1989 Berlin Wall 'ODE A LA LIBERTE' CD
With the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), there was a Beethoven 9th Symphony concert at the Brandenburg Gate. When this Bernstein's CD was released, I rushed to the store and grabbed the limited edition bundled with a piece of the Wall.
During those days things changed so fast. I posted an annotated map of Eastern Europe cut from newspaper. I told students to see which regime was the next to be changed or overthrown. Feeling excited, I even recorded BBC's radio report on the happenings in November as listening materials for my elite students.
20 years have passed. The wall hampering true democracy in our country still erects, however...sigh!
