Symphony No. 9 "Choral"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi & Carol Vaness & Janice Taylor & Siegfried Jerusalem & Robert Lloyd

Symphony No. 9 'Choral' is the ninth symphony by German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. The work expands the classical symphonic form with large-scale orchestral and vocal forces, blending sonata structures and contrapuntal writing with a final movement that introduces soloists and chorus, marking a pivotal late-period statement in Beethoven's output and in the transition to Romantic-era symphonic writing.
