Symphony no. 9

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra & Milwaukee Symphony Chorus & Zdeněk Mácal

Symphony No. 9 is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and premiered in 1824. It belongs to Beethoven's late period and bridges the Classical and Romantic eras, expanding the symphonic form through a large orchestra and the unprecedented addition of solo voices and chorus in the final movement to set a poetic text, marking a pivotal point in his later output and in the development of the symphony.
First released: 1989
