Overview
Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, also known as the "Choral Symphony", is one of the most revered works in the classical repertoire, and this rendition, conducted by Eugen Duvier, is a powerful interpretation. The Philharmonia Slavonica, along with the Choir of the Bratislava State Opera, delivers a robust and stirring performance that captures the grandeur and emotion of Beethoven’s final symphony.
The symphony’s four movements span a wide range of emotional and musical landscapes, from the stirring first movement, “Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso,” to the triumphant and uplifting finale, “Presto - Allegro assai,” which features the iconic "Ode to Joy." The soloists, including Eva Bandova (alto), Josef Bacek (bass), Magdalena Paloczaj (soprano), and Peter Kottwald (tenor), bring depth and clarity to Beethoven’s choral setting, making this performance truly memorable.
This CD, presented in DDD format (digitally recorded, mixed, and mastered), offers a dynamic listening experience. The used, like-new condition ensures that you can enjoy a near-perfect copy of this stirring symphonic masterpiece.
