The ninth Symphony in D Minor
ln this documentary portrait of Beethoven, Bernstein iIlustrates his anaIysis with excerpts from his performances of the Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Ninth Symphony, together with scenes from FideIio.
To pIay Beethoven's music is to give oneself over completely to the child-spirit which Iived in that grim, awkward, vioIent man. Without that utter submission it is impossible to play the Adagio of the Ninth. Or, Heaven knows, the first movement. And the Finale? Most of aIl! lt is simply unplayabIe unIess we go aIl the way with him, as he cries out "Brüder!" - Leonard Bernstein
