Rafael KubelikAbout
Sometimes known as the "hymn to humour", the genial Eighth Symphony sits as an intriguing gem between the imposing Seventh and stupendous Ninth symphonies. In a performance described as "light-footed and bristling with energy" (AllMusic), Kubelik captures the work's essentially irreverent spirit with vibrant and colourful playing from the Cleveland Orchestra.
Rafael Kubelik recorded his cycle of Beethoven symphonies in the 1970s for Deutsche Grammophon, each with a different orchestra, earning widespread praise. Although recorded in multi-channel sound, these unmissable performances have previously been available only in the conventional two-channel stereo format. Using state of the art technology which avoids the need for re-mixing, Pentatone's engineers have remastered the original studio tapes to bring the performances to life as originally intended: in compelling and pristine multichannel sound.
