“The Ninth,” referred to with this simple term, is a masterpiece known to everyone. Beethoven’s last, longest, and most monumental symphony is at once the embodiment of the ideas of the genius and the rebellious artist, as well as a celebration of the whole of humankind. It is a work that pushes and indeed breaks down boundaries in every sense of the word, as it incorporates into a purely instrumental genre the human voice, which sings in the finale of how “all men become brothers.” Along with Beethoven’s universal musical and philosophical ideas, audiences can enjoy the return of the BFO’s much-loved guest artists, a Swedish soprano, a Dutch alto, an English tenor, and a German bass-baritone, who will ensure that this concert, where, together with the Pan-European Choir and the Hungarian National Choir, they will sing Schiller’s immortal lines (now the text of the European Union anthem), will traverse national boundaries.
