The ultimate ecstasy achieved by the great maestro Karajan
A definitive recording of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, woven together with overwhelming scale and meticulous control.
Herbert von Karajan's performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is imbued with a beauty refined to the utmost degree from beginning to end. The final movement, in which the chorus, soloists, and orchestra move forward as one, is a breathtaking sound that symbolizes the sublimity of the human spirit.
