If they had a conductor, he didn’t show in the video, and it was just instruments, no singing. Which reminds me, Listening to it as the European Union anthem, they seem to skip Schiller’s happy cannibals. Is the whole poem included in the original 9th?

Wow. I never noticed that John Baluchi actually looks a lot like Beethoven.

> “And who was doing the chorale?”

That is one big giveaway the music was pre-recorded with the musicians simply syncing their movements to the music. People playing in a group have to constantly adjust their own playing (volume, etc) according to the sound produced, and they can’t do that if they can’t hear what the others are doing.

See post #19. The chorale was probably added in post-production, but the individual performances shown are in the final product.
