About

The two previous discs of Beethoven symphonies, both of which have Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra have been greeted with great acclaim. Now we have the long-awaited Ninth Symphony of Beethoven to join them. 
 
Few works of art - musical or otherwise – are as firmly established in global culture as Beethoven's Ninth Symphony; the sheer size and complexity of it is daunting even today. Its appeal has not only stood the test of time, however – the Ninth holds significance for people all over the world, regardless of country: the closest we have to a truly universal piece of music. 
 
The quartet of soloists has been handpicked and gives an exciting edge to this huge ensemble in the final movement's Ode to Joy, filling it with all the exhilaration that the music invites. There is no question that Vänskä's account of the greatest of the Beethoven symphonies is something that must be experienced.
