Beethoven Symphonies No. 1 & No. 3
Price: 12.00
Qty Available:
Manchester Camerata under Music Director Douglas Boyd offer the latest in our critically acclaimed Beethoven cycle, a vivid live recording of the First and Third Symphonies. Manchester Camerata have made an indelible mark with our universally acclaimed series of recordings for Avie. With this release, our fifth for the label, we continue our Beethoven cycle with versions of the First and Third Symphonies that capture the spirit and freshness of these remarkable, genrebusting works, as well as the excitement, atmosphere and energy of the 33-piece orchestra live at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.
'This pair of recordings will, I think, make you hear (these symphonies) in a new light. The small size of the Camerata is a big advantage and helps Douglas Boyd gain a huge range of sound, from a tiny thread to a vociferous roar, while allowing the music to be light on its feet and clearly articulated at the kind of lively speeds Beethoven expected."
