Digital Booklet

|||||
For thirteen years, Gábor Takács-Nagy and the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra embarked on a spiritual journey through Beethoven's nine symphonies. The resulting cycle of recordings showcases the ensemble's liberated and groundbreaking performance of these masterpieces, approaching each work with a sense of spontaneity, insight and joy. In the words of legendary Beethoven biographer Jan Swafford: "What we hear is honesty: no romantic indulgence, no ego, but a sense of the truth of each piece from its own point of view. One senses an intimate communication between orchestra and conductor in the service of a vision of the symphonies as a whole and as individual works.”
