'Symphony No.9 in D Minor - Choral 68, Beethoven |
| Performance Notes | Beethoven helped change the European musical landscape but in his final symphony he imagined the most startling transformation of all: from a brutal, joyless world to one of uplifting and embracing brotherhood. He did it by writing his most vivid music yet and employing for the first time in a symphony a chorus, proclaiming Friedrich Schillers uplifting Ode to Joy. Vladimir Jurowski returns to the Proms, opening with a new work from one of the finest orchestral craftsmen of our time, Magnus Lindberg.
BBC co-commission and world premiere of 'New Work c15', Magnis Lindberg.
