Symphonie No. 9 “avec chœrs”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Anna Tomowa‐Sintow & Annelies Burmeister & Peter Schreier & Theo Adam & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Kurt Masur

Symphony No. 9, often called the Choral Symphony, is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1824. It expands the classical symphonic form by incorporating vocal soloists and a mixed choir in the final movement alongside a large orchestra, employing contrapuntal textures, an expanded harmonic palette and wide dynamic contrasts, and occupies a central position in Beethoven's late period that helped bridge Classical and Romantic orchestral practice.
