André Cluytens leads the Berliner Philharmoniker in this stunning legacy recordings of Beethoven's Sixth, the "Pastoral" symphony.
Beethoven's symphonies, each of them being a masterpiece in itself, represent a certain stage in the composer's life. Beethoven himself said, "Symphonies are the best representation of my true self. I always seem to hear within me the sound of a great orchestra." He only composed nine symphonies but each one is unique and prepares the way for the next.
Cluytens was regarded as a highly versatile conductor during his lifetime, especially in his interpretation of Beethoven. While most conductors have placed emphasis on the odd-numbered symphonies and were reserved on the even-numbered symphonies, Cluytens voids this usual distinction.
