Beethoven 9 Chicago Symphony Orchestra Riccardo Muti

On May 7, 1824, Beethoven shared his 9th Symphony with the world even though he could never hear it. On May 7, 2015 the Chicago Symphony celebrated the anniversary of Beethoven’s most glorious and jubilant masterpiece with Riccardo Muti conducting. An exhilarating testament to the human spirit, Beethoven’s Ninth bursts with brooding power and kinetic energy and culminates in the exultant hymn, “Ode to Joy.”
