Symphony no. 9 ‘Choral’ / Symphony no. 1

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Fritz Uhl & Heinz Rehfuss & Hilde Güden & Aafje Heynis & Oratorienchor Karlsruhe & Orchestre Lamoureux & Igor Markevitch

Symphony No. 9 'Choral' and Symphony No. 1 are symphonic works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824 and 1800 respectively. Musically they chart the arc of Beethoven's development — the First reflects his assimilation of late-18th-century Classical forms and clear orchestration, while the Ninth expands symphonic scope through extended structure, intensified orchestration and the incorporation of vocal forces in its concluding movement, a development that had lasting significance for the genre.
