BEETHOVEN - SYMPHONIES 1-9 - KARAJAN - BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (180g IMPORT 8LP BOX SET)

Beethoven's Symphonies 1 - 9 - Karajan - Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra On 8 x 180g LP Vinyl Box Set From Speakers Corner

Of the four Beethoven cycles which Karajan recorded over four decades, the present cycle is undoubtedly at the very top of the list. This cannot alone lie in the sumptuous sound which was both praised and criticized at the time. Rather more, in masterly fashion Karajan places more emphasis on the youthful freshness of the early symphonies, gets right to the heart of the drama in the Third, and allows the multi-layered Fourth to sound stringent and decisive. Powerfully yet without exaggerated, fateful relentlessness, the Fifth plows on towards its triumphant C major finale, while the filigree expansiveness of the Sixth ensures that it is not merely a sugary tonal painting. The Berlin Philharmonic present the Seventh and Eighth at a comparatively breezy pace, while never losing sight of the hidden depths of the score. Finally, we have the glorious sound of the agitated Ninth, sung by the stars of the day, whom the Maestro leads surely and safely, as he does his orchestra, through the score.

Beethoven's Symphonies 1-9 are all here in this fine 8 x 180g Vinyl LP Speakers Corner Box Set!
