Media reviews

"This book is a great read for expert musicians and for people who can’t read a note of music.  It is a very personal, loving view of Beethoven and his last symphony, but it also presents a fascinating historic panorama." – Plácido Domingo

"Harvey Sachs brings to the fabled Ninth Symphony the broadest range yet of cultural and artistic testimony about Beethoven and about art." – Scott Burnham, Professor of Music History, Princeton University and author of Beethoven Hero

"Harvey Sachs has written excellent books about music and musicians. Here he turns his—and our—attention to one of the great monuments of music. We think we know this symphony quite well. How wrong we are! This book will help us to understand it better." —András Schiff

"Harvey Sachs is a superb writer, a fine musical mind, scholar, and an astute cultural historian. His new book on Beethoven’s Ninth, written within the world of 1824, is a dazzling display of erudition—and high entertainment!" —David Dubal, professor, The Julliard School, and author of Evenings with Horowitz
