would comfortably contain all of Beethoven's 9th symphony on one disc. Although some stories reference a
specific Sony higher-up who claimed this as his favorite piece of music, stories differ. All that's known for sure is
that Sony insisted on this and won out over Phillips' original 60 minute proposal.
