Okay , It's A Little Pass Midnight in the city of Detroit on December 16th , 2020 On The Very Beginning of Beethovens 250th Birthday Anniversary !!!.....Who's Watching !!???.....
A performance that, IMHO, more than holds its own against anything that has come out of Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, or Los Angeles. Kudos to all involved!!!
A truly extraordinary performance with this Beethoven masterpiece. It's unbelievable that the conductor led this without a score. How wonderful indeed.
Laura Williams Peeped thw DSO couple of weeks ago couldn't the recall conductor's name but a russian 22 yrd pianist led the evening with classical overtuoire brillance., My intentions are to return a bit later for another evening. A five star night it was.
I was not expecting a great performance but that is what we have here. The orchestral playing is absolutely superb and the interpretation is straightforward but full of tremendous intensity. Technically, this is one of the best videos I have ever seen.
"The UMS Choral Union and soprano Rachelle Durkin, mezzo-soprano Abigail Nims, tenor Sean Panikkar, and bass Peixin Chen will perform alongside the DSO for Beethoven’s Ninth."

You know, I was about to leave a not so good comment about this video. Camera angles (my usual beef...I do like hearing different interpretations of the music but I like watching the piece being played the most). And the fact that's it's played with the excitement of the Lazy River at a water park (it seriously looks like a few of the musicians might be falling asleep). But as the 1st and 2nd violins are next to each other (and mic-ed), this video proved better than quite a few others I've watched. Though they could have used the shot more often where you can see both sections together (wider shots). And I DO get tired of seeing too many shots of the conductor. We get it...he's directing the performance. But he's just waving a baton around. When you ride a train over the scenic countryside, do you look out the window or at the conductor? Just saying.
This interpretation has it's flaws. One thing that stands out is the powerful opening of the 2nd movement (17:26) should repeat at 27:25, but it was omitted. Why do that? When you're expecting it and it doesn't come it's both disappointing and distracting.
