Search - Ludwig van Beethoven, Osmo Vanska, Minnesota Orchestra :: Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 8

The eagerly awaited second installment is now here and will most certainly create just as much excitement. The orchestra and Vanska - who recently extended his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra until 2011 - have, if possible, become even more attuned to each other, and together create a performance of the Eroica Symphony which is as close as possible to perfection in the details without ever losing sight of the longer lines - or the drama of the Funeral March! Symphony No. 8 provides a lighter relief, as well as ample opportunity for the Minnesota strings to shine in the notorious fast Finale. All in all an intense musical experience, leading up to the Symphony No. 9.
