Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony recently put up a performance on YouTube, which I believe is up there with Kurt Masur, Herbert von Karajan, and even Furtwangler......
This is as close to a perfect Beethoven Ninth as you'll ever encounter..... Even the choir was top drawer.... And the four singers were *fabulous*.... This is as good as it gets.
This further reinforces my opinion of Maestro Riccardo Muti, one of the great conductors of our time.
