Ode to Joy!
Anticipation mounts, just minutes to go... after three long, covid-fuelled years away, it was a great pleasure to return to London’s Royal Albert Hall this week – and what better way to celebrate than the triumphant joy of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the Choral.
The orchestra was the Philharmonia, conducted by Toby Purser, Head of Conducting at the Royal College of Music – plus the thrilling sound of the 150-strong Crouch End Festival Chorus and the spectacular finale, Ode to Joy. Simply glorious.
