Beethoven Symphony No. 9 ("Choral")

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & André Cluytens

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, often called the Choral Symphony, is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work integrates a full chorus and vocal soloists into the final movement, merging classical orchestral textures with vocal writing and expansive thematic development, and it stands as a late-period culmination of Beethoven's innovations that influenced the subsequent Romantic symphonic tradition.
First released: 1992
