Beethoven-Cycle IV
The Iceland Symphony completes its Beethoven's Cycle with two unique masterpieces. The Ninth is one of the most famous and inspiring works of classical music history. In a newspapers article in 1938, the Icelandic organist/composer Páll Ísólfsson said “Never before have delight and brotherhood had such a magnificent voice as in the Ninth. That is the reason for its popularity during various anniversaries throughout the world. Whether it is played in Germany, France, England or Russia: everywhere you will witness how it strikes a chord in human hearts, giving them hope for a better life, a brighter future.”
