Bruno Walter Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 "Choral" (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 "Choral"Condition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON Bruno Walter recorded the Beethoven symphonies in stereo for Columbia in 1958-59, taping No. 9 in New York and Nos. 1-8 in Los Angeles with orchestras of freelance and studio musicians who rose magnificently to the occasion. Walter was in his eighties, but that didn't stop him from grabbing these works by the throat; there is no mincing around, no effusive lingering over phrases, and no ponderous trudging either. The even-numbered symphonies are sunny and outgoing, full of the warmth the conductor exuded during his Indian-summer years in the studio. Yet the drama of the odd-numbered works is not slighted. Walter's account of the Fifth, for example, is an intensely expressive one in which lyricism and thrust are in perfect balance--an evocation of stormy Romanticism at its best. The recordings have held up extremely well; the sound on these 20-bit CDs is spacious yet detailed, with amazing presence and solidity. --Ted LibbeyFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Bruno WalterNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony ClassicalEAN: 0074646446423 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
