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.
