Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
These are the first recordings of Beethoven's symphonies by a distinguished Swiss conductor, working with an obscure and relatively small Italian orchestra. It's surprising on several counts. The smallness of the orchestra is sometimes a minor handicap, not in its impact, but in the way the winds often overbalance the strings. More commonly these days, we lose details in the wind parts, so the change in perspective can be refreshing. Also, the interpretations are all distinguished, among the better conceptions of the music currently available. And the playing of the orchestra is quite splendid, very well executed and coordinated throughout. These may not be perfect recordings, but then, neither is any of the others. And every performance has a point of view, an interpretive stance that makes sense. The discs are also available individually (and you will find more detailed reviews of the individual discs), but the price for the complete set is considerably lower. --Leslie Gerber
