Daniel Barenboim conducts the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and National Youth Choir of Great Britain in the annual Proms performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Presented by Tom Service

As the Olympic Games open in London, Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra reach the climax of their Beethoven Cycle with the iconic Ninth Symphony - a hymn to universal brotherhood.

An impressive team of soloists joins the orchestra and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain to project the finale's epic vision of hope, reconciliation and triumph. A fitting way to mark this historic day.
