It is tough going, at least until the orchestra gets stuck into the epic fourth movement, and, to paraphrase the immortal James Brown, takes it to the bridge.

Put simply, the fourth movement of Beethoven's 9th rocks.

Hahahaha!

For all that he's a hipster rock journo, he still writes like a vicar dancing at the school disco. Cheesy

What an absurd article. This man hasn't grown up.

By the way, I was moved by this comment on Anton Webern's Symphony Op. 21 on youtube:

"Forget Grunge, Punk, Death Metal etc, kids. They are all in it for the money. This is the only truly subversive music that you can scare your parents with. Music for the rebellious teenager of today. Still controversial, misunderstood and uncommercialized after eighty years..."

I still remember the irritated face of my father when he caught me listening to this piece when I was 16! Cheesy

Thanks for that link, Pim. I was just in the mood to hear that ravishing piece. Any idea who's performing on that clip (I don't see any credits)?  Smiley
