Concertgebouworkest - Beethoven Symphonies Nos 1-9 (2020) [Official Digital Download]

Ludwig van Beethoven's 'Nine Symphonies' are the core repertoire of virtually every orchestra in the world and the Concertgebouworkest is no exception. Until the 1960s the Beethoven tradition of the Concertgebouworkest meant yearly symphony cycles that closed concert seasons. Later on Beethoven 'Symphonies' were mainly programmed one at a time, with a different (guest) conductor. This box set offers the finest recorded Concertgebouworkest live performances of the 'Nine Symphonies' since the 1970s. With a variety of conductors, from Leonard Bernstein to Nikolaus Harnoncourt it demonstrates the orchestra's incredible versatility.

The Beethoven symphonies: all nine of them stunning masterworks, all nine performed countless times. Be that as it may, there are conductors who can recontextualise these symphonies in such a way that they sound completely new, as Iván Fischer proved in 2013 and 2014 in his Beethoven Series with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, spread out over two seasons. A veritable journey of discovery through a familiar landscape.

"Fischer's Beethoven: As if the ink is still wet" (Frits van der Waa, Volkskrant)

"RCO plays a perfect Pastoral… The swinging Seventh […] can compete with the legendary performance of Carlos Kleiber…" (Roeland Hazendonk, Het Parool)

"Fischer shed new light on Beethoven" (Floris Don, NRC)
