Symphony No. 9
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Thomas Beecham
Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work fuses late Classical structures with emerging Romantic expressiveness through expanded orchestration, adventurous harmonic language and a final choral movement that combines voices with the orchestra, marking a culmination of Beethoven's late-period compositional developments and a major expansion of the symphonic form in Western music.
