About

Produced after the complete set of symphonies published to mark the Beethoven bicentenary year, 1970, these are Böhm’s last recordings of Beethoven symphonies. His interpretations convince by their relaxed, fresh atmosphere and by the way in which Böhm carefully models the total sound through all the instruments. The effects of contrast so typical of Beethoven, far from being underplayed, come across powerfully.

At the same time we sense Böhm’s grasp of the dramatic structure of the whole work: schooled as he was in the opera house, this guarantees the vitality and verve of his interpretation. Here, Beethoven’s revolutionary quality is transmuted into classicism.

Live in Munich 1973/78.
