Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 3 "Eroica", 4 and 5

“I waited a very long time to record the Beethoven symphonies,” said Daniel Barenboim when this cycle was first released in 2000. “I waited for the music to mature in me – or me in it – and to find an orchestra that not only did what I asked it to do, but which really felt every detail in the music exactly as I did at the moment we were playing it … This is the greatest joy that a conductor can have.”

Beethoven’s 9 Symphonies recorded by Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin for Teldec in 1999 is released for the first time on vinyl, in 3 separate albums (Symphonies 3-5 – Symphonies 1, 2, 6 and 8 – Symphonies 7 and 9) by the end of this year, starting with this album
