Девятая симфония Людвига ван Бетховена – икона мировой музыкальной культуры, пожалуй, самое знаменитое сочинение в истории музыки. Даже люди, далекие от классики, знают знаменитую «Оду к радости» на стихи Фридриха Шиллера… Сегодня, без малого два века спустя после создания, Девятая симфония остается непревзойденным по мощности воздействия гимном братству.

Поразительным образом созданная в совершенно иную эпоху музыка оказывается созвучной самым разным культурам нашего времени. В чем секрет успеха Девятой? В чем тайна ее универсальности?
