Digital Booklet
|
|||||
The Copenhagen Phil and conductor Lan Shui present their first volume in a cycle of the complete Beethoven symphonies; this double album covers the composer's first four symphonies. When the Copenhagen Phil performs Beethoven and other classical repertoire, the modern timpani and brass instruments are changed for copies of instruments from Beethoven’s time. Conductor Shui explains the benefit of these early instruments: "Lightness! It’s impossible to play heavily with these instruments. Suddenly there is much more clarity and everything fits together: the size of the orchestra, the forward motion, the clarity and lightness. It also fits me very well, both as a conductor and as a person."
