Beethoven Fantasie in C minor "Choral" Op.80

- Martha Argerich (Piano)
- Seiji Ozawa (Conductor)
- Robert Levin (Pianoforte)
- John Eliot Gardiner (Conductor)

Beethoven intended the Fantasy to serve as the concluding work for the benefit concert he put on for himself on 22 December 1808; the performers consisted of vocal soloists, mixed chorus, an orchestra, and Beethoven himself as piano soloist. The Fantasy was designed to include all the participants in the program and thus unites all of these musical forces.

The work is noted as a kind of forerunner to the later Ninth Symphony.
