Beethoven: Symphony No. 9

The piece has been rightly called, a “masterpiece“. It’s an extremely powerful symphony, which revolutionized all of music. The composer innovatively added a choir onto the last movement, to sing Schiller’s poem “Ode to Joy“ to Beethoven’s magnificent melody. Astonishingly, Beethoven wrote it when he was completely deaf.
