Via Rachel Lucas. I’m not a huge fan of classical music, but I’ve been exposed to it. My wife is the one with eclectic musical tastes, running from Mozart to Nine Inch Nails.
Here’s a performance of the last movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the Ode to Joy by the Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra and a chorus of ten thousand people, Yutaka Sado, conducting, at a concert in memory of those lost in the tsunami last year.
The chorus at 7:00 in raised goosebumps on my arms.
