Beloved by audiences for centuries, Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony brings more power and more transcendent beauty than it seems possible for the heart to hold, leaving the listener exalted and uplifted. Yannick conducts a soaring performance that features some of today’s most powerful voices. The Symphony’s indelible choral component, based on German poet Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy,” offers an intricately woven tapestry of sound and a supremely powerful finale—a call for freedom, equality, and unity.
