    Very cool but not by definition a Flash Mob.

    If you read the description this was part of a pre arranged publicity campaign paying homage to their city and publicity stunts are not classed as flash mobs

    Might sound picky, but the switch between studio and stream sound really jarred me, and put me off the whole thing.

    One sloppy sound producer can ruin something. Damn my OCD.

    Just the Ode to Joy? Not the whole 9th Symphony?.... you're missing out fella - that is just the tiniest part of one of the all time greatest orchestral works. Ever.

    Actually it's a collection of the man's best* works collected onto a double CD. I know nothing about classical music but I know Ode to Joy, and Now I'll have to look up the 9th as well. Top Tip - Thanks !

    *Best as selected by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

    Ode to Joy, part of its beauty is its so simple to learn to play. I reckon I could teach anyone the first part on the piano within a couple of hours even if they've never played before.
