About

This Beethoven set of Symphonies also includes the first two Piano Concertos (No.1 in two versions, one with cadenzas supplied by Glenn Gould), together with Beethoven’s only completed opera in its final version: Fidelio. He always had a strong and fervent view of freedom and its resonance still rings true today nearly two hundred years since its first performance.
