Konzert zum Jahreswechsel (New Year's Concert) by Various, Alkaen (2020/2021), Musiikinjohto Daniel Barenboim, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Germany

No other work of classical music is as important as Beethoven's Ninth. Since the first performance in Berlin in 1826, while Beethoven was still alive, it has been a constant in the repertoire of the Royal Prussian Court Orchestra and later the Staatskapelle Berlin. Ending the old year with her and welcoming in the new is a very special kind of musical celebration.
