Symphony no. 9 "Choral"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & The Cleveland Orchestra & The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus & George Szell

Symphony No. 9 "Choral" is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work combines late-classical symphonic structure with a large-scale choral finale that incorporates soloists and a chorus alongside expanded orchestral forces, marking a late-period development in Beethoven's use of form, harmony and the integration of voice into the symphony.
