BEETHOVEN: COMPLETE SYMPHONIES - ANDRIS NELSONS, VIENNA PHILHARMONIC (5 CDS + BLU-RAY AUDIO)

Beethoven: Complete Symphonies

Camilla Nylund (soprano), Gerhild Romberger (alto), Klaus Florian Vogt (tenor), Georg Zeppenfeld (bass), Wiener Singverein, Wiener Philharmoniker, Andris Nelsons

How refreshing that Andris Nelsons comes to the Beethoven symphonies with no discernible interpretative axe to grind...Yet neither does he steer down the middle of the road. Unpredictable might be a succinct description of Nelsons’s interpretative approach...In addition to his ability to create audible drama from the harmonic surprises and tensions in Beethoven’s music, Nelsons also seems to have an innate sense of its ebb and flow. - GRAMOPHONE
