Beethoven 9th - Von Karajan Live at Carnegie Hall - part III of III

Here is a clip (from a three part video set) of an excerpt from a concert with the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall on 22 November 1958 under the direction of Herbert Von Karajan. The program included Beethoven's Symphony #1 and the 9th Symphony (4th movement has been uploaded in three video clips) with Leontyne Price, Maureen Forrester, Leopold Simoneau and Norman Scott as soloists.

(I tried carefully to make clean breaks in the movement to divide it for YouTube without disrupting the music.)

@TheLachias I bet you haven't listened to Mozart's Requiem.

@TheLachias It's very difficult to "rank" composers because each one was very different, and each contributed to Classical music in some way. Without Mozart, there wouldn't be any Beethoven, without Haydn, there wouldn't be the same Mozart we know today. Without Bach, the music after him would've been very different. And same goes for Beethoven, without him, the Romantic composers like Chopin, Liszt, and Schumann wouldn't have been the same.

Please take your irrelevant comments elsewhere.

Mozart can go poop in a hat and wear it to another gig. Beethoven all the way!
