About This Item
I waited a very long time to record the Beethoven symphonies, said Daniel Barenboim when this cycle was first released in 2000. "I waited for the music to mature in me - or me in it - and to find an orchestra that not only did what I asked it to do, but which really felt every detail in the music exactly as I did at the moment we were playing it. This is the greatest joy that a conductor can have." This is the second set of 3LPs, after the first one released in May (Symphonies 3-5); these recordings are released for the very first time on vinyl. Album Tracks 1.
