Synopsis

Album Description
Critics have already predicted that these unique interpretations, utilizing historically-informed performance practices delivered by a modern symphony orchestra, will serve to establish new standards for interpretation. Sixteen years after his controversial readings of the Beethoven Symphonies, the maestro returns to this repertoire with a new understanding and a fresh vision. While remaining absolutely faithful to Beethoven's original concept, Sir Roger Norrington wanted to capture the excitement of confronting these scores for the first time. These live recordings from the European Musikfest are an eloquent document of Norrington?s life-long involvement with the works of Beethoven and include Norrington?s own commentary, defining his interpretative choices, artistic insights and approach to performance practice.
