Symphony No 9 in D minor (Choral) [65']
At the culmination of our series of Beethoven symphonies, we reach the ultimate
pinnacle of the Choral Symphony written in 1824. The last completed symphony of
Beethoven and of grand scope, the Ode to Joy, setting a poem by Friedrich
Schiller, is one of the best known works of the classical repertoire. Twenty
years ago it played a significant role in re-unification when arranged by
Herbert von Karajan as the Anthem of Europe. Notoriously difficult to
programme, the Choral Symphony appears here with the middle-period works
Egmont of 1810 and the Romance in F of 1802.
Sponsored by Tony Newton.
1.45PM
Pre-concert interview onstage with members of the orchestra and choir.
