Beethoven's Ninth Symphony from the CBSO
Kazuki Yamada conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, alongside Strauss's Metamorphosen and Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments.
Stravinsky celebrates the beautiful variety of wind and brass in his small but perfectly formed Symphonies, while it鈥檚 simply strings for Strauss in the gorgeous Metamorphosen - which quotes Beethoven throughout. Beethoven himself is on magnificent form in his famous Choral Symphony, featuring a quartet of equally magnificent soloists in its awe-inspiring "Ode to Joy" in the final movement.
Recorded at Symphony Hall, Birmingham on 19th September.
Presented by Mark Forrest.
