Ode an die Freiheit (1989)
Conducted by Leonard Bernstein, THE BERLIN CELEBRATION CONCERT is an historic performance marking the fall of the Berlin Wall. Performed on Christmas Day 1989 in the former East Berlin, the concert unites an international cast of celebrated musicians and vocalists for a moving performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
在柏林墙倒塌的当年,伯恩斯坦提议将席勒诗歌的名称欢乐颂改为 自由颂, 用于圣诞节演奏贝多芬第九交响乐的歌词。
(statt "Freude, schöner Götterfunken": "Freiheit, schöner Götterfunken")
