Beethoven's 9th symphony is one of the supreme achievements of musical history. Every performance of it is a special occasion. Beethoven's genius is apparent both in his music and in his vision. The famous "Ode to Joy" exhorts all human beings to seek the good and the holy in ourselves and in each other. This sublimely ecstatic hymn in the greatest of all love songs, seemingly composed to each one of us.
