played this when my mom was burried on 8 Jan this year..she loved Beethoven so...still cry when I listen to it...but somehow it also brings peace of mind.
Beethoven ist der genialste deutsche Komponist, den es jemals gegeben hat! In seinem gesundheitlichen Schicksal ist er über sich hinausgewachsen! Er hat uns so viel schöne Musik geschenkt, die wir pflegen müssen!!
i think it's Performed by the
London Festival Orchestra
with Sylvia Capova (she plays piano..?)
Yes. All of that is correct.

"Relaxing" is not an appropiate term for this music. Beethoven's music reconciles me to the human race.
+Ander de la Fuente
That's an interesting way of saying it, I was thinking the same thing in different words. This music prevents me from giving up on humanity, if we are capable of creating such beauty, there might be hope for us yet.
+Christopher Sharp Haha, actually... Beethoven wrote the Emperor concerto while being attacked by Napolean's army. He had to hide in a basement and composed this masterpiece under such scary circumstances, which is really remarkable when you think about it. His hearing was deteriorating and those canons weren't doing him any favours, so he was frightened that he would be completely deaf at the end of the siege. Something remarkable also happened to Beethoven that he obviously had in mind while composing the second movement... true love, yay! His 'Immortal Beloved' showed up in his life around this time, and you can hear the love in this music from it. :) Sooo Romanitc!!!
+Christopher Sharp While I get what you're saying and agree that a masterpiece like this is beyond words, you cannot disregard the fact that the act of listening to this music may physically relax the muscles in certain people. Perhaps try not to lose sight of the literal implications when an adjective like this is used to describe music. Nothing to get frustrated over.
For me, very "relaxing" ;)
+Guido Spanjers agreed : )
with God. ;)
I've always known this piece, but after The Batman it hits different
This Adagio is as unbearably beautiful as it is unbearably sad.
Couldn't have put it better
"Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought."
Yes. Because Beethoven knew his hearing loss cannot get any better.
Agree
I have heard it today for the first time even though I hear to a lot of classical music
I love this music so badly I can even describe it. No music even my favorites of all time compare to this. This is the absolute essence of my soul and for the ones who believe I can even imagine that came from a different life time of mine because it touches me so much in ways that I can't use words for you to understand. That's the music I wish was playing my entire life, that's the music I wish someone was playing while I was born, I wish was playing in the birth of my sons and even when on the last minutes of my cerebral activity, just after I died, I wish it was the one soundtrack for all my life to pass me by my eyes
That's how much I adore this music
When loving this music so much, you must have a beautiful mind :-)
Coming back from the Batman movie but I always loved it anyway...
Now this what i call music. classic music never gets old
True
+InfiniteEIC why?
Isn't it called classical because it's old?
No. Because it´s good , very good.

Beethoven is fantastic!
For my special friend who died yesterday. A few months ago, he gave me this music and added : "Listen ! For sure, you'll love it". I do miss him. This music is for him. Rest in peace.
🌹🕯🕊🕯🌻💐🌹🕊
in the midst of a world pandemic. Thank God for beautiful music. It certainly gets me through the day!
The Batman!
The whole concerto is supreme musical artistry, but this is the best of it.
Surpassingly beautiful.
I always put myself into bed with this piece at nights to help me relax and sleep. It sounds like 'a mixture of love, peace and nature' to me. I'm transported to places I could never imagine they exist.
Try The slow movement from his 9th symphony! And, it goes on longer
Zo mooi en rustige muziek prachtig top
9:32 9:33
This is what you hear when you walk through the gates of Heaven 😇
It always strikes me listening to this, how can someone create such sublime beauty, yet fellow humans can be so violent and cruel toward each other?
your words are worth appreciation.
Beethoven is my favourite composer of all times
He is my favourite too :)
He is my favourite too :)
Mozart is better
It depends of tastes.
@@serbanalexandru1798 niemals !
Without the modern gadgets we have today, such as computers etc. Beethoven can compose something like this. What a man. Genius!
So many bang on about how great Mozart was. In my mind he didn't come close to Beethoven
@@karmallama4686 Mozart was a genius, it is undeniable. His piano concertos and sonatas are incredibly well structured. Beethoven followed a more classic strucure in some concertos but knew perfectly how to bring back the same melody in different forms. I cannot say who is a better compositer but you cannot say that Mozart was far less talented than Beethoven. He created the perfect balance between the piano solo and the orchestra in a piano concerto which was causing trouble to compositers before him. Both are genius and both are to be respected.
He didn't even have a functional ear by the time he wrote this.
It doesn't make any difference if you have such machines or not while composing.
@@karmallama4686 Nah. They are equal, maybe one of them is a bit greater, but not really.
This piece of music is undoubtedly the most beautiful Piano Concerto EVER written. Beethoven was a genius.
I agree with you. This concerto always bring tears down my cheeks…
I agree with you too. Its wonderful ans bless my soul
Jazeker het is prachtig
@@larsruben1 Russell Sherman en het Tsjechisch Philharmonic o.l.v. Vaclav Neumann.
Listening to this piece after having a chat with the most beautiful girl in the world❤️
Still makes me drift away from Earth to feel at one with the Universe.Full of calm, spirituality and love
This music evokes one sigh after another of peace. Music need not be cluttered to be oh so elegant. Thank you Beethoven.
Gentle, peaceful, powerful and sublime all in one . Always touches and uplifts the heart. Tears of immence joy swells up inside and overflows giving hope and inner calmness at the same time. A masterpiece. Thank you Master Beethoven and Thank you God for permiting us to hear such wonder.
Thank you for saying it all . For me , Beethoven is the only composer who can compose a piece that is peaceful , delightful yet full of passion and powerful .
"I would have ended my life, only music withheld me back. It's seemingly impossible for me leave the world before I have produced all that I felt called upon me to produce. I shall seize fate by the throat. It shall not wholly overcome or crush me." Heiligenstadt Testament, Ludwig Van BEETHOVEN, 1802.
My heart cries every time I hear this concerto. Beethoven, you are my immortal beloved....
I don't understand when people talk about music in complex ways I just know it makes me feel happy
The greatest. pure magic. Better than any anti depressant
Sean Carroll Yes His music may be release enough neurotransmitters to keep mood better !
Listen to this and you wont need a therapist!!!!
It's True.

Music is a drogue ;)
Esta música me hace pensar en la tierra, en el agua, en el aire que respiro, en mi mano que se mueve, en mis ojos que ven, EN QUE ESTOY VIVO. YA ALGUN DIA ESTARE EN PAZ, ya sentiré calma , ya seré feliz, pero si no, si nunca llegó a sentir algo parecido a la paz de mi alma, a estar calmo y tranquilo, AL MENOS SABRE QUE LO INTENTE, CADA SEGUNDO, CADA DIA. Gracias Beetho!!!!
Excuse me, I touched the wrong button. I liked and respect a lot your comment.
It's so beautiful…make me crying...
I ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU BEETHOVEN! CAN LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC 24 HOURS,7 DAYS A WEEK,365 DAYS, IT´S NEVER ENOUGH!!! LOVE,LOVE LOVE!
Beethoven shed tears when writing this piece but I truly believe that God and his Angles shed even more...
5:25 the sound of undefined nostalgia.
Beautifully described
This concerto of Beethoven's is one of his best works and it moves both the emotions and the spirit.
I'm here because of Batman
lol I’m here because of Cold Pursuit Awesome movie with Liam Neesome 😊
Então você é um idiota. Lamentável.
Idiot

I am crying each day so Beautiful...the voice of God...
Oui, la Voix de Dieu ! It's Divine.....
one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written
Everything begins and ends at the exactly right time and place...
yes,we live dream within a dream....

INMORTAL BEETHOVEN!! THANKS GOD FOR BEETHOVEN!!

Que maravilla! Música celestial! Debo confesar que disfruto más de sus conciertos que de sus sinfonías. Una delicia! Dios tenga en su gloria al genio de Bonn!
C’est un don que ces musiciens on reçu merci de nous le faire partager cette musique nous apporte que du bonheur rien en nous ne nous agresse merci
My introduction to this beauty was only six years ago, but I'm certain I will carry it in my heart for the rest of my life. This piece takes me to a place I can only imagine Nirvana to be. I get lost in an emotional grasp, and don't ever want to be found. My soul takes a journey through love, light, passion and refuge. For my Immortal Beloved.....
Nirvana is when your light is blown out, complete nothingness.
Oh my God, can anything possibly be this serene and wondrously beautiful. Beethoven you were truly beyond angelic, beyond heaven with this. I am so moved and in tears.
5:25 I'M MELTING
MUSIQUE FANTASTIQUE...entendue la première fois assez loin, un jeudi après midi, où j'étais collé à cause du latin...
This is my all.time favourite piece of music ever . This music moves the soul . I listen to regularly at least 4 times a week . What a bloody genius Beethoven was. My favourite composer . What a genius he was . This music moves me to tears 😢😍
And he was deaf!!!! Unbelievable.
Beethoven and others like Bach, Pachebel etc changed the World!!!
Film from Agneshka Holland " Copying Beethoven" need to see !
Eines der besten Musik-Stücke der Menschheitsgeschichte!!! Soooooo schön!
JaWasIstDennDas?94 Einverstanden!!!
Auf jeden Fall ist dies höchstwahrscheinlich ein Musikstūck, das zum allerbesten gehört, was von einem Menschen je komponiert wurde...
@@louismaitre288 Naja. Das ist dann aber ein weiter Kreis.
EINVERSTANDEN :-)...auf einem Level mit dem 2. Satz aus Mozart´s Klarinettenkonzert...pure Schönheit...beide Sätze vermitteln mir immer wieder eine innere Ruhe in hektischen Zeiten !!!
I really think it deserves way more than 3 150 356 viewers. what a masterpiece!!Am really carried away especially with this tune 5:34
That 5:34 part is really underrated
It has now 7,7 million views
I read that this was the only piece that made Beethoven cry, while composing.
Please. No not at all. He cried most while he was writing his late quartets. There's actual evidence for that.
Please share the evidence with me.
pls listen to Ludovico Einaudi - Devinire :) its some kind of great music too
La música, como el amor, no puede expresarse sólo con palabras, se debe manifestar, si se puede, con todos los sentidos, y Beethoven supo muy bien expresar el amor a través de la música. Extraordinaria obra maestra de un compositor excepcional, único e irrepetible. El mejor, sin lugar a dudas.
No digas el mejos, sino uno de los mejores; Chopin es excepcional, Mozart es extraordinario.
My soul composer ! Trough him God showed his magnification , to be deaf and to hear with such a beautiful heart !
Es tan hermoso escuchar estas notas musicales, que al fin no tiene explicación. El mayor de todos los genios Beethoven.
What a splendid version, I like the slower tempo. Almost had an out of body experience listening to this.
Russell Sherman ( 1930 - 2023 ) with Czech Philharmonic and Vaclav Neumann
The part between about :40 and 2:00 has been in several movies…. Just heard it at least 2 or 3 times the other day in “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and it’s featured in the very last scene of “The King’s Speech”. Very beautiful and elegant.
And in The Batman 2022
My favorite version. Perfect tempo.
Before listening to this I was on the verge of throwing a bit of a wobbler over something work related....but I'm happy now! :-)
There are not words for my love of this piece of music.......I have had the privilege of standing at Beethoven's grave to pay my respects. I always brought roses but I wished I could buy a garden of roses for music that beautiful. I am not the only one that showers roses on his grave to this day! what Tor-Andre Kongelf (below) said and more...
yeah.. barff to shite talk lke this too... Just enjoy or not Sara :)
@@carlmast8983 Why is this relevant?
This is quite possibly the most romantic piece ever written. I just love it... it’s relaxing and serene and the depth gently squeezes my heart and massages my brain. Le sigh.
I've read that some who have had an NDE... Say the music in the next life is even more beautiful. It's hard to imagine it to be more beautiful than this piece. But if it is, just imagine someday when we meet those great composers
We won't meet any of them and there is no music after we die, you will be as aware as you were before you were born, so enjoy this incredible art now
sorry about that couldn't reply or something so i got grumpy and deleted it, man youtube is getting worse and worse :((
+ibakaya where can i find this recording

This could be it, the video is from an mp3 i once; had yearsss ago :D
(was trying to show a girl from australia this tune)
They say flac is the new way :)
haha so you uploaded this to TH-cam to show a girl and now it has 3M plays?
hai, i guess that´s how rome was build.
hi bakaya
Fantastic! Magic! Sublim! The charming sounds
of piano and orchestra!
This helps with my anxiety at work especially. When you are in a vunerable situtation this will snap you right out of it. When you think everything is falling apart this will help relax you.
No other piece had made me cry this fast, just one and a half minutes in and I already had tears running down my face. This is one of the most beautiful adagios I've ever heard in my life. Absolutely magnificent
Cavalleria Rusticana--Intermezzo?
Mozart A-major piano concerto No 23 -second movement?
Handel's Largo from Xerxes?
This was used in the movie “Picnic at Hanging Rock”. First time I had heard it way back then. It never ceases to move me.
Also famous from Art School Confidential. Picnic At Hanging Rock is such a great film though
me too although luckily I had heard it b4 as both parents prof violinist and pianist...I just asked mum what piece it was and just so proud my parents could actually play this.
I was playing this one winter evening when the main door sounded and in came a woman softly sobbing. The sound grew clearer until into the room peered mother with news that beloved grandma died. Saying nothing, I just kept on playing, as thought the music I was drawing from the keyboard was a pain-repellent. Could not stop the fingers and so on and on I went with Ludwig Van.
+viborrr I was about 12 years old and sitting at the living room piano playing Fur Elise when I over heard my parents say that my grandad has passed. I kept playing.
+viborrr I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
+catnokimochi Thank you. We all have losses. What makes life worthwhile I guess are the gains...gifts that keep on giving, like this piece of music which will never be lost as long as there are people living.
"These are the tears of things, and the things of death touch the soul." As soon as I read "beloved grandma died," I burst into sobs, deep racking sobs. For me is now the long wait.
And what a lovely way to say goodbye to a beloved one.
