Beethoven Symphonies Set
Conductor: Osmo Vänskä
Minnesota Orchestra
Release: 2009
Repertoire: Beethoven Symphonies 1-9
The Minnesota Orchestra's acclaimed recordings of the nine Beethoven symphonies are now available in a five-disc box set. Produced and recorded over five years by BIS, the Minnesota Orchestra's Beethoven recordings have earned Grammy and Gramophone Award nominations and received high praise in national and international media outlets.
It's hard to think of a more distinguished Beethoven cycle by an American orchestra since the legendary Toscanini traversal of 1939... [Vänsk] and his wonderfully committed musicians have staked out a claim not merely for excellence, but for greatness.”
