In celebration of the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, I wanted to talk about what I remember from the time. Honestly, I was pretty young (10 years old), but still have a very vivid image in my head of Leonard Bernstein conducting a multi-country orchestra in possibly one of the most moving performances of Beethoven’s 9th symphony… ever. I still remember Dad telling me that word “Joy” was modified to “Freedom” in honor of what was definitely one of the most important events of the 20th century. Enjoy the clip… not safe for work- may be too emotional
