About

Kent Nagano, music director of the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich and chief conductor of the world-famous Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, is well-known for his innovative concert programmes. Here he conducts the Montreal Symphony Orchestra for his third Beethoven project.

After his two previous CDs with the titles "Ideals of the French Revolution" (Beethoven's Fifth Symphony & the Egmont overture) and "Gods, Heroes and Men" (Beethoven's Third and the ballet music "Creatures of Prometheus"), this new release is dedicated to the subject "In the Breath of Time". Featuring the “Pastorale” Symphony (No.6) and the seldom performed 8th Symphony, this release consists of what are probably Beethoven's two sunniest symphonies.

Also includes:
1. David Suzuki - English Narration: Declaration of Interdependence   
2. David Suzuki - French Narration: Déclaration d'interdépendance
