Le Concert des Nations & Jordi Savall – Beethoven: Symphonies 6-9 (2022) [FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz]

After the critical success of the first volume of Beethoven’s symphonies, Jordi Savall now offers us from the Sixth to the Ninth.This latest publication crowns a nearly two-year world tour and confirms the extent to which the director renews our vision of these most famous works. The Concert des Nations shows that it also knows how to magnify the repertoire of the early 19th century, which will be confirmed by a forthcoming Schubert album.

“During his lifetime Beethoven kept battling on in the face of difficulties, deafness included. In the same spirit, the Catalan conductor and viol player Jordi Savall wasn’t going to let a global pandemic curtail his Beethoven anniversary plans for recording the master’s nine revolutionary symphonies, played on period instruments. The first five symphonies were duly released in 2020. For a time completion was uncertain. But here we are with the remainder, performed as before by Savall’s Les Concert des Nations, enhanced with the vim and new blood of young musicians picked through auditions, and recorded after extensive workshops.”
