Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1-9 (6 SACD)

Beethoven gave a new definition to the symphonic genre by implying a narrative drama and emotional intensity to his symphonic works. The highly acclaimed and award-winning Beethoven cycle on LSOlive with Bernard Haitink and the London Symphony Orchestra comes to a crowning conclusion this month with the compilation of all episodes into a six SACD box set that is also attractively priced.
