O welche Lust (Fidelio) 'Prisoner's Chorus'

Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven

Performers: Orfeon Donostiarra (Chorus)
Conductor: Juanjo Mena
Recording date: 12 August 2016

Beethoven was the musical voice of Freedom and Liberty, like in in his one opera 'Fidelio'. Prisoners - many of them political - are given a momentary release, freed from the squalor and darkness of their grave-like cells. They respond to the sun and fresh air with a stirring and heart-tugging hymn of thanks: 'Oh, what joy!'
