Ludwig van Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies DLX Die Version auf Vinyl 10LP in deluxe Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht im Verlag Warner Classics am 15. November 2018.

Furtwängler's Beethoven on vinyl: 9 symphonies in recordings from 1948-1954 No other symphonic cycle captivated conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler as much as this one: Beethoven's nine symphonies - the pinnacle of orchestral music par excellence, the symbol of the classical tradition. Unfortunately, Furtwängler was never able to make a complete recording of the great "Nine Sisters" under the same conditions. However, at least in the later phase of his work between 1948 and 1954, he did provide some important documents which now form such an edition: In the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna, he was able to record Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 to 7 in studio conditions, so to speak. With the second and eighth albums, famous live recordings were made in London and Stockholm. Furtwängler's mature late Ninth Symphony is legendary: the work, which he personally regarded as his shrine, was performed in 1951 at the reopening of the Bayreuth Festival Theatre after the Second World War. Performed with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Elisabeth Höngen, Hans Hopf and Otto Edelmann, it made one of the most important recordings of the work ever - and now forms a major cycle on vinyl LP with other Furtwängler Beethoven documents. Product informationThe definitive version of the greatest symphonic cycle ever composed; the Symphonies 3, 5 and 9, for example, are absolutely legendary recordings. As this is by far the best-selling album of the Budget Boxset series over the past two years, these recordings are now returning to vinyl format in a deluxe edition. Beethoven was a guiding musical force for Wilhelm Furtwängler. In his interpretation of the symphonies, the conductor creates an irresistible dramatic charge - and a constant sense of imaginative freshness - through the interplay of form, harmony, texture, rhythm and tempo. All these recordings, made in the late 1940s and early 1950s at the Musikverein in Vienna and at concerts in London, Bayreuth and Stockholm, were remastered at Abbey Road in 2010, bringing their sound to life as never before.
