Deluxe Edition 180g Mono 10LP Box Set!
Historical Recordings From 1948-1954 Remastered!

An iconic version of the greatest symphonic cycle ever composed; the 3rd, 5th and 9th Symphonies for example are absolutely legendary recordings. These recordings are now brought back into the vinyl format in a deluxe edition.

Beethoven was Wilhelm Furtwänglers guiding musical force. In his interpretations of the symphonies, the conductor generates irresistible dramatic momentum and a constant sense of imaginative freshness through the interrelationship of form, harmony, texture, rhythm and tempo. These recordings, all made in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in the Musikverein in Vienna and at concerts in London, Bayreuth and Stockholm, were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in 2010, bringing their sound more alive than ever before.
