It is already December close to the end of this year. Around this time in a year, I was often listening music at the dorm room of the university. More than half a century ago.
Beethoven 9th symphony played by Bayreuth Festival orchestra in 1951 was one of the pieces which we, me and a room mate friend, used to enjoy. We have prepared an audio set with speakers of Sansui those days. It was the days we both had joined the university orchestra together.

This performance is exceptionally tense up as well as the atmosphere was. This music is to sing out loudly for the unity of mankind. I still wonder if we have progressed that way since those days or even since the time Beethoven composed it.
It has passed half a century for now. This performance still brings me back to those days. The dark and quiet dorm room. The symphony started like the moment of universe creation.
