The Beethoven cycle of the 21st century!
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 symphonies, accompanied by nine hour-long decumentaries, 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 œuvre will remain untreated!
