| Abstract | The first-ever Beethoven cylce on blu-ray. Christian Thielemann joins forces with the prestigious Wiener Philharmoniker in a unique and monumental project: Beethoven 9, their first recording in HD of all nine Beethoven symponies, accompanied by nine long-hour documentaries, one on each symphony, featuring Thielemann and Germany's most eminent music critic, Prof. Joachim Kaiser. From insights into Beethoven's musical thinking to interpretational comparisons, including excerpts from performances by Karajan, Böhm, Bernstein, Järvi etc., to historical perspectives--no aspect of Beethoven's symphonic oeuvre will remain untreated. |
