Symphony no. 9, 'Choral'

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Sinfonia Varsovia & Yehudi Menuhin

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, 'Choral' is the ninth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1824. Musically it bridges the Classical and early Romantic eras with expansive structures, adventurous harmony and large-scale orchestration, and is distinctive for its incorporation of chorus and vocal soloists in the final movement as the composer's final completed symphony, reflecting his late-period compositional approach and a key development in the evolution of the symphonic form.
