Optimal Sound when viewed in High Quality ( &fmt=18 )...
Perhaps this is THE RECORDING for Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Christoph Von Dohnanyi conducts the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus in this October of 1985 performance. The Cleveland Orchestra, under Dohnanyi's Baton, had the superior Orchestra "Sound", with a String Section that was tighter than you-know-what! How Dohnanyi got a Whole String Section to sound "as one"... it just blows my mind! Their precision and accuracy is flawless, and the WoodWinds sound "heavenly"! They truly are Beethoven Masters!
Thank you for listening!

  • Wow, this was very impressive! Thank you very much for including the lyrics-- it put the piece into perspective, hence why the sound grows very light and celestial at "Above the Stars He Must Dwell"-- like shards of divine light piercing a cloud cover.

  • @gsbreath2 i have also heard another recording of the Cleveland Orchestra but i could not remember what year it was (i knw it is more recent than this tho) and that one was..IS also amazing! and now i am trying to decide which one is a much better recording! but all i knw is that both of these performance's are worth the money and time..i love the soloist in both performance and i love the chorus and orchestra also, in both! i will search it and let you guysknw :P

  • fk this, go listen techno

  • I believe this recording got a Grammy, didn't it? Anyway, it was the first one I ever bought, I think I was about 14. Nowadays it's hard for me to listen to Dohnányi without thinking about what those crazy idiot Nazis did to his dear, brave hero of a father. When he conducts the 9th, we should listen!

  • excelente!!!!!

  • How many Mvt's are in this piece ?

  • Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

  • I loved this since the first time I heard it on Michael Jackson Dangerous album.
