This Beethoven Symphony No. 9 from the outstanding Beethoven project of Christian Thielemann and the Wiener Philharmoniker, first time recorded in HD and 5.0 SS, is accompanied by a one hour-long documentary featuring Christian Thielemann and Germany's most eminent music critic, Prof. Joachim Kaiser. From insights into Beethoven's musical thinking to interpretational comparisons, including excerpts from performances by Karajan, Bernstein, Järvi, to historical perspectives - no aspect of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 will remain untreated! "Thielemann's reading of the Beethoven symphonies stands heads and shoulders above the countless and mostly undistinguishable versions on offer." Die Presse
