Symphony no. 9 “Choral”
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & André Cluytens & Berliner Philharmoniker
Symphony No. 9 'Choral' is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. Musically it expands the symphonic form by introducing choral and solo vocal forces in the finale, blending orchestral and vocal textures and stretching harmonic and formal boundaries, and it marks the culmination of Beethoven's symphonic writing at the threshold of the Romantic era.
