Симфония № 9 Бетховена - анализ звездного украинского дирижера Оксаны Линив

Beethoven's 9th Symphony is a significant milestone in music history and symbolizes culture and humanity. The famous final chorus with the "Ode to Joy" represents peace and international understanding. Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv deeply connects with Beethoven's symphony and has conducted the Ninth many times. One particularly moving performance was with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, which took place the day after the Russian attack on Kyiv and Kharkiv in February 2022. The conductor finds the 4th movement especially poignant due to the lyrics written by the German poet Friedrich Schiller. When she hears the verse "All people become brothers," it reminds her that the world is still far from being peaceful. You can watch Oksana Lyniv's personal analysis of Beethoven's masterpiece.
