THE BOSS BEETHOVEN..
Again, thank you so much for all your work, the beautiful video, sound quality, and most of all translation!
A proud Texas Grandma!
äische Nationalhymne?
btw, without beethoven there would be no jay-z today.
´ve never really listened to Beethoven. Do it and get overwhelmed! And now something to think about: Guess why people still listen to Beethoven but in a hundred years Nas will be but a name that appears in the long index of "rap artists of the 20th century"?
öner Götterfunken" ist die europäische Nationalhymne (ab 3Min44).
And it is violence to humanity mentioning rap in the context of classical music!
öner"-choir it feels like they slow it down even more. But in the whole - a great performance.
I can't even put in to words what it does to
my heart.
