Beethoven: 9 Symphonies & Overtures Budget CD Box 

Warner Classics / 2014

Product Overview:

Beethoven’s nine epoch-making symphonies represent a touchstone for any conductor, and these recordings constitute a highlight of Riccardo Muti’s 12-year tenure as music director of the illustrious Philadelphia Orchestra. As Gramophone wrote: “”The Philadelphia Orchestra…respond superbly to the demands Muti makes on them…The fine shaping of the parts and the whole, the superb playing and a clear sense of discovery communicate themselves thrillingly to the listener.”” This six-CD set includes all nine symphonies as well as several of Beethoven’s overtures.
