The ninth Symphony in D Minor
ln this documentary portrait of Beethoven, Bernstein iIIustrates his analysis 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 completeIy to the chiId-spirit which Iived in that grim, awkward, violent man. Without that utter submission it is impossibIe to play the Adagio of the Ninth. Or, Heaven knows, the first movement. And the FinaIe? Most of aII! lt is simpIy unpIayable unIess we go aII the way with him, as he cries out "Brüder!" - Leonard Bernstein
SoIoists:
Gwyneth Jones
Shirley Verrett
