About

*** Limited Edition 2x S206 Red Gold Colour Vinyl LPs ***

The nine Beethoven symphonies are considered to be one of the greatest musical testaments of all time and are a key staple in every conductor’s repertoire. Simon Rattle performed the complete cycle with the Wiener Philharmoniker in live concerts, recorded for EMI between 29 April and 17 May 2002 at the historic Musikverein in Vienna.

‘In the finale of the Ninth Rattle scores palpably with one of the finest quartets of soloists assembled for many years, and the decision to bring over the CBSO chorus is triumphantly justified, with incandescent choral sound.’ – Gramophone
