Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
It may have sounded good for the people right in the center, but sound travels at 300 meters per second so the guys on one side of the stadium would have heard some really confusing sound coming from the other. The sound would have been significantly delayed. As a poster said below, it must have been a nightmare to coordinate as you can't do it by sound.
I wonder what Beethoven would have thought about this if he saw 200 years into the future.
It's REALLY strange to see (actually it's hear, but I wouldn't be able to tell that they're japanese just by listening to them) 10,000 Japanese sing in my language.
By the way, this truly is a great piece. Music by Beethoven, lyrics by Friedrich Schiller. Two of the greatest Germans.
Coordinating something like that is simply amazing.
Hurrah! At the risk of sounding a hyperbolic, I've actually come to hold the belief that this piece needs to be heard by every person on the planet. (Sorry, deaf people.) Alle Menschen werden Brüder - all humans become brothers. This is how it should be, and how it's never been, and Schiller hit the fucking nail on the head. They might not understand these words, but their hearts will be moved enough to improve the world on a larger scale.
I wonder how much rehearsal they had before. They would have to have rented out that stadium several times. Who funded this? The performers themselves?
Thanks for posting this. Ten minutes in I heard my neighbors start fighting through the paper thin walls of my apartment complex. Blasting the volume to 11 felt ever so satisfying.
This is stunning.
The Japanese have had a serious love of Beethoven's 9th since World War 1. Here is a link which I found with a Google search for japan and Beethoven's 9th. History is COOL!
