Choral

This is Herbert von Karajan [1908-1989] at his best; the 9th and last symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven. A 1977 performance of mr. von Karajan, probably with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Some information about Herbert von Karajan at wiki

Beethoven was stone-deaf when he composed this music. The last part of this symphony is generally known as the Europe hymn.
