BEETHOVEN / GARDINER: “Exhilarating performances which have bite and imagination and a sense of spontaneity” –The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs

The most famous, most popular symphonic cycle presented afresh in fantastic sound quality on a specially priced 5-CD set with a new booklet essay by Richard Osborne.

Acclaimed since its first appearance in 1994 — “it leaves every other period-instrument Beethoven set for dead” (Classic CD) — John Eliot Gardiner’s 5-CD Beethoven cycle is now made available for the first time at this special price in Deutsche Grammophon’s Collectors Edition. Beethoven’s immense energy and humanity is vividly captured: as H. C. Robbins Landon wrote in BBC Music Magazine, “I felt as if I were hearing these warhorses for the first time.”
