Beethoven's 9th is one of my favorites as I listen to mostly classical nowadays. If you let yourself go the appreciation of works from Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, Wagner, Stravinsky, Vivaldi, etc. and other composers can really enhance your appreciation of what music is. The list can be very long ;)

The canvas of classical music is so broad, vast, and very very enjoyable :D Thanks Doc :) Good selection.

Great vid. I much as I love all music, it really makes you wonder if anything made in the last few hundred years or so will ever match the beauty and majesty of the classics.

Great, thanks for sharing. An amazing opus, personally I like the 3rd symphony "Eroica" even more. Most people do not know, that Beethoven was completely deaf, when he wrote the 9th.
