Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 - Claudio Abbado, Berliner Philharmoniker Trailers

With the Fifth Symphony, the Symphony No. 9 is the most famous piece. Its unusual length, the adjunction of soloists and of choruses, the choice of the Ode to Joy by Schiller, all of this concurs to its fame. The Ninth Symphony is a "Big Bang" in symphonic terms. A grandiose apotheosis, sublimating all of Beethoven's work by being the most universal and immediately understood piece ever written.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
