Beethoven Symphony No. 9 available to stream On Demand
BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY NO. 9 GUSTAV MAHLER’S ORCHESTRATION AVAILABLE ON DEMAND – DECEMBER 18
Originally streamed 1 year ago as part of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary celebration, On Air’s dazzling performance of Beethoven’s ‘Symphony No. 9’ from Vienna’s Synchron Stage is being made available to watch On Demand from December 18th.
What does ‘On Demand’ mean? It means the performance will be available to watch 24/7 and an unlimited number of times.
Streamed in mesmerising 4K UHD resolution and with Dolby Atmos sound, classical music fans will be able to watch this incredible performance conducted by Johannes Vogel and featuring the 123-strong Synchron Stage Orchestra and choir.
The final complete symphony to be written by Beethoven, No 9 is regarded by many as both Beethoven’s greatest work and as one of the greatest pieces of classical music ever composed.
“The decision to perform Mahler’s re-orchestration of the Ninth Symphony synchronised perfectly in my mind. Together, they are two of my most admired composers. His symphonies are very much influenced by Beethoven. He should be admired in his bravery to bring Beethoven through time with the use of the early modern 20th century instruments heard in his orchestration”.
“We now live in an extremely challenging times and hope for more positivity and optimism. This symphony represents the resilience of the human spirit; full of courage and vision, hope and joy”.
— Johannes Vogel
