About
This new Beethoven symphony cycle with Malmö Symphony Orchestra is conductor Robert Trevino’s debut release on Ondine. Trevino is one of the fastest rising young conductors and known for his fresh and vivid interpretations of both standard repertoire as well as contemporary works. Currently Trevino is holding the tenure as chief conductor of the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and as music director of the Basque National Orchestra. After studies with conductors David Zinman, Seiji Ozawa and Michael Tilson Thomas, Trevino worked closely as Leif Segerstam’s assistant before making his debuts with a number of leading symphony orchestras worldwide. These Beethoven symphonies were recorded in connection with a Beethoven festival which was arranged in Malmö, Sweden in October, 2019.

Awards and reviews
November 2020
The opening of the First Symphony immediately shows the impact on Trevino of historically-informed performance...The orchestral balance is often heavily in favour of the winds, especially the woodwinds, often at the expense of the strings…The last movement [of No. 7] really does seem inspiredly mad, more than any performance I have ever heard. The Eighth has the mischief and the lurking menace which it rarely receives...All told, this set is very well worth having, and in excellent sound.
August 2020
Now 35, Robert Trevino was taken under David Zinman’s wing at Aspen a decade ago. He emulates the older man’s Beethoven in ways both specific...and more general: the pointed voicing within and between parts, underlining the often fierce, sometimes playful argument which animates each work and so powerfully differentiates even the First from symphonic predecessors and contemporaries...In other respects, Trevino goes his own way.
