S66·E7 – Beethoven's 9th Symphony

Daniel Barenboim's complete cycle of Beethoven symphonies reaches its climactic conclusion. The ninth 'choral' symphony, with its passionate vision of human reconciliation, is performed at the Royal Albert Hall by the young musicians of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and an international quartet of soloists - Anna Samuil, Waltraud Meier, Peter Seiffert and René Pape.
