Beethoven's Ninth
Case Scaglione leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Radio Choir and soloists Julia Kleiter, Katija Dragojevic, Maximilian Schmitt and John Lundgren in a concert on the theme of freedom and peace. Arnold Schönberg’s interpretation of the Jewish prayer Kol nidre is followed by Ludwig van Beethoven’s ninth symphony, known above all for the euphoric final chorus Ode to Joy.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
The concert will be broadcasted live in the Swedish Radio P2 Friday, April 19 at 7:03 pm.
The concert has a new conductor. Case Scaglione replaces Herbert Blomstedt. John Lundgren, baritone replaces Tareq Nazmi, bass.
The change of conductor also means that the Missa Solemnis is deleted and replaced by Schönberg’s Kol nidre and Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9. The concert was previously titled Missa Solemnis with Blomstedt.
Approximate duration: 1 hr 30 mins
