MOG Editorial Review
Beethoven's Complete Symphonies 1927-1938: The First Recordings is more a journey than an album. Showcasing the legendary composer's artistic risks and triumphs over the course of a storied career, the collection casts a wide net, ultimately collecting everything the newbie would want. The brilliant "Symphony No. 3 (Eroica)," complete with grandiose highs and lows, is noted as the moment Beethoven broke free of the classical style and gave birth to musical romanticism. There's also Symphony No.5, with its iconic melody -- perhaps the most famous opening bars in history. While more modern renditions may win over in terms of fidelity, there's a certain romance in exhuming the earlier renditions in a way modern audiences can appreciate.
