Wiener Phil/Thielemann - Ludwig van Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies

THE BEETHOVEN CYCLE OF THE 21ST CENTURY! Christian Thielemann�s and Wiener Philharmoniker�s recording of BEETHOVEN 9 had been their first recording in HD of all nine Beethoven symphonies, accompanied by nine hour-long documentaries, one on each symphony, featuring Thielemann and Prof. Joachim Kaiser. From insights into Beethoven�s musical thinking to interpretational comparisons, including excerpts from performances by Karajan, B�hm, Bernstein, J�rvi etc., to historical perspectives � no aspect of Beethoven�s symphonic oeuvre will remain untreated! �Thielemann�s recordings of the Beethoven symphonies stand head and shoulders above the countless and mostly undistinguishable versions on offer.� (Die Presse) �The Vienna Philharmonic literally grew beyond itself that evening in the Konzerthaus.� (Neue Z�richer Zeitung) Missa Solemnis: Thielemann �conjured up the gigantic cosmos of the Missa with such lightness and grace that ist mystery seemed to reveal itself.� (FAZ)
