Die Neunte
"Freude schöner Götterfunken ..." Bei keiner anderen Symphonie können so viele Leute mitsingen. Aber was hat es mit Beethovens Neunter wirklich auf sich? Schillers Ode an die Freude hatte Beethoven lange beschäftigt, bevor er sie vertonte. Zuerst reagierte die Hörerschaft erschrocken, dann mit wachsender Begeisterung. Dieter Hildebrandt erzählt die Geschichte einer Symphonie, die ein beispielloser musikalischer Welterfolg wurde, und die Geschichten über die Literaten und die Musiker, die diesen Erfolg möglich machten.

Dieter Hildebrandt
82 books1 followerDieter Hildebrandt was an award-winning German cabaret artist.
In 1948 he started studying theatre arts in Munich. During that time he founded a student-performed cabaret show, "Die Namenlosen" ("The Nameless"), in Munich-Schwabing. After finishing his studies Hildebrandt worked with another cabaret artist, Sammy Drechsel, to found and develop the "Münchner Lach und Schießgesellschaft", a successful cabaret venue where he also worked alongside other cabaret artists such as Klaus Havenstein and Bruno Jonas. He terminated his cooperation with Drechsel in 1972, to focus on working for various radio and TV stations.
From 1973 until 1979, Hildebrandt was the presenter and author of the cabaret show "Notizen aus der Provinz" ("Notes From the Provinces"), which was broadcast by German national TV channel ZDF. In 1974, together with Werner Schneyder, he created the show "Autorenkabarett" ("Authors' Cabaret"), which existed until 1982. In 1980 his show "Scheibenwischer" ("Windscreen Wiper") first aired on local Berlin TV channel SFB. It later switched to national channel ARD and remained on the air until 2003. Hildebrandt also frequently took his cabaret performances on the road. Learning that he had cancer in the summer of 2013, he had planned to go on a final tour in 2014, but died within a few months of being diagnosed.
