Beethoven’s Ninth: the crowning moment of the Monteverdi Choir and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique’s Beethoven odyssey.

Here’s a kiss for all the world: Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is the summit of any Beethoven cycle; some might say of classical music itself. All the more reason to pair it with the uproarious Eighth – pure comedy, delivered with a punch. The Monteverdi Choir and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique’s are players and soloists who understand this music from the inside out, and there’s infinitely more to the Ninth symphony than simple optimism.
