What is your Favorite part of Beethoven's Ninth?

For me it would have to be the 3rd Movement. (Adagio molto e cantabile)

I'd suffice to say it's the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.

So, what's yours?

[The_Ox]

/Bump.

Anyone?

Pretty much everything up until the vocal parts start.It just seems so perfect until then.

Karajan is fantastic! Be sure to check part 2 if you've never seen/heard this version.

Indeed I have!, It's actually my favorite version.

The soloists and the choir are especially awesome on the Karajan version(s) - him and the Berlin Philharmonic go together perfectly.

^Cool,ignore my PM then.

I am working on getting into the vocal parts(already familiar with parts of it),but I am still getting aquainted with the whole piece.A MASSIVE work!

I don't like any of it, he stole the whole thing from Handel.

The entire first movement. Recording: Solti/Chicago

The music is amazing but writing the piece completely deaf just boggles my mind.
