Beethoven Symphonien No.9, Wiener Philharmoniker / Leonard Bernstein

#1

We’ve come to the end of our journey. Today’s installment is considered to be his finest Symphony by many.

I hope you have enjoyed these! It’s been my pleasure to post this series of all 9 of Beethoven’s Symphonies conducted by Leonard Bernstein in front of the Vienna Philharmonic. :+1:

PS As an added treat, this one is available in 1080p. :clap:

Do you know that “Freude schöner Götterfunken” (Friedrich (von) Schiller)
is the European hymn.

I know that as Ode to Joy, but I still didn’t know it was the European Hymn.

We should never start any political discussion here.
There are so many other places for such ones. :laughing:

Well I made it through all 9. Would say that the 8th and 5th may be my current favourites of those shared.

But… that could change… :crazy_face:
