Daniel Barenboim - Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9

Daniel Barenboim — Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9 3LP

"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.
