¡Neumann / Beethoven: Symphony No.9 "Choral"
¡Vaclav Neumann (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] In 1989, the 100th anniversary of Neumann's birth, immediately after the democratic revolution, "Song of Joy" resounded loudly! In November 1989, a group of people called the Citizens' Forum led the "Velvet Revolution" demanding democracy in the Czech Republic. One month later, this venue was filled with people wearing the peace badge, the symbol of the Citizens' Forum. The program included Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, who had worked hard for the revolution, and Havel, who represented the Forum and later became President of the Czech Republic. This "Special 9th Symphony" was filled with a different kind of emotion than the usual performance. The soloists, including Benia kova, are world-renowned Czech virtuosos, and this performance is an important document in the history of the Ninth Symphony. [Performers] Vaclav Neumann (conductor), Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Gabriela Benyachkova-Chapova (soprano), Anne Geevang (alto), Gunter Neumann (tenor), Artur Korn (bass), Czech Philharmonic Choir ( Chorus conductor: Lubomir Maitre) Recorded live at Smetana Hall, Prague, December 14, 1989 75 min.
