Symphony no. 9 “Choral”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Festival Orchestra

Symphony No. 9 'Choral' is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work combines late Classical and early Romantic orchestral writing and features an expanded orchestra and chorus in the final movement, integrating vocal forces into the symphonic form and marking a culminating development of Beethoven's late-period approach to large-scale structure.
