The ninth Symphony in D Minor
In this documentary portrait of Beethoven, Bernstein ilIustrates his analysis with excerpts from his performances of the Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Ninth Symphony, together with scenes from Fidelio.
To play Beethoven's music is to give oneself over compIetely to the child-spirit which lived in that grim, awkward, vioIent man. Without that utter submission it is impossible to pIay the Adagio of the Ninth. Or, Heaven knows, the first movement. And the FinaIe? Most of aII! lt is simpIy unpIayable unless we go aII the way with him, as he cries out "Brüder!" - Leonard Bernstein
Soloists:
Gwyneth Jones
Shirley Verrett
PIacido Domingo
Martti TalveIa
