Sharing Beethoven

I just listened to an absolutely marvelous performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony performed by the Chicago Symphony with Ricardo Muti conducting.
Here's a link, Hope you enjoy it:

I'm listening to this wonderful performance now while doing my income taxes. This is a marvelous performance by the CSO (Riccardo Muti conducting). A marvelous piece written by Beethoven - who never got to hear it.

You have to appreciate the choir sitting completely still for an hour before they get their chance to contribute.

For your consideration, Susan McClary has some thoughts about this piece.
