About

This Beethoven cycle is a hot tip for insiders: some murmur “this is not Scherchen’s Beethoven, it’s Beethoven’s Beethoven”.

Originally recorded in mono between 1951-1954 for the Westminster label, it has been newly transferred from the original tapes and remastered to the highest standards. Maestro Scherchen’s interpretation is still breathtaking, demonstrating his personal principle: “Music does not have to be understood. It has to be listened to.”

- Plenty of bonus content with a rehearsal of Wellington’s Victory, overtures and the famous 1958 Eroica in stereo: “probably the most exciting Beethoven recording ever made” (Die Zeit)

- First international release of symphonies 3, 5, 6 (mono), 7 and 9

- Original covers, new liner notes by Marco Frei and rare Scherchen photos

- A true rediscovery and important contribution to the Beethoven catalogue
