First and foremost, this double album enshrines the exemplary work of an ensemble whose designation 'Baroque Orchestra' by no means limits it's excursions into later repertories: under the watchful eye of a gifted conductor, the 'Freiburgers' (and co.) offer us a profoundly renewed vision of the Ninth, that myth among myths, that touchstone of a genre in quest of the absolute - and the direct descendant of a much earlier 'Choral Fantasy'. The latter work showcased one of Beethoven's most extraordinary talents: improvisation. Kristian Bezuidenhout has joined forces again with his concerto partners to let us experience this little-known score as if it had just been premiered... then transcribed by Beethoven himself!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePablo Heras-Casado - Conductor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreiburger Barockorchester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKristian Bezuidenhout - Fortepiano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSophie Harmsen - Mezzo-soprano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWerner Güra - Tenor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlorian Boesch - Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZürcher Sing-Akademie - Choral ensemble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristiane Karg - Soprano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymphony no.9 \"Choral\" op.125\u003cbr\u003ein D minor \/ D-moll \/ ré mineur\u003cbr\u003e1I.
