Symphony No. 9

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich & David Zinman

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and premiered in 1824. The work expands the classical symphonic palette by introducing a full chorus in the final movement and juxtaposes lyrical orchestral writing with emphatic, hymn-like passages, reflecting Beethoven's late-period style and marking an important milestone in the transition from Classical to Romantic music.
First released: 22nd March 1999
