Beethoven: Symphony No 9 in D minor
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
This is my favorite classical music composition ever. This performance is delivered with precision and passion by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra:
Symphony No 9 in D minor, Op 125 “Choral”
Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven
(1770, Bonn, Germany — 1827, Vienna, Austria)
Beethoven is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived. His 9th Symphony combines the worlds of vocal and instrumental music in a manner never before attempted. His personal life was marked by a heroic struggle against encroaching deafness, and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life when he was quite unable to hear.

The film “Zorba The Greek“, based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis (1883 –1957), was nominated for seven and won three Academy Awards in 1964.
QUOTES FROM THE FILM:
“You’ve got everthing except one thing: madness! A man needs a little madness, or else he never dares cut the rope and be free. “
“Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and *look* for trouble.”
“On a deaf man’s door, you can knock forever!”
“God has a very big heart but there is one sin he will not forgive: if a woman calls a man to her bed and he will not go. I know because a very wise old Turk told me.”
“Am I not a man? And is a man not stupid? I’m a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe.”
“You think too much.That is your trouble.Clever people and grocers, they weigh everything. “
“If a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men. “
