Beethoven Revered in Ninth Symphony Tribute at Vienna
Beethoven dominates classical myth with the Ninth Symphony's debut in Vienna on May 7, 1824. Deaf for two decades, he watched the chorus applaud as he beat time, while the Berlin Philharmonic under Andre Cluytens offers a strong full nine-symphony set praised for the Ninth. The review notes historic impact, compares earlier symphonies, and highlights other new releases by Arrau Szeryng Starker and Klemperer with Barenboim.
