In the hands of Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his period-instrument ensemble, Beethoven takes on a distinctive vibrancy and jubilant excitement that leaves audiences breathless. Last season, they brought four of Beethoven’s symphonies to Carnegie Hall, and on this concert they return with The Monteverdi Choir for the monumental Ninth and its celebrated Ode to Joy.
