Regarded by some as one of the supreme achievements in the history of Western music, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Ode to Joy, is also one of the most performed symphonies in the world. Based on Schiller's 'Ode to Joy', it finishes with a celebration of the unity of humankind, a theme still topical today.
