Symphony no. 9 "Choral"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & 読売日本交響楽団 & Jan Willem de Vriend

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, the Choral symphony, is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1824. A late-period work that incorporates vocal soloists and chorus into the symphonic framework, it expands the orchestral palette and formal scope with dramatic contrasts, dense counterpoint and a wide dynamic range, marking a major development in Beethoven's late style and in the evolution of the symphony.
