As a classically trained musician myself, it even took me a while to realize what I'm going to say:
We tend to think of classical music as traditional and old.
When Beethoven was writing this, though, it wasn't old, and it wasn't traditional.
When classical composers were writing their music, it was contemporary.
Yes, the stuff that's survived was certainly more intellectual than Justin Bieber, but it was still contemporary.
They were experimenting with new chords, harmonies, and sounds.
Haydn's "Symphony No. 94 - 'Surprise'" was specifically written to scare the crap out of listeners.
Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"used actual cannons as part of the percussive sounds.
So, no. This isn't sacrilegious at all.
If Beethoven were alive today, and heard this, I think he'd think it was pretty cool.

I am one of the most avid classical music fans you may find, but my love of music is a broad church so I love this. It keeps the music alive for those in new generations who may never have heard or wanted to listen to it, and as others have commented, the greatest composers of all time have always caused outrage by going against tradition and as one who loves both tradition and ripping up the rule book, this epic performance is (foot-tappingly) fantastic.

5:44 thank you to the guy who stood up. That would have been me if I was there. You totally and completely deserved a standing ovation.

As a classically trained musician I am blown away by the complexity of the transitioning between the sections as it was so seamless. I am very used to playing âclassical musicâ, including even the moonlight sonata, but this takes some of the best music in the world and makes it better. I think that people often donât appreciate classical music as much anymore but this is clearly enjoyable for anyone no matter their musical tastes. An amazing rendition of an amazing piece!
