Symphony No. 9 "Choral", Op. 125
by Ludwig van Beethoven
ViolinCelloVoice (Soprano)Voice (Baritone)ClassicalSymphony~65 minprofessional
The symphony that redefined what a symphony could be. The "Ode to Joy" finale, with its chorus and soloists, broke every rule. Beethoven, completely deaf, conducted the premiere and had to be turned around to see the audience's wild applause. The EU adopted the theme as its anthem.
