„Beethoven is the alpha and omega of the symphonic repertoire: a repertoire crucial to any orchestra’s quality. However my orchestra at the Paris Opera had never played the Beethoven symphonies before.“ (Philippe Jordan) This Edition contains all Beethoven Symphonies with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Opéra national de Paris conducted by Philippe Jordan. A brand new production filmed in the highest quality known on the market today made by the creators of the successful Shostakovich cycle. Philippe Jordan presents a young but traditionalist interpretation in the spirit of historical performance practice, setting a new course in Beethoven interpretation. Includes a documentary film „Philippe Jordan – Born to Conduct“ by Reiner E. Moritz. Reiner E. Moritz sketches his astonishing career and in his film uses exciting excerpts of his most important conducting performances, allowing Jordan to recount not only his childhood memories, but also his own career.
