Emotionally gripping and musically groundbreaking, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 is a towering masterpiece of Western music. With this symphony, he took the form crafted by Haydn and polished by Mozart, and thrust it into a new age. From its mysterious opening movement to the joyous choral finale, it is grander and more dramatic than anything that came before; it’s also the seed from which the symphonies of Bruckner, Mahler, and others blossomed.
