EUROPE 1
About this episode

Stéphane Bern raconte, pour la 800e d'Historiquement Vôtre, un événement qui fête, lui, ses 200 ans. 200 ans que cette œuvre musicale a résonné, pour la première fois, au Kärntnertor Theater de Vienne. Ou la véritable histoire de la 9e - et dernière - Symphonie de Beethoven… Comment les contemporains de ce compositeur de génie ont-ils accueilli la création de cette œuvre, le 7 mai 1824 ? Quelle place a-t-elle dans l’histoire de la musique ? Quel message Beethoven voulait-il faire passer en mettant en musique l’Ôde à la joie ? Pour en parler, Stéphane Bern reçoit Thierry Geffrotin, journaliste, spécialiste de musique classique, et musicien.
