About

These recordings are the fruit of decades of Claudio Abbado’s deep involvement with Beethoven. Many years of shared artistic experience create a tangible harmony and understanding between the orchestra and Abbado - his musical intentions and the orchestra’s musical expression become one, leading to an outstandingly beautiful unity of sound.

When they performed and recorded the Beethoven Symphonies at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, the national Italian newspaper La Repubblica simply called it: "The most wonderful symphonic cycle of the past decade."
The live performances were an overwhelming success with standing ovations after each of the concerts, and critics considered the concerts as seminal moments in the history of music.

The recordings from the turn of the millennium marked the high point in Abbado's relationship with the Berlin Philharmonic and his 12 years as their chief conductor. It also constituted a major triumph for the international star in his Italian homeland.

Features:
- A 'conductor camera' option allows us to see Abbado from the perspective of the orchestra.
- An interview with Abbado on Beethoven.

All in all: a priceless document of the work of one of the greatest artists of our time.

Vigorous and magnificent, furiously direct - but at the same time blessed with an astounding richness of detail...” - Süddeutsche Zeitung
