Symphony No. 9 "Choral"
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & English Chamber Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas
Symphony No. 9 'Choral' is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work blends late Classical and early Romantic elements, expands the symphonic form by incorporating vocal soloists and a chorus in its final movement, and occupies a central place in Beethoven's late period for its large-scale innovations in orchestral and choral integration within Western art music.
