Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1824. The work blends large-scale orchestral forces with vocal soloists and a chorus in its final movement, exemplifying Beethoven's late-period style through expanded orchestration, thematic integration and a move towards a more expansive, philosophical musical language that influenced subsequent symphonic writing.
