TheWiseMonkey89's video: Karl B hm: Beethoven - Symphony No 9 in D minor Ode to Joy Op 125

Karl August Leopold Böhm (28 August 1894 in Graz – 14 August 1981 in Salzburg) was an Austrian conductor. Particularly gifted in his interpretations of Wagner and Mozart, he is widely considered to be one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Böhm Lyrics & English Translation Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly, thy sanctuary! Your magics join again What custom strictly divided;* All people become brothers,* Where your gentle wing abides. Who has succeeded in the great attempt, To be a friend's friend, Whoever has won a lovely woman, Add his to the jubilation! Indeed, who calls at least one soul Theirs upon this world! And whoever never managed, shall steal himself Weeping away from this union. All creatures drink of joy At nature's breast. Just and unjust Alike taste of her gift; She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine, A tried friend to the end. [Even] the worm has been granted sensuality, And the cherub stands before God! Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly On their courses through the heavens, Thus, brothers, you should run your race, As a hero going to conquest. You millions, I embrace you. This kiss is for all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving Father. Do you fall in worship, you millions? World, do you know your creator? Seek him in the heavens; Above the stars must He dwell. A link to this wonderful artists personal website: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/karl-böhm-mn0000182286/discography Please Enjoy!
