Beethoven’s 9th Symphony

Brought this in a bundle other two apps work fine, the Beethoven app is in my purchase history from 2014, but its missing from the App Store history to download again. So I download the free version and tried to restore it won’t App worked fine in 2014, no idea why the other two from the bundle worked, but not the Beethoven. The apps is good and enjoyable, but I shouldn’t be prompted to pay again. notice the developer name is different . So not sure what as happened.

This is the Mercedes Benz of iPad apps. A beautifully constructed app by Deutsche Grammophon that truly utilises the power of synchronisation and screen layout to augment and enhance one’s understanding of the music. Very well designed app that has intuitive controls and great content. I rarely buy apps, but this purchase was well worth it.

This is perfect. Synchronised scores, four performances (one with video), commentaries, video interviews with performers and critics, even a facsimile of Beethoven’s original score! Please develop more!

Wonderfully thought through presentation and analysis... more please of other works

Wow. This is the most effective music teaching tool I have ever seen. It combines and synchronises: * 4 real performance recordings in parallel * 3 views of real time score, including auto-condensing mode * music theory descriptions that follow the music * responsive colour coded navigation strip * colour coded visual scheme of seating arrangement making for a very detailed, real-time, visual representation of the work. The “engine” behind this app opens up amazing possibilities for music analysis and general education. I can’t imagine the amount of work that went into this app, yet there is also further untapped potential. Applause.

This is amazing value: 4 great recordings plus two types of score and a facsimile of the original score that was used for the World premiere of the piece. I love the video recordings and found the essays really interesting too. Could we have some more please: Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’ would be amazing if treated under this kind of microscope. Messiaen’s ‘Quartet for the end if time’ or Bach’s ‘Brandenburg Concertos’ also come to mind. The interplay between the soloists and the concertante would really come out in an app like this. Well done guys!

So beautiful l, it will be lovely to have more music with the score at the same time. Please developers will you include more music in your app?

Top notch, love it.

A truly fantastic app - for the music scholar and amateur alike; this truly allows you to peel below the layers of (almost certainly) the finest symphony ever written. Highly recommended.

The app is quite good but huge in size. Will probably take up more storage than all your other apps put together. The app downloaded without trouble but updates are a real problem. I've been trying to download the current release for 8 days now, without success.
