BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2012 Repeats, Prom 18: Beethoven

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

A Prom in which Daniel Barenboim conducts the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and National Youth Choir of Great Britain in the annual peformance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

With Penny Gore.

As the Olympic Games open in London, Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra reach the climax of their Beethoven Cycle with the iconic Ninth Symphony - a hymn to universal brotherhood.

An impressive team of soloists joins the orchestra and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain to project the finale's epic vision of hope, reconciliation and triumph.

Presented by Tom Service.
