PAAVO JARVI - Beethoven Symphonies No 1-9 - VINYL BOX SET

EXTREMELY RARE - ONLY SET FOR SALE ON THE NET

Numbered, Limited Edition #276/999
Deluxe Box Set features 9 LPs pressed on 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl!
Cut by Hendrik Pauler
Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
Exceptional Acoustic Brilliance!

This is really like the good old days a new complete Beethoven cycle on vinyl LP! Of course, Andreas Spreer also had several Beethoven symphonies pressed on vinyl for Tacet (each of which is also worth recommending), but now all nine are available in a high-quality box with a sturdy plastic slipcase. Inside are LPs which have been impeccably pressed by Pallas on 180-gram vinyl and a lavish, large-format 32-page booklet.

In other respects as well, everything is of the very best quality. The distinguished Polyhymnia team around Jean-Marie Geijsen did the original high-resolution digital multichannel recordings and the editing. The stereo SACD mix outstanding, by the way was not simply used for the analog master, however. Instead, Ralf Koschnicke of the Duisberg audiophile label Acousence remixed the multitracks on the analog level. The press matrices were made by none other than Hendrik Pauler at Pauler Acoustics, in the studios of his father, Günter, also committed to absolutely superb sound. It was worth the expenditure. The award-winning recordings, dating from 2004 to 2008, sound overwhelmingly good.

The Performance:
Anyone who has heard them in the concert hall will not soon forget this experience. The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is an orchestra that reacts with incredible alertness, carries out the conductor's directions with lightning speed and passion characteristics which are sadly lacking with a good many municipal symphony orchestras. Perhaps it is because the musicians are partners in their own orchestra, which means that they decide all matters democratically but also bear the business risks themselves, whereas in a "normal" orchestra the musicians generally enjoy civil service status. The fact that the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie was the first orchestra ever to receive the German Record Critics' Certificate of Special Merit in 2009 is justified, as demonstrated by this Beethoven cycle, which was recorded from 2004 to 2008 and, after its release on SACD, is now available for a limited time as an 9LP box set!

There are countless recordings on the market of this most important symphony cycle in musical history. Whereas Wilhelm Furtwängler emphasized the solemn dimension of the music with relatively measured tempos, a tradition continued by such disciples as Barenboim, many contemporary conductors, like Herreweghe, Vänskä, Manze, etc., adopt an approach influenced by the principles of historical performance practice with a lean sound in the strings and winds, brisk tempos, and sharper accents.

The Kammerphilharmonie and Paavo Järvi also follow the latter path. Although they use modern instruments except for natural trumpets and timpani compared to the traditional symphony orchestra, their reduced forces come close to the performance practice of Beethoven's day. The result is a relatively bright, transparent sound in which even seasoned Beethoven listeners can discover previously hidden musical details.

With a good many modern conductors, the emancipation from tradition sometimes seems "contrived" Beethoven brushed the wrong way. With Paavo Järvi, however, everything flows organically. Although he does not shape the Andante cantabile con moto from the First Symphony as an expansive stream of sound, with a brisk tempo he gives it a supple, elegant character, and its charming melody is not lost. During the first movement of the Fifth Symphony, with its famous "fate" motif, he does not emphasize its dramatic weight but takes the movement briskly and jauntily. With sharp accents, abrupt dynamic changes, and a driving tempo, the subsequent climaxes ultimately seem no less explosive than with the "old greats."
