This was true under Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle. What accounts for the special status of these symphonies? Simon Rattle has an explanation: \"Beethoven holds a mirror up to us. He shows us where we stand as musicians.\" Indeed, this music possesses such a wealth of extreme emotions and ingenious compositional ideas that the qualities of an orchestra and its conductor are revealed as if under a magnifying glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hide-additional-content\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"additional-content\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRegarding his personal approach to interpretation, Sir Simon says: “You can play Beethoven too refined or elegant, you can smooth him over too much. You can pretend he’s at peace with himself, even though he’s often struggling with himself. I think the more direct this music sounds, the better. And when I ask my orchestra, ‘Do you want to throw yourselves off the cliff with me, cheering?’ they all answer, ‘Of course!’” The concerts in which the Berlin Philharmonic and its chief conductor presented the symphonies at the Philharmonie in October 2015 were correspondingly thrilling. The virtuosity of these works unfolded as impressively as their revolutionary energy. Performances in Paris, Vienna, and New York followed and were met with standing ovations from the audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe recording of the Berlin performances is offered in a hardcover edition. This version contains the cycle on five CDs and three Blu-ray discs as HD video, in uncompressed audio resolution, and in DTS surround sound. The extensive extras include a video introduction with Sir Simon Rattle and a documentary about the making of the recordings with numerous interviews and behind-the-scenes glimpses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55942998524279,"sku":null,"price":690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3567\/9607\/files\/R-12862872-1583686641-7995.jpg?v=1760350891","url":"https:\/\/klang-maschine.de\/en\/products\/beethoven-symphonien-1-9-boxset-10lp","provider":"Klang Maschine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
