(2-CD set) Philadelphia's premiere choral/orchestral ensemble, Vox Ama Deus, shines on a new two CD Lyrichord set of great Beethoven masterworks, the mighty Ninth Symphony, Opus 125 and his Opus 113, Die Ruinen von Athen. Maestro Valentin Radu conducts the Ama Deus Ensemble Orchestra and Chorus and soloists. Also included is the little known, splendid Ruin Of Athens, a choral masque commissioned for the opening of a new theater in the Hungarian city of Pest in 1813. Beethoven's score contains nearly 35 minutes of wonderful music, yet is today is known only for its Overture and the familiar Turkish March. Two full CDs for the price of one!
